13. Pneumatose intestinal
Pneumatosis Intestinalis (PI) is the presence of gas-filled cysts within the wall of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). It is a clinical and/or radiological sign associated with a wide spectrum of diseases, so that it has a variable clinical significance. Probably, its prevalence is increasing. The nature of the diseases causing PI is been modifying in last d

14. Aspectos clinicos e morfologicos da pancreatite cronica em uma serie de 320 pacientes
With the purpose to describe clinical aspects, complications, morphological alterations and associations with others disease, were investigated a series ofthe 320 patients with diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis between 1978 and 1994. Of them, 294 (91,9%) were males and 26 (8,1 %) females, with mean age at diagnosis of 40.9 :t 9.7 years. Criteria for diagnosi

15. Peptic duodenitis--does it exist in the second part of the duodenum?
AIM: To re-evaluate all patients diagnosed histologically as having peptic duodenitis who had known endomysial antibody (EMA) test results to find out whether they would still be classified as peptic duodenitis on histological analysis and to review their subsequent clinical course. METHODS: All mucosal biopsy specimens of the second part of the duodenum whi

16. Helicobacter pylori and peptic ulcer disease.
Medical therapy for duodenal or gastric ulcer disease has traditionally involved gastric acid antisecretory therapy for 4 to 8 weeks to promote initial healing and indefinitely to prevent recurrences of ulcer. The discovery of Helicobacter pylori in most patients with peptic ulcer disease has led to a change in this approach. Therapy designed to eradicate H

17. Coeliac disease with histological features of peptic duodenitis: value of assessment of intraepithelial lymphocytes.
AIMS--To determine if a clinically important polymorphonuclear leucocyte infiltrate and surface gastric epithelial metaplasia occur in the second part of the duodenum in coeliac disease; to evaluate the utility of these morphological criteria in the differential diagnosis of coeliac disease and peptic duodenitis. METHODS--49 mucosal biopsy specimens of the s

18. The Helicobacter pylori breath test: a surrogate marker for peptic ulcer disease in dyspeptic patients.
BACKGROUND: There is interest in noninvasive H pylori testing as a means of predicting diagnosis and determining management in dyspeptic patients. AIMS: To assess the value of the 14C urea breath test as a predictor of peptic ulcer disease in patients presenting with dyspepsia. PATIENTS AND METHODS: 327 consecutive patients referred for investigation of dysp

19. A congenital intraspinal gastroenterogenous cyst in diastematomyelia
A female neonate, with neurological signs and leucocytosis in sterile spinal fluid, was found to have anomalies of the upper thoracic vertebral bodies with a bony spur indicating diastematomyelia. The spur was removed, but symptoms recurred. Necropsy at the age of 5 months revealed an intraspinal gastroenterogenous cyst containing a perforated peptic ulcer.

20. High peptic stricture of the oesophagus.
Fifty-seven patients with high peptic stricture and the lower oesophagus lined by columnar epithelium are considered from the clinical point of view. Information from 115 cases of low stricture is introduced for comparison. The average age of adult patients was 62 years with a sex incidence of 36 females to 21 males. There is little difference between the sy

21. A comparison of rheumatoid arthritis in Australia and China.
A comparison was made of two series of consecutive outpatients with a presumptive diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) attending referral centres in Melbourne and Shanghai. No significant differences were observed in disease onset, course, presence of antinuclear antibodies (ANA), or seropositivity. In the Australian series there was a higher frequency of

22. Increased expression of IL-10 and IL-12 (p40) mRNA in Helicobacter pylori infected gastric mucosa: relation to bacterial cag status and peptic ulceration.
AIMS: To investigate interleukin (IL)-12 (p40) and IL-10 mRNA expression levels in the gastric mucosa in relation to H pylori cag status, peptic ulceration, and histopathology. METHODS: In 81 dyspeptic patients, antral and corpus biopsies were taken for reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and histology. G3PDH (control) and IL-10 and IL-1

23. Immunoglobulin G antibodies to Helicobacter pylori in patients with dyspeptic symptoms investigated by the western immunoblot technique.
Helicobacter pylori is a gram-negative, curved, rod-shaped bacterium known to cause gastritis and to be an important factor in the pathogenesis of peptic ulcers. Serological testing has recently been proposed as an aid in diagnosis of H. pylori infections. In this study, we used the Western immunoblot technique to evaluate the possibility of using one or mor

24. Giardiasis.
Giardiasis is one of the most common pathogenic intestinal protozoal infections worldwide. Giardia lamblia is the most frequently identified etiologic agent in outbreaks associated with the ingestion of surface water, often due to ineffective filtration or pretreatment. In addition to humans, other sources of infection include beavers, perhaps muskrats, and
