Gastric carcinoma of the fundic gland type developed 32 years after eradication for duodenal ulcer: a case report.

Introduction: Gastric cancer has been reported to occur with mild to moderate mucosal atrophy, particularly after the eradication of () more than 10 years previously. However, no conclusion has been reached on how many years of esophagogastroduodenoscopy should be performed after eradication.

Presentation Of Case: This was a case of gastric carcinoma of the fundic gland type (GCFGT) 32 years after the eradication of , which is the longest posteradication period reported.

Anti-acid treatment for ulcerated early gastric cancer may be a treatment option avoiding unnecessary gastrectomy: a cohort study.

Unlabelled: Diagnosing the invasion depth of ulcerated early gastric cancer is usually inaccurate, especially for endoscopists in primary care clinics who are often not experts in this area. In reality, many patients with open ulcers who can be treated with endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) are referred for surgery.

Materials And Methods: Twelve patients with ulcerated early gastric cancer who were treated with proton pump inhibitors, including vonoprazan, and underwent ESD were included in the study.

Primary small-cell carcinoma in the lung was found after the cold snare polypectomy of the small metastatic lesion in the cecum: A case report.

Metastasis from small-cell lung cancer to the colon is very rare. A 74-year-old man without respiratory or abdominal symptoms underwent a follow-up lower gastrointestinal endoscopy after a polypectomy. He was diagnosed with a 5 mm IIa non-hyperplastic polyp in the cecum and underwent a cold snare polypectomy.

Malignant melanoma in the stomach treated with endoscopic submucosal dissection: a case report.

Unlabelled: The initial appearance of malignant melanoma localized in the stomach has never been reported previously. We encountered a patient with gastric melanoma in the stomach, which was histologically confirmed to be confined to the mucosa.

Case Presentation: The patient, when in her 40s, had undergone surgery for malignant melanoma of the left heel.

Gel immersion endoscopic mucosal resection in early gastric cancer with bleeding: A case report.

Gel immersion endoscopy was developed by Yano for the treatment of bleeding. In this case, we performed gel immersion endoscopic mucosal resection to treat a bleeding gastric cancer. An 80-year-old man, with chronic renal failure and on aspirin treatment for ischemic heart disease, underwent endoscopic treatment for multiple early gastric cancers on the anterior and posterior walls of the pyloric ring.

Localizing spontaneously hemostatic colonic diverticular bleeding using VISCOCLEAR gel: A case report.

Colonic diverticular bleeding is the most common type of gastrointestinal bleeding. We report a case of an 82-year-old man with a chief complaint of melena. Enhanced computed tomography showed multiple diverticula, and water-assisted colonoscopy could not help identify the diverticulum responsible for bleeding.

Eosinophilic esophagitis induced by sublingual immunotherapy with cedar pollen: a case report.

Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic inflammatory disease associated with eosinophilic infiltration of the esophageal mucosa mostly due to exposure to allergens. However, the causes and pathogenesis of EoE are not fully understood. We encountered a case of EoE that was triggered by sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) for cedar pollen allergy.

Cronkhite-Canada Syndrome Successfully Treated by Corticosteroids before Presenting Typical Ectodermal Symptoms.

Cronkhite-Canada syndrome (CCS) is a rare disease characterized by diffuse gastrointestinal polyposis with chronic diarrhea and ectodermal change, but its etiology is unknown. We present a case at the age of 26 years complaining of epigastralgia and weight loss. Endoscopic examination revealed extensive diffuse polypoid lesions of the stomach and the terminal ileum, all of which showed hyperplastic polyps pathologically.

Effects of vonoprazan on gastric PH and clinical course after gastric ESD: A retrospective and prospective study.

Background: Vonoprazan has been more widely used for artificial ulcers after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for early gastric cancer; however, no reports have examined intragastric pH during ESD. The present study aimed to measure gastric pH at the time of ESD and the clinical course afterwards for patients treated with vonoprazan the night before undergoing ESD.

Materials And Methods: We examined medication status regarding gastric acid secretion and antithrombotic drugs, post-ESD bleeding as a perioperative complication, and the timing of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy after ESD and ulcer healing in 156 patients who underwent gastric ESD at our hospital from January 2014 to December 2019.

Vonoprazan-based triple therapy is non-inferior to susceptibility-guided proton pump inhibitor-based triple therapy for Helicobacter pylori eradication.

Background: All Helicobacter pylori-infected patients are recommended for eradication with an appropriate regimen in each geographic area. The choice of the therapy is somewhat dependent on the antimicrobial susceptibility. The rate of clarithromycin resistance has been increasing and is associated with failure; thus, susceptibility testing is recommended before triple therapy with clarithromycin.

Efficacy of Vonoprazan-Based Triple Therapy for Helicobacter pylori Eradication: A Multicenter Study and a Review of the Literature.

Background: Eradication therapies for Helicobacter pylori infection are advancing as new acid inhibitory reagents approved. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of vonoprazan-based triple treatment.

Materials And Methods: Triple therapy with vonoprazan and two antibiotics (amoxicillin and clarithromycin or metronidazole) received focus in this analysis.

[The clinical importance of "bamboo joint-like appearance" on upper gastrointestinal endoscopy for the diagnosis of Crohn's disease].

Upper gastrointestinal (GI) lesions are frequently reported in Crohn's disease, in which the entire GI tract is affected. In these cases, erosive fissures regularly transversing folds that are longitudinally aligned along the lesser curvature of the gastric body and cardia are described as having a "bamboo joint-like appearance". We designed a blinded experiment in which upper GI imaging without a final diagnosis was checked by three observers to determine the usefulness of the bamboo joint-like appearance in the diagnosis of Crohn's disease.

Loss of ABCB7 gene: pathogenesis of mitochondrial iron accumulation in erythroblasts in refractory anemia with ringed sideroblast with isodicentric (X)(q13).

An isodicentric (X)(q13) (idicXq13) is a rare, acquired chromosomal abnormality originated by deletion of the long arm from Xq13 (Xq13-qter), and is found in female patients with hematological disorders involving increased ringed sideroblasts (RSs), which are characterized by mitochondrial iron accumulation around the erythroblast nucleus. The cause of increased RSs in idicXq13 patients is not fully understood. Here, we report the case of a 66-year-old female presenting with refractory anemia with ringed sideroblasts (RARS), and idicXq13 on G-banded analysis.
