A group of 53 patients with the diagnosis of antral mucosal diaphragm is reported. In over 50% of the cases the diaphragm was considered an asymptomatic lesion. In addition, an autopsy study in 29 unselected cases is reported with demonstration of five antral mucosal diaphragms in different forms. On the basis of these findings, it is evident that the antral mucosal diaphragm in the adult is not an acquired lesion secondary to peptic ulcer disease, but may be congenital. In addition, techniques of radiologic evaluation of the diaphragm for significant narrowing of the central aperture using the compressed barium tablet, and for significant gastric outlet obstruction using the "barium burger" examination, are described.

Efficacy of B - mode and elastography ultrasound technique in the prediction of Helicobacter pylori: a prospective study.
BMC Gastroenterol
November 2024
Department of Radiological Sciences, College of Applied Medical Sciences, King Khalid University, Abha, Asir, Saudi Arabia.
Background: Helicobacter pylori (HP) affect nearly 50% of the world's population and can colonize the submucosal and mucosal layers of the stomach wall, causing inflammation leading to a thickening of these layers. The study aimed to evaluate the application value of transabdominal ultrasonography combined with elastography in the prediction of HP using HP Fecal Antigen Test as gold standard.
Method: This prospective case-control study was conducted in 174 participants classified into three groups: Group A: Symptomatic patients with thickened stomach antral and evident HP infection on fecal antigen test results, Group B: Symptomatic patients with thickened antral and no evident HP infection on fecal antigen test results, and Group C: control group of asymptomatic individuals with negative HP screening to predict the diagnostic accuracy of B-mode ultrasound and elastography in the prediction of HP pylori.
Odontogenic maxillary sinus disease: a cone-beam computed tomography surveillance.

The odontogenic maxillary sinus disease (endo-antral syndrome; EAS) is directly related to the spread of endodontic infections from upper premolars and molars with necrotic pulp. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images proved to be a reference diagnostic aid for detecting the etiological relationship between chronic apical periodontitis and maxillary sinusitis. There were retrospectively evaluated a total of 109 CBCT images (47 males and 62 females) from a pool of CBCT scans taken for routine diagnosis and treatment planning in consecutive 353 patients.

Department of Internal Medicine II, Fundeni Clinical Institute, Bucharest, ROU.
Gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE), commonly known as "watermelon stomach," is characterized by parallel red stripes resembling watermelon stripes on endoscopic examination and is an uncommon but significant cause of chronic gastrointestinal bleeding, often associated with systemic diseases such as autoimmune conditions, liver cirrhosis, chronic renal insufficiency, and cardiovascular disease. Various therapeutic approaches have been introduced for GAVE treatment, including medical, endoscopic, and surgical interventions. We report a case of a 60-year-old man with a prior history of GAVE who developed melena and symptomatic severe anemia.

Background/aims: A () infection is the most common cause of chronic gastritis (CG), with approximately 50% of the world's population infected. Long-term infection increases the risk of progression to gastric cancer. This study evaluated the histopathological changes in CG using the Updated Sydney System (USS) to estimate the prevalence and correlation of gastritis with other histological variables.

Background And Aim: Corpus atrophic gastritis (CAG) is defined as autoimmune when the antrum is spared, representing this element a crucial diagnostic criterium of autoimmune gastritis. In contrast, CAG with concomitant antral gastritis (AG), atrophic or non-atrophic, is generally attributed to H. pylori infection.
