AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the relationship between gallbladder motility and the presence and amount of enterogastric reflux (EGR) in 172 patients with varying gallbladder functions.
- The research involved analyzing gallbladder filling and ejection using a radiotracer and a test meal, to measure EGR frequency and quantity in relation to gallbladder function.
- Findings indicated that EGR is more common in patients with afunctional gallbladders, with higher EGR quantities correlated with greater impairment in gallbladder function.
Article Abstract
The aim of the study was estimation of the relation between the gallbladder (GB) motility function and the presence and quantity of enterogastric reflux (EGR). We investigated 172 patients with: physiological GB function (filling and emptying)(FGB), impaired GB function (prolonged filling and ejection fraction < 45%) and afunctional gallbladder (AGB)(without visualization). The study was performed during 90 min (1 f/min) after i.v. application of 185 MB 99mTc-dietil IDA. After 30 min. test meal was given while at the end stomach was marked. According to the parameters from time activity curves over stomach and hepatobiliary system, the index of ERG was calculated, while GB filling and ejection fraction were estimated from the GB time/activity curve. We can conclude that EGR occurs more frequently in the patients with afunctional GB in comparison to those with functional and decreased motor function. Also, EGR quantity is in correlation with the impairment of the GB function.

Article Synopsis
- GERD is a common stomach problem that affects many people and causes changes in the esophagus due to inflammation.
- Researchers studied a substance called bombesin to see if it could help reduce inflammation and stomach pain in mice with GERD.
- The results showed that bombesin helped lower pain and improve stomach conditions, suggesting it could be a good treatment option for people with GERD.

Gastric stump carcinoma is a rare phenomenon and could occur in individuals after a distal gastric resection. Regardless of the surgical approach, it can lead to certain complications. However, the Billroth II gastrojejunostomy procedure has been noted to have some specifically interesting complications due to the anatomical changes it triggers.

Gastric stump carcinoma, also known as remnant gastric carcinoma, is a malignancy arising in the remnant stomach following gastrectomy for a benign or malignant condition. Enterogastric reflux and preexisting risk factors in a patient with gastric cancer are the major contributors to the development of gastric stump carcinoma. The occurrence of gastric stump carcinoma is time-dependent and seen earlier in patients operated on for malignant rather than benign diseases.

We present a case study of a 56-y-old man who was admitted with acute abdominal pain and was found to have retroperitoneal hematoma from a ruptured duodenal aneurysm. Tc-diisopropyliminodiacetic acid cholescintigraphy showed incidental absent transit of radiotracer into the distal duodenum and severe enterogastric reflux, thought to be secondary to duodenal obstruction from the hematoma. Findings were confirmed on esophagogastroduodenoscopy, and the patient improved after subsequent gastrojejunostomy.
