A retrospective review of the medical records of 30 patients with familial adenomatous polyposis who underwent oesophagogastroduodenoscopy was performed to evaluate the spectrum of gastroduodenal polyps. Twenty-five patients (83%) had gastroduodenal polyps. Eighteen patients (60%) had gastric polyps and 21 patients (70%) had duodenal polyps. Five patients (17%) had gastric and 20 patients (67%) had duodenal adenomatous polyps. Three patients (10%) died from an upper gastrointestinal tract adenocarcinoma. Three of nine patients with periampullary adenomas had a normal-appearing papilla of Vater. Since gastroduodenal polyps are common in familial adenomatous polyposis, oesophagogastroduodenoscopy should be performed at the time of diagnosis. Biopsy of polyps as well as biopsy of a normal-appearing papilla of Vater should be performed. Due to their malignant potential, if identified, gastroduodenal adenomatous polyps should be destroyed.

() infection is a widespread global health issue and a primary cause of diseases like gastritis, gastroduodenal ulcers, and gastric cancer. This study examines the prevalence of infection in patients undergoing upper endoscopy and assesses the efficacy of bismuth quadruple therapy (BQT) and levofloxacin triple therapy. A retrospective analysis of 507 gastroscopies was conducted, with indications including epigastric pain, heartburn, postprandial fullness, early satiation, and regurgitation.

Endoscopic ultrasonography findings suggested the presence of an ectopic pancreas, and treatment with an oral proton pump inhibitor was planned for the ulcer. Over the subsequent 3 years, the patient endured recurring epigastric pain and episodes of passing black stools.

Article Synopsis
- A 75-year-old woman experienced nausea and vomiting for weeks before presenting with severe abdominal pain and syncope, leading to a CT scan revealing gastrogastric intussusception caused by a large pyloric gland adenoma.
- During an endoscopic examination, the intussusception was observed and spontaneously resolved with air insufflation, allowing visualization of the lobulated mass.
- The mass, identified as a polyp consistent with gastric adenoma and linked to autoimmune atrophic gastritis, set the stage for a planned endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) treatment.

Article Synopsis
- An elderly female patient with AIDS experienced recurrent abdominal pain and was hospitalized, where it was discovered she had acute pancreatitis and a blockage in her duodenum caused by a "stone."
- Imaging and endoscopy revealed inflammation in the duodenum along with a polyp in the stomach, indicating chronic inflammation with eosinophilic cells.
- The case highlights the importance of considering eosinophilic gastroenteritis in AIDS patients with acute pancreatitis for prompt and effective treatment.
