Some authors do not accept as valid the clinical diagnosis of gastritis, due to the latter being mainly an anatomical-pathological term. Others, however, argue that such diagnosis may be establish through a correct anamnesis. A cross-sectional study of a hundred and fifty patients undergoing fibrosgastroscopy with antral biopsy and anamnesis, as well as clinical exploration in accordance with specific protocols, has been conducted. We have concluded that there does not exist as symptomatology associated to a concrete pathology, despite the presence of certain symptoms as, for example, the pain, that may be related with certain pathologies (14/20 of those developing H.H.E.D., 22/34 of those developing UB and 7/10 of those developing neoplasia). We also inferred that many of the patients (46/50) with endoscopic and histological normal findings (20/23), present as many as or more symptoms than those with pathological findings. This symptomatology may be due to a somatic disorder that could be hiding the process.

Objective: Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is an investigational treatment for diseases thought to involve alterations in the intestinal microbiota including ulcerative colitis (UC). Case reports have described therapeutic benefit of FMT in patients with UC, possibly due to changes in the microbiota. We measured the degree to which the transplanted microbiota engraft following FMT in patients with UC using a donor similarity index (DSI).

Introduction: We sought to examine the relationship between C-reactive protein (CRP) and clinical, endoscopic, histologic, and radiographic activity in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Methods: All IBD patients at our institution between January 2002 and August 2003 who had a CRP, colonoscopy, and either small bowel follow-through (SBFT) or CT enterography (CTE) performed within 14 days were identified. Clinical activity was assessed retrospectively through review of the medical record.

Biopsies from the vicinity of the esophagogastric junction occasionally show foci of intestinal metaplasia. Whether these biopsies represent Barrett's esophagus in all cases is controversial and of clinical importance because patients with Barrett's esophagus are at significantly increased risk for developing esophageal adenocarcinoma. Recent evidence suggests that intestinal metaplasia of the gastric cardia is also quite common.
