A 47-year-old woman presented with multiple gastric tumors, each up to 10 mm in diameter, in the gastric body and fundus without mucosal atrophy. White spots and numerous transparent, light-brownish, small, and rounded spots were observed in the background gastric mucosa. Biopsy specimens obtained from the tumors revealed gastric neuroendocrine tumors.

Objective: Calcium is an essential mineral involved in the functioning of nearly every human cell. Calcium levels are regulated by dietary absorption, vitamin D status, and parathyroid hormone (PTH). This report describes a patient in whom childhood bowel resection and partial gastrectomy resulted in malabsorptive hypocalcemia in adulthood.

Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) is a common gastrointestinal (GI) problem, but its diagnosis is often missed in the clinical setting. Because its diagnosis mostly requires invasive testing, often its true prevalence is unknown. Commonly presenting complaints include abdominal distension, diarrhea, and malabsorption.

Background & Aims: In patients with autoimmune atrophic gastritis and achlorhydria, hypergastrinemia is associated with the development of type 1 gastric neuroendocrine tumors (gNETs). Twelve months of treatment with netazepide (YF476), an antagonist of the cholecystokinin B receptor (CCKBR or CCK2R), eradicated some type 1 gNETs in patients. We investigated the mechanisms by which netazepide induced gNET regression using gene expression profiling.

Underproduction of hydrochloric acid into the stomach is frequently encountered in subjects from developing countries. We explore the hypothesis that hypochlorhydria compromises the gastric barrier and favours bacterial overgrowth in the proximal parts of the small intestine where nutrient absorption takes place. Food calories are thus deviated into bacterial metabolism.
