Background/Aim: A large number of diseases are ascribed to Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), particularly chronic active gastritis, peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer. Successful treatment H. infection with antimicrobial agents can lead regression pylori–associated disorders. Antibiotic resistance against is increasing, it necessary find new effective agents. Nigella sativa seed (NS), a commonly used herb, possesses in vitro anti-helicobacter activity. The present study was undertaken...
To determine whether antiplatelet agents are associated with endoscopic sphincterotomy-related haemorrhage as few well-controlled data exist on this controversial issue.A case-control study in a tertiary care setting included cases bleeding following sphincterotomy, matched 2-3 controls selected according to age +/- 15 years, sex, and procedural date+/- 2 years. Cases were compared for possible risk factors of postendoscopic sphincterotomy (presence coagulopathy cholangitis). The main...
Objective: This study aimed to assess the prevalence and risk factors of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) among medical non-medical students at Imam Abdulrahman bin Faisal University, Saudi Arabia. Methods: A cross-sectional was conducted University in Al Khobar, Participants completed a self-administered questionnaire that included demographic data, factors, Rome IV criteria diagnose IBS, Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) stress levels their association with IBS development. Results: Out 710...
One key area of interest in gastroenterology research is the relationship between Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) and Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Several studies have shown varying results regarding prevalence H. IBD patients its impact on progression, severity, overall outcome. This a prospective cohort study conducted at King Fahad University Hospital Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia from November 2023 to May 2024 determine association with severity. The included 2 arms for comparison which...
Abstract Introduction: Corona virus disease-2019 (COVID-19) presents primarily with respiratory symptoms. However, extra manifestations are being frequently recognized including gastrointestinal involvement. The most common symptoms nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and abdominal pain. Gastrointestinal perforation in association COVID-19 is rarely reported the literature. Patient concerns diagnosis: In this series, we reporting 3 cases different presentations of setting COVID-19. Two patients were...
Abstract The eradication rates for Helicobacter pylori globally are decreasing with a dramatic increase in the prevalence of antibiotic resistant bacteria all over world, including Saudi Arabia. There is no current consensus on management H. Gastroenterology Association developed these practice guidelines after reviewing local and regional studies . aim was to establish recommendations guide healthcare providers managing Experts areas microbiology were invited write guidelines. A literature...
Summary Background Inappropriate use of intravenous proton pump inhibitors is prevalent. Aim To assess appropriateness inhibitor prescribing. Methods Retrospective review in‐patient prescribing pantoprazole over a 2‐month period in 2004, an academic centre. Prescribing was deemed appropriate before and after endoscopic haemostasis, fasting individuals requiring inhibitor. Results Amongst 107 patients, 49 (46%) had upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Overall, 33 (31%, 95% CI: 22–41%) received...
Abstract Background Crohn’s diseases and ulcerative colitis, both of which are chronic immune-mediated disorders the gastrointestinal tract major contributors to overarching Inflammatory bowel diseases. It has become increasingly evident that pathological processes IBDs results from interactions between genetic environmental factors, can skew immune responses against normal intestinal flora. Methods The aim this study is assess analyze taxa diversity relative abundances in CD UC Saudi...
Primary gastric actinomycosis is extremely rare, the appendix and ileocecal region being most commonly involved sites in abdominopelvic actinomycosis. Herein, we report a case of primary The diagnosis was made on microscopic evaluation gastroscopic biopsy specimens. To best our knowledge, this third to be reported literature, which rather than resection specimen.An 87-year-old Saudi male medication for cardiomyopathy, premature ventricular contractions, renal impairment, hypertension,...
Abstract Background There is inconsistent evidence about the association between Helicobacter pylori ( H. ) and dental diseases with possible effect of environmental factors. The aims study were to assess (1) gastric oral colonization (2) diseases. Methods A cross‐sectional was conducted in King Fahad University hospital Khobar, Eastern Saudi Arabia 2017. Patients admitted Endoscopy Unit recruited clinically examined for plaque, decayed teeth (D), filled (F), missing (M), periodontal pocket...
Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is a rare gastrointestinal (GI) disorder characterized by nonspecific GI symptoms, peripheral eosinophilia, and eosinophilic infiltration of the intestinal wall. The classified into mucosal, muscular, sub-serosal types, depending on clinical picture depth within Sub-serosal disease, which complicated ascites, usually results in most severe form requires early corticosteroid therapy. In such cases, favorable outcome can be achieved after short course...
Background: Both genetic and environmental factors play major roles in the development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Recent studies have identified a number susceptibility loci for Crohn's (CD) ulcerative colitis (UC). Objectives: The present study aimed at examining association nine polymorphisms four different genes with CD UC sample Saudi patients IBD. Materials Methods: All gene were by polymerase chain reaction direct sequencing. Allele genotype frequencies NOD2/CARD15 (R702W,...
Mycophenolate mofetil is a component of immunosuppressive regimens in solid-organ transplant recipients. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea without fever are common patients treated with mycophenolate mofetil. We patient who had acute colonic pseudo-obstruction after kidney that resolved discontinuing The disorder recurred soon resuming mofetil, which evidence for an association between this patient.
The frequency of the Right Posterior Sectional Bile Duct (RPSBD) hump sign in cholangiogram when it crosses over right portal vein known as Hjortsjo Crook Sign and bile duct anatomy are studied. Knowledge implication positive can facilitate safe resection for both vein.Prospectively, we included 237 patients with indicated ERCP during a period from March 2010 to January 2015.The mean age (±SD) male female ratio were 38.8 (±19.20) 1 : 1.28, respectively. All Arab Middle Eastern origin, had...
BACKGROUND Cerebral palsy may be accompanied by gastrointestinal disorders. Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube placement is an increasingly performed procedure in these patients. While PEG feeding can result weight gain and a decrease aspiration episodes, this insertion of not without complications. Specifically, intestinal volvulus following exceedingly rare complication. CASE REPORT A 34-year-old man with cerebral was brought to the emergency department history recurrent...
Recognizing hepatic manifestations of COVID-19 and their impact on the severity outcome is crucial in managing this emerging pandemic.
