Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is the principal cause of chronic gastritis, gastric ulcers, duodenal and cancer. In clinical practice, diagnosis H. by a gastroenterologists' impression endoscopic images inaccurate cannot be used for management gastrointestinal diseases. The aim this study was to develop an artificial intelligence classification system pre-processing machine learning methods. Endoscopic body antrum from 302 patients receiving endoscopy with confirmation status...
Abstract Background Sequential therapy has been recommended in the M aastricht IV / F lorence C onsensus R eport as first‐line treatment for H elicobacter pylori eradication regions with high clarithromycin resistance. However, it fails 5–24% of infected subjects, and levofloxacin‐containing triple rescue only achieves a 77% rate after failure sequential therapy. Aim To investigate efficacy novel quadruple comprising proton‐pump inhibitor, bismuth, tetracycline, levofloxacin Methods This was...
Reactivation of HBV replication with an increase in serum DNA and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity has been reported 20-50% hepatitis B carriers undergoing cytotoxic chemotherapy for cancer treatment. Manifestation reactivation ranges from asymptomatic self-limiting to severe progressive hepatic failure fatal consequences.To investigate the risk acute exacerbation chronic infection HBsAg-positive patients solid tumors or hematological malignancies who underwent without antiviral...
Abstract Mesothelioma often originates in the pleura and less frequently peritoneum. This article describes a rare case of diffuse malignant peritoneal mesothelioma 54‐year‐old male construction worker who was admitted to our hospital with 2‐month history progressive abdominal distention. Abdominal computed tomography revealed extensive nodularity omental cake along massive ascites. Imaging findings initially suggested carcinomatosis, primary carcinoma, tuberculous peritonitis. Laparoscopic...
In patients with common bile duct stones (CBDS) and intact gallbladder, further management for the gallbladder after CBDS clearance is still controversial. The relationship between motility biliary complications were seldom discussed. Our study to predict subsequent by function test using fatty meal sonography (FMS) in who had been treated endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Patients an of enrolled. received a liver returned normal. fasting volume, residual ejection...

Background and Objectives: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major cause of liver disease worldwide. People who inject drugs (PWIDs) constitute the majority patients with HCV infection in United States Central Asia. There are several obstacles to treating PWIDs because often accompanied by concurrent infection, low compliance, substance abuse, risky behavior. The aim study compare efficacies direct-acting antiviral (DAA) therapy for those without opioid injection. Materials Methods: In this...
Summary Background Incomplete symptom resolution to proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy is a common problem in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The aims this study were (1) examine rate incomplete response following 8‐week PPI patients with mild erosive esophagitis (Los Angeles Grade A/B esophagitis) and (2) determine independent factors predicting esophagitis. Methods From January 2010 July 2012, symptomatic GERD endoscopic findings Los A or B recruited for received...
Abstract Background REAP‐HP study (Real‐world practice and Expectation of Asia‐Pacific physicians patients in Helicobacter Pylori eradication) was the pioneer investigating expectation preference across H. pylori eradication 2015. This is first follow‐up Taiwan. Aims (1) To investigate regimens for first‐line anti‐ therapy Taiwanese gastroenterologist 2020, (2) survey factor that cause most concern when prescribing clinical practice, (3) to compare data 2020 those surveyed 2015 regarding...
Summary Pseudomelanosis duodeni is a rare endoscopic finding that manifests as dark speckled spots in the duodenum. It considered benign condition and associated with certain diseases use of medications. This study reports case 74‐year‐old woman, end‐stage renal disease under maintenance hemodialysis, hypertension regular medical control, iron deficiency anemia oral supplement, progressive suspicious occult gastrointestinal bleeding. Upper endoscopy revealed multiple tiny brownish‐black...
Stomach involvement by inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) in adults is extremely rare. We present a 55-year-old woman with gastric IMT. A mass was found incidentally while performing an abdominal computed tomography (CT) screen examination due to prior history of adenocarcinoma the ascending colon right hemicolectomy after 1-year follow up. Previously CT revealed no before hemicolectomy. Abdominal showed round shaped, protruding, and hypo-attenuated approximately 3.0 cm diameter...
Abstract Recurrence of reflux symptoms following discontinuing proton pump inhibitor therapy is a common problem in the treatment gastroesophageal disease. We aim (1) to examine cumulative 12‐week incidence symptom relapse 8‐week patients with Los Angeles grade A/B erosive esophagitis and (2) search risk factors predicting esophagitis. From June 2010 May 2019, Grade receiving esomeprazole (40 mg qd) for 8 weeks followed by complete resolution were included this study. Subjects received...
Primary gastric large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) in adults is extremely rare. This report presents a 74-year-old male with LCNEC. He experienced abdominal fullness and body weight loss for 3 weeks. Physical examination showed no palpable abnormal mass or tenderness. Upper endoscopy revealed polypoid mass, approximately 3.0 cm diameter, located the anterior wall of middle body. Abdominal computed tomography mildly enhanced, broad-based central ulceration, measuring about 3.3...
