..While minor injuries are amenable to endoscopic therapy, major ones, such as complete transection of the duct, require surgical intervention. We report on the endoscopic management of such injuries...

..It is concluded that AgNORs can act as a good adjuvant to histology in diagnosing liver diseases especially in differentiating post-hepatitic and alcoholic cirrhosis...

..If the colonoscope cannot be negotiated past the stricture the procedure is abandoned, the colonic mucosa proximal to the stricture cannot be inspected, and therefore lesions in these locations may be missed...

..Intestinal metastases from cancer of the lung are rare. We report a 65-year-old man with duodenal metastases from squamous cell cancer causing GI bleeding and biliary and duodenal obstruction; these were managed endoscopically...

..To assess the causes of ileocecal mass in patients with amebic liver abscess...

..The objective was to study the role of band ligation in patients with bleeding peptic ulcer where injection therapy had failed...

..To assess the role of retrograde terminal ileoscopy in hematochezia patients with normal colonoscopy...

..Chronic irritation of the gastric antral mucosa led to ulceration and formation of hyperplastic polyps. We labeled this new entity as a "plastobezoar". The entire bezoar could be removed endoscopically...

..We describe a case where the patient developed recurrent upper gastrointestinal bleeding due to recurrent episodes of jejunogastric intussusception following gastrojejunostomy performed 12 years earlier for duodenal ulcer disease...

..To evaluated the role of hyoscine butyl bromide in facilitating retrograde ileoscopy...

..Our aim was to investigate the colonic changes, if any, in patients with EHPVO and to compare them with those seen in patients with cirrhosis of the liver...

..To study the role of retrograde terminal ileoscopy in patients suspected to have ileocolonic tuberculosis...

..We attempted to find out the feasibility of performing conventional endoscopic sphincterotomy in patients with impacted stones at the ampulla...

..There is also controversy as to what should be the minimum requirements for training and who should be allowed to perform these procedures...

..pylori as a promoting agent in gastric carcinogenesis by stimulating gastric epithelial cell proliferation at the stage of chronic inflammation, thereby making the cells more susceptible to endogenous or exogenous carcinogenic agents...

..It is concluded that fine-needle aspiration biopsy is a simple, rapid, and accurate method of diagnosing palpable colonic masses in patients in whom a colonoscopy is not possible or cannot be performed satisfactorily...

..So far as we are aware, there have been no studies investigating the role of biopsies from endoscopically normal-appearing cecum and terminal ileum in diagnosing colonic or ileal tuberculosis, or both...

..pylori infection is not directly associated with pathogenesis of gastric cancer but it may act as a co-carcinogen by damaging the mucosa and thereby making it more susceptible to effects of carcinogen...

..It has recently been reported that in developed countries gastric outlet obstruction now predicts gastric malignancy. The aim of this study was to find out if this is the case in a developing country like India...

..pylori in patients on anti-ulcer therapy...

..However, the effects of sclerotherapy on hemorrhoids, anorectal or colonic varices and portal hypertensive colopathy are not known. The aim of this study was to investigate these effects...

..It is concluded that the prevalence of H. pylori is significantly less in patients with CRF and that the URUT is less sensitive than gastric histology for diagnosing H. pylori infection in these patients...

..However, the clinical manifestations and radiological appearance of the disease are non-specific. In recent years, colonoscopy has been found to be very useful in diagnosing patients with colonic tuberculosis...

..001), it is concluded that despite a low prevalence of H. pylori and associated gastritis in patients with lepromatous leprosy, gastric epithelial damage is more marked due to altered immune response...

..It, therefore, still appears to be the procedure of choice for endoscopic management of choledocholithiasis. The other two methods may, however, be useful in patients with coagulopathy...

..To assess the role of fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) in patients with palpable colonic masses...

..The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of endoscopic variceal band ligation on hemorrhoids, anorectal/colonic varices and portal hypertensive colopathy...

..To investigate the prevalence of microscopic colitis among patients presenting with chronic watery diarrhea...

..The case demonstrates that H. pylori-induced lymphonodular hyperplasia can also cause gastric outlet obstruction. We believe this is the first such case to be reported...

..This review focuses on the most relevant presentations dealing with colon tumours and colonoscopy...

..pylori. The present article is a mini-review of the history and epidemiology of the bacterium and its suggested association with the development and progression of gastric cancer...

..In an attempt to avoid mechanical lithotripsy, we used large-diameter balloons after sphincterotomy for removing stones that could not be extracted using the conventional methods...

..Patients with CRF have significant upper gastrointestinal tract abnormalities which mainly occur due to metabolic changes in response to high urea concentration in gastric juice and are not related to H. pylori infection...

..CONCLUSIONS: The PAIR procedure was found to be effective, cheap and safe in the non-surgical management of hepatic hydatid cysts...

..The problem of long-term toxicity of siRNA should be addressed and an ideal vector delivery system needs to be designed before it can be put to clinical use...

..This report describes such a case. The patient presented with bleeding from non-healing stomal ulcers. The ulcers healed and there was regression of the tumour after eradication of Helicobacter pylori...
