Recent attention has focused on the potential deleterious effects of radiation exposure from medical imaging procedures. Experimental and epidemiologic evidence suggests that low dose exposure to ionizing radiation may result in the development of solid tumors and leukemia. Medical personnel are limited to a maximum of 50 mHv in a given year. This large retrospective cohort study uses claims data from United Healthcare in selected regions of the United States over a 2-year period (2005–2007). Codes were used to identify patients undergoing imaging procedures. The approximate radiation exposure was calculated for each of ...

Aortoenteric Fistula: An Uncommon Cause of Hematemesis With Characteristic Clinical PresentationEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
A 77-year-old woman presented to the emergency department with hematemesis. A previous esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) for anemia was reported as negative. Her medical history was significant for ischemic heart disease, for which she was receiving beta-blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, and aspirin. Five years prior she underwent an aortoiliac bypass with implantation of a graft for severe peripheral vascular disease. At the time of admission she had a blood pressure of 100/70 mm Hg and a pulse of 100 per minute. Physical examination was otherwise unremarkable. The hemoglobin level was 8.6 g/L, hematocrit...

We thank Drs Hassan and Zullo for their interest in our article. To our knowledge, there are no large cohort studies of long-term follow-up after screening colonoscopy to which our results can be directly compared. The value of colonoscopy as a screening tool rests in its ability to decrease colorectal cancer incidence and mortality at the population level, specifically, in persons with and without adenomatous polyps, curable stage adenocarcinoma, or both. Colonoscopy presumably benefits patients with adenomas by removal of a precancerous lesion; it identifies patients without adenomas for longer follow-up intervals; and i...

Low dose aspirin use for both primary and secondary prevention of vascular disease continues to burgeon. Prior observations suggest that H2 receptor antagonists may be effective in preventing upper gastrointestinal tract mucosal injury. In this randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial, low dose (75–325 mg/day) aspirin users with vascular disease or diabetes underwent upper endoscopy; if no ulcers or esophagitis was identified, the patients were then randomized to famotidine 20 mg or placebo twice daily. Upper endoscopy was then repeated at 12 weeks with the primary endpoint being development of esophageal, gastri...

Yes, Simultaneous Damage to Both the Pancreas and Liver Are Associated in Subjects Who Drink Excessive Amounts of Alcohol!Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
It has generally been accepted that although excessive alcohol intake might lead to liver damage or pancreatic damage, both conditions are rarely associated, and the pathogenesis of the tissue injury is not related. Indeed, many have believed that subjects with alcohol-induced liver damage are somehow not apt to develop pancreatic damage and vice versa. The study by Pace et al in this issue of Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology refutes that remarkably well. These authors evaluated the prevalence of simultaneous liver cirrhosis and chronic pancreatitis in subjects who were heavy imbibers. Postmortem autopsy data were ...

This study used the comprehensive data repository from Manitoba, Canada. Patients admitted to the hospital with a diagnosis of upper gastrointestinal bleeding were matched to a non-bleeding control group. A modest increase in the risk of upper gastrointestinal bleeding was found (odds ratio [OR], 1.43; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.09–1.89). The addition of SSRIs to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) did not significantly increase the risk over use of an NSAID alone. Proton pump inhibitor co-therapy significantly reduced the risk of SSRI-associated upper gastrointestinal bleeding (OR, 0.39; 95% CI, 0.16–0...

Endoscopy revealed a normal esophagus and stomach, but upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showed discrete black pigmentation from the duodenal bulb to the second portion (). Analysis of biopsy samples from the duodenum revealed that a black pigment had accumulated in macrophages of the lamina propria (). The diagnosis, on the ...
