Digestive system disorders: gastroesophageal reflux disease.

This article comes from Clinical Evidence (1999; 1 : 145-153), a new resource for clinicians produced jointly by the BMJ Publishing Group and the American College of Physicians-American Society of Internal Medicine. Clinical Evidence is an extensively peer-reviewed publication that summarizes the best available evidence on the effects of common clinical interventions gleaned from thorough searches and appraisal of the world literature.

Unusual clinical course of metachronous melanomas of the upper digestive system.

Melanoma of the gastrointestinal tract is a rare, highly malignant neoplasm of poor prognosis. This is description of an unusual case of surgically treated patient with two metachronous malignant melanomas of the stomach and the esophagus. The former lesion was located in the cardia and effectively treated with R0 total gastrectomy. The latter was recognized after 67 mo and appeared as irregular, flat, pigmented areas located in the mid esophagus. Subtotal esophagectomy via right-sided thoracotomy, laparotomy and left-sided cervicotomy was performed, but neoplastic cells were found in distal margin (R1). Fourteen months after esophagectomy multiple lung metastases were detected. Patient died 2 mo later.

[Serum gastrin in various diseases of the digestive system. Clinical experience].

Fasting and after meals serum gastrin levels were determined in healthy subjects and patients with different gastroenterological diseases (duodenal and gastric ulcer, hiatal hernia with gastroesophageal reflux, Billroth II gastric resection, atrophic gastritis, Zollinger-Ellison, Ménétrier, chronic calcifying pancreatitis, gastric carcinoma and lymphoma). The results pointed to the usefulness of evaluating both fasting levels and "gastrin curve" after meals as an expression of the rapidity of response of hormone-secreting gastric cells. Calculation of the I.G.O. (Integrated Gastrin Output) must also be carried out to provide a parameter from which the overall ability of G cells to secrete in response to feeding can be assessed.
