Amlapitta means a condition in which sourness of Pitta gets increased. ââ?¬Å?Amlapittaââ?¬Â is the disease of ââ?¬Å?Annavaha Srotasââ?¬Â.\nThe Nidana Sevana creates Mandagni and due to Mandagni, Ajirna is developed which leads to Annavisha production. This\nAnnavisha mixed with Pittadi Doshas then it produces the Amlapitta disease. According to modern view ââ?¬Ë?Hyperacidityââ?¬â?¢ can be\ncompared with Amlapitta. Aim of this research was to evaluate the efficacy of ââ?¬Å?Chhinnodbhavadi Yoga Ghanvatiââ?¬Â in the\nmanagement of Amlapitta. Total 15 patients of age group 16-60 years were registered. Assessment was done based on the relief\nin symptoms after 7 weeks of treatment, with a follow-up of 2 weeks. The data obtained in clinical study was analyzed by using\nââ?¬Å?tââ?¬Â test. Complete remission was found in 6.66% patients; 60% had marked improvement, 26.66% had moderate improvement\nand 6.66% had mildly improved. Research concludes that drug is effective in Amlapitta without any side effect....
Background and Aims. The Canadian Partnership Against Cancer (CPAC) recommends a fecal immunochemical test- (FIT-)\npositive predictive value (PPV) for all adenomas of �50%. We sought to assess FIT performance among average-risk participants\nof the British Columbia Colon Screening Program (BCCSP). Methods. From Nov-2013 to Dec-2014 consecutive participants\nof the BCCSP were assessed. Data was obtained from a prospectively collected database. A single quantitative FIT (NS-Plus,\nAlfresa Pharma Corporation, Japan) with a cut-off of �10 ...
Background. Previous assessments of technical difficulty and procedure time for endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) of gastric\nneoplasms did not take into account several critical determinants of these parameters. However, two key phases of ESD determine\nthe total procedure time: the mucosal circumference incision speed (CIS) and submucosal dissection speed (SDS). Methods. We\nincluded 302 cases of en bloc and R0 resection of gastric neoplasms performed by 10 operators who had completed the training\nprogramat our hospital. Twelve locationswere classified based onmultiple criteria, such as condition of surroundingmucosa, lesion\nvascularity, presence of submucosal fat, ulcers, scars, fibrosis, and scope and device maneuverability. Lesions in different locations\nwere classified into three groups based on the length of the procedure: fast, moderate, or late. Results. A significant difference was\nfound inCIS and SDS for each location (...
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are chronic ailments, Crohn�s disease and ulcerative colitis being the most important. These\ndiseases present an inflammatory profile and they differ according to pathophysiology, the affected area in the gastrointestinal tract,\nand the depth of the inflammation in the intestinal wall. The immune characteristics of IBD arise from abnormal responses of the\ninnate and adaptive immune system. The number of Th17 cells increases in the peripheral blood of IBD patients, while Treg cells\ndecrease, suggesting that the Th17/Treg proportion plays an important role in the development and maintenance of inflammation.\nThe purpose of this review was to determine the current state of knowledge on the immunological basis of IBD.Many studies have\nshown the need for further explanation of the development and maintenance of the inflammatory process....
The aim of our study is to determine the demographic data, indications, performance,\nand security of gastroscopy in children in Ivory Coast. Patients and Methods:\nThis is a retrospective analytical study based on reports of upper digestive\nendoscopy performed in children (from 1 day to 15 years included) in 2 university\nhospitals in Abidjan from March 2009 to March 2016. Results: 276 upper gastrointestinal\nendoscopies (UGIE) were performed in children during the study period.\nUGIE was performed with a diagnostic purpose in most cases (99%). The indications\nof UGIE were abdominal pains (38.95%), ingestion of caustic substances (29.82%),\nupper gastrointestinal bleeding (10.87%) and vomiting (10.17%). UGIE was normal\nin 39.49% of cases for all ages. The main anomalies observed in upper gastrointestinal\n(GI) endoscopy for all ages were gastro pathies (29%); caustic lesions (13.02%) and\nbile reflux (10.45%). Ulcers were rarely found (2.54%). Histological examination of\nbiopsies revealed chronic H. pylori gastritis in 67% of gastric samples examined. All\nendoscopic examinations were performed without incident. Conclusion: Gastroscopy\nis a harmless examination with a great diagnostic and therapeutic utility in digestive\npathology of children in Ivory Coast....
Since a longtime considered as functional and psychological, children�s abdominal\npains (CAP) is a public health problem. Advances in digestive endoscopy\nand Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori ) discovery have reignited the debate\nof the organicity of CAP. The aim of this study is to determine the diagnosis\nrentability of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (UGIE) in CAP in Ivory\nCoast. Patients and Methods: This a retrospective analytical study based on\nreports of UGIE performed in 2 university hospital and 3 private clinics of\nAbidjan from march 2007 to march 2016. The children (from 1 day to 15\nyears) in which UGIE were performed for abdominal pains were included in\nthe study. Results: 116 UGIE were performed in children for abdominal pains\nduring the study period. Epigastric pain was the main indication of UGIE\n(88%). The diagnosis rentability of UGIE was more than 70% in this study.\nThe main anomalies observed in UGIE were gastropathies. Ulcers were rarely\nfound. Conclusion: UGIE play an important diagnosis role in CAP in Ivory\nCoast. However gastric biopsies for Helicobacter pylori research are not\ncommon practice in our country....
