Patients who present with upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) in the setting of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) may have
suffered an UGIB that subsequently led to an AMI or endured an AMI and subsequently suffered a UGIB as a consequence of anticoagulation.
We hypothesized that patients in the former group bled from more severe upper tract lesions. The aim of this study was to
evaluate predictors for endoscopic therapy in patients who suffer a concomitant UGIB and AMI. Retrospective, single center
medical record abstraction of hospital admissions from January 1, 1996–December 31, 2002. During the study period, 183 patients
underwent an esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) within 7 days of suffering an AMI and UGIB (AMI group N=105, UGIB group N=78). A higher proportion of patients in the UGIB group (41%) was found to have high-risk UGI lesions requiring endoscopic
treatment compared to patients in the AMI group (17%; P < 0.004). UGIB as the inciting event and patients suffering from hematemesis and hemodynamic instability were significantly
associated with requiring endoscopic therapy. Although predominantly diagnostic, endoscopic findings in the AMI group did
alter the decision to perform cardiac catheterization in 43% of patients. Severe complications occurred in 1% (95% confidence
interval, 0%–4%) of patients. We conclude that in patients suffering from concomitant UGIB and AMI, urgent endoscopy was most
beneficial in patients with UGIB as the initial event and those presenting with hematemesis and hemodynamic instability. In
patients without these clinical features, urgent endoscopy may be delayed, unless cardiac management decisions are dependent
on endoscopic findings. 相似文献

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) is a severe and frequent complication of cirrhosis. Recombinant coagulation factor VIIa (rFVIIa) has been shown to correct the prolonged prothrombin time in patients with cirrhosis and UGIB. This trial aimed to determine efficacy and safety of rFVIIa in cirrhotic patients with variceal and nonvariceal UGIB. METHODS: A total of 245 cirrhotic patients (Child-Pugh < 13; Child-Pugh A = 20%, B = 52%, C = 28%) with UGIB (variceal = 66%, nonvariceal = 29%, bleeding source unknown = 5%) were randomized equally to receive 8 doses of 100 microg/kg rFVIIa or placebo in addition to pharmacologic and endoscopic treatment. The primary end point was a composite including: (1) failure to control UGIB within 24 hours after first dose, or (2) failure to prevent rebleeding between 24 hours and day 5, or (3) death within 5 days. RESULTS: Baseline characteristics were similar between rFVIIa and placebo groups. rFVIIa showed no advantage over standard treatment in the whole trial population. Exploratory analyses, however, showed that rFVIIa significantly decreased the number of failures on the composite end point (P = 0.03) and the 24-hour bleeding control end point (P = 0.01) in the subgroup of Child-Pugh B and C variceal bleeders. There were no significant differences between rFVIIa and placebo groups in mortality (5- or 42-day) or incidence of adverse events including thromboembolic events. CONCLUSIONS: Although no overall effect of rFVIIa was observed, exploratory analyses in Child-Pugh B and C cirrhotic patients indicated that administration of rFVIIa significantly decreased the proportion of patients who failed to control variceal bleeding. Dosing with rFVIIa appeared safe. Further studies are needed to verify these findings. 相似文献

Remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis pitting oedema (RS3PE) is a distinct form of seronegative rheumatoid arthritis like polyarthritis. It is characterized by late onset symmetrical joint involvement and pitting oedema of hands and feet (JAMA 254(19):2763–2767, [1]). Polyarthritis secondary to intravesical Bacillus Calmette Guerin (BCG) therapy has been reported (Clin Rheumatol 21:536–537, [2]). To our knowledge, about 0.5% of patients receiving BCG instillation presented polyarthritis, but only one case of RS3PE has been reported (J Rheumatol 28:1699–1701, [3]). We described the second case of RS3PE following intravesical BCG instillation of bladder carcinoma. 相似文献

A possible role of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) in the pathomechanism of sarcoidosis must be considered in the analysis of this disorder since elevated concentrations of this cytokine have been found. In addition, TNFα expression could be demonstrated in sarcoid granulomata [1]. It is well known that TNFα plays a crucial role in granulomatous inflammation, e.g., in mycobacterial diseases [2]. Therefore, TNFα blockade is a potential approach in the therapy for sarcoidosis. Up to now, various cases of therapy-resistant sarcoidosis treated with anti-TNFα (infliximab and etanercept) have been reported [3–8]. Here, we describe successful treatment using adalimumab, a human recombinant immunoglobulin (Ig) G1 anti-TNF monoclonal antibody [9]. 相似文献

Background and aimsGastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE) is characterized by angliodysplastic lesions that can cause upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB). The mechanism behind GAVE and its association with other diseases remains unknown. We investigated the association of metabolic syndrome in cirrhotic GAVE patients when compared to esophageal variceal hemorrhage (EVH) patients.MethodsWe performed a retrospective review of 941 consecutive esophagogastroduodenoscopies (EGDs) for UGIB at a medical center between 2017 and 2019. The GAVE group consisted of EGD or biopsy diagnosed cirrhotic GAVE patients, and the EVH group consisted of EVH patients with active bleeding or stigmata of recent hemorrhage on EGD. Baseline variables including co-morbidities and cirrhotic etiology were recorded. Continuous variables were compared using Wilcoxon test and categorical variables were compared using Chi-square or Fisher's exact test. Multiple logistic regression analysis evaluated the association between GAVE and covariates.ResultsThe final cohort had 96 GAVE and 104 EVH patients. Mean BMI was significantly higher in the GAVE cohort (32.6 vs 27.9, p < 0.0001) in addition to diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia (53.1% vs 37.5%; 76% vs 47.1%; 38.5% vs 14.4%; respectively, all p < 0.05). Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) cirrhosis was more prevalent in GAVE than EVH patients (50% vs 24%, p = 0.0001). Multiple logistics regression revealed female sex, increased BMI, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia all having significantly higher risk of GAVE (all p < 0.05).ConclusionOur data indicates that when compared to cirrhotics patients with EVH, cirrhotics with GAVE have increased risk of metabolic syndrome. This may play a role in the underlying pathophysiology of GAVE. 相似文献

Background
Patients with active upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) require urgent endoscopy, but appropriate criteria for urgent endoscopy in these patients have not yet been established.Aims
The goal of this study is to establish a simple system for the selection of UGIB patients who may benefit from urgent endoscopy.Methods
Of the 335 patients who required emergency hospitalization for UGIB from May 2010 to March 2012 at Nagoya Daini Red Cross Hospital, 166 patients who underwent placement of a nasogastric tube (NGT) were retrospectively identified. Active bleeding on the endoscopic image was used as an endpoint that reflected the need for urgent endoscopy.Results
The ratio of the heart rate to the systolic blood pressure (HR/SBP ratio) and aspiration of fresh or dark red fluid from the NGT [NGT(+)] were significant predictors of active bleeding in the univariate analysis [HR/SBP ratio, P = 0.016; NGT(+), P < 0.001]. The HR/SBP ratio [odds ratio (OR) 8.118; 95 % confidence intervals (CI) 1.696–38.850; P = 0.009] and NGT(+) (OR 4.630; 95 % CI 2.092–10.204; P < 0.001) were also significantly associated with active bleeding in the multivariate analysis. Moreover, receiver operating characteristic analysis revealed a setting with HR/SBP ratio >1.4 or NGT(+) to be optimal criteria to predict active bleeding. These criteria were associated with a sensitivity of 64.9 % (24/37) and a specificity of 76.7 % (99/129) for the prediction of active bleeding; consequently, they are superior to the sensitivity and specificity of previously proposed criteria.Conclusions
A novel and simple criteria system using NGT(+) and HR/SBP is a good predictor of the need for urgent endoscopy in patients with nonvariceal UGIB. 相似文献7.

Background and Study Aims
Acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding (AUGIB) in cirrhotic patients occurs mainly from esophageal and gastric varices; however, quite a large number of cirrhotic patients bleed from other sources as well. The aim of the present work is to determine the prevalence of non-variceal UGIB as well as its different causes among the cirrhotic portal hypertensive patients in Nile Delta.Methods
Emergency upper gastrointestinal (UGI) endoscopy for AUGIB was done in 650 patients. Out of these patients, 550 (84.6 %) patients who were proved to have cirrhosis were the subject of the present study.Results
From all cirrhotic portal hypertensive patients, 415 (75.5 %) bled from variceal sources (esophageal and gastric) while 135 (24.5 %) of them bled from non-variceal sources. Among variceal sources of bleeding, esophageal varices were much more common than gastric varices. Peptic ulcer was the most common non-variceal source of bleeding.Conclusions
Non-variceal bleeding in cirrhosis was not frequent, and sources included peptic ulcer, portal hypertensive gastropathy, and erosive disease of the stomach and duodenum.8.

AimGastrointestinal tract is the most common source of severe bleeding following excessive warfarin anticoagulation (EWA). We aimed to describe the risk factors and outcome associated with upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) in patients admitted with EWA.MethodsDemographics, clinical, laboratory and endoscopic findings of patients admitted with EWA from 2003 to 2015 were reviewed. Hospital mortality, blood product utilization and hospital length of stay were recorded. Regression analyses were performed for prediction of GI bleeding and mortality in patients with EWA.ResultsMedical records of 157 women and 121 men were reviewed. From 41 patients presented with UGIB, 31 (75.6%) underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy. Preexisting peptic ulceration (32.2%) was the most common source of bleeding in these patients. Hospital mortality was 9.8% in patients with UGIB which was similar to those without. In average, patients with UGIB required 2 units more packed red blood cells and fresh frozen plasma. Older age (P = 0.045) and previous history of peptic ulcer disease (P < 0.001) were the predictors of UGIB in patients with EWA.ConclusionPresence of past or current peptic disorders was the strongest predictor of UGIB in patients with EWA. Despite comparable hospital mortality, these patients required more transfusion of blood products. 相似文献

This study aimed to evaluate whether (1) the portal venous flow pattern determined by color Doppler sonography could be related to the clinical severity of liver cirrhosis and (2) whether the flow patterns differ between patients with bleeding and nonbleeding esophageal varices. One hundred twenty-nine cirrhotic patients and 60 noncirrhotic healthy controls were enrolled after endoscopic survey for the presence of esophageal varices. Each patient received color Doppler echography to define the pattern of blood flow direction as hepatopetal or nonhepatopetal (hepatofugal, turbulence, and bidirection) in type. The patients with esophageal varices were further categorized into two groups: with recent bleeding (BEV; n = 99) and without recent bleeding (NBEV; n = 30). More patients in the BEV group (72.7%) had a nonhepatopetal Doppler flow pattern than in the control group (1.7%) and NBEV group (13.3%)
(P < 0.001). Among the 129 cirrhotic patients, the nonhepatopetal flow pattern of the portal vein was higher in 96% of Child–Pugh grade C patients than in 41.8% of grade A patients and 57.6% of grade B patients (P < 0.05). Moreover, for those cirrhotic patients with Child–Pugh grades A and B, the nonhepatopetal Doppler flow pattern was more commonly found in the BEV group than in the NBEV group (63.0 vs. 13.8%; odds ratio, 10.64; 95% CI, 0.03–0.299; P < 0.001). Portal venous blood flow pattern is related to severity of cirrhosis. The presence of a nonhepatopetal flow pattern implicates an increased risk of esophageal varices bleeding, especially for those cirrhotic patients with Child–Pugh grades A and B. 相似文献

Acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) is a frequent diagnosis prompting hospital admission or complicating another preexisting condition. This report examines the experience of an urban medical center in the utilization of endoscopy and endoscopic hemostasis in the diagnosis and management of UGIB over a four-year period. The first portion of this study examines 562 admissions to a single institution with UGIB. The most common causes of bleeding were acute gastric mucosal lesions (AGML), 24%; esophageal varices (EV), 22%; gastric ulcers, 19%; duodenal ulcers, 14%; Mallory-Weiss tears, 11%; and esophagitis, 3%. Nonoperative treatment was sufficient in the majority of patients (89.5%). Endoscopic therapy was utilized in 144 patients (26%), of whom 12 required a subsequent operation. Fifty-eight patients (10.5%) underwent surgery; however, emergent operations were required in only 2.5% of the patients. Factors correlating with mortality included shock at the time of admission (SBP < 80), transfusion requirements of > 5 U PRBC, and presence of EV (each p < 0.001). The second part of this study examines the effect of thrombogenic sclerotherapy on both short and long-term survival in 101 patients referred with bleeding esophageal varices. Alcoholic cirrhosis was responsible for the majority (88%) of EV, and most patient were Child's C classification (84%). In long-term follow-up, rebleeding was significantly reduced (p = 0.03) in patients compliant with follow-up sclerotherapy. A trend toward decreased mortality was noted in patients compliant with sclerotherapy and in those who avoided further alcohol usage. 相似文献

– | Upper endoscopy to assess the risk of rebleeding in patients with nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding may be used for triage, allowing outpatient care of selected patients and leading to significant cost savings. |
– | Over the last 10 years, hospitalization days required for upper gastrointestinal bleeding have decreased significantly and the majority of patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding undergo endoscopy within 24 hours of admission. Twenty percent to 35% of these endoscopies include endoscopic hemostatic therapy. |
– | Endoscopic treatment is recommended for actively bleeding (ie, spurting or oozing) visible vessels and nonbleeding visible vessels that are raised and cannot be washed off. |
– | Endoscopic methods can be divided into thermal (multipolar coagulation, heater probe, argon plasma coagulator, Nd:YAG laser) and nonthermal (eg, injection therapy); both types are effective. A combination of injection and thermal therapy with initial injection to slow the bleeding or ”clear the field” followed by coagulation of the identified vessel is popular. |
– | Bleeding recurs in 15% of patients. A recent randomized controlled trial of repeat endoscopic treatment versus surgery for patients with recurrent ulcer bleeding concluded that endoscopic retreatment is superior to surgery. |
– | Most peptic ulcer rebleeding occurs within the first 3 days of presentation. A comparison of omeprazole and placebo therapy in high-risk ulcer patients with bleeding stigmata at endoscopy who were not treated endoscopically found that highdosage omeprazole (40 mg twice a day) significantly lowered the rates of further bleeding and surgical intervention. Although unlikely to replace endoscopic therapy, this study demonstrated the efficacy of potent acid suppression, perhaps due to stabilization of clotting activity. A recent placebo-controlled trial of high-dosage parenteral omeprazole after endoscopic treatment of bleeding peptic ulcers demonstrated a substantial reduction in the risk of rebleeding. |

Background
Upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) is a common gastrointestinal emergency, which is potentially fatal. Proper management of UGIB requires risk-stratification of patients which can guide the type and aggressiveness of management. The aim of this was study was identify the causes of UGIB and factors that increase the risk of mortality in these patients.Methods
This was a prospective cohort study conducted over a period of seven months at a tertiary hospital. Adults admitted with UGIB were included in the study. Demographic data, laboratory parameters and endoscopic findings were recorded. Patients were then followed up for 60 days to identify the occurrence of mortality. Chi-square tests and cox-regression was used to determine association between risk factors and mortality in the bivariate and multivariate analysis, respectively.Results
A total of 170 patients with UGIB were included. Males accounted for the majority (71.2%). Median age of the study population was 40.0 years. Chronic liver disease was present in 30.6% of study patients. The most common cause of UGIB among the 86 patients who underwent endoscopy was oesophageal varices (57%), followed by peptic ulcer disease (18%) and gastritis (10%). Mortality occurred in 57 patients (33.5%) and was significantly higher in patients with high white blood cell count (HR 2.45, p 0.011), raised serum alanine aminotransferase (HR 4.22, p 0.016), raised serum total bilirubin (HR 5.79, p 0.008) and lack of an endoscopic procedure done (HR 4.40, p <0.001). Rebleeding was reported in 12 patients (7.1%) and readmission due to UGIB in 4 patients (2.4%)Conclusions
Oesophageal varices was the most common cause of UGIB. One-third of patients admitted with upper gastrointestinal bleeding died within 60 days of admission, signifying a high burden. Rebleeding and readmission rates were low. A high WBC count, raised serum ALT, raised serum total bilirubin and a lack of endoscopy were independent predictors of mortality. These findings can be used to risk-stratify patients who may benefit from early and more aggressive management.13.

GOALS: To assess epidemiologic features and predictive factors of mortality of acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB). STUDY: During a 6-month period, a prospective population-based study including all the UGIB occurring in a geographic area of 3 million people was conducted. Data from cirrhotic patients were compared with those of noncirrhotic patients. RESULTS: A total of 2,133 UGIB were recorded, 21.9% in cirrhotic patients (n = 468). Endoscopic hemostasis was performed in 46.5% and 8.3% in cirrhotic and noncirrhotic patients, respectively (P < 0.001). Mortality during hospitalization was 23.5% in cirrhotic patients and 11.2% in noncirrhotic patients (P < 0.001). Six independent predictive factors of mortality were observed in both patient groups: a prothrombin level less than 40%, an UGIB occurring in inpatients, a concomitant digestive carcinoma, a hematemesis revealing the UGIB, a recent use of steroid drugs, and age over 60 years. Four other predictive factors of mortality were also identified in noncirrhotic patients. CONCLUSIONS: Although epidemiologic features, clinical course, management, and prognosis of UGIB were quite different in cirrhotic and noncirrhotic patients, the majority of predictive factors of mortality were the same in both patient groups. These data underline the major role of debilitated status and hepatic failure in the prognosis of UGIB in cirrhotic patients. 相似文献

Cardiovascular disease remains the number one cause of mortality in the United States. Nearly 2,400 Americans die of cardiovascular
disease each day, an average of 1 every 37 s [1]. One in three Americans has been diagnosed with one or more forms of cardiovascular disease. Most recent estimates show
that, in the United States alone, 16 million people have coronary artery disease and 5.3 million have been diagnosed with
heart failure. Unlike other forms of cardiovascular disease, heart failure is often the end-stage of a cardiovascular disease,
frequently coronary artery disease. The 1-year mortality of people diagnosed with heart failure remains a sobering 20%. Heart
failure is also very costly. The estimated direct and indirect cost of heart failure in the US for 2008 is 34.8 billion dollars
[1]. Therefore, advanced treatment options for these populations could greatly impact patient health outcomes and cost savings.
Even with the advancements in pharmacologic therapies and improvements in mechanical support devices, the only definitive
treatment for advanced heart failure remains heart transplantation. Given the limited availability of donor organs for use
in orthotopic heart transplantation, alternative therapies including stem cell-based therapies have been explored. The past
decade has seen an explosion of activity of the field of cardiac regeneration. New scientific techniques and discoveries have
allowed rapid advancements but there have also been conflicting opinions and results. The concept of cardiac regeneration
is now commonly accepted but the exact mechanisms and extent of regeneration is greatly debated. Several candidate cell populations,
both cardiac and extracardiac, have been reported to be capable of cardiac regeneration [2–10]. However, some studies question if these cell populations actually differentiate into cardiomyocytes but rather function
through paracrine effects or through cell fusion [11–13, 14–19]. Despite these challenges, the field has also begun translating the preclinical animal studies into human clinical trials
using several cell types for the treatment of many clinical disease states. This review will highlight the preclinical animal
studies and review the results of the published clinical trials. 相似文献

Heterotopic pancreas, or pancreatic rest, refers to extra-pancreatic tissue without an obvious vascular or anatomic connection
with the pancreas. Although the frequency of heterotopic pancreatic tissue in autopsy series has been reported as high as
14%, clinical manifestations are rare [2]. Although common in the upper gastrointestinal tract, heterotopic pancreatic tissue rarely causes gastrointestinal bleeding.
In a large case series following patients with heterotopic pancreatic tissue, only 7 of 212 patients had any evidence of bleeding
[3]. We present a patient who presented with massive hematochezia found to have a giant heterotopic pancreas in the duodenum. 相似文献

Background: Several authors have reported low prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection in patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB). Our aim was to study the prevalence of H. pylori in bleeding duodenal ulcer (DU), with both invasive and non-invasive methods, and to assess the role of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Methods: Ninety-two patients with bleeding DU were prospectively studied. The use of NSAIDs was evaluated by specific questionnaire. As a control group, 428 patients undergoing outpatient evaluation for the investigation of dyspepsia and found to have a DU at endoscopy were included. At endoscopy, two antral biopsies were obtained (H&E stain). A 13C-urea breath test was carried out in all patients. Breath test was repeated in patients treated with omeprazole during the hospitalization if H. pylori was not detected with the first test. Results: Gastric biopsies could be obtained in 39 patients with UGIB. Three patients with UGIB treated with omeprazole and being H. pylori negative with the first breath test were finally considered infected with the second test. Overall, 92.4% (95% CI, 85%-96%) of the patients with UGIB were infected (89.7% with histology and 92.4% with breath test (P = 0.15)). Concordance kappa value for both diagnostic tests was 0.64. NSAID intake was more frequent in patients with UGIB (34%) than in those without UGIB (5.6%) (P < 0.001), while H. pylori infection was less frequent in patients with UGIB (92.4% (85%-96%)) than in those without UGIB (99.1% (98%-100%); P < 0.001). Even in patients with UGIB, NSAID intake was the only risk factor in 5% of cases. The proportion of cases without H. pylori infection and without NSAID intake was very low in both bleeding and non-bleeding ulcers (2% and 0.5%, respectively; P = 0.146). H. pylori prevalence in bleeding ulcers was of 84% (67%-93%) in patients with NSAID intake, and 96.7% (89%-99%) when patients taking NSAIDs were excluded. In the multivariate analysis, NSAID intake (odds ratio, 9.8 (5.2-18.4)) correlated with UGIB; however, neither H. pylori status nor the interaction between H. pylori infection and NSAID intake correlated with UGIB. In the multivariate analysis in the subgroup of patients with UGIB, NSAID use was the only variable which correlated with H. pylori prevalence (odds ratio, 0.18 (0.03-0.97)). Conclusions: The most important factor associated with H. pylori-negative bleeding DU is NSAID use, and if this factor is excluded prevalence of infection is almost 100% (97%), similar to that found in patients with non-bleeding DU (and without NSAID intake). Bleeding DU patients with neither H. pylori infection nor NSAID use are extremely rare (only 2%), which suggests that the pathogenesis of bleeding DU is similar to that of non-complicated DU disease. 相似文献
