Objective: To determine the frequency of upper GI bleeding and its predicting factors and esophageal varices in the patientswith liver cirrhosis disease admitted at medicine ward of Isra university hospital. Design: Prospective and observational study. Setting:Isra university hospital. Period: March 2012 to August 2012 (six months). Methods: Containing 100 patients, mean age was 45.8, and allthe patients with cirrhosis disease were included in this study with liver cirrhosis disease. All patients were under went endoscopy andFrequency of upper GI bleeding and varices presentation and classification according to grade were noted. Results: All the 100 patientswere selected on the basis of presenting liver cirrhosis disease. Male were more found than the female with the mean age 45.8. Mostlycirrhotic patients were found with HCV positive and upper GI bleeding were noted in (40%) of the cases. With the endoscopic findingmostly patients were noted in ll - lll grad of esophageal varices and according to child pug classification majority of patients was noted inclass “C” In addition, thrombocytopenia and red wale markings along with the presence of large sized varices were associated with thepresence of esophageal varices. Conclusions: In the conclusion of this study we found majority of the cirrhotic patients with HCV,Esophageal varices and thrombocytopenia are the important factors of upper GI bleeding. Knowledge and etiology of this manuscript mayhelpful in the prevention of oesophageal varices and upper GI bleeding.

Acute upper GI bleeding is a common medical emergency with a hospital mortality of approximately10%. Non variceal UGI bleeding is the most common cause followed by oesophageal varices. Variousrare causes have been described in the literature but there are very few cases of giant left atriumleading to oesophageal erosion and causing upper GI bleeding. We are presenting a case of rheumaticvalvular heart disease with giant left atrium who presented in our department with acute upper GIbleeding. Keywords: giant left atrium;oesophgeal erosion; upper GI bleeding. | PubMed

Background: Upper gastrointestinal (UGI) endoscopy is a safe and sensitive investigation in the diagnosis of upper gastrointestinal diseases. There is limited study on paediatric upper GI endoscopy in our country. This study was done only in BSMMU, a tertiary care health facility of Bangladesh.Objectives: The aim of the study was to find out the indications, common endoscopic findings and immediate post procedure complication of UGI endoscopy in children.Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of 100 patients from August 2013 to October 2014. The indications for UGI endoscopy, common endoscopic findings and immediate post procedure complications were collected from case recording &were analyzed.Results: The commonest indication was upper GI bleeding in the form of hematemesis with or without melenae (41%). The most common finding was esophageal varices (49%). Less common findings were esophagitis, gastritis & gastro-duodenal ulcer. There was no post procedure complication.Conclusion: In the study, the commonest indication for Pediatric UGI endoscopy was upper GI bleeding and the commonest endoscopic abnormality was esophageal varices. No immediate post procedure complication was noted in the study.Bangladesh J Child Health 2016; VOL 40 (1) :17-20

INTRODUCTION Upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding in patients who undergo hip and knee arthroplasty tends to be associated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug use, steroid intake, pre-existing peptic ulcers and smoking. The use of aspirin for thromboprophylaxis is an added risk for the occurrence of GI bleed. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of upper GI bleeding and whether the use of peri-operative oral ranitidine reduces the incidence of upper GI bleeding when aspirin thromboprophylaxis is used for hip and knee arthroplasty. PATIENTS AND METHODS Data from 1491 and 886 patients who underwent hip and knee replacements at the James Cook University Hospital (group 1) and at Friarage Hospital, Northallerton (group 2), respectively, were analysed in retrospect. All patients received 150 mg of aspirin per day for a period of 6 weeks from the day of surgery. Additionally, patients operated at the Friarage Hospital received 300 mg of oral ranitidine per day, for three postoperative days. RESULTS We observed that patients in group 1 had a higher incidence of overt upper GI haemorrhage, which was statistically significant (P <0.014) compared to patients in group 2. CONCLUSIONS Based on this experience, we recommend the use of peri-operative gastric protection with ranitidine when aspirin is used for thromboprophylaxis in hip and knee arthroplasty.
