Helicobactor pylori infection has been associated with peptic ulcer disease and is currently treated with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), which have reduced the complications of the disease. Perforation of either a gastric or duodenal ulcer is rarely treated with surgery. We report the case of double-perforated synchronous duodenal ulcers, which is an extremely infrequent condition. To our knowledge, no English case reports have yet been published. Therefore, awareness of the physician in the field of diagnosis and treatment of this peptic ulcer is required. We report the case of a 46-year-old male patient who presented with acute abdominal pain at the emergency surgical department of our hospital. According to patient history, smoking, alcohol consumption, and frequent postprandial abdominal pain were noted. A physical examination revealed a rigid abdomen and tachycardia, and the temperature was 37.8°C. Laboratory testing showed increased levels of leukocytes, and free subdiaphragmatic air was found in the chest X-ray. Due to rapid deterioration of his clinical condition, the patient underwent urgent surgery. An explorative laparotomy showed 2 perforated kissing ulcers at the first segment of the duodenum, in the anterior and posterior walls. A peripheral gastrectomy was performed. Postoperative follow-up did not result in any complications. In regard to this case we present, simultaneous perforation of two synchronous duodenal ulcers is an uncommon but possible incident of which the clinician should be aware. To our knowledge, this is the first case published in the literature.

Background: To establish the occurrence of peptic ulcer disease amid the Subjects with abdominal pain at tertiary care institute of Gujarat. Subjects and Methods: present research was performed at the Department of Surgery, tertiary care institute of Gujarat, for the period of one year in 200 patients with abdominal pain and diagnosed with peptic ulcer disease. Information was composed utilizing pre-designed questionnaire. Results:The majorities of participants was females, most were aged between 18 to 25 years. Around 97% had pain in the epigastric region. Gastric ulcers preponderate for 65% patients in current research, except refused during the later existence of the epoch, as the occurrence of duodenal ulcers stayed stable, however amplified rather the later phase. Conclusion: An extensive diversity of subjects with abdominal pain was documented amid the subjects. On the other hand, the socio-economic situation and educational levels of the Subjects with the illness were below par.

Objectives: The aim of study is to evaluate the efficacy, tolerability and adverse effects of a standard triple therapy including Rabeprazole, Clarithromycin and Amoxicilline at Sai gon Hoan My hospital in order to consider treatment H.pylori for patients who have not yet eradicated before or need to be undertaked by alternative regimens. Methods: By descriptive cross-sectional study, the authors have examined 116 patients sufferring from peptic ulcer received 10-day therapy including Rabe (20mg b.d) plus Clari(500mg b.d) plus Amoxi(1g b.d). Eradication is confirmed with endoscopy after 4 weeks from completing of treatment. Results and Discussion: 100% of patients were initially included and noboby was dropped out of the follow-up satges. The mean age was 49 in which 62% was male, 73(62,9%) presented duodenal ulcer, 28(24,1%) gastric ulcer and 15(13%) simultaneous gastric and duodenal ulcers. All patients took medications correctly. Per-protocol and intention to treat eradication rates were both 75%(95% CI=73,4-78,3). Additionally, 62(53,4%) patients had at least one risky factor for peptic ulcer disease, smoking being the most common one 44(37,9%).The adverse effects were reported overall in 67% of the patients, mainly including changed taste, very bitter, tired 49%, trouble sleeping 12% and diarrhea 5%. Conclusion: this ten-day standard triple therapy used in this study is ineffective with high adverse effects.The first line eradication with new regimens should be alternative.

Many etiological hypotheses have been suggested to explain the development of peptic ulcers during the last 300 years (including gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer). In the last two decades, significant progress has been made in understanding the pathophysiology of peptic ulcer disease, particularly with regard to the involvement of Helicobacter pylori and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs). This study will attempt to review literature on etiology and management of gastric and duodenal ulcers among adolescents.

Abstract Background Acute abdominal pain in nephrotic syndrome (NS) is a well-known clinical symptom and is mainly related to peritonitis. The presence, although rare, of red umbilicus may guide the diagnosis as a suggestive sign of peritonitis also in the non-neonatal period. Instead, the association between intussusception and NS is quite limited. We reviewed all published cases in the literature, and to our knowledge, this is one of the few pediatric cases of spontaneous resolution of intussusception in the setting of NS. Finally, a review of the causes of abdominal pain during the course of NS was made. Cases presentation We report two pediatric patient cases who complained of acute abdominal pain during a relapse episode of their NS. The first case is a 4-year-old boy with NS (fourth relapse) who presented with acute abdominal pain, ascites, and red umbilicus. Our suspect of primary peritonitis was clinically confirmed because of the subsequent appearance of the classical peritoneal signs. The second case is a 4-year-old boy who developed an ileo-ileal intussusception during the treatment of his first NS relapse, with spontaneous reduction. Conclusions Gastrointestinal disorders are frequently encountered in the course of NS. The appearance of acute abdominal pain in children with NS requires quick management, both clinical and instrumental. A multidisciplinary team approach needs to be encouraged to lead to an accurate diagnosis and a correct treatment.

Herpes Simplex Virus 2

We report a rare case of disseminated herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection in an extremely preterm neonate. Herpes Simplex Virus-2 (HSV-2) is the leading cause of genital ulcer disease in adults and is the most common cause of neonatal herpes, a rare infection associated with long-term neurologic impairment and high mortality. HSV-2 can be transmitted perinatally via direct mucosal or skin contact. Most neonates are infected intrapartum. However, intrauterine transmission does occur, though rarely. The pattern of dissemination described in our patient differs from previous case reports. Most reports indicate that intrauterine HSV infections have a typical triad of cutaneous manifestations, ophthalmologic findings, and neurologic involvement. However, we report the first case of intrauterine disseminated HSV infection in the heart.

Initial Symptoms

The records of all children with peptic ulcer disease at the Hospital for Sick Children were retrospectively evaluated, excluding neonates, throughout a 5-year period. Only cases with a definite ulcer crater identified either at endoscopy or at surgery were included. There were 36 patients, 20 boys and 16 girls. Duodenal ulcers were more common than gastric ulcers (2.8:1). Ages ranged from 3 months to 17 years, with a mean age of 10 years. Patients were reviewed with respect to etiology of peptic ulcer disease, age when first examined, initial symptoms, and clinical course. Patients were divided into two groups, those with primary (n = 19) and those with secondary (n = 17) peptic ulcer disease. All peptic ulcers in patients younger than 10 years of age were secondary in nature. Secondary ulcers occurred generally in association with a severe underlying illness (11/17), and many ulcers necessitated emergency surgery because of perforation and/or severe hemorrhage (8/17). None of these patients had chronic or recurrent symptoms. In contrast, in children with primary peptic ulcer disease, initial symptoms were more benign. Most patients had abdominal pain and only one required emergency surgery. Children with primary duodenal ulcer disease had a high incidence of recurrent symptoms (67%), however, with surgery for intractable disease necessitated in 40%. Single-contrast barium meals were found to be unreliable in establishing a diagnosis of peptic ulcer disease, particularly cases of gastric ulcer disease.
