Abstract Lung cancer is a malignant neoplasm that is frequently associated with distant metastasis. However, gastrointestinal tract is a rare location for lung cancer metastasis. Herein, we presented a case of a 72-year-old man, who was admitted for chest pain and with radiological evidence of lung cancer with distant metastases and a suspected localization in the right colon. On colonoscopy visual impression showed two yellowish and ulcerative lesions, one in the ascending colon and the other in the transverse colon, which were biopsied. Both were consistent on pathological report with colonic metastases. According to advanced stage of neoplasm (stage IV), patient underwent palliative chemotherapy.

Abstract Abdominal bloating is a very common and troublesome symptom of all ages, but it has not been fully understood to date. Bloating is usually associated with functional gastrointestinal disorders or organic diseases, but it may also appear with no specific reasons. Studies have revealed that 15–30% of the general United States (US) population experiences bloating symptoms, compared with about 15% reported in an Asian population. Tummy bloating every day, unless you have eaten too much or are menstruating, is not okay, and it amounts to a gut disorder. The pathophysiology of bloating remains ambiguous, although some evidence supports the potential mechanisms, like gut hypersensitivity, impaired gas handling, altered gut microbiota, and abnormal abdominal-phrenic reflexes have been put forth. No treatment is of unequivocally beneficial to all. Dietary intervention is important in relieving symptom in patients with bloating. Medical treatment with some prokinetics, rifaximin, lubipr...

Abstract Background : Liver cancer is the third leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary liver tumour. The aim of our study was to evaluate the epidemiological, diagnostic, therapeutic and outcome aspects of HCC. Materials and methods : We conducted a bicentric, retrospective, descriptive and analytical study over 19 months from January 1, 2018 to July 31, 2019 in the department of gastroenterology and hepatology of hospital Aristide le Dantec (Dakar, Senegal) and at the Marie Louise BREVIE clinic at the hospital Principal of Dakar (Dakar, Senegal). We included all patients with a diagnosis of HCC. Results : We include 104 patients, 89 were men (85.6%). The mean age was 46.7 years [18-78 years]. The most frequent clinical signs were abdominal pain (95.2%). AFP levels were elevated in 77.88 % of cases. The CT scan revealed a wash-in-wash-out appearance in 100 cases (96.1%). Histology revealed HCC in 5 cases (4.8%). HCC devel...

Abstract   A 55-year-old man with 25 years history of chronic inactive hepatitis B presented to the hospital due to widespread purpura started 15 days after 2nd dose of Pfizer vaccine for COVID-19. IgA vasculitis is a type of autoimmune disease that causes palpable purpura in the lower limbs, as well as stomach pain, arthralgia, and renal diseases. He was released with oral prednisolone after being diagnosed with an acute a leukocytoclastic asculitis. leukocytoclastic vasculitis is an uncommon but increasingly recognized side effect following COVID-19 vaccination.

Abstract Introduction: Nevascularization develops around the HCC and malignant tumours of liver in basket form. This leads to increased blood supply via hepatic artery. We have tried to do quantification of hepatic artery, basket vessels and feeding vessels wherever it is found. We have accumulated data of liver tumours (malignant) from 2013 to sep.2021 from our colour Doppler centre. Our centre is located in Punjab province of Pakistan. Here prevalence of hepatitis C in 6.5% which is very high [1]. China has the highest burden of HCV infection cases. Pakistan has the second highest burden of HCV positive cases [2] This is a retrospective study. Objective: The purpose of this study was to establish the peak systolic velocity of hepatic artery of hepatis malignant lesion which are found hepatitis c and hepatitis B related complication. Materials and Method: Study comprises of 120 patients with almost equal females & males of age 40 to 70 years. It began in April 2013 and continue...
