RESUMO

Esophageal perforation is a rare yet very serious condition, which usually needs surgical repair. In spite of its rarity, esophageal perforation could become extremely dangerous and even life-threatening. Therefore it needs immediate surgical intervention. The first symptom to appear is pain. Perforation in the middle and lower third of the esophagus might as well cause difficulty in swallowing, dyspnea, and chest pain. A 61-year-old man presented to the Emergency Room due to sensation of a foreign body and epigastric pain after meal for which he underwent upper endoscopy. The foreign body was seen in the lower third of the esophagus. Considering the bilateral penetration of the sharp foreign body to the esophageal wall, no effort was made to bring the foreign body out. The patient underwent computed tomography [CT] without contrast, which showed right posterolateral mediastinal air leakage and slight pleural effusion in the right hemithorax. As recommended by thoracic surgeon, instead of thoracotomy, the foreign body was brought out in the operating room by endoscopy [under preparation in order to convert the procedure to thoracotomy if needed]. After the procedure, a CT with oral contrast was done, which showed free air and leakage of contrast to the right posterolateral hemithorax as well as an increase in the pleural effusion. Normal saline was immediately injected to both sides of the perforation site by endoscopy in order to prevent further leakage. The patient was observed by both surgery and gastroenterology teams for a week to undergo thoracotomy in case he develops mediastinitis. After a week, he underwent Gastrografin swallow and then Barium swallow. The patient was discharged from the hospital because no evidence of remaining perforation or any microperforations were seen. Esophageal perforation is a surgical emergency usually happening due to diagnostic and pass through esophagous to go to the therapeutic actions. Most swallowed foreign bodies stomach, but sharp objects may cause perforation in esophagus. Foreign bodies mostly get trapped in the physiologic constrictions. Dysphagia and odynophagia are subcutanneous common symptoms of foreign body invasion in to the esophagous. Emphysema is a diagnostic key for the matter of esophageal perforation. Treatment for such condition differs among various patients

RESUMO

Reliable non-invasive methods for detection of Helicobacter pylori [H. pylori] infection are required to investigate the incidence, transmission, and clearance of infection in childhood. Detecting bacterial antigens in stool offer an alternative noninvasive diagnostic test. However its accuracy in developing countries is not well established. The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of stool antigen test for H pylori in Iranian children with recurrent abdominal pain necessitating endoscopy. One hundred three children enrolled in this study. Endoscopy and biopsy was done on all patients providing a criterion standard for validation of the H. pylori stool antigen [HpSA] tests. The presence of H. pylori organisms in stool was determined by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using a commercially available polyclonal antibody. HpSA sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative likelihood ratios were determined with reference to the results of cultures of gastric biopsy. Of the 103 children tested 41 [39.8%] and 39 [37.8%] were positive for H. pylori according to the results of cultures of gastric biopsy and HpSA, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative likelihood ratios of HpSA were found to be 85%, 93%, 89.7%, and 90%, respectively. In this pilot study, a low-cost and rapid diagnostic technique, stool antigen test proved to be highly sensitive and specific for detecting H pylori infection in children with recurrent abdominal pain. Our results are comparable to those reported elsewhere in children and demonstrate that the HpSA test can replace endoscopy and biopsy for detecting H. pylori infection

RESUMO

Celiac sprue [gluten sensitive enteropathy] is an autoimmune disease which is hereditary and its pathology mainly bases on immunologic intolerance to gluten. It has a vast variety of signs and symptoms and its clinical features range from a silent disease to a typical gastrointestinal disorder. In this study we reviewed and summarized some other related issues about this disease and its relation with infertility. Case: The case is a 26 years old lady who had referred to a gynecologist because of infertility for 2 years and later it revealed that she has celiac sprue. Screening for its silent or subtle types especially among suspicious cases such as unexplained infertility seems to be a cost effective action. Meanwhile, in time administration of a gluten-free diet can lead to an almost complete cure
