The Behind the Headlines 2013's Top Five of Top Fives

Initial Trials With Susceptibility-Based and Empiric Anti-H. pylori Therapies in Mongolia
Conclusion: In Mongolia, the prevalence of H. pylori resistance is high requiring bismuth quadruple therapy or susceptibility-based therapy to obtain acceptable cure rates. Introduction As in most developing countries, the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection is high in Mongolia (Nyamdavaa, 2013) with reported prevalence ranging of 80% among adults (Matsuhisa et al., 2015; Khasag et al., 2018), 64% among adolescents, and 65 and 100% among pediatric patients with gastric comorbidity (Go, 2013).

Specific diagnostic investigation can be reserved for patients with severe dehydration, more severe illness, persistent fever, bloody stools or immunosuppression, and for cases of suspected nosocomial infection or outbreak and it includes complete blood count, creatinine and electrolytes, determination of leukocytes and lactoferrin precence in the stools, stool culture, together with ...

Intraepithelial Giardia Intestinalis: A Case Report and Literature Review
Abstract: The giardiasis is a neglected parasitic disease. The WHO has estimated more than 280 million of human infections each year; however, intraepithelial giardiasis is a rare entity, there are only 5 reports showing invasive giardiasis. A pediatric female patient with chronic abdominal pain, diarrhea, or pasty stools, without fever, was seen in the Gastroenterology and Nutrition Service. The stool studies were negative for pathogens and lactose hydrogen breath test was positive.

Nodular Lymphoid Hyperplasia of Duodenum Caused by Giardiasis
A 32-year-old man was referred to our unit for an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy because of dyspeptic symptoms unresponsive to empiric proton pump inhibitor therapy. His medical and family history was unremarkable, and alarm symptoms were absent. Physical examination of the patient was normal, except for being slightly overweight. Gastroduodenoscopy showed numerous polypoid lesions throughout the duodenum (), and multiple biopsies were obtained during the procedure. Laboratory investigations showed iron deficiency (Fe, 32 μg/dL; total iron binding capacity, 461 μg/dL; ferritin, 22 ng/mL) without significant anemia (hem...

Intestinal capillariasis in the 21 st century: clinical presentations and role of endoscopy and imaging
Conclusions: In endemic area, intestinal capillariasis should be considered if patients develop chronic watery diarrhea accompanied by significant weight loss and severe hypoalbuminemia. Stool examination had quite low sensitivities in making diagnosis in our study. Deep enteroscopy with biopsy guided by imaging or VCE may improve diagnostic yield. Empirical therapy may also be justifiable due to the very good response rate and less side effects.
