There is continuing controversy over whether endoscopy or barium meal should be performed for examination of the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract [1]. For gastroesophageal reflux disease, the barium swallow study is the preferred initial examination and often the only investigation required [2,3]. Barium swallow better detects motor abnormalities [2],

Upper-gastrointestinal tract hemorrhage.
JAMA, 1970Upper-gastrointestinal tract hemorrhage is a terrifying experience for the patient and an urgent challenge to the physician. Despite the best treatment and the widespread use of whole blood, patients with upper-gastrointestinal tract hemorrhage continue to have mortality of more than 10%.1-3The outlook is even more distressing in elderly patients and ...

Chapter 7 discusses the upper gastrointestinal tract, and addresses the technical challenges of these cancersin relation to tumour volumes, anatomical situation, and poor normal tissue tolerance, particularly of the intra-abdominal contents. More contemporaneous treatment techniques such as intensity-modulated radiotherapy and stereotactic ablative ...

X-ray examination of the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract by computed radiography (CR) is effective with the use of the double-contrast method, by which fine mucosal patterns can be clearly visualized. In particular, the effects of the wide latitude and image processing of CR facilitate simple recognition of lesions upon double-contrast radiography of

Upper gastrointestinal tract disorders
2016This chapter focuses on upper gastrointestinal tract disorders. The commonly experienced symptoms of heartburn, acid regurgitation, and indigestion (dyspepsia) arise from disturbances of acid secretion in the stomach and the consequent damage to the mucosal lining of the oesophagus, stomach, or duodenum.

Upper gastrointestinal tract dysfunction in bulimia
Digestive Diseases and Sciences, 1988Bulimia nervosa is a health problem of increasing magnitude that is estimated to affect 2-5% of the American adolescent and young adult female population. Because of the magnitude of this clinical problem and because of the importance of the upper gastrointestinal tract in its expression, a intradepartmental program of health care for patients affected

Gastrointestinal bleeding--upper gastrointestinal tract.
Scandinavian journal of gastroenterology. Supplement, 1984There has been growing confidence in the ability of therapeutic endoscopy to control bleeding from the upper gastrointestinal tract. This chapter attempts to review the recently published data on this topic, concentrating on sclerotherapy for variceal bleeding, laser photocoagulation and electrocoagulation for bleeding peptic ulcers, with particular ...

Upper Gastrointestinal Tract Bleeding
Archives of Internal Medicine, 1981• The mortality from upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract bleeding has remained constant at 10% during the past 40 years. Many drugs may precipitate upper GI tract bleeding by disrupting the gastric mucosal barrier. Aspirin-induced injury to the gastric mucosa and GI tract bleeding have been documented in many studies; some of the mechanisms involved are ...

The Upper Gastrointestinal Tract
1984The oesophagus is a muscular tube which connects the mouth to the stomach. It starts in the neck at the lower part of the pharynx where it lies behind the trachea and in front of the cervical vertebrae. Throughout the thorax the oesophagus remains applied to the vertebral column posteriorly, whilst anteriorly, it is related to the trachea in its upper ...
