  Abstract The identification of the calcium ration by self-questionnaires validated in the region of Blida and the Wilayas of approximately is one of the rare studies in Algeria. She was interested in a part of the Algerian population with characteristics that do not seem very different from the general population; however, this dietary survey must be supplemented by a study on a representative sample of the general population. The study showed insufficient calcium intake mainly secondary to low consumption of milk and dairy products. This low calcium intake was objectified by the two questioning methods (Fardellone and CERIN), however, it will be desirable to establish Algerian self-questionnaires validated and verified by our learned society. The results obtained are worrying, which obliges us to immediately introduce a prevention and control strategy against the multiple pathologies linked to this low calcium intake, the main one being osteoporosis with its seri...

Lupine Publishers | Current Trends in Gastroenterology and Hepatology Abstract Over the past several decades, great progress has been made on understanding mechanisms of gastric acid secretion for developing new anti-acid drugs. Until now most commonly used anti-acid drugs are histamine-2 receptor antagonists and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) for patients to control acid related disease. However, several clinical limitations of these drugs had been reported. Recently, a new generation of potassium-competitive acid blockers (P-CABs) were launched for clinical use. It has been shown that these new drugs are more convenient and powerful to treat gastric acid-related diseases. In this article, we briefly reviewed the clinical use of this new anti-acid drug P-CAB. Keywords: Potassium-competitive Acid Blocker; Potassium channel; H+/K+-ATPase Introduction H+/K+-ATPase (or proton pump), which is expressed in gastric parietal cells, is one of the...

Description of Plasma Concentrations of Free Amino Acidswith Some Clinical Symptoms of Patients Under 5 withShort Bowel Syndrome by Luu Thi My Thuc in Current Trends in Gastroenterology and Hepatology in Lupine Publishers. Amino acid (AA) is the main component of proteins. Changes in levels of plasma AA concentration have been mentioned in some cases such as plasma AA concentrations in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients are low when inflammation status increases [1] or patients with short bowel syndrome (SBS) undergoing total parenteral nutrition (TPN) have decreasing concentrations of essential amino acids (EAA), increasing rate of malnutrition and complications while for those undergoing part of parenteral nutrition (PN), there was just a decrease in concentrations of two branched chain amino acids, leucin, valine, cysteine, and tyrosine [2]. Autistic children had significant lower plasma levels of leucine, isoleucine, phenylalanine, methionine, cysteine, serine, ty...

Reproductive Health and Fertility in Transition Clinic for Liver Transplant Patients by Uyen in Current Trends in Gastroenterology and Hepatology in Lupine Publishers. The transition of an adolescent into adulthood is fraught with complexity under the best of circumstances. Misinformation or a lack of medical knowledge during this critical time can place young adults in a position to develop risky behaviors. However, simple well-timed educational interventions can foster healthy, informed decisions which can last a lifetime. Adolescents who have undergone pediatric liver transplantation are a subgroup of teenagers at a particularly elevated risk, in part due to their immunosuppression and comorbid conditions, during this time of developing personal autonomy. As these patients begin to develop and establish their personal and reproductive identities, they may also have limited understanding of the long-term consequences of their decisions about reproductive health, contr...

The Role of Transabdominal Sonography in theDiagnostics of Choledocholithiasis: Compared toEndoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography by Kanan Yusif-zada KR in Current Trends in Gastroenterologyand Hepatology in Lupine Publishers Common bile duct stone (CBDS) or choledocholithiasis (ChL) is one of the major pathologies that lead to serious complications, and accurate and early diagnosis is very important. ChL diagnostics is based on clinical, laboratory and instrumental examinations. We used transabdominal songraphy (TAUS) for detecting CBDS and comparing it with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancretography (ERCP). https://lupinepublishers.com/gastroenterology-hepatology-journal/fulltext/the-role-of-transabdominal-sonography-in-the-diagnostics.ID.000124.php   https://lupinepublishers.com/gastroenterology-hepatology-journal/pdf/CTGH.MS.ID.000124.pdf   For more Lupine Publishers Open Access Journals Please visit our website:http://www.lupinepu...

Portal Hypertensive Gastric Polyps by Umadevi Malladi in Current Trends in Gastroenterologyand Hepatology in Lupine Publishers Portal hypertension is associated with an increased number of gastric polyps, hence the term portal hypertension-associated gastric polyps. Histopathological examination reveals mucosal hyperplasia and vascular proliferation. Formation may be due to mucosal injury that is vascular in nature. Their malignant potential has not been fully elucidated; however, lesions can grow to a large size. Patients with portal hypertension are at increased risk of post polypectomy bleeding and other complications of polypectomy. Surveillance is likely to be safer than multiple polypectomies, therefore in patients with portal hypertension it is essential that gastric polyps are photographed and biopsied during routine surveillance gastroscopies.  https://lupinepublishers.com/gastroenterology-hepatology-journal/fulltext/portal-hypertensive-gastric-polyps.ID.000...

Primary Liver Cancer in Adults by Mirta D Ambra in Current Trends in Gastroenterologyand Hepatology in Lupine publishers Liver cancer includes two main types: hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and intrahepatic bile duct cancer. Incidence and mortality. Calculation of the number of new cases and deaths due to liver and intrahepatic bile duct cancer in the United States in 2018: I. New cases: 42 220. II. Deaths: 30 200. HCC is relatively rare in the United States, although its incidence is increasing, especially in regard to the spread of infection with the hepatitis C virus (HCV). HCC is the most common solid tumor in the world and the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths. https://lupinepublishers.com/gastroenterology-hepatology-journal/fulltext/primary-liver-cancer-in-adults.ID.000122.php   https://lupinepublishers.com/gastroenterology-hepatology-journal/pdf/CTGH.MS.ID.000122.pdf   https://lupinepublishers.com/gastroenterology-hepatology-journal...

Eradication Failure of Helicobacter Pylori Among Children’s Population by Poul Minochkine in Current Trends in Gastroenterology and Hepatology in Lupine Publishers Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a Gram-negative bacterium responsible for the development of gastritis that may further progress to more severe conditions, peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer [1,2]. H. pylori have infected from 80% to 90% of the population in Russia [3]. Despite the ongoing discussion on which H. pylori infected patients should be treated up till full eradication of the infection, eradication depending on the prevalence of strains resistant to antibacterial preparations using for treatment [4]. Currently, the eradication of H. pylori is managed by the use of a triple therapy, involving the co-administration of two antibiotics and a proton pump inhibitor or bismuth during ten or fourteen days. https://lupinepublishers.com...

Asymptomatic Portal Cavernoma Revealing Activated Protein C Resistance by Salem Bouomrani in Current Trends in Gastroenterology and Hepatology in Lupine Publishers Introduction: Unlike the child, the portal cavernoma (PC) remains an exceptional and unusual complication of portal thrombosis in adults and the elderly. We report an original observation of asymptomatic PC secondary to chronic portal thrombosis revealing Factor V Leiden mutation in a young adult. Observation: A 27-year-old female with no significant pathological history was explored for thrombocytopenia found on a routine check-up. Radiological investigation concluded to the diagnosis of post-thrombotic PC with extra-hepatic portal hypertension. Systematic screening for acquired and inherited thrombophilia objectified activated protein C resistance, and genetic test confirmed the specific mutation of the coagulation factor V gene (Factor V Leiden). Under effective anticoagulation, the evolution was favorable. ...

Fungal Infections in Gastroenterology by Michael AB Naafs MD in Current Trends in Gastroenterology and Hepatology in Lupine Publishers Fungal infections are increasing in gastroenterology. Cirrhotic patients, liver transplantation recipients, and patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are vulnerable to these infections. The origin of these fungal infections is frequently the GI tract. The advent of sequencing technology can identify now previously unculturable fungi. Dysbiosis of the mycobiome and microbiome can uncheck normal commensal fungi and turn pathogenic by largely unknown mechanisms Resistance to antifungals is becoming a global problem. New antifungals are in development and they are badly needed. In this mini-review the enteric mycobiota and fungal infections in GI disease are discussed https://lupinepublishers.com/gastroenterology-hepatology-journal/fulltext/fungal-infections-in-gastroenterology.ID.000114.php ht...

Giant Colonic Lipomas: Diagnostic Accuracy, Case Series and A Review of the Literature by Akingboye AA in Current Trends in Gastroenterology and Hepatology in Lupine publishers Colonic lipomas (CL) are generally asymptomatic and are found incidentally during colonoscopy, colonography or surgery for other conditions. Symptoms often correlate with the size of the lipoma; lipomas larger than 4 cm in size become symptomatic in 75% of patients and they are described as Giant colonic lipoma (GCL). GCL may cause bleeding, obstruction, mimic large polyps, and can create a diagnostic dilemma. We review the clinical management of a series of four GCL patients. https://lupinepublishers.com/gastroenterology-hepatology-journal/fulltext/giant-colonic-lipomas-diagnostic-accuracy-case-series-and-a-review-of-the-literature.ID.000113.php  https://lupinepublishers.com/gastroenterology-hepatology-journal/pdf/CTGH.MS.ID.000113.pdf https://lupinepublishers.com/gastroent...
