Clinical Gastroenterology: Esophageal and Gastric /Gastrointestinal Diseases

The Clinical Gastroenterology Journal aims to disseminate knowledge and promote discussion through the publication of peer-reviewed, high quality research papers on all topics related to Gastroenterology and Hepatology.

Oesophageal diseases:

Oesophageal diseases include a spectrum of disorders affecting the esophagus. gastroesophageal reflux disease, which in chronic forms is thought to result in changes to the epithelium of the esophagus, known as Barrett's esophagus.

Acute disease might include infections such as esophagitis, trauma caused by the ingestion of corrosive substances, or rupture of veins such as Oesophageal varices, Boerhaave syndrome or Mallory-Weiss tears.

Oesophageal disease may result in a sore throat, throwing up blood, difficulty swallowing or vomiting. Chronic or congenital diseases might be investigated using barium swallows, endoscopy and biopsy, whereas acute diseases such as reflux may be investigated and diagnosed based on symptoms and a medical history alone.

Gastric / Gastrointestinal Disease:

Gastric diseases refer to diseases affecting the stomach. Inflammation of the stomach by infection from any cause is called gastritis, and when including other parts of the gastrointestinal tract called gastroenteritis.

A number of different conditions or diseases can affect the GI tract and have an impact on digestion and/or our overall health.

Celiac disease:

Celiac disease is a serious autoimmune disorder where the small intestine is hypersensitive to gluten. Celiac disease can start at any age and symptoms include bloating, changes in bowel habit (either diarrhea or constipation), rashes, weight loss, and a poor growth rate in children.

Constipation:

Constipation is the term used to describe difficulty or infrequency in passing stools (feces). There are many different causes of constipation, such as dehydration, a lack of fiber in the diet, pregnancy, inactivity, or certain medications (such as antidepressants, iron supplements, or opioids). Laxatives can help relieve constipation and lifestyle changes can help prevent it from recurring.

Crohn’s Disease: Crohn’s disease is a chronic bowel disease that causes patches of inflammation in the GI tract anywhere between the mouth and the anus, although the area where the small intestine joins the large intestine is most commonly affected.
Symptoms may include diarrhea that persists for several weeks, abdominal pain and weight loss. Around 50% of people with Crohn’s disease notice blood or mucus in their feces and some may report an urgent need to move their bowels or a sensation of incomplete evacuation.

Diarrhea:

Symptoms of diarrhea include frequent, loose, watery stools (feces) which are usually accompanied by an urgent need to go to the toilet.

Diverticular disease: Diverticular disease is a chronic condition in which small pockets or out-pouching’s, called diverticula, occur in the bowel. Diverticula can become inflamed when undigested food gets trapped within them, causing pain and constipation, and sometimes fever, nausea, or cramping. This is called diverticulitis.

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD):

GERD is also known as heartburn or acid reflux. It occurs when the ring of muscle fibers that surrounds the entrance to our stomach (known as the lower esophageal sphincter) becomes weak, and instead of remaining tightly closed to prevent the backflow of food back up our esophagus, it remains partially open, allowing partly digested food and stomach acid to leak back up the esophagus, causing irritation.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS):

IBS is defined by the American College of Gastroenterology as "Abdominal discomfort associated with altered bowel habits".

Lactose intolerance:

People with lactose intolerance do not produce enough of the enzyme lactase, and find it difficult to digest lactose, which is a type of sugar found in cows’, goats’ and sheep milk.

Malabsorption syndromes:

Malabsorption syndromes refers to a number of different conditions in which the small intestine is unable to absorb nutrients, such as proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins or minerals.

Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD):

Peptic ulcer disease is an umbrella term used to describe both gastric and duodenal ulcers, which are small holes that can occur in the lining of your stomach (gastric ulcer) or upper part of your small intestine (duodenal ulcers).

Ulcerative colitis:

Ulcerative colitis affects only the innermost lining of the colon. Although the colon is the only part of the bowel affected, the whole of the colon is inflamed.

These are some of the different types of gastric and gastrointestinal diseases.
