Inflammation caused by helicobacter pylori differs depending on the virulence factors, density and host tissue response of the bacteria. This study is intended to investigate the relation between density of helicobacter pylori colonization in gastric mucosa in biopsy specimens and gastric mucosal inflammation severity. Materials and methods: Our study included 685 patients who applied to the hospital with dyspeptic complaints and had gastroscopy between the dates of January the 1st 2017 and January the 1st 2018. Histopathologic results of endoscopic biopsy specimens of these patients were retrospectively screened. Inflammatory severity and helicobacter pylori intensity were assessed by Sydney scoring. Results: 68.6% of the patients were infected with Helicobacter pylori. As the intensity of inflammation increased, the intensity of Helicobacter pylori increased as well. The relation between the intensity of Helicobacter pylori and the severity of inflammation was statistically significant (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Helicobacter pylori infection increases gastric inflammation.","PeriodicalId":346614,"journal":{"name":"International Archives of Internal Medicine","volume":"115 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124569470","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Skin diseases can significantly impact not only a patient’s physical appearance, but also their social and emotional well-being. Even the smallest skin lesions have been shown to disrupt a person’s level of overall wellness. Here, we aim to address the potential psychological and emotional impact of the most common and debilitating dermatologic conditions. We describe how skin disorders affect individuals and subsequently, how they are perceived by society. In addition, we review several dermatologic conditions that are not only skin-related, but are also linked to disorders of internal organs. Lastly, we weigh the importance of skin health and how clear skin not only increases an individual’s satisfaction and quality of life, but also impacts their ability to reach their full potential.","PeriodicalId":346614,"journal":{"name":"International Archives of Internal Medicine","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133735717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In many cases, the diagnosis can be made promptly, but patients with rare, complex, or unusual conditions often embark on odysseys spanning years to sometimes even decades in search of a diagnosis. This prolonged process can often result in excessive costs, preventable medical errors and iatrogenesis, as well as feelings of frustration, abandonment and isolation. To address these issues and facilitate discussion, a shared conceptual framework and vocabulary are needed. Here we propose a framework that partitions a patient’s diagnostic journey into three distinct phases related to navigation within the healthcare system: The primary encounter, an initial round of referrals, and subsequent evaluations and second opinions. The three phases of the diagnostic journey are interconnected, and each can be further studied and optimized.","PeriodicalId":346614,"journal":{"name":"International Archives of Internal Medicine","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128973045","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article, we present five cases of acute appendagitis that have had nearly similar symptoms at presentation and while we were suspecting more severe diseases on their admission at emergency department (ER). The five patients received only medical treatment for their conditions and were discharged home the same day to be reviewed few weeks later and showed complete resolution of the appendagitis on follow up imaging.","PeriodicalId":346614,"journal":{"name":"International Archives of Internal Medicine","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129612273","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, some patients have medical treatment resistance. The definition of resistant renal hyperparathyroidism despite intake of calcimimetic, parathormon binding and vitamin D analogs persistent parathormone elevation and related symptoms. The only treatment for resistant renal hyperparathyroidism is surgery. This study was designed to investigate the indications for operation of patients with parathyroidectomy due to resistant renal hyperparathyroidism. Materials and methods: Nineteen patients over 18 years of age who underwent hemodialysis due to end stage renal failure and who underwent parathyroidectomy due to secondary and tertiary hyperparathyroidism were included in the study. Patients preand post-operative and most recent calcium, phosphorus, parathormon values, operative patterns, pathology reports were recorded. Clinical results of parathyroidectomy were discussed. Results: The study was designed with 19 patients. Eleven of the patients were female (57.9%), 8 were male (42.1%) and the mean age was 44 ± 19 (18-91) years.

Its prognosis is traditionally very poor, with 5-year survival rates reported as low as 11%. Risk factors for cutaneous angiosarcoma have not been clearly established. Herein, we describe a 64-yearold male with a chronic history of psoriasis maintained on methotrexate and infliximab for over 10 years, who presented with a 7-week history of a cluster of reddish-blue, violaceous nodules on his occipital scalp. Biopsy showed classic features of angiosarcoma. He was treated with multimodal therapy.
