Patients most frequently complain that food “sticks” in the retrosternal area or simply will “not go down.” Patients may complain of a feeling of choking and chest discomfort. In some cases food material is rapidly regur gitated to relieve symptoms. Dysphagia can be divided into two types: • oropharyngeal dysphagia, where there is an inability to initiate the swallowing process and may involve disor ders of striated muscle. There may be a sensation of solids or liquids left in the pharynx. • esophageal dysphagia, which involves disorders of the smooth muscle of the esophagus and results in symp toms within seconds of the Initiation of swallowing. Odynophagia is the sensation of pain on swallowing which is usually felt in the chest or throat. Globus is the sensation of a lump, fullness or tightness in the throat.","PeriodicalId":363545,"journal":{"name":"Algorithms in Differential Diagnosis","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134322095","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}

Sometimes GI bleeding is easy to detect as there are obvious clinical signs, such as hematemesis, melena or hematemesis (overt GI bleeding). Other times animals with GI blood loss do not have overt signs and may present because of anemia; these cases are more challenging to diagnose. If the cause of bleeding can be determined with conventional endoscopy these cases are said to have obscure GI bleeding. If the cause cannot be found during endoscopy these cases are said to have occult GI bleeding. This lecture mainly focuses on how to approach a case with GI bleeding but also discusses treatment for GI ulceration, which is its most common cause.","PeriodicalId":363545,"journal":{"name":"Algorithms in Differential Diagnosis","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128434032","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}
