Triphasic CECT abdomen showed features of cirrhosis with surface irregularities, fissural widening and volume redistribution changes in the liver. Segment VII of liver showed an arterial enhancing lesion measuring 4.2 x 3.5cm showing washout in delayed phase. In view of BCLC A stage with Child Pugh B7, ablation was planned. Before proceeding with ablation, in view of very high alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) level of 9836 ng/mL, he was advised for metastatic evaluation with 18F-FDG PET-CT. The PET scan showed abnormal heterogeneous increased FDG uptake in segment VII of liver (SUV Max 4.7) with arterial enhancement and washout suggestive of metabolically active hepatocellular carcinoma. Also seen was an abnormal linear increased FDG uptake in right branch of portal vein (SUV Max 4.8) which was suggestive of portal vein invasion. In view of portal vein tumor thrombus, ablation procedure was deferred for the patient. Role of PET scan in HCC with vascular invasion is not yet defined. Poor specificity of FDG PET is the major hindrance in establishing PET scan as diagnostic tool for vascular invasion. In small segment invasion when CECT is not able to differentiate between tumour versus bland thrombus PET scan may be significant tool to differentiate between bland thrombus and tumour thrombus. Vascular invasion confirmation have treatment related and prognostic significance. There is a need for a prospective study evaluating the prognostic significance of PET scan based diagnosis of vascular invasion.","PeriodicalId":363979,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Gastroenterology & Hepatology Reports","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115484885","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}

Their co-infections and associated risk factors have been postulated in many countries, unfortunately, no such data exist in Cameroon. This study aims to determine the prevalence and possible predictors of HCV among DM patients. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study among DM patients at Regional Hospital Bamenda from February to June 2020. Blood samples were collected and tested for the presence of HCV. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 23. Results: The study comprised 193 participants. The mean (Std. error) age and random blood sugar level of the participants were 46.12(0.9) years and 134.15(4.07) g/dl respectively. HCV prevalence was 3.11% (6). The distribution of HCV infection did not show any significant difference with social demographic factors (p > 0.05). Similarly, HCV was insignificantly (p > 0.05) higher in patients with T2DM 6(3.4%), those with disease duration >5 years 4(4.4%), and those receiving injectable drugs 2(9.1%). Possible predictors (p<0.05) of HCV identified in this study include; uncontrolled diabetes (7.4%), family history of diabetes (19.2%), hepatitis 2(15.4%), alcohol intake (7.6%), multiple sex partners (6.5%), sharing sharp objects (9.1%), those with Tattoos (9.4%), scarification marks (3.6%), as well as those who have been hospitalized (6.7%), or received blood transfusion (25.0%) at least once. Conclusion: HCV testing and linkage to care among DM patients should be made imperative in order to design effective treatment and prevention programs that will reduce the morbidity and mortality rates.","PeriodicalId":363979,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Gastroenterology & Hepatology Reports","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127148105","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}

There is little data regarding its prevalence, pattern, associated factors and impact on the quality of life in African countries. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence, pattern, quality of life and factors associated with GERD among outpatients in the city of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania. Methods: Between 01 June 2013 and 31 July 2013, a total of 1062 adults aged 18 years and above were recruited into this cross-sectional study and completed Swahili-language self-administered questionnaires. The Frequency Scale for the Symptoms of GERD questionnaire was used as a diagnostic tool for GERD and quality of life was assessed using the Quality of Life in Reflux and Dyspepsia (QOLRAD) questionnaire. Results: The mean age ± standard deviation of the study participants was 46.0±19.5years and 60.5% were females. The prevalence of GERD was 31.5% and was higher among females compared to males (p = 0.001). The quality of life in patients with GERD was lower in all five domains of the QOLRAD questionnaire. About two thirds (59.7%) of patients with GERD had previously sought medical advice and 59.6% had used medications for their GERD symptoms. Conclusions: The prevalence of GERD was high in this patient population and was significantly higher among females compared to men. Participants with GERD demonstrated significant impairment in the quality of life.","PeriodicalId":363979,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Gastroenterology & Hepatology Reports","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130139921","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}

Current publications are based on large databases collected from hospitals with different characteristics which may not apply to all centres since the impact of SARS-CoV-2 varies depending on the incidence in each area. We studied the incidence of perioperative SARS-CoV-2 infection in surgical patients. Methods: We performed an observational, retrospective cohort study in patients undergoing surgery between March 16th to May 15th 2020. Results: Four patients (5.4%) tested positive with SARS-CoV-2, all positive results were obtained postoperatively. SARS-CoV-2 status was known at the time of surgery in 23 (60%) patients in emergency surgery and 20 patients (57%) in elective surgery. Mortality rate was 13% in emergency surgery with no cases due to SARS-CoV-2 related complications. Nine patients (25.7%) had changes in their management in elective surgery, no deaths were reported and one patient developed SARS-CoV-2 bilateral pneumonia. Discussion: Our results show that SARS-CoV-2 infection among surgical patients was low in our centre. Changes in policies on surgical activity during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic should be taken at a regional or hospital level to reflect the local burden of SARS-CoV-2 and availability of resources.","PeriodicalId":363979,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Gastroenterology & Hepatology Reports","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126640002","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}
