Background and Aim: Following successful endoscopic therapy in patients with peptic ulcer bleeding, rebleeding occurs in 20% of patients. Rebleeding remains the most important determinant of poor prognosis. We investigated whether or not administration of pantoprazole infusion would improve the outcome in ulcer bleeding following successful endoscopic therapy.

Background and Aims: After successful endoscopic hemostasis in bleeding peptic ulcer, addition of proton pump inhibitors reduce the rate of recurrent bleeding by maintaining intragastric pH at neutral level. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of various proton pump inhibitors given through different routes on intragastric pH over 72 h after endoscopic hemostasis in bleeding peptic ulcer.

Background and Aim: Nocturnal gastro‐esophageal reflux causes heartburn and sleep disturbances impairing quality of life. Lifestyle modifications, like bed head elevation during sleep, are thought to alleviate the symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux. We tested the hypothesis that bed head elevation might decrease recumbent acid exposure compared to sleeping in a flat bed.

Epidemiology of Helicobacter pylori infection has regional variation. Effect of eradication of H. pylori on symptoms of functional dyspepsia is uncertain, and the data in Asian scenario are scanty. The study aimed to see H. pylori positivity rate in patients of functional dyspepsia and the effect of its eradication on symptoms.

Bile leak and residual stones are well known complications of biliary tract surgery. In endemic areas of ascariasis, invasion of the biliary tract by roundworms during the early postoperative period is an infrequent but serious complication. The present study describes the endoscopic management of postoperative biliary ascariasis in 19 consecutive patients. There were 5 men and 14 women with a mean age of 33.3 ± 6.3 years. All patients had undergone cholecystectomy, with choledocholithotomy and placement of a T-tube in 13 (68.4%) patients. Eight (42.1%) patients including two with T-tubes were acutely sick at referral. Altogether, 16 (84.2%) patients had widened papillae due to previous endoscopic sphincterotomy (3 patients) or recent dilatation of the sphincter of Oddi by Bake’s dilators (13 patients). All patients with a T-tube in situ had undergone unsuccessful attempts to remove the worms by flushing saline through the T-tube. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography was performed 4 to 16 days after biliary tract surgery and revealed roundworms in the common bile duct in 10 patients, in the hepatic ducts in 2, or in both ducts in 7. Three patients had coexisting biliary leakage: from the cystic duct stump in two and from a T-tube track in one. Endoscopic treatment consisted of extracting the worms from the biliary tree and placing stents in those with coexisting leakage. Endoscopic success was defined as complete worm extraction and resolution of biliary leakage and was achieved in all patients. Complications occurred in one (5.3%) patient. We concluded that endoscopic management is an effective, safe approach for extracting ascarids from the biliary tree during the early postoperative period. It reduces the hospital stay, avoids T-tube-related complications, and permits a postoperative complication to be treated using a nonsurgical method.

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of potassium sources, levels and tillage practice on wheat phenology, weeds density, fresh and dry weight at New Developmental Farm, The University of Agriculture Peshawar during Rabi 2012. Randomized Complete Block (RCB) design with split plot arrangement having three replications was used. Tillage practices (chisel plough, mould board plough and rotavator) were allotted to main plots while K sources (Sulphate of Potash-SOP and Muriate of Potash-MOP) with levels (30, 60, 90, and 120 kg ha) were applied to sub plots. Among different tillage systems, rotavator has significantly increased weed density (54 weeds m), weeds fresh weight (98 gm) and dry weight (65 gm) as compared to mould board and chisel plough. SOP has significantly delayed anthesis(138 days), grain fill duration (29 days) and physiological maturity (167 days) were taken by subplots which received K in the form of sulphate of potash (SOP). While in case of potassium levels maximum days to anthesis (140), grain fill duration (29) and physiological maturity (168) were counted for K applied at the rate of 120 kg ha. Control plot had resulted minimum values for all aforesaid parameters. It is concluded from the experiment that rotavatorhad increased weeds density, fresh and dry weight. However, on the other hand chisel plough had significantly reduced weed density, fresh and dry weight. It is therefore, chisel plough and SOP at the rate of 60 kg ha is recommended to control weeds and delay wheat phenology.

Introduction: Lower gastrointestinal bleeding (LGIB) is one of the leading causes for hospital admissions in gastroenterology wards all over the world. Patients usually present with hematochezia or bloody diarrhea. Colonoscopy is usually the initial diagnostic intervention followed by other more sophisticated tests. Bleeding may stop spontaneously, but evaluation is important because patients may harbor a sinister lesion like cancer. Aim of the Study: To determine the various etiologies, clinical presentations, a diagnostic test used and treatments received by LGIB patients admitted in our department. Materials and Methods: A total of 300 cases were studied which included 180 retrospective cases and 120 prospective cases. For retrospective cases, all the information was obtained by analyzing their case records while as prospective patients were managed as per a predefined protocol and details of various investigations and treatments documented. Results: Most commonly affected was elderly population (>60 years), constituting 40% (120/300) of studied population. Males constituted 59% (177/300) and females 41% (123/300). The most common clinical presentation of LGIB in our patients was hematochezia (63.6%, 191/300). Growth/polyp was the most common finding on colonoscopic examination seen in 29.3% ( n = 88) patients. Inflammatory lesions were seen in 77 out of 239 (25.7%) patients. Wireless capsule endoscopy was positive in 13 out of 24 patients (54%). Computed tomography (CT) enterography showed positive results in 6 out of 25 (24%) cases. Red blood cell scan was done in seven patients while as CT angiography in in four patients. Therapeutic endoscopy was successful in 115 out of 239 patients with positive colonoscopy, polypectomy was the commonest procedure performed. Medical management was carried out in 34.6% patients. Surgical treatment was offered to 21% patients. Conclusion: Colonoscopy is the initial and most common investigation used in the evaluation of GI bleed. A polyp is the most common diagnosis while as polypectomy the most common therapeutic procedure.
