Abstract:
Present status and problems in diagnostic procedure combination (DPC) for treatment of gastric cancer are reviewed in this article. DPC for gastric malignancies are subgrouped by the presence or absence of operation, operative procedures and adjuvant treatment such as intensive care, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. In a comparison between prospective payment and medical cost invested, most investments can be recovered by DPC in patients who underwent mucosal resection or gastrectomy without major complications. However, in patients with postoperative complications who required intensive treatment,considerable investments can not be recovered by DPC. In patients given chemotherapy, most of the investments in conventional chemotherapy can be recovered by current DPC. The clinical pathway appears to be a useful tool to control homogeneously well-qualified investments in DPC.

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
Peptic Ulcer Disease III: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies
Few clinical manifestations differentiate gastric ulcers from duodenal ulcers. Distinctions in the location, timing, and pain relief are crucial for healthcare providers in differentiating between gastric and duodenal ulcers during clinical assessments.

Radionuclide Testing
Radionuclide testing is a sophisticated medical technique for assessing gastrointestinal motility. It focuses on gastric emptying and colonic transit time. Radioactive markers track the movement of food through the digestive system, providing insights into gastrointestinal disorders.
