Abstract:
Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) is a systemic, generalized vasculitis. Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms occur in about 80% of patients. GI symptoms precede other manifestations in 14% of patients. Delay of diagnosis may lead to severe problems such as intestinal perforation. Therefore we need to know the characteristics of HSP in case of GI involvement. Although the second part of duodenum has been reported to be affected predominantly, our data demonstrate that total sites of small intestine are affected and the endoscopic findings of small intestine do not differ from other GI tract. Double balloon endoscopy (DBE) and capsule endoscopy (CE) have enabled to observe total sites of small intestine. We expect that DBE and CE will elucidate the endoscopic characteristics of GI tract in HSP in the future.

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.
Gastritis III: Clinical Manifestations and Management
Clinical manifestations of acute gastritis
The patient with acute gastritis may have a rapid onset of symptoms, such as epigastric pain or discomfort, dyspepsia, anorexia, hiccups, or nausea and vomiting, which can last from a few hours to a few days. Erosive or hemorrhagic gastritis may cause bleeding, which may manifest as blood in vomit or as...

An acute ulcer, marked by superficial erosion and minimal inflammation, swiftly resolves upon identifying and addressing the underlying cause. In contrast, a chronic ulcer persists, potentially eroding through the muscular wall and forming fibrous tissue.
