[Iatrogenic instrumental injuries to the gastrointestinal tract]
Abstract:
Clinical-anatomical correlations are drawn for 155 cases of esophageal injuries related to instrumental investigations. These injuries involved a lethal outcome in 21% of cases. Relevant pathology is referred to as iatrogenic. The analysis suggests a relationship between an early diagnosis and outcome. Morphological characteristics are presented for esophageal injuries and associated complications. Considered are iatrogenic damage to the gastric wall due to glue application, sequelae of endoscopic choledochotomies, laparoscopies, etc. A rare complication of small intestinal intubation with resultant invagination is recorded. The complications are assessed morphologically, their outcomes are listed. The authors emphasize the significance of the clinico-morphologic analysis of each individual pathology for formulating postmortem diagnosis and cause of death.

Clinical Manifestations:
Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...

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...
