Abstract:
Neuroendocrine tumors account for 0.5% of all malignancies, and their incidence is around 2/100,000 with a female predilection within the age range of 50 years at the time of presentation. NETs in India have a different clinicopathological profile compared to those in Western countries. Very few limited studies are available in Indian literature with regard to the epidemiology, presentations, histopathological characteristics, and treatment outcomes in patients with gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors. This warrants the need for documentation of these tumors, and we hereby present a case series of four patients diagnosed with NETs who presented within a period of 9 months at our rural tertiary care center.

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...
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.
In gastric emptying studies, a meal's liquid and solid...
