Gastroscope Biopsy

What could my right upper quaduant pain be caused by?

Im a 27 yo female with RUQ pain that has lasted for 6 months. I have no previous medical history and no allergies. I am not taking any medications.

other symptoms
- pain under ribs and ruq . 2/10 - 5/10 pain. feels cramping and then stabbing. worse when i eat anything including fatty food. pain also increases when i lean foward in a slumped position.
- nausea after i eat/ no vomiting
- weight loss in last 2 months of 10 kgs (was 70kg and now 60) and loss of appitite.
- no bloody stools/ malina/PR bleeding/ blood in vomit/ no obvious palpable mass on abdomin.
- low grade temperature at times.
- no tenderness in calves, shortness of breath or angina symptoms. Bp 110/80 hr 70.

yer thats about it. Had a abdominal Ultra sound and that was clear (no gallstones) and also had a gastroscope which was clear (no ulcers in stomach and dodenum - biopsy negitive. going for a CT.

Any thoughts?????? (:

Sounds like it could be your Gall Bladder, as you say after eating fatty foods. You do not need stones for it to be that. Also if this pain is severe sudden attack but is not a dull continual one, then I have that every once in a while and was told it is a floating rib or something to that effect and when your turn it pinches an organ and hurts then the pain goes away in a few minutes.

Biopsy $70.1 A biopsy is a medical test involving the removal of cells or tissues for examination. It is the removal of tissue from a living subject to determine the presence or extent of a disease. The tissue is generally examined under a microscope by a pathologist, and can also be analyzed chemically. When an entire lump or suspicious area is removed, the procedure is called an excisional biopsy. When only a sample of tissue is removed with preservation of the histological architecture of the tissues cells, the procedure is called an incisional biopsy or core biopsy. When a sample of tissue or fluid is removed with a needle in such a way that cells are removed without preserving the histological architecture of the tissue cells, the procedure is called a needle aspiration biopsy.

Prostate Biopsy Interpretation (Hardcover) $280 This book covers all the practical issues related to the interpretation of prostatic biopsies in day-to-day practice, including: biopsy sampling and processing; the diagnosis of limited cancer; differentiation of prostate cancers from benign lesions and recognition of histologic variants; the recognition and clinical significance of "atypical" diagnoses and HGPIN; the identification of recently described entities; the contemporary approach to Gleason grading; the utility of immunohistochemical markers and emerging molecular markers; and the reporting of prostate biopsies. Algorithms, flow charts, and tables are used throughout to simulate the thought and decision-making process upon encountering common clinical scenarios during sign-out of prostate biopsy. The book is richly illustrated with carefully selected, high-quality color images and will appeal especially to practicing surgical pathologists as well as pathology residents and fellows in training.

Directional Vacuum Assisted Breast Biopsy $113.11 Directional vacuum assisted breast biopsy (VAB) is a modified and improved technique of large core breast biopsy. It allows faster acquisition of contiguous, multiple cores with single needle insertion. A 10fold greater tissue volume is obtained per core with VAB compared with core needle biopsy. VAB can be used under stereotactic, ultrasound or MRI guidance. Large samples make VAB almost equivalent to surgical biopsy. VAB is an accurate and reliable technique to obtain histologic diagnosis of malignant or benign breast lesions and assists therapeutic decisions. We conducted a study to assess the role of VAB in patients with previously equivocal biopsies for breast masses suspicious for cancer.

Biopsie Gastrique

Peptic Ulcer and Surgical Treatment

Ulcer in the stomach is called gastric ulcer, in the duodenum is called duodenal ulcer. Peptic ulcers viewed in the gastroscopy appear as little mouth ulcers of 1-2cm in diameter. Gastric ulcer causes a sharp pain in the stomach soon after eating, in duodenal ulcer the pain is relieved by drinking milk. Other symptoms are: loss of appetite, belching, sensation of discomfort in the stomach, nausea, loss of weight.

Diagnosis

It is important to diagnose ulcers with specific tests in order not to be mistaken with stomach cancer. One is the breath test you are given a substance and if there is infection with H. Pylori in your stomach then a gas is produced and detected in the breath. Barium meal X-ray is also helpfull in detecting ulcers. Gastroscopy uses a

fibre-optic cable which is passed through the stomach and shows the lining of the stomach, a biopsy may be taken in the same time.

Treatment

Comprises a change in the life style, to reduce the symptoms and help healing the ulcers. Although no study has proved the direct implication of spicy foods, coffee and possibly alcohol in the producing of ulcer you???d better avoid them and stop smoking and lose weight. Use paracetamol instead of non steroids anti-inflammatory drugs and ask youGP for advice.

Drugs that reduce the acid in the stomach are: H2-antagonists such as ranitidine and cimetidine, proton pump inhibitors that have a more powerful effect in reducing the protection of the stomach acid.

How to eradicate H. Pylori

The best treatment in eradicating the infection with H. Pylori is a combination of antibiotics and a proton pump inhibitor. Only after curing the infection with H. Pylori you may be sure that the ulcer won???t re-appear. Sometime further tests such as: gastroscopy or barium swallow are necessary.

Complications

Some of the peptic ulcers may heal without treatment, spontaneously. But if they complicate the whole situation is severe, there may appear ulcer bleeding, ulcer perforation, and gastric obstruction. Ulcer bleeding manifests as: melena or black stools, weakness, orthostatic syncope, hematemesis meaning blood vomiting.

If the ulcer is perforated the gastric contents are leaked in the peritoneal cavity and results in acute peritonitis. Those cases are very severe and surgery is required immediately, because the abdomen muscles become rigid and any motion determines extreme abdominal pain.

If gastric obstruction occurs near the pyloric canal which joins the stomach to the duodenum the patient reports increasing abdominal pain, diminished appetite, vomiting of undigested or partially digested food and weight loss.

Surgery was very used in the past in the treatment of the peptic ulcers, complications such as: severe bleeding or perforation may require surgery. Because peritonitis is probable to develop you need to address the emergency as soon as possible. Surgery is performed under a sedative and through a gastroscope.
