    3 Gastroenterology and the Elderly Thomas W. Sheehy 3.1. Esophagus 3.1.1. Dysphagia Esophageal disorders, such as esophageal motility disorders, infections, tumors, and other diseases, are common in the elderly. In the elderly, dysphagia usually implies organic disease. There are two types: (1) pre-esophageal and (2) esophageal. Both are further subdivided into motor (neuromuscular) or structural (intrinsic and extrinsic) lesions.! 3.1.2. Pre-esophageal Dysphagia Pre-esophageal dysphagia (PED) usually implies neuromuscular disease and may be caused by pseudobular palsy, multiple sclerosis, amy trophic lateral scle­ rosis, Parkinson's disease, bulbar poliomyelitis, lesions of the glossopharyngeal nerve, myasthenia gravis, and muscular dystrophies. Since PED is due to inability to initiate the swallowing mechanism, food cannot escape from the oropharynx into the esophagus. Such patients usually have more difficulty swallowing liquid THOMAS W. SHEEHY • The University of Alabama in Birmingham, School of Medicine, Department of Medicine; and Medical Services, Veterans Administration Medical Center, Birming­ ham, Alabama 35233. 87 S. R.

They sputter or cough during attempts to swallow and often have nasal regurgitation or aspiration of food. 3.1.3. Dysfunction of the Cricopharyngeus Muscle In the elderly, this is one of the more common forms of PED.2 These patients have the sensation of an obstruction in their throat when they attempt to swallow. This is due to incoordination of the cricopharyngeus muscle. When this muscle fails to relax quickly enough during swallowing, food cannot pass freely into the esophagus. If the muscle relaxes promptly but closes too quickly, food is trapped as it attempts to enter the esophagus.

  • Advice Note: Infant Proctocolitis – Fresh Blood PR in a Thriving Infant
    Advice Note: Infant proctocolitis – Fresh blood PR in a thriving infant Dear GP, Thank you for your referral. The most common cause for small amounts of fresh blood PR in a well, thriving infant is infant proctocolitis. This is a benign condition in vast majority of cases and does not require a secondary care input. This is a food protein related reaction most commonly caused by cow’s milk protein (CMP) but other common causes include soy, egg, corn and cereal grains. Rarely other foods can trigger a reaction. Typically infants can tolerate the previously causative proteins by 1 year of age. It does not increase the risk of IgE mediated food allergy. It is common in both breast and formula fed babies. There are no diagnostic tests and the diagnosis relies on exclusion of other causes and resolution of symptoms with dietary manipulations. Features of a typical presentation include: Mucousy loose stools with spots or streaks of bright red blood in a well thriving infant Age at presentation: 1 week to 5 months (although can present earlier and later) It can be associated with mild to moderate diarrhea, excessive crying / fussiness/ sleep disturbance, apparent pain on defecation. It may also be associated with mild anemia, hypoalbuminaemia, mild peripheral eosinophilia and family history of same. Features indicating other disorders include: No IM vitamin K at birth Severe bleeding Abdominal distension / tenderness on examination Faltering growth Signs / symptoms of malabsorption Severe diarrhea Vomiting Anaphylaxis Rash, including petechiae, purpura or urticarial Significant anaemia Persistent perianal dermatitis Anal fissures Management: Referral to ED if the infant : o is unwell and or febrile o is haemodynamically unstable o has a history of severe bleeding o has significant vomiting o has abdominal distension or tenderness on examination o has features of anaphylaxis o has severe anaemia Management in the community if the child is well and there are no worrying features on history or examination: o Investigations: .

  • Allergic Proctocolitis in the Exclusively Breastfed Infant
    BREASTFEEDING MEDICINE Volume 6, Number 6, 2011 ABM Protocol ª Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. DOI: 10.1089/bfm.2011.9977 ABM Clinical Protocol #24: Allergic Proctocolitis in the Exclusively Breastfed Infant The Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine A central goal of The Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine is the development of clinical protocols for managing common medical problems that may impact breastfeeding success. These protocols serve only as guidelines for the care of breast- feeding mothers and infants and do not delineate an exclusive course of treatment or serve as standards of medical care. Variations in treatment may be appropriate according to the needs of an individual patient. These guidelines are not intended to be all-inclusive, but to provide a basic framework for physician education regarding breastfeeding. Purpose data indicate approximately 0.5–1% of exclusively breastfed infants develop allergic reactions to cow’s milk proteins ex- he purpose of this clinical protocol is to explore the creted in the mother’s milk.5 Given that cow’s milk protein is Tscientific basis, pathologic aspects, and clinical manage- the offending antigen in 50–65% of cases,4,6 the total incidence ment of allergic proctocolitis in the breastfed infant as we of food allergy in the exclusively breastfed infant appears currently understand the condition and to define needs for slightly higher than 0.5–1%.

  • Osseous Metaplasia of the Gallbladder: Report of Two Cases
    DOI: 10.14744/ejmo.2017.32042 EJMO 2017;1(2):108–110 Case Report Osseous Metaplasia of the Gallbladder: Report of Two Cases Semra Dogan,1 Asiye Safak Bulut2 1Department of General Surgery, TOBB University of Economics and Technology Faculty of Medicine, Ankara, Turkey 2Department of Pathology, TOBB University of Economics and Technology Faculty of Medicine, Ankara, Turkey Abstract Osseous metaplasia is rarely seen in the gastrointestinal tract. Its occurrence in the gallbladder is even more rare; only 7 cases have been reported thus far. Two additional cases are described herein: one was an incidental finding and the other simulated an intramural gallstone in a chronically inflamed, calculi-containing gallbladder. The patients were a 32-year-old man and a 52-year-old man who presented with abdominal pain. Ultrasonography revealed small gall- stones in 1 patient. Laparoscopic cholecystectomies were performed and histologies were consistent with chronic cholecystitis and cholelithiasis with intramucosal bone formations. One of the patients also had an adenomyoma in the fundus. Osseous metaplasia of the gallbladder is a rare event. It is mostly incidental and although its etiology and clinical significance are unknown, it may mimic a gallstone, which could affect treatment options. The pathogenesis could be osteogenic stimulation as a result of the inflammatory process.
