ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To determine the factors associated with adherence to Helicobacter pylori eradication treatment in patients with the infection. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A longitudinal prospective cohort analytical observational study was conducted, including 100 patients who initiated Helicobacter pylori eradication treatment. The Morisky Green test was applied to measure adherence to treatment and the Battle Test was applied to measure knowledge about Helicobacter pylori infection. The Chi-square test was performed to determine the association of factors with adherence to treatment and logistic regression analysis to estimate crude RR and adjusted RR. RESULTS: Of the 100 patients, 64% were found to be female. The average age was 49.9 years and 65% were adherent to treatment. Factors associated with lack of treatment adherence were: age under 50 years (adjusted RR 3.95, 95% CI: 1.09-14.33), lack of higher studies (adjusted RR: 5.1, 95% CI: 1.26-20.5) and presence of adverse reactions (adjusted RR: 5.88, 95% CI: 1.56-22.2). CONCLUSIONS: Most patients were found to be adherent to the treatment. The risk factors for poor adherence were adverse reactions, age under 50 years and lack of higher education.

We present the case of a 53-year-old male patient, a man who had sex with men. He described the presence of inguinal adenopathy and non-painful ulcer with indurated edges on his penis that heal spontaneously after 3 months. In the same period of time the patient presented: tenesmus, bleeding and rectal pain. In the proctoscopy was observed at the level of the rectum: deep ulcer with regular and indurated edges, ulcerated bed with abundant mucus; The rectal mucosa around the ulcer had multiple circumferential erosions 2-4 mm in diameter. The biopsy showed infiltration of lymphomonocollar cells and granulomas. The HIV ELISA test was positive, CD 4: 275 cel./uL, HIV viral load: 10 300 copies / ml, VDRL: Non-reactive, FTA-Abs: 1/10 (positive). Warthin-Starry staining was used in the rectal ulcer biopsy sample identifying spirochetes. After the administration of benzatinic Penicillin G, the symptoms and lesions in the rectal region were resolved. Likewise, antiretroviral treatment was initiated. Ulcerative and erosive proctitis is common in people living with HIV infection, however, it is rare to identify spirochetes in the biopsy sample.

INTRODUCCIÓN: La ERGE es considerada como la causa de morbilidad digestiva más frecuente en la población, siendo la erosión dental una manifestación extra esofágica en la cavidad bucal. OBJETIVOS: determinar la asociación entre erosiones dentales y esofagitis por reflujo gastroesofagico de acuerdo al grado de esofagitis, grado de erosion dental, sexo y edad. MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: Estudio descriptivo, transversal, observacional y correlacional en 150 pacientes con ERGE diagnosticados endoscópicamente como esofagitis por reflujo gastroesofágico (graduados según clasificación de Los Angeles) en el Servicio de Gastroenterología del Hospital Arzobispo Loayza (2011-2012). Posterior a la endoscopia los pacientes fueron sometidos a una evaluación clínica dental a fin de investigar la presencia de erosiones dentales previa firma de consentimiento informado. RESULTADOS: Se obtuvo una prevalencia de 30% (45 pacientes) con erosiones dentales y ERGE, el 100% manifestó acidez en la boca y regurgitación ácida. Respecto al sexo, el femenino presentó un promedio de 2.35 erosiones en el sector anterior en la superficie palatina en grado 1 mientras que en el sexo masculino se encontró un promedio de 1.86 erosiones en el sector anterior de la superficie palatina en grado 2. De acuerdo a la edad se obtuvo un promedio de 3.50 erosiones en la superficie incisal grado 1 en el sector anterior en pacientes mayores de 70 años seguida de un promedio de 3.11 erosiones en la superficie palatina grado 1 en pacientes de 20 a 30 años. De acuerdo al total de superficies evaluadas el grupo etario comprendido entre 30 y 40 años conforman la mayoría de población afectada. Respecto al grado de esofagitis por reflujo gastroesofágico se encontró en el grupo de Esofagitis por reflujo Los Ángeles "D" un promedio de 6.0 erosiones en el sector anterior en la superficie palatina grado 2 y en el sector anterior en la superficie palatina grado 1 y en el grupo de pacientes con esofagitis Los Angeles "A" y "B" con promedios respectivos de 2.3 y 2.2 y en el sector anterior en la superficie incisal Grado 1. y esofagitis Los Angeles "D". Existe asociación significativa (p=0.002) entre el grado de esofagitis por reflujo gastroesofágico y grado de erosión dental. CONCLUSIONES: en el presente estudio se ha encontrado clara asociación entre el grado de las erosiones dentarias y el grado esofagitis por reflujo gastroesofágico. Las erosiones dentarias son más frecuentes en varones mayores de 70 años, en quienes las erosiones dentales se dieron en el sector anterior en la superficie incisal grado 1. Las superficies más erosionadas se encontraron en mujeres en el sector anterior en la superficie palatina grado 1. En pacientes con esofagitis por reflujo gastroesofágico Los Ángeles "A"," B" y "C" se observa mayor número de piezas dentarias erosionadas sea de grado 1 ó 2. Los síntomas: acidez en la boca y regurgitaciones ácidas que llegan hasta la boca son un indicador importante para la presencia de erosiones dentarias en pacientes con ERGE. La superficie palatina de las piezas antero superiores fueron las que tuvieron mayor presencia de erosiones en pacientes con ERGE.
INTRODUCTION: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is considered as one of the most common digestive disease in the population, being the dental erosion a manifestation extra-esophageal in the oral cavity. OBJETIVES: investigate asociation between erosion and GERD according to esophagitis grade, erosion grade, sex and age. MATERIAL AND METHODS: descriptive, observational, and correlational study in 150 patients with endoscopically diagnosed GERD, grades of esophagitis according to the classification of Los Angeles, in the Department of Gastroenterology at Arzobispo Loayza Hospital (20112012). Patients after the procedure underwent a dental evaluation to investigate the presence of dental erosion by eroding tooth surface. RESULTS: We obtained a prevalence of 30% (45) patients with GERD and dental erosions of which 100% had symptoms consistent with acidity in the mouth and acid regurgitation. According to the sex the female sex showed an average of 2.35 erosions on the palatal surface in grade 1 and in males an average of 1.86 erosions on the palatal surface in grade 2. According to the age the highest average was 3.50 in the incisal erosion on the surface grade 1 in the anterior in patients older than 70 years followed by an average of 3.11 incisal erosion on the surface grade 1 in patients 20 to 30 years. According to the total areas assessed (by age) patients between 30 and 40 years were the most affected population. According to degree of esophagitis the follows were: an average of 6.0 erosions in the anterior palatal surface in grade 2 with esophagitis Los Angeles "D"; in the anterior palatal surface in Grade 1 with esophagitis Los Angeles "A" and "B" with respective averages of 2.3 and 2.2 and in the anterior incisal surface in Grade 1 with esophagitis Los Angeles "D". According to the Chi2 test exists a significant association (p = 0.002) between the degree of esophagitis and degree of dental erosion. CONCLUSIONS: A significant association exists between GERD and dental erosions. The presence and degree of dental erosion as predominant age occurred in patients older than 70 years in the previous Grade 1 incisal surface. According to the sex; eroded surface was predominant in females in the anterior sector palatal surface in grade 1.According to the degree of gastroesophageal reflux disease (esophagitis) is determined that the highest number of erosions was presented at the anterior sector on the palatal surface grade 2 with esophagitis Los Angeles "D". The symptoms compatible with heartburn and acid regurgitation in to the mouth that reaches to the oral cavity is an important indicator for the presence of dental erosions in patients with GERD. The tooth surface with the highest presence of dental erosions in patients with GERD was the palatal surface of anterior teeth.

INTRODUCCIÓN - El Esófago de Barrett (EB) es una condición en la que el epitelio escamoso esofágico es reemplazado por uno glandular de tipo intestinal como consecuencia del reflujo gastroesofágico crónico. La importancia de esta entidad radica en su carácter premaligno (adenocarcioma de esofago). Se cree que existen otros factores como el sexo, edad, reflujo biliar, antecedente de esofagitis, la presencia de hernia hiatal, la obesidad y la dieta rica en grasa; favorecerian su aparición, mientras que el Helicobacter pylori sería un factor protector. OBJETIVOS.- Identificar la prevalencia y los factores de riesgo en el desarrollo del EB en el Hospital Nacional Arzobispo Loayza Lima-Perú. (2004) MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS.-estudio descriptivo, transversal, analítico de casos y controles. Se analizó 30 casos de pacientes con diagnóstico de EB, y 95 controles. El análisis de las variables se realizó con estadística descriptiva, la asociación entre ellas mediante el Chi-cuadrado. El Análisis de Correspondencia Múltiple se usó para la construcción de Indicadores y el Mapa de perfiles en cada grupo de estudio. La fuerza de asociación se determinó usando el Modelo de Regresión Logística. RESULTADOS.- 11,970 pacientes acuden para realizarse endoscopia digestiva alta por cualquier indicación, 9,820 pacientes fueron por primera vez, 30 de ellos resultaron con diagnostico de EB, la prevalencia fue 0.30% y la incidencia 0.28%. El EB fue más frecuente en pacientes varones que en mujeres (2:1), la edad promedio fue 60.3 años, existiendo asociación entre la edad y EB (p<0.004), más no así con el sexo. El Indicador de la variable reflujo gastroesofágico mostró que las regurgitaciones, la pirosis y la disfagia identifican al grupo de EB (p<0.0001), y el Indicador de consumo de alimentos encontró asociación entre EB y consumo de carne de cerdo y la preparación de alimentos bajo la forma de frituras (p<0.026), el antecedente de esofagitis esta asociado a la presencia de EB (p<0.0001)...

Benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis (BRIC) is a rare form of intrahepatic cholestasis characterized by repeated self-limited episodes of severe pruritus and jaundice. Classically its natural evolution is benign, without progress to fibrosis or hepatic insufficiency; although, lastly were reported cases which progress to Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC). This disease is characterized by progressive hepatic insufficiency and cirrhosis. We present the case of a 32 years old male patient who went to Gastroenterology Service of Arzobispo Loayza National Hospital by pruritus and jaundice. We reported this case for its infrequent presentation and because is an entity which should be considered within differential diagnosis of hepatic cholestasis diseases.

La Colestasis Intrahepatica Benigna Recurrente (CIBR) es una rara forma de colestasis intrahepatica caracterizada por episodios recurrentes y autolimitados de ictericia y prurito intensos. Clásicamente su evolución natural es benigna, sin progresión a fibrosis o insuficiencia hepática; sin embargo, últimamente se han reportado casos que progresan a Colestasis Intrahepatica Familiar Progresiva (CIFP), ésta última caracterizada porinsuficiencia hepática y cirrosis. Presentamos el caso de un paciente varón de 32 años que acude al Servicio de Gastroenterología del Hospital Nacional "Arzobispo Loayza",por ictericia y prurito. Lo reportamos por lo infrecuente de su presentación y por ser una entidad que debemos tener en cuenta en el diagnóstico diferencial de enfermedades hepáticas colestásicas.

UNLABELLED: Upper gastrointestinal bleeding is a digestive disorder with both high morbidity and mortality, being the most important digestive emergency. The objective of study was to find risk factors than increase morbimortality and efficacy treatment of used. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The design was is a retrospective case-control study, an aleatory unrestrictive sample was done, with 104 subjects each group, selected by the aleatory numbers table. RESULTS: Risk factors associated to mobility: major bleeding was male population (OR = 1.94, CL 1.08-3.50), previous alcohol consume (OR = 2.47, CL 1.32-4.66); previous peptic ulcer (OR = 2.83, CL 1.16-7.07);chronic liver disease (OR = 4.55, CL 1.36-16.77); haematemesis and melaena (OR = 2.85, CL 1.53-5.34); and only haematemesis (OR = 3.40, CL 1.62-7.23); injury assigned as risk factor were esophagogastric varices(OR = 4.64, CL 1.96-3.42). Combinated treatments medical-endoscopic and medical-surgical treatments were determinate as protectors factors with RR = 0.52 (CL 0.37-0.73) and RR = 0.09 (CL 0.01 - 0.61) respectively. Mortality: 0.40%. CONCLUSION: Risk factors associated to morbimortality were: chronic liver disease, esophago-gastric varices, haematemesis and melaena. Treatment medical-endoscopic and medical-surgery are protective factors. Mortality: 0.48% can be attributed to improvement of endoscopic treatments and convenient surgery treatment considered as protector factors with high efficacy.

La hemorragia digestiva alta es una emergencia médico quirúrgica frecuente que presenta una elevada morbimortalidad, constituyendo la principal urgencia gastroenterológica. El presente estudio busca identificar los factores de riesgo que incrementan la morbimortalidad y la eficacia de los tratamientos empleados. Materiales y Métodos: El estudio es de tipo retrospectivo con diseño de caso-control. Se llevó a cabo mediante muestreo irrestricto, obteniendose 104 casos para cada grupo, seleccionados aleatoriamente de todos los pacientes diagnosticados como Hemorragia digestiva alta en el Hospital Nacional Arzobispo Loayza de Lima, en el tiempo comprendido entre 1998 y 2003. Resultados: Los factores de riesgo asociados a morbilidad son: respecto a mayor pérdida de volumen sanguíneo, corresponde al sexo masculino OR=1.94, IC(1.08-3.50); antecedente de ingestión de alcohol OR=2.47 IC(1.32-4.66); antecedentes de úlcera péptica OR=2.83, IC(1.16-7.07); hepatopatía crónica OR=4.55, IC(1.36-16.77); manifestaciones clínicas de hematemesis-melena OR=2.85, IC(1.53-5.34); y solo hematemesis OR=3.40, IC(1.62-7.23); la presencia de várices esófago-gástricas OR=4.64, IC(1.96-13.42). El tratamiento combinado médico-endoscópico y médico-quirúrgico fueron determinados como factores protectores con RR=0.52 IC(0.37-0.73) y RR=0.09 IC(0.01-0.61) respectivamente. Mortalidad: 0.48 por ciento. Conclusión: Los factores de riesgo que incrementan la morbimortalidad son: presencia de enfermedades concomitantes como hapatopatía crónica, varices esófago-gástricas y presentación con hematemesis y melena. El tratamiento combinado médico-endoscópico y médico-quirúrgico son factores protectores con alta eficacia. La disminución de la mortalidad a 0.48 por ciento es atribuida al mejoramiento de las técnicas de endoscopía terapéutica y la indicación quirúrgica oportuna.

PURPOSE: Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a method being used for approximately 30 years, in the diagnosis and treatment of a number of hepatobiliary and pancreatic disorders. This study has been undertaken to analyze ERCP characteristics in a national referential center. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a retrospective descriptive study of a transverse section of 1702 patients subjected to ERCP in the Digestive Endoscopy Center of Gastroenterology Service of the Arzobispo Loayza Hospital between 2000 and 2003. RESULTS: A total of 239 ERCPs were carried out in 2000; 553 in 2001; 375 in 2002 and 655 in 2003. Seventy five percent (75%) of the patients were female. Prior to ERCP, 70% echographically presented biliary tract dilation; 44% as the only finding and 26% presented biliary tract dilation associated with other findings, giving a total of 70%. One percent (1%) was emergency ERCP. Forty two point six percent (42.6%) of the ERCPs performed were exclusively for diagnostic purposes, while 54.6% ended up being therapeutic. Once the procedure was completed, the most frequent definite diagnosis was choledocholithiasis (903/1702; 53.06%). Ninety two percent (92%) of the CPREs underwent first level difficulty; 98% passed without complications. In 55% of the cases, sphincterotomy was performed. In 54% of the cases a complete technical success was encountered and clinical success in 84% of the cases. CONCLUSIONS: The referral center of the study was characterized by an oscillating frequency of ERCPs which were frequently and, in a majority, conditioned by choledocholithiasis. Predominantly, the processes were at level one difficulty and in a majority a complete technical success was attained.

OBJETIVOS: La colangiopancreatografía retrógrada endoscópica (CPRE) es un método que viene usándose desde hace aproximadamente 30 años en el diagnóstico y manejo de una variedad de desórdenes hepatobiliares y pancreáticos. Este estudio se realiza para analizar las características de la CPRE en un centro de referencia nacional. MATERIALES Y METODOS: Estudio retrospectivo descriptivo de corte transversal de 1702 pacientes sometidos a CPRE en el centro de endoscopia digestiva del Servicio de Gastroenterología del Hospital Arzobispo Loayza del año 2000 al 2003. RESULTADOS: Se realizaron 239 CPREs en el año 2000, 553 en el 2001, 375 en el 2002 y 655 en el año 2003. El 75 por ciento de los pacientes fueron de sexo femenino. Previo a la CPRE el 70 por ciento ecográficamente presentaba dilatación de vía biliar; 44 por ciento como único hallazgo, y el 26 por ciento dilatación de la vía biliar asociado a otros hallazgos sumaban un 70 por ciento. El 1 por ciento fueron CPREs de urgencia. El 42.6 por ciento de las CPREs realizadas fueron exclusivamente diagnósticas, mientras que el 54.6 por ciento terminaron siendo terapéuticas. Realizado el procedimiento el diagnóstico definitivo más frecuente fue coledocolitiasis (903/1702; 53.06 por ciento). El 92 por ciento de las CPREs tuvieron grado 1 de dificultad; el 98 por ciento cursó sin complicaciones. En el 55 por ciento de los casos se realizó esfinterotomía. Se encontró un éxito técnico completo en el 54 por ciento de los casos y un éxito clínico en el 89 por ciento. CONCLUSIONES: El centro de referencia del estudio se caracterizó por una frecuencia oscilante de CPREs las cuales fueron frecuentemente, en su mayoría condicionadas por coledocolitiasis. Predominantemente los procedimientos fueron de grado 1 de dificultad, y en la mayoría con éxito técnico completo.
