Methods: Using analytic study design, conducted in outpatient Koja Hospital from June 2013 until July 2013, for all patients with dyspepsia who will be run ramadan fasting. Subjects are divided into 2 groups, one group was given omeprazole during fasting, while others were given a placebo. Before and after 2 weeks of fasting DSSI scores were taken. DSSI scores assessed changes in both groups

were compared using student t test. Results: DSSI LBH589 cell line scores on average before the intervention (pre-test) of the two groups was not significant (p = 0.9). In the omeprazole group obtained without worsening DSSI score from 27.7 ± 14 to 36 ± 14.8 (p = 0.001), whereas the omeprazole group obtained scores from 27.2 ± 9.4 to 30 ± 9.9 (p = 0.08). In the group without omeprazole score worsened by 8.3 ± 7.2 and

in the omeprazole group with only 2.7 ± 5.7 (p = 0.02). Conclusion: Deterioration of DSSI score was significantly occurred in the group without omeprazole therapy. Omeprazole during the month of fasting can reduce exacerbations in patients with dyspeptic complaints. Key Word(s): 1. Dyspepsia; see more 2. DSSI; 3. fasting; 4.

Endoscopic

intervention has been increasingly used to manage these complications. However, data on its safety and efficacy are lacking. Methods: A retrospective review of endoscopic intervention from 2009 to 2014 was undertaken in 11 patients (M : F = 2:9, mean age 39.5 years, mean BMI:48.3) with significant bariatric complications requiring hospital admission. All bariatric surgery – vertical banded gastroplasty (VBG), laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) or laparascopic gastric banding (LGB) were performed by the same experienced surgeon. Results: Complications included leaks, sinus/fistulae, stricture formation and migrated silastic ring. 63.6% of the complications occurred early (<30 days) post-bariatric surgery. medchemexpress In 5 patients (45.5%) the bariatric complications were successfully managed with endoscopic intervention alone. The remaining 6 (54.5%) patients had both surgical and endoscopic interventions. Endoscopic techniques used to treat stenosis included through-the-scope (TTS) balloon dilatation (n = 4), wire-guided dilatation (n = 1) and fully-covered stent insertion (n = 2). Post-operative leaks, fistulae and sinuses were managed with fibrin glue injection, clips (TTS and/or over-the-scope clips) and/or insertion of fully-covered stents.
