Issue: 
Vol 59, issue 3 (2010)
Pages:

Synopsis: 
H pylori infection was common in patients with gastrointestinal symptoms in the Turks and Caicos. However, the prevalence of infection in patients undergoing endoscopy and peptic ulcer disease is lower than in other reports from the Caribbean.

ABSTRACT

Background: Helicobacter pylori infection remains a common problem and previous studies in the Caribbean revealed infection in over 50% of patients undergoing upper endoscopy.

Objective: The present study determined the prevalence of H pylori infection in patients undergoing upper gastrointestinal endoscopy in the Turks and Caicos Islands over a two- year interval.

Hepatocellular Cancer

Issue: 
Vol 58, Issue 3 (2009)
Pages: 
273–6
Synopsis: 
Hepatocellular cancer (HCC) occurs in the setting of chronic hepatitis B infection and cirrhosis of the liver. Most patients may already have a liver disease, hence the onset of HCC may be missed until it reaches an advanced stage. This article will review the presentation, diagnosis and treatment modalities of this disease.
