fundic

Most of the abnormal values were found in patients with defective fundic wrap.

Endoscopy showed six of 21 fundic wraps to be defective.

In those patients, we and others have reported scattered cases of fundic argyrophil carcinoids.

The state of the fundic wrap was checked with retroflexed endoscope.

Three of the fundic wraps in these 21 cases had slipped and three were disrupted.

Fundic gland polyps can be found in association with the following genetic conditions :

The following are acquired causes for fundic gland polyps :

Nevertheless, argyrophil micronodules were often seen, scattered in the fundic mucosa.

However, the influence that sexual hormones per se may have on fundic argyrophil cell proliferation is unknown.

Moreover, histopathological examination of fundic argyrophil cell growth allowed us to make several observations.

In an earlier report, we have mentioned two patients with fundic argyrophil carcinoid growths among those studied.

These cells are part of epithelial fundic glands in the gastric mucosa.

PPI use has also been associated with fundic gland polyposis.

The end expiratory fundic pressure was taken as zero reference, and all values were expressed in mm Hg.

Our work indicates that fundic argyrophil cell densities were significantly higher in women than in men.

During treatment with omeprazole, gastric fundic gland polyps have been noted rarely.

As a result, it is recommend that patients with multiple fundic polyps have a colonoscopy to evaluate the colon.

The carcinoids were associated with diffuse and nodular hyperplasia of fundic endocrine cells.

Indeed, while fundic argyrophil cell densities declined with age in men, no such tendency was evident in women.

In addition, changes in the density of fundic mucosal endocrine cells were evaluated morphometrically.

Argyrophil (Grimelius positive) staining was supposed to detct most fundic endocrine cells.

The lower oesophageal sphincter pressure was measured as the difference between the sleeve pressure and the fundic pressure.

Good antireflux effects of Nissen fundoplication were evident 20 years after the operation, provided that the fundic wrap was still intact.

Fundic gland polyposis is a medical syndrome where the fundus of the stomach develops many polyps.

More recent findings indicate that hypergastrinaemia associated with pernicious anaemia leads to hyperplasia of fundic endocrine cells.
