3. DYSPEPSIA
Talley et al. Am J Gastroenterol 2005;100:2324–2337)
Dyspepsia is defined as chronic or
recurrent pain or discomfort centered in the
upper abdomen
Discomfort is defined as a subjective
negative feeling that is nonpainful, and can
incorporate a variety of symptoms
including early satiety or upper abdominal
fullness
Patients presenting with predominant or
frequent (more than once a week) heartburn
or acid regurgitation should be considered
to have gastroesophageal reflux disease
(GERD) until proven otherwise.
4. DIAGNOSTIC TESTING
patients more than 55 yr old, or those with alarm features should
undergo prompt endoscopy to rule out peptic ulcer disease,
esophagogastric malignancy, and other rare upper gastrointestinal
tract disease.
In patients aged 55 yr or younger with no alarm features
test and treat for H. pylori using a validated noninvasive test and
a trial of acid suppression if eradication is successful but
symptoms do not resolve
an empiric trial of acid suppression with a proton pump
inhibitor (PPI) for 4–8 wk.
The test-and-treat option is preferable in populations with
a moderate to high prevalence of H. pylori infection (≥10%), whereas
the empirical PPI strategy is preferable in low prevalence situations.

6. EMPIRIC ANTISECRETORY THERAPY IN
UNINVESTIGATED DYSPEPSIA
In H. pylori-negative cases with uninvestigated dyspepsia
and no alarm features, an empiric trial of acid suppression
for 4–8 wk is recommended first-line therapy
1985 H2 receptor antagonist for 6–8 wk
PPIs replace H2RA
Now
There are limited data that prokinetic therapy employed as an
empiric strategy may be efficacious in uninvestigated dyspepsia
Talley et al. Am J Gastroenterol 2005;100:2324–2337)
7. MANAGEMENT OF DOCUMENTED
FUNCTIONAL DYSPEPSIA
Once a diagnosis of functional dyspepsia is confirmed by a negative
endoscopy, an empiric trial of therapy is commonly prescribed
Many patients do not require medication for dyspepsia after they have
had reassurance and education such as High-fat meals should be avoided;
eating frequent and smaller meals throughout the day
Antacids and sucralfate were not superior to placebo in functional
dyspepsia based on a Cochrane review
A Cochrane review of 8 trials of H2 receptor antagonists with 1,125
patients showed a relative risk reduction of 30% but the quality of the
trials was generally poor
PPIs in this review also produced a relative risk reduction of
approximately 30% and the quality of the trials was better

10. Peptic Ulcer
A peptic ulcer is a deep and sharply demarcated break in the
lining of the stomach or duodenum – when in the stomach it
is described as a gastric ulcer and when in the duodenum a
duodenal ulcer.
The most common causal factor in this damage is infection of
the stomach with the bacterium Helicobacter pylori.
The other major cause of peptic ulcer disease, particularly
gastric ulcer disease, is the use of nonsteroidal anti-
inflammatory drugs
11. Treatment of H.pylori Infection
First choice treatment ~ Triple Therapy
• PPI (standard dose bid), clarithromycin (500 mg bid), amoxicillin (1000 mg bid) or
metronidazole (400 or 500 mg bid), 14 day treatment is more effective than 7days (by
12% (95% confidence interval 7% to 17%).
• A seven day treatment may be acceptable where local studies show that it is effective
• Combination options
• PPI-clarithromycin-amoxicillin or metronidazole treatment if less than 15–20%
population resistance to clarithromycin
• PPI-clarithromycin-metronidazole is preferable, if less than 40% population
metronidazole resistance
Malfertheiner P et al. Gut 2007;56:772-781
12. Second choice treatments ~ Quadruple treatments
• Bismuth-containing quadruple treatments remain the best second
choice treatment
• PPI-amoxicillin or tetracycline and metronidazole are
• recommended if bismuth is not available

Editor's Notes
NSAIDs can cause gastroduodenal injury
NSAIDs provide a range of benefits, but they also carry significant gastroduodenal risks for the patient through injury of the gastroduodenal mucosa. When the mucosa is visualised by scanning electron microscopy only 16 minutes after administration of aspirin, there is evidence of significant localised foci and damaged cells, compared with the normal mucosa.20 Indeed, approximately 20% of patients taking NSAIDs on a daily basis have erosions or ulcers when investigated by endoscopy.20

3. NSAIDs inhibit the COX enzyme, which exists in two forms
NSAID-mediated inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis is the central mechanism behind both the therapeutic and toxic activity of these drugs. Prostaglandins are synthesised through the action of the COX enzyme on the cell membrane constituent, arachidonic acid.2 COX exists in two forms; the COX-1 isoform is constitutively expressed in most tissues and is believed to have a ‘housekeeping’ role, producing prostaglandins that regulate normal cell activity. The COX-2 isoform is virtually undetectable in most tissues under normal physiological conditions, but can be induced in the presence of inflammation, tissue damage or malignant transformation.2–4 Prostaglandins produced by COX-2 are thought to be mediators of pain, inflammation and fever,2–4 and the anti-inflammatory effects of NSAIDs appear to be largely attributable to inhibition of COX-2.2–4 The cardioprotective effects of NSAIDs stem from inhibiting the COX-1-mediated synthesis of thromboxanes by platelets. Aspirin has the most pronounced anti-thrombotic effect of all NSAIDs as it irreversibly inhibits COX-1 in platelets.5
Gastric acid plays a central role in NSAID-associated gastroduodenal damage
For the present, the majority of patients requiring NSAID therapy will continue to be treated with non-selective NSAIDs. All of these can cause damage to the gastroduodenal mucosa systemically after they are absorbed, by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins.45 This, in turn, reduces the synthesis and secretion of bicarbonate and mucus, and impairs mucosal blood flow. In addition, NSAIDs can cause direct topical physicochemical disruption of the mucosa. The net effect is that NSAIDs impair the mucosal barrier to gastric acid, which, together with pepsin, exacerbates the initial damage, potentially resulting in deeper erosions and peptic ulceration. Gastric acid can also enhance the direct absorption of some NSAIDs into the gastric mucosal cells, where they may interfere with cell metabolism, have a toxic effect on the mitochondria and cause cell disruption.

All NSAIDs carry a risk of gastroduodenal side-effects
NSAIDs act by inhibiting the enzyme cyclo-oxygenase (COX), which is responsible for the production of prostaglandins, key mediators in the inflammatory process. In addition to the role that they play in pain and inflammation, prostaglandins are necessary for the maintenance of the gastroduodenal mucosal barrier. Consequently, all NSAIDs inevitably have the potential, in the presence of gastric acid, to disrupt the gastroduodenal mucosal barrier and cause upper gastrointestinal symptoms.
In a study in 1826 patients with osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis taking NSAIDs for at least 6 months or unable to tolerate continuous NSAID use because of adverse gastrointestinal symptoms, the incidence of endoscopically confirmed peptic ulcers ranged from 14.8% with fenoprofen to 43.9% with aspirin.21 A meta-analysis of controlled trials found the lowest risk of gastrointestinal complications with ibuprofen; this was attributed to the low doses of this agent normally used in clinical practice.22 The highest risks were seen with tolmetin, ketoprofen and piroxicam. However, the authors suggested that the risks associated with ‘low-risk’ NSAIDs such as diclofenac might disappear with increasing doses.
A prospective cohort study performed in the UK showed that the risk of gastrointestinal complications remained constant throughout NSAID treatment.23 Furthermore, the risk remained for at least 1 year after discontinuation of treatment.
