Approach to Management of Upper Gastrointestinal (GI) BleedingArun Vasireddy
Upper gastrointestinal bleeding is gastrointestinal bleeding in the upper gastrointestinal tract, commonly defined as bleeding arising from the esophagus, stomach, or duodenum. Blood may be observed in vomit (hematemesis) or in altered form in the stool (melena). Depending on the severity of the blood loss, there may be symptoms of insufficient circulating blood volume and shock. As a result, upper gastrointestinal bleeding is considered a medical emergency and typically requires hospital care for urgent diagnosis and treatment. Upper gastrointestinal bleeding can be caused by peptic ulcers, gastric erosions, esophageal varices, and some rarer causes such as gastric cancer.
The initial assessment includes measurement of the blood pressure and heart rate, as well as blood tests to determine hemoglobin concentration. In significant bleeding, fluid replacement is often required, as well as blood transfusion, before the source of bleeding can be determined by endoscopy of the upper digestive tract with an esophagogastroduodenoscopy. Depending on the source, endoscopic therapy can be applied to reduce rebleeding risk. Specific medical treatments (such as proton pump inhibitors for peptic ulcer disease) or procedures (such as TIPS for variceal hemorrhage) may be used. Recurrent or refractory bleeding may lead to need for surgery, although this has become uncommon as a result of improved endoscopic and medical treatment.

Lymphoscintigraphy As an Imaging Modality in Lymphatic SystemApollo Hospitals
Lymphedema is a chronic debilitating disease that results from chronic lymphatic insufficiency. Lymphoscintigraphy forms an authentic yet simple diagnostic and screening procedure in patients with preclinical and clinical lymphedema of different etiologies. Our study population consisted of 540 patients with diagnosed lymphedema of different etiologies and grading. Here we highlight our experience of lymphoscintigraphy in different clinical situations and staging of lymphedema. Lymphoscintigraphy is a simple, noninvasive procedure, which documents clinical diagnosis and guides the management of Lymphedema

2. Basic anatomy
The primary function of the lower limbs is
to support the weight of the body and to
provide a stable foundation in
standing, walking, and running; they have
become specialized for locomotion.
The lower limbs are divided into the
gluteal region, the thigh, the knee, the
leg, the ankle, and the foot.
3. Swelling
Swelling is the enlargement of a body part
or organ beyond it normal size and usually
causing a distortion of the shape and
structure of the affected area.
Fluid
Gas
Mass
4. The swollen leg
Swelling is a sign for many conditions
affect the human body .
These conditions could be vascular or non
vascular .
It could be unilateral or bilateral .
5. Non vascular or lymphatic
General disease states :
Cardiac failure from any cause .
Liver failure .
Hypoproteinaemia due to nephrotic
syndrome, malabsorption, protein-losing
enteropathy
Hypothyroidism (myxoedema)
Allergic disorders, including angioedema and
idiopathic cyclic oedema
Prolonged immobility and lower limb dependency
6. Non vascular or lymphatic
Local disease processes :
Ruptured Baker’s cyst
Myositis ossificans
Bony or soft-tissue tumours
Arthritis
Haemarthrosis
Calf muscle haematoma
Achilles tendon rupture
Cellulitis
Athlete’s foot
7. Non vascular or lymphatic
Retroperitoneal fibrosis May lead to arterial, venous and lymphatic
abnormalities
Gigantism: Rare
All tissues are uniformly enlarged
Drugs : Corticosteroids, oestrogens, progestagens
Monoamine oxidase
inhibitors, phenylbutazone, methyldopa, hydralazine, nifedipine
Trauma : Painful swelling due to reflex sympathetic dystrophy
Obesity : Lipodystrophy
Lipoidosis
16. Idiopathic edema
diopathic edema is a pitting edema of unknown cause that
occurs primarily in pre-menopausal women who do not have
evidence of heart, liver, or kidney disease. In this condition, the
fluid retention at first may be seen primarily pre-menstrually
(just prior to menstruation), which is why it sometimes is called
"cyclical" edema. However, it can become a more constant and
severe problem. Obesity and depression can be associated with
this syndrome, and diuretic abuse is common
Spironolactone is considered the drug of choice for idiopathic
edema
avoiding environmental heat, low salt diet, avoiding excessive
fluid intake, and weight loss for obese patients. It may be
helpful to ask about depression, eating disorder
17. Venous insufficiency
Venous insufficiency is characterized by chronic pitting edema,
often associated with brown hemosiderin skin deposits on the
lower legs. The skin changes can progress to dermatitis and
ulceration, which usually occur over the medial maleoli. Other
common findings include varicose veins and obesity. Most patients
are asymptomatic but a sensation of aching or heaviness can
occur. The diagnosis is usually made clinically but can be
confirmed with a Doppler study. Although chronic venous
insufficiency is thought to result from previous deep vein
thrombosis, only one third of patients will give that history
compression stockings
25. History
Key elements of the history include
What is the duration of the edema (acute [<72 hours] vs. chronic)? If the onset is acute,
deep vein thrombosis should be strongly considered.
Is the edema painful ? Deep vein thrombosis and reflex sympathetic dystrophy are usually
painful. Chronic venous insufficiency can cause low-grade aching. Lymphedema is usually
painless.
What drugs are being taken? Calcium channel blockers, prednisone, and anti-inflammatory
drugs are common causes of leg edema
Is there a history of systemic disease (heart, liver, or kidney disease)?
27. Physical Examination
Body mass index. Obesity
Distribution of edema
Tenderness
Pitting
Varicose veins
Kaposi-Stemmer sign
Skin changes
Signs of systemic disease: findings of heart failure (especially jugular
venous distension and lung crackles) and liver disease (ascites, spider
hemangiomas, and jaundice) may be helpful in detecting a systemic cause.
28. Kaposi-Stemmer sign: inability to pinch a fold of skin at base of
second toe because of thickened skin indicates lymphoedema
31. Varicose veins
Clinical presentation :
Local pain and edema
Local inflammation
Local hemorrhage into
the surrounding tissue
Dilated superficial veins

36. Definition
Lymphedema may be defined as abnormal limb swelling caused
by the accumulation of increased amounts of high protein ISF
secondary to defective lymphatic drainage in the presence of
(near) normal net capillary filtration.
At birth, 1 in 6000 persons will develop lymphoedema
37. Classification
Two main types of lymphoedema are recognised:
1 primary lymphoedema, in which the cause is unknown (or at
least uncertain and unproven); it is thought to be caused by
congenital lymphatic dysplasia
2 secondary or acquired lymphoedema, in which there is a clear
underlying cause.
38. primary lymphoedema
Three types of primary lymphedema are distinguished by
age of onset.
Congenital lymphedema is present at birth or occurs
early in infancy.
It accounts for fewer than 10% of primary
lymphedema cases.
Lymphedema that is both congenital and
hereditary is known as Milroy's disease.
Lymphedema praecox occurs at any time from puberty
until the end of the third decade.
Most cases of primary lymphedema are of this
type.
It is three times more common in women than in
men.
Lymphedema tarda occurs after age 30.
39. secondary lymphoedema
Secondary lymphedema is due to obstruction from a variety of causes,
including infection, parasites, mechanical injury (including surgery),
postphlebitic syndrome, and neoplasms.
In developed countries, the most common causes are obstruction by
malignancies, postsurgical lymphedema (e.g., after mastectomy), and
lymphatic destruction from therapeutic radiation.
In less well-developed countries, parasitic obstruction (elephantiasis)
is a common cause. Wuchereria bancrofti is the most common
offending parasite.

44. Filariasis
This is the most common cause of lymphoedema worldwide,
affecting up to 100 million individuals. It is particularly prevalent
in Africa, India and South America where 5–10% of the
population
may be affected. The viviparous nematode Wucheria bancrofti,
whose only host is man, is responsible for 90% of cases and is
spread by the mosquito.
The disease is associated with poor sanitation.
The parasite enters lymphatics from the blood and lodges
in lymph nodes, where it causes fibrosis and obstruction
