    Abstract Gastric lipomas are rare tumours accounting for 2-3% of all benign gastric tumours. These are usually submucosal in origin but in rare cases may be subserosal in origin. Although a majority of gastric lipomas are asymptomatic and usually detected incidentally, occasionally these can cause abdominal pain, dyspeptic disorders, obstruction, invagination and haemorrhages. In the literature, only 200 cases of gastric lipomas have been reported so far. We report a case of a 56-year-old female with a submucosal symptomatic gastric lipoma presenting with disabling dyspeptic symptoms.

    Abstract A 25-year-old male presented with hematemesis, epigastric pain, and melena. He had dyspepsia with significant weight loss for 3 months period. On clinical examination, he was pale with no organomegaly or lymphadenopathy. The X-ray chest was normal, and ultrasound abdomen was normal. Upper GI endoscopy revealed nodularity and ulceration along proximal part of lesser curvature of the stomach. CT scan abdomen showed thickening of lesser curvature just below gastro-esophageal junction. The biopsies were negative for malignancy. Repeat upper GI endoscopy showed a nonhealing ulcer, on repeat well biopsies taken from the base of ulcer primary gastric tuberculosis was diagnosed. It showed many epithelioid cell granulomas and multinucleated giant cells with caseous necrosis on histology. Acid-fast bacilli on Zeil Neelsen staining and TB PCR were positive for Mycobacterium tuberculosis. He was put on four-drug anti-tuberculous treatment. On follow-up, the patient gradually improved and regained weight. Repeat upper GI endoscopy done after 8 weeks showed healing of the ulcer with decrease in nodularity.

    Abstract Introduction: Computed Tomography of abdomen frequently shows bowel wall thickening with different grades and characteristic of thickening. The correlation of bowel wall thickening (BWT) with endoscopic findings is not well described in Indian population. Therefore we did this study to determine the correlation of BWT with endoscopic findings.
    Methods: Its Prospective single center study with 85 Consecutive patients with age group more than 12 years with CT scan abdomen showing bowel wall thickening were included in the study. Colonoscopy was done subsequently within a span of 15 days with appropriate bowel preparation. Colonoscopic correlation was done in relation to site, degree and characteristic of thickening. Biopsies were taken at the site of visible abnormalities on endoscopy and from normal appearing mucosa in case of strong suspicious of disease.
    Results: Total of 85 (37 men) consecutive symptomatic patients with colonic wall thickening on computed tomography underwent colonoscopy. The mean age group was 34.2 (SD±17.35) years. Endoscopy was normal in 20 patients (24%) and abnormal in 65 patients (76.5%). Patients with mild thickening were more likely to have normal endoscopy than those with moderate/severe thickening (19 versus 1 patient; p<0.001). The abnormality rate was similar across different bowel segments (left vs right side; 85.7% versus 76.5%, p< 0.57). Out of 65 patients with endoscopic abnormality, 41 (62.12%) had tuberculosis, 10 (15.16%) had malignancy. Most common cause of IC thickening was secondary to tuberculosis (n=40, 95.2%).
    Conclusion: A proportion of patients with thickening on CT scan, especially mild, may have normal colonoscopy. Patients should be counseled about the same prior to colonoscopy. However, colonoscopy should be done to rule out abnormality even when CT shows mild thickening.

    Abstract Introduction and aim: Considered as a healthcare quality indicator, hospital readmissions in decompensated cirrhosis predispose the patients and the society to physical, social and economic distresses. Few studies involving North American cohorts have identified different predictors. The aim of this study was to determine and validate the predictors of 1-month and 3-months readmission in an Asian cohort.
    Material and methods: We prospectively studied 281 hospitalised patients with decompensated cirrhosis at a large tertiary care public hospital in India between August 2014 and August 2016 and followed them for 3 months. Data regarding demographic, laboratory and disease related risk factors were compiled. We used multivariate logistic regression to determine predictors of readmission at 1-month and 3-months and receiver operating curves (ROC) for significant predictors to obtain the best cut-offs.
    Results: 1-month and 3-months readmission rates in our study were 27.8% and 42.3%, respectively. Model for End stage Liver Disease (MELD) score at discharge (OR:1.24, p < 0.001) and serum sodium (OR:0.94, p-0.039) independently predicted 1-month and MELD score (OR:1.11, p-0.003), serum sodium (OR:0.94, p-0.027) and male gender (OR:2.19, p-0.008) independently predicted 3-months readmissions. Neither aetiology nor complications of cirrhosis emerged as risk factors. MELD score >14 at discharge and serum sodium < 133 mEq/L best predicted readmissions; MELD score being a better predictor than serum sodium (p - 0.0001).
    Conclusions: High rates of early and late readmissions were found in our study. Further, this study validated readmission predictors in Asian patients. Structured interventions targeting this risk factors may diminish readmissions in decompensated cirrhosis.

    Abstract Aim: The aims of the study were to determine the levels of serum ferritin which predict fibrosis in Indian patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and to establish correlation between Fibroscan values and serum ferritin levels.
    Methods: The clinical, biochemical, radiologic, and histological findings of consecutive adult NAFLD patients accessed at a tertiary care center over a 3-year period were analyzed. Those with concurrent liver diseases were excluded. Fifty-five of 250 NAFLD patients with fatty liver on ultrasound and raised enzymes (>40 IU/L) underwent liver biopsy. Patients were stratified into two groups based on their histological stage steatosis (with or without inflammation) but no fibrosis and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) with fibrosis/cirrhosis. Serum ferritin levels were measured at the same time as getting liver biopsy. Fibroscan was carried out in each of these patients. These were compared with 50 age- and sex-matched controls with normal ultrasound, liver enzymes, and no history of alcohol. Student's t test was used as the test for significance.
    Results: Fifty-five NAFLD patients diagnosed on ultrasound and with raised enzymes underwent biopsy. Steatosis (with or without inflammation, but no fibrosis/ballooning) was seen in 35 patients, fibrosis/ballooning in 14 patients, and cirrhosis in 6 patients. Mean ferritin levels in groups with nonalcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) were 39.4 and 72.7 ng/mL, respectively (p < 0.001). The mean ferritin levels in NAFLD and controls were 51.2 and 35.2 ng/mL, respectively (p < 0.05). The area under the curve (AUC) of serum ferritin at value 48.0 ng/mL was 0.779. The coefficient of correlation between Fibroscan and serum ferritin levels was 0.9864 while that with alanine transaminase and aspartate aminotransferase was 0.69. Serum ferritin at the cutoff of 48 ng/mL differentiated significantly patients with fibrosis and higher Fibroscan levels.
    Conclusion: Serum ferritin was low in Indian individuals, and levels even within apparently normal range indicated fibrosis and cirrhosis. A cutoff level of 48.0 IU/mL distinguished fibrosis in NAFLD. Fibroscan correlated well with serum ferritin levels.

    Abstract The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of hypothyroidism in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The patients visiting Gastroenterology outpatient clinic between September 2011 and September 2013 at our tertiary care center were investigated for NAFLD. Three hundred controls were selected on the basis of negative ultrasound examination. All patients above 18 years were included. All patients with alcohol intake greater than 20 g/day, HBsAg or anti-HCV positivity, and history of liver disease were excluded. Full thyroid profile was carried out in all patients and they were classified as follows: subclinical hypothyroidism (TSH >5.5 IU/mL but <10 IU/mL) and overt hypothyroidism (TSH >10 IU/mL). Eight hundred (500 NAFLD and 300 controls) patients were studied. The mean age of NAFLD patients was 44.3 years and of controls was 41.6 years, respectively. The female-to-male ratio of NAFLD patients was 1.8:1 and of controls was 1.94:1, respectively (p>0.05). Hypothyroidism was significantly more common in NAFLD patients compared to controls. Eighty-four patients were detected to have hypothyroidism in NAFLD group compared to only four patients in control group (p<0.001). Mean ALT (55 vs. 21 IU), AST (44 vs. 18 IU), and BMI (29.17 vs. 25.14 kg/m2) were significantly higher in NAFLD hypothyroid group compared to nonhypothyroid NAFLD. Multivariate regression analysis showed that NAFLD was statistically significantly associated with hypothyroidism [odds ratio (OR) 14.94, 95 % confidence interval (CI), 3.5 to 62.6]. Steatohepatitis was more common in hypothyroid as compared to nonhypothyroid group [OR 3.9, 1.2 to 11.1 (95 % CI)]. The prevalence of hypothyroidism in NAFLD was 16.8 %. Hypothyroidism was closely associated with NAFLD independently of known metabolic risk factors, confirming a significant clinical relationship between these two diseases.

    Abstract Introduction: Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is a frequent and severe complication in cirrhotic patients with ascites. SBP is generally diagnosed based on an increased number of polymorphonuclear neutrophils in the ascitic fluid (>250/mm
    Aims and objectives: Aim was to evaluate the diagnostic utility of leukocyte esterase reagent strip for rapid diagnosis of SBP in patients who underwent abdominal paracentesis and to calculate the sensitivity, specificity, positive, and negative predictive values.
    Methodology: The study was carried out on 64 patients with ascites. Cell count of AF as determined by colorimetric scale of Multistix 10 SG reagent strip was compared with counting chamber method (PMNL count ≥250 cells/mm
    Results: Of the 64 patients SBP was diagnosed in 17 patients, 47 patients were negative for SBP by manual cell count. At cut off of 2+; sensitivity to diagnose SBP was 100%; specificity of 94%; PPV being 57% and NPV of 94%. at the cut off level of 3+; sensitivity decreased down to 76%; specificity increased to 100%; PPV of 100% and NPV of 93.75%. Overall accuracy at 2 + and 3 + was respectively 94.5% and 93.75%.
    Conclusion: In this study we have found good sensitivity and specificity for the prompt detection of elevated polymorphonuclear neutrophil count. A negative test result excludes SBP with a high degree of certainty. Thus, it represents a convenient, inexpensive, simple bedside screening tool for SBP diagnosis.
