Item Achalasia cardia dilatation using polyethylene balloon (Rigiflex) dilators.(1996-04-01) Bhatnagar, M S; Nanivadekar, S A; Sawant, P; Rathi, P MOBJECTIVE: Results of 20 dilatation sessions in 15 patients with achalasia cardia were assessed to determine the safety and efficacy of polyethylene balloon achalasia dilators (Rigiflex). METHODS: All patients underwent an initial dilatation by inflating a 30 mm balloon to 9 psi for one minute. Need for subsequent dilatations was assessed on symptom assessment; 35 mm balloon was used for repeat procedure. RESULTS: Overall success rate was 93.3%. The 30 mm balloon achieved a satisfactory result in 73.3% and the 35 mm balloon in 75% of the remainder. Only one patient needed surgery. No short-term complications were observed. The only late complication encountered over an average follow-up period of 16.2 months was gastroesophageal reflux in two patients. CONCLUSIONS: Dilatation using Rigiflex dilators is a safe, effective and simple procedure for treating patients with achalasia.Item Acute Campylobacter jejuni enteritis in 385 hospitalised patients.(1992-03-01) Bichile, L S; Saraswati, K; Popat, U R; Nanivadekar, S A; Deodhar, L PTwenty healthy controls and 385 adult patients suffering from acute enteritis or gastroenteritis were enrolled for the study of Campylobacter Jejuni infection over a period of 2 years. Thirty five stool samples showed C jejuni on stool culture. The isolation rates were at peak in the monsoon season and from watery and bloody stool specimens. Pure C jejuni culture was obtained in 18 of 35 samples; the other 17 samples showed polymicrobial infection or infestation. Nine of 35 patients were treated with erythromycin 1 g in divided doses for 7 days. Repeat stool cultures did not grow C jejuni. There was no resistance to erythromycin therapy. C jejuni are fastidious organisms and require special medium and microaerophilic environment for culture.Item Acute reversible cerebellar signs after Diazinon poisoning.(1983-11-01) Bichile, L S; Kuloor, P L; Hegde, A V; Nanivadekar, S AItem The aetiology of peptic ulcer--"debugging" an enigma and its impact on therapy.(1990-09-01) Nanivadekar, S AItem Association of Campylobacter pylori with gastritis, duodenal ulcer and gastric ulcer--a preliminary report of dyspeptic patients.(1988-07-01) Nanivadekar, S A; Sawant, P D; Saraswathi, K; Shroff, C P; Bichile, L S; Patel, H D; Shroff, D SItem Association of multiple gastric carcinoids with adenomas.(1994-07-01) Sawant, P D; Nanivadekar, S A; Kanakia, R R; Rajagopalan, K; Desai, D C; Deodhar, K P; Nadkarni, S PItem Association of peptic ulcer with Helicobacter pylori and the recurrence rate. A three year follow-up study.(1990-09-01) Nanivadekar, S A; Sawant, P D; Patel, H D; Shroff, C P; Popat, U R; Bhatt, P PHelicobacter pylori is associated with 70-100% of peptic ulcers. Relapse of infection has been shown to cause recurrences of ulcers in a large number of studies. We diagnosed 137 cases of peptic ulcer (121 DU; 16 GU) during a 3 year period. Of these, 117 were positive for H pylori. Sixty six of the 117 cases staying in the vicinity of the Hospital were followed up for a minimum period of 3 months upto a maximum period of 3 years. In 91 examinations there was relapse of H pylori infection and ulcer recurrence was seen in 58 (63%), whereas ulcer recurred only in 6 out of 61 examinations where H pylori had not relapsed (10%). The difference was highly significant by Chi square test. (P less than 0.001).Item Asymptomatic spinal tuberculosis presenting as esophageal stricture.(1996-04-01) Bhatnagar, M S; Nanivadekar, S A; Sawant, P; Rathi, P M; Upadhyay, A PEsophageal tuberculosis is rare and is usually due to secondary extension from contiguous structures. We report a patient who presented with dysphagia and was found to have esophageal stricture. Endoscopic biopsy was not suggestive of malignancy or tuberculosis. CT scan of the thorax revealed involvement of the fourth thoracic vertebra with paratracheal lymphadenopathy. The patient responded to anti-tubercular therapy.Item Bernard-Soulier syndrome presenting as recurrent exsanguinating haematemesis.(1986-04-01) Suhasini, G; Nanivadekar, S A; Sawant, P D; Agarwal, M B; Bichile, L S; Bavdankar, P YItem Bismuth compounds in the treatment of peptic ulcer: a review.(1990-09-01) Nanivadekar, S AItem Broken cardiac catheter--successful removal from the heart under emergency cardiopulmonary bypass with concommittant closure of an atrial septal defect.(1972-10-01) Panday, S R; Nanivadekar, S A; Chaukar, A P; Kelkar, M D; Kale, P AItem Campylobacter jejuni infection in a general hospital.(1987-10-01) Bichile, L S; Saraswati, K; Agarwal, R N; Nanivadekar, S AItem Carcinoid tumor of lung with haemorrhagic pleural effusion and extensive metastasis.(1984-01-01) Bichile, L S; Pandit, S P; Kuloor, P L; Abhyankar, S C; Hegde, A; Nanivadekar, S AItem Carcinoma of stomach in childhood.(1988-10-01) Vishwanathan, C; Varty, P P; Nanivadekar, S A; Popat, U R; Changlani, T TItem Choriocarcinoma presenting as acute abdomen.(1985-04-01) Shroff, C P; Roy, S; Nanivadekar, S A; Deodhar, K PItem Comparative frequency of duodenal and gastric ulcers in Bombay.(1984-04-01) Nanivadekar, S A; Tandon, N H; Kuloor, P L; Bichile, L S; Tahiliani, R R; Vijan, V; Sahu, C PItem Comparison of gastric mucosal blood flow in normal subjects and in patients with portal hypertension using endoscopic laser-Doppler velocimetry.(1995-07-01) Sawant, P; Bhatia, R; Kulhalli, P M; Mahajani, S S; Nanivadekar, S AOBJECTIVE: To compare gastric mucosal blood flow (GMBF) in normal subjects with that in patients with portal hypertension with or without portal hypertensive gastropathy (PHG). METHODS: GMBF was measured by endoscopic laser-Doppler velocimetry in 20 gastroscopically normal subjects and 30 patients with portal hypertension with or without PHG. The effects of breath-holding (vasomotor reflex), submucosal epinephrine and sublingual isosorbide dinitrate were also studied. RESULTS: In normal subjects, GMBF on the greater curvature was (mean +/- SD) 9.5 +/- 1.3 V and on the lesser curvature, 9.1 +/- 1.9 V. Breath-holding caused a reduction in GMBF by 57.1 +/- 13.7%, submucosal epinephrine reduced it by 41.5 +/- 21.5% and sublingual isosorbide caused a rise of 25.8 +/- 15.2%. The GMBF on the greater and lesser curvature respectively in patients with mild PHG (7.7 +/- 1.2 V and 7.7 +/- 0.8 V) and those with severe PHG (6.5 +/- 3.5 V and 6.3 +/- 2.2 V), was significantly less than that in normal subjects (p < 0.05 and p < 0.001 respectively). Vasomotor reflex was blunted in patients with mild and severe PHG (23.3% +/- 20.3 and 23.1% +/- 17.7 respectively, p < 0.001). Responses to submucosal epinephrine and sublingual isosorbide were similar to those recorded in normal subjects. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with portal hypertension have significantly reduced GMBF and significantly attenuated vasomotor reflex in the gastric vascular bed as compared to normal subjects.Item A comparison of two dosage regimens of pirenzepine versus cimetidine in endoscopically diagnosed duodenal ulcer.
