We encourage researchers, and other clinical and health professionals Worldwide to submit their manuscripts describing their original basic or clinical research findings and new diagnostic techniques to the Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology Research.

Gastroenterology

Gastroenterology is the branch of medicine which deals with the study of digestive system and diseases of the related organs. It involves detailed understanding of the physiology and functioning of the gastrointestinal organs. Diseases affecting gastrointestinal tract are the major focus of Gastroenterology. Hepatology is the study of liver, pancreas and biliary tract are considered as sub-specialty in this study.

Hepatology

Hepatology is the sub specialty in Gastroenterology which deals with the study, analysis, prevention and administration of ailments that influence Liver. Liver is the vital organ which plays a major role in metabolism. Liver is highly specialized and regulates a wide range of high volume biochemical reactions. Liver weighs about 1.44-1.66 kgs located at upper right quadrant of abdominal cavity and rests below diaphragm to the right of the stomach and overlies the gallbladder.

Gastric Cancer

The third most common cause of cancer-related death globally is gastric cancer, which remains difficult to treat in Western countries, mainly because most patients present with advanced disease. Cancers of the abdomen are the fifteenth most prevalent in the USA. The abdomen begins at the internal organ junction and ends at the small intestine. Almost all viscus cancers are adenocarcinomas (cancers that begin in cells that secrete mucous and produce other fluids). Alternative types of viscus cancer ar duct neoplasm tumors, duct stromal tumors, and lymphomas. Infection with a microorganism known as H. pylori may be a common reason for viscus cancer.

Endoscopy

Endoscopy is a procedure that looks inside your stomach. It uses an instrument called an endoscope, or scope for short. Scopes have a camera attached to a long, thin tube. The doctor moves it through a body passageway or opening to see inside an organ. Sometimes scopes are used for surgery, such as for removing polyps from the colon.

Gastrointestinal Surgery

The digestive system is a complex mechanism that can be harmed by illness, poor food, and psychological stress. While some digestive issues can be treated with medication and dietary adjustments, others need for surgery. The body needs the digestive system to help it digest and assimilate meals. The mouth, oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, also known as the colon, rectum, and anus are all parts of the gastrointestinal (GI) system.

Gastrointestinal Pharmacology

Diseases of the digestive tract that need medicine management, sometimes together with different treatments, square measure peptic ulcers (omeprazole and others), hurting (laxatives, analgesics), looseness of the bowels (antibiotics, protectants and absorbents, glucocorticoids, motility inhibitors), reperfusion injury, operative enteropathy (prokinetic drugs), and adhesions. There's growing proof that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug medicine will alter vital physiological properties of the intestine; but, these medicine square measure valuable medicines for horses and their use ought to be tempered with an awareness of their harmful effects.

Gastrointestinal Bleeding

Acute gastrointestinal bleeding is still a standard reason for hospitalization for abdominal emergencies. UGIB is hemorrhage originating from a supply proximal to the ligament of Treitz. Hemorrhages in the upper GI tract originate in the passageway, stomach, or small intestine (first segment of the tiny intestine). Higher GI hemorrhage is most commonly caused by: a. Peptic ulcers b. Gastritis.

Gastrointestinal Inflammation

The term inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) describes a group of disorders in which the intestines become inflamed. The most likely cause is an immune reaction against its own intestinal tissue. Two major types of IBD are ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. There are other, less common types of IBD called collagenous colitis and lymphocytic colitis. The inflammation can only be seen using a microscope, and is known as microscopic colitis.

Digestive Enzymes

Digestive enzymes are found within the organic process tracts of animals and humans and within the traps of carnivorous plants. They aid food digestion, similarly as within cells, particularly in their lysosomes, wherever they perform to keep up cellular survival. Digestive enzymes are diverse and are found in the saliva secreted by the salivary glands, in the stomach secreted by cells lining the stomach, in the pancreatic juice secreted by pancreatic exocrine cells, and in the intestinal (small and large) secretions, or as part of the gastrointestinal tract lining.

Gastrointestinal Hormones

GI hormones are chemical messengers that regulate several physiological functions of the canal, including secretion, absorption and digestion, and gut motility. GI hormones are an enlarged family of peptides secreted by endocrine cells found throughout the GI tissue layer and exocrine gland. Gastrin, secretin, and cholecystokinin (CCK) were the primary discovered gut hormones, and as of nowadays, there are over fifty gut internal secretion genes and a large number of bioactive peptides.

Intestinal Blockage

When there is no passageway for food or digested food to move through the bowel or intestine, an obstruction occurs. It can happen anywhere in the small or large intestine, and it can be partial or complete. Intestinal obstruction occurs when you’re tiny or gut is obstructed. The obstruction prevents fluid or digestible food from passing through. The blockage can also be partial or complete.

Epigastric Pain

Epigastric pain is pain that is restricted to the upper abdomen, just below the ribs. People who have experienced this type of pain frequently feel it throughout or immediately after consumption, or if they lie early on during consumption. It is a common symptom of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It is likely caused by stomach contents moving upward into the back of the throat, causing inflammation and burning pain.

Gall Bladder

Essentially, the bladder is a pear-shaped pouch that houses the bile (a liquid created by the liver to assist digest fatty foods). Nonetheless, the person will feel discomfort if one of the bile ducts—the tubes that carry bile from the liver to the bladder and from the bladder to the epithelial duct-becomes blocked with sludge or gallstones, infected, or irritated. Many ailments are connected to bladder pain.

Gastrointestinal Radiology

The throat, oesophagus, stomach, duodenum, intestine, colon, and biliary system are among the organs image investigations of the tract are performed and interpreted by radiologists in the channel's Radiology Section. Esophagram, upper gastrointestinal series, small internal organ series, enteroclysis, and both a regular and air-contrast enema are some of the specific procedures carried out. During this portion, plain abdominal films are taken.
