Evaluation of celiac artery blood flow in children with chronic active gastritis

Purpose: Knowledge on gastric blood flow in children with chronic gastritis is scarce. In this study, we aimed to evaluate hemodynamic changes of the celiac artery (CA), in children with chronic gastritis assessed using trans-abdominal duplex Doppler ultrasonography. Materials and methods: We examined 36 children (group 1) with chronic active gastritis (diagnosed by endoscopy and histology) and 28 asymptomatic control children (group 2) with duplex Doppler ultrasonography. Children with chronic gastritis were classified again according to the severity of inflammation and the presence of Helicobacter pylori infection. Mean peak systolic velocity (PSV), enddiastolic velocity (EDV), resistive index (RI), and pulsatility index (PI) of the CA were compared. Results: The mean PSV and the mean EDV were significantly lower in patients than in controls (p

Kronik aktif gastritli çocuklarda çölyak arter kan akımının değerlendirilmesi

Amaç: Kronik gastritli çocuklarda mide kan akımı hakkında bilgi bulunmamaktadır. Bu çalışmada kronik gastritli çocuklarda transabdominal dupleks Doppler ultrasonografi ile çölyak arterin hemodinamik değişikliklerini değerlendirmeyi amaçladık. Gereç ve yöntem: Kronik aktif gastritli (endoskopi ve histoloji tanısı alan) 36 çocuğu (grup 1) ve 28 asemptomatik sağlıklı çocuğu (grup 2) dupleks Doppler ultrasonografi ile inceledik. Kronik gastritli çocuklar Helicobacter pylori enfeksiyonunun varlığına ve inflamasyonun şiddetine göre tekrar sınıflandırıldı. Çölyak arterin uç diyastolik hızı, ortalama pik sistolik hızı, pulsatilite indeksi ve rezistif indeksi karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Grup 1'de ortalama pulsatilite indeksi ve ortalama rezistif indeksi anlamlı olarak daha yüksekken (p
