| This 3D medical animation shows an upper GI (gastrointestinal) endoscopy procedure to diagnose the presence of helicobacter pylori causing a stomach (gastric) ulcer. The animation also includes the treatment of a bleeding ulcer using endoscopic tools
Upper (GI) gastrointestinal endoscopy procedure
Gastroenterology (MeSH heading)[1] is the branch of medicine whereby the digestive system and its disorders are studied. Etymologically, the name is a combination of three Ancient Greek words gastros (stomach), enteron (intestine), and logos (reason).
Diseases affecting the gastrointestinal tract, which includes the organs from mouth to anus, along the alimentary canal, are the focus of this specialty. Physicians practicing in this field of medicine are called gastroenterologists. Important advances have been made in the last fifty years, contributing to rapid expansion of its scope. |

Abstract |
| |
| Gastroenterology, also known as gastrology, is a specialized medicinal field, concerned with the human digestive system. This branch focuses on the study, functioning and disorders affecting the stomach, esophagus, intestines, and many associated organs including the pancreas, liver, and gallbladder. It is perhaps considered one of the youngest disciplines among the subspecialties of internal medicine. As this branch is too broad, many doctors specialize in treating disorders of the digestive system. |

Results |
|
| Diagnostic procedures comprise colonoscopy, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) hagogastroduodenoscopy, endoluminal gastroplication, liver biopsy, esophageal manometry, flexible sigmoidoscopy, and bronchoscopy. |
|
Discussions |
| |
| Esophageal function testing, Gastroduodenal manometry, Pancreatic function test, Gastric acid analysis, Colonic transit testing, and Barostat testing are a few among the laboratory tests for gastroenterology.
Along with antibiotics and medications, a combination of proper attention to diet and life style are needed to reduce the symptoms of gastroenterology. |
