Stock No. 817—005—00001-2 5V8099§r flubb SERIES NOTE Current Bibliographies in Medicine (CBM) is a continuation in part of the National Library of Medicine’s Literature Search Series, which ceased in 1987 with No. 87-15. In 1989 it also subsumed the Specialized Bibliography Series. Each bibliography in the new series covers a distinct subject area of biomedicine and is intended to fulfill a current awareness function. Citations are usually derived from searching a variety of online databases. NLM databases utilized include MEDLINE, AVLINE, BIOETHICSLINE, CANCERLIT, CATLINE, HEALTH, POPLINE, AND TOXLINE. The only criterion for the inclusion of a particular published work is its relevance to the topic being presented; the format, ownership, or location of the material is not considered. Comments and suggestions on this series may be addressed to: The Editor Current Bibliographies in Medicine Reference Section National Library of Medicine Bethesda, MD 20894 301/496-6097 Ordering Information: Current Bibliographies in Medicine is sold by the Superintendent of Documents, US.

THERAPEUTIC ENDOSCOPY AND BLEEDING ULCERS Upper gastrointestinal bleeding remains a common cause of emergency hospitalizations in the United States. It has been estimated that more than 100,000 patients a year bleed from peptic ulcer disease. Despite improvements in surgical and medical care in the past two decades, upper GI bleeding is a major clinical problem with significant morbidity and mortality. Fiberoptic endoscopy provides direct access to bleeding lesions and opportunity for treatment. Other techniques that show promise include laser photocoagulation, electrical coagulation, thermal coagulation with heater probe, and injection sclerotherapy. There is a great deal of controversy, however, concerning which of these techniques is most appropriate. This bibliography was prepared in support of the National Institutes of Health Consensus Development Conference titled Therapeutic Endoscopy and Bleeding Ulcers held in Bethesda, Maryland, on March 6-8, 1989. It consists of journal articles in all languages from 1980 to the present on endoscopy, duodenoscopy, gastroscopy, lasers, light coagulation, electrocoagulation, fiber optics, and sclerotherapy for nonvariceal gastrointestinal hemorrhage, stomach ulcer, duodenal ulcer, and peptic ulcer. Both human and animal studies are included. For the most part, citations have been limited to therapeutic use, although diagnostic use has been included when performed under emergency or intensive care situations or when large numbers of subjects are described. Arrangement of the bibliography is by twelve subject categories; a citation may appear in more than one. 3:?) 9:?) (-3 51") SEARCH STRATEGY A variety of online databases are usually searched in preparing bibliographies in the CBM series. To assist you in updating or otherwise manipulating the material in this search, the strategy used for the NLM’s MEDLINE database is given below. Please note that the search strategies presented here differ from individual demand searches in that they are generally broadly formulated and irrelevant citations edited out prior to printing. SS 1 = ENDOSCOPY OR DUODENOSCOPY OR GASTROSCOPY OR EHP (JC) SS 2=LASERSITU OR LASER SURGERY SS 3 = LIGHT COAGULATION OR ELECT ROCOAGULATION OR FIBER OPTICS SS 4= SCLEROSING SOLUTIONS/TU OR SCLEROTHERAPY (TW) SSS=IOR20R3OR4 SS 6 = STOMACH ULCER OR DUODENAL ULCER OR EXP PEPTIC ULCER SS 7 = EXP C23.542.516 SS 8 = EXP C6.405.348 SS 9 = 6 OR 7 OR 8 8810 = 5 AND 9 GRATEFUL MED To make online searching easier and more efficient, the Library offers GRATEFUL MED, microcomputer-based software that provides a user-friendly interface to most NLM databases. This software was specifically developed for health professionals and features multiple choice menus and "fill in the blank" screens for easy search preparation. GRATEFUL MED runs on an IBM PC (or IBM-compatible) with DOS 2.0 and a Hayes (or Hayes-compatible) modem. It may be purchased from the National Technical Information Service in Springfield, Virginia, for $29.95 (plus $3.00 per order for shipping). For your convenience, an order blank has been enclosed at the back of this bibliography. SAMPLE CITATION Citations in this bibliographic series are formatted according to the rules established for Index Medicus. A sample journal citation appears below. For journal articles written in a foreign language, the English translation of the title is placed in brackets and the language of publication is shown by a three letter abbreviation appearing at the end of the citation. Note also that a colon (z) may appear within an author’s name or article title. The NLM computer system automatically inserts this symbol in the place of a diacritical mark.
