Use the fоllоwing vignette tо аnswer questions 5 аnd 6. A 52-yeаr-old man is evaluated for a 6-month history of postprandial fullness, early satiety, vomiting, and epigastric discomfort. He has had these symptoms intermittently for the last 5 years, but for the past 6 months, they have occurred with nearly every meal. The symptoms tend to be much worse with large meals, especially dinner. The discomfort is described as a burning sensation that is located in the epigastrium. The patient does not have recent weight loss, dysphagia, odynophagia, or blood in his stool. The patient reports several episodes of vomiting associated with his symptoms, including one recent episode of hematemesis. He otherwise feels well. Medical history is unremarkable and he currently takes no medications. Physical examination findings, including vital signs and abdominal exam, are normal. A complete blood count is normal. 6. Given the patient's symptoms, which of the following is the next most appropriate diagnostic approach?
Use the fоllоwing vignette tо аnswer questions 3 аnd 4. A 35-yeаr-old woman is evaluated for a 10-month history of intense abdominal pain and bloating after eating. Her discomfort was initially intermittent, but during the last 5 months, it has been present with every meal, lasting approximately 1 hour before resolving. When asked to identify where she feels bloating, she points to her mid-epigastric region. Eating smaller meals decreases the intensity and duration of the discomfort. She denies having pain or difficulty when swallowing, heartburn, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation. Calcium carbonate antacids (Rolaids) do not relieve her symptoms. The patient smokes cigarettes but denies drinking alcoholic beverages. She has gained approximately 9 kg (20 lb) over the past year. Medical history is otherwise unremarkable, and she takes no medications. On physical examination, vital signs are normal. Body mass index is 32. Palpation reveals tenderness in the epigastric section of the abdomen, both upper left and right quadrant. Auscultation of the abdomen reveals normal bowel sounds. No bruits are detected. The remainder of the physical examination is within normal limits. A complete blood count is normal. 3. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis?
