Dear Sirs, Thank you for the invitation to comment on the articles published in the World Journal of Gastroenterology as a reader (Reader ID: 02531272), from the reader's perspective
Article: Drug-induced mucosal alterations observed during esophagogastroduodenoscopy
The authors of this article presented Drug-induced mucosal alterations observed during esophagogastroduodenoscopy in an extraordinary way, with a methodologically and statistically very acceptable choice of articles used in the content of this work, a clear and high-quality description of pathophysiological changes, clinical picture and endoscopic findings of certain diseases of the gastrointestinal tract caused by long-term use of certain drugs in immediate practice.
The so far little-known endoscopic changes in the use of Olmesartan, lanthanum carbonate, zinc acetate hydrate, and changes in the use of PPI drugs are particularly noteworthy.
Endoscopic images are carefully selected and clearly show pathological changes for each of the individual diseases caused by drugs, which is of particular importance.
In total, the article is of such professional and scientific quality that it is of great interest for the acquisition of new knowledge about gastrointestinal changes caused by drugs, starting from family medicine specialists, internists, gastroenterologists and endoscopists and other doctors who deal with this issue.
Yours sincerely
