"Background: Based on our knowledge, the study of gastrointestinal reflux disease (GERD) among certain profession has never been conducted. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence and risk factors of GERD among Indonesian doctors.Methods: A consecutive study involving 515 doctors was conducted in October 2015.The GerdQ score was used to the diagnosis of GERD and determined its impact on daily life. All possible risk factors were also analyzed.Results: A total of 515 subjects completed the questionnaire. The mean age of them was 41.37±11.92 years old. Fifty-five percent of them were male and 60.6% general practitioners. The prevalence of GERD was 27.4% of which 21.0% was had GERD with low impact on daily life, and 6.4% was GERD with high impact on daily life. The statistically significant risk factors of GERD was found in age >50 y.o (p = 0.002; OR 2.054), BMI >30kg/m2 (p = 0.016; OR 2.53), and smokers (p = 0.031; OR 1.982). Sex and education level were not found significant statistically as the risk factors of GERD.Conclusions: The prevalence of GERD among Indonesian physician was 27.4%. We found that age over 50 y.o, obesity and smoking habit were the risk factors of GERD in Indonesian doctors."

"Crolm's disease encompasses a spectrum of clinical and pathological patterns, affecting the gastrointestinal (GI) tract with potential systemic and extraintestinal complications. The disease can affect any age group, but the onset is most common in the second and third decade. Lower Gi bleeding is one of its clinical features. Surgical intervention is required in up to two-thirds of patients to treat intractable hemorrhage, perforation, obstruction or unresponsive fulminant disease.

We reported a case of Crohn's disease in young male who suffered from severe lower Gi bleeding (hematochezia) as the clinical features. Lower GI endoscopy revealed ulceration at the distal ileum surrounded by fibrotic tissue as a source of bleeding and a tumor mass at mesocolon. Upper GI endoscopy was unremarkable. Histopathologyc examination concluded multiple ulceration with chronic ischemic condition, appropriate to Crohn's disease. The patient underwent emergency surgical intervention (subtotal colectomy and ileustomy), and his condition was improved."
