Research papers

Dr. V.G. Mohan Prasad has made significant contributions to the fields of gastroenterology and hepatology, with extensive research on a variety of gastrointestinal diseases and liver-related conditions. His work on pyogenic liver abscesses in tropical countries, intestinal parasites identified through capsule endoscopy, and ERCP in situs inversus has helped enhance diagnostic and treatment strategies. Additionally, his research on cyanoacrylate glue therapy and self-expandable metallic stents has provided valuable insights into managing complications like gastrointestinal bleeding and postoperative strictures. Dr. Prasad's recent studies on fatty liver treatment with essential phospholipids and the challenges of chronic constipation in diabetic patients further reflect his commitment to advancing medical care. His work on innovative techniques, such as endoscopic collagen spray for peptic ulcer bleeding and motorized spiral enteroscopy for small bowel examination, exemplifies his leadership in endoscopic innovations. In the field of hepatology, Dr. Prasad has contributed to studies on hepatitis C genotyping, the use of Shanferon in chronic hepatitis B treatment, and understanding the regional distribution of hepatitis C viral genotypes in India. His research continues to influence public health initiatives, improve clinical outcomes, and shape the future of gastroenterology and hepatology.
