Abstract:
During autopsies on patients whose illnesses resulted in circulatory failure, we often observe irregular congestion and ecchymoses of duodenal mucosa with a maximum of changes on the tops of mucosal folds. A thorough histological examination of the duodenum of 35 such patients was made. In 28 cases apart from hyperemia, hemorrhage into tunica propria of the villi was found resembling the picture of minor hemorrhagic infarctions. Additionally, in 5 cases there were erosions present which resembled coagulation necrosis. Cuneiform infarctions penetrating into the submucosa were present in 3 cases. Changes described above appear as early manifestations of stress.

Peptic Ulcer Disease II: Pathophysiology
Damaging agents such as Helicobacter pylori, gastric acid, pepsin, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can weaken the mucosal defense, allowing hydrogen ions to infiltrate back and harm epithelial cells.

Peptic Ulcer Disease I: Introduction
An acute ulcer, marked by superficial erosion and minimal inflammation, swiftly resolves upon identifying and addressing the underlying cause. In contrast, a chronic ulcer persists, potentially eroding through the muscular wall and forming fibrous tissue.

In the antrum region, G cells secrete the gastrin hormone that binds to gastrin-cholecystokinin-B (CCK2) receptors on parietal and enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells in the fundic glands. Simultaneously, the vagus nerve releases acetylcholine, which binds to M3...
