Abstract:
We previously noted an extraordinarily high number of cases of primary gastric lymphoma (PGL) in northeastern Italy. We have now formally compared the incidence in Feltre, Italy, with that in three similar communities in the UK. Each community has a stable population served by a single endoscopy unit and histopathology laboratory. There were 13 times more cases of PGL in Feltre in 1986-91 than in the UK communities (66 vs 5 per 100,000 per 5 years). The incidence of gastric adenocarcinoma was also substantially higher in Feltre than in the UK (270 vs an average of 82 per 100,000 per 5 years), as was the prevalence of gastritis associated with Helicobacter pylori infection (87% of 1343 gastric biopsy samples in 1991).

Gastritis-I: Introduction and Types
Acute gastritis presents as a sudden inflammation triggered by various stressors to the stomach lining, such as exposure to corrosive agents, local irritants like aspirin and other NSAIDs, alcohol consumption, radiation therapy, physical trauma, severe burns, sepsis,...
Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...
Gastritis III: Clinical Manifestations and Management
Clinical manifestations of acute gastritis
The patient with acute gastritis may have a rapid onset of symptoms, such as epigastric pain or discomfort, dyspepsia, anorexia, hiccups, or nausea and vomiting, which can last from a few hours to a few days. Erosive or hemorrhagic gastritis may cause bleeding, which may manifest as blood in vomit or as...
