[The unity of systemic pathogenetic mechanisms in visceral diseases associated with generalized periodontitis]
Abstract:
The authors analyzed published data and their own findings which confirm the unity of systemic mechanisms of pathogenesis in combined visceral diseases and generalized periodontitis. The data proving the pathogenetic role of free-radical oxidation of lipids, proteins, and low-molecular-weight thiols, immunological imbalances, and deficiencies of the major macro- and trace elements (Ca, Mg, K, Na, Zn, Cu, Fe) are presented. The detected metabolic disorders and homeostatic shifts characterize the universal processes mediating alteration of cell structures in different organs and tissues in combined diseases.

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...
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.
