[Morphofunctional parallels in patients with chronic gastritis]
Abstract:
The main method of chronic gastritis diagnostics today is morphologic study of biopsy materials obtained during the endoscopic study. However, morphologic data do not reflect the functional state of the stomach and, first of all, its acid production function. Certain restrictions of morphologic gastritis diagnostics are the small size of biopsy materials, problems with atrophy diagnostics in marked inflammatory infiltration and loss or metaplasia of specialized cells. Endoscopic pH-metry reflects impartially the state of the acid production function of the stomach, which helps not only to specify the diagnosis but also to choose the right therapy method and management tactics.

Gastritis II: Pathophysiology
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 III: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies
Few clinical manifestations differentiate gastric ulcers from duodenal ulcers. Distinctions in the location, timing, and pain relief are crucial for healthcare providers in differentiating between gastric and duodenal ulcers during clinical assessments.
Pathophysiology of Peptic Ulcer Disease: Injurious Factors
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...
