[On the nature of secondary ulcers of the stomach]
Abstract:
The authors have studied two main groups of causes of the arising of secondary ulcers of the stomach: ulcerous aetiology due to stenosing duodenal ulcers (238 patients--81.1%) and non-ulcerous aetiology (53 patients--18.2%). It was found that both variants of secondary ulcers were characterized by a considerable part of so called "difficult" ulcers of the stomach and high bias towards bleedings. Operation of choice for secondary ulcers of the stomach must be resection of the stomach preferably by the Billroth-I method or application of termino-lateral anastomosis.

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.

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 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.
Peptic ulcers can also be...
