[Risk factors of gastropathy development in workers exposed to dust]
Abstract:
Systemic leucocyte-induced oxidative stress in prolonged occupational exposure to dust modifies oxidative metabolism of neutrophils and RBC, causes inflammatory and destructive, autoimmune processes in gastric lining and possible subsequent occupational gastropathies. To verify gastropathies caused by technogenic dust aerosols, search of preclinical biologic markers of gastric lining damage is essential. The article presents main steps in occupational gastropathies formation, trigger mechanisms, leading pathogenetic factors of gastric lining damage and of atrophic fundus gastritis. Using the mentioned complex of biomarkers in gastric lining state monitoring among workers at periodic and thorough medical examination is main item in forecasting individual risk of occupational gastropathies and in possible approach to their prevention and treatment.

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...

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...
