[Prevalence of ulcer disease complications]
Abstract:
The epidemiology of complications of a peptic ulcer is studied: bleedings, perforations and pylorodudenal stenoses. 1799 patients are included in research that were on hospitalisation in 1995-2009. A frequency of all the complications has declined. Middle age of patients with the complicated ulcer enlarged: in case of an ulcerative bleeding--at the expense of reduction of a share of male at the age of 36-60 years, in case of a perforated ulcer--because of appreciable reduction of a percentage of male at the age of 21-35 years.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...

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.
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...
