Abstract:
This cross-sectional comparative study included 120 patients (68 men and 52 women, mean age 58.3 +/- 14.5 yr) with duodenal polyps (DP) diagnosed by fibroesophagogastroduodenoscopy. Morphological study was conducted in 118 patients. Gastric metaplasia (GM) areas in polyp mucosa (PM) were identified by alcian blue/PAS reaction at pH 1.0 and 2.5. A total of 82859 patients were examined. Endoscopy revealed DP in 0.15% of them. The pH value below 6.5 was documented in duodenal bulb polyps in 85% of the patients having them and in 20% of those with polyps of other localization. Biliary pathology was documented in 80% of the patient with DP in major duodenal papilla and in 2.0% of those with DP of different localization. 66.7% of the patients did not complain of pain in the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract. Erosion of polyp mucosa occurred in 21.2% of the patients (92% of erosions in duodenal bulbs and 56.5% in hyperplastic DP with GM areas). H. pylori was identified in GM areas of bulb DP in 30.4% of the patients. Endoscopic study of 120 patients revealed the following localization of DP: bulbs - 83.4%, postbulbar region - 8.3%, major duodenal papilla - 8.3%. The following morphological types of DP (n = 118) were identified: hyperplastic DP - 49.2%, epithelial tumours - 16.1%, non-epithelial tumours - 1.7%, inflamed mucosal areas - 33.0%.

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.

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...
