[PRESSURE ULCER – WHAT’S NEW]?
Abstract:
Pressure ulcer is defined as a wound resulting from tissue ischemia due to prolonged continuous pressure on the protruding parts of the body. Pressure ulcer is a significant health problem that more often affects the elderly and disabled. It can be noticed that a large number of patients who end up on prolonged and severe treatment are released from the hospital to home care without or with mild degree pressure ulcers. Therefore, the conclusion is that patient care in hospital conditions is satisfactory. It is important to emphasize the importance of maintaining the same level of care for patients at a high risk of pressure ulcers, considering all recommendations and innovations in preventing development of pressure ulcers.

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 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 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.
