[The mode of prognosis course of gastric ulcer]
Abstract:
The stomach ulcer is widely spread and is characterized by dangerous and now and then lethal complications. The study was carried out to develop mode of prognosis of course of stomach ulcer. The complex examination of 40 healthy volunteers (control group) and 42 patients with stomach ulcer (main group)was implemented. All participants gave informed consent. In blood serum of examined persons using immune enzyme technique the concentration of secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA), pepsinogen-II (PG-II) and cancer antigen 72-4 (CA 72-4) were detected. The results were statistically processed. In patients levels of sIgA and PG-II exceeded upper limits of normal values in 90.5% and 61.9% of cases correspondingly and depended on course of disease. The level CA 72-4 was higher of upper limit of normal values in all patients with severe course and frequent exacerbations of stomach ulcer. The detected in patients significant alterations of sIgA, PG-II, CA 72-4 permit to recommend detection of the given combination of indices for prognosis of course of stomach ulcer.

What is a Mode?
There can be more than one mode in a data set if multiple values have the same highest frequency. For instance, suppose that the Statistics exam scores of 20 students are: 50; 53; 59; 59; 63; 63; 72; 72; 72; 72; 72; 76; 78; 81; 83; 84; 84; 84; 90; 93. Here, the mode is 72, as it occurs most frequently, five times.
A data set with two modes is called bimodal. For example,...

Ventilatory Modes
There are three ventilatory modes: full support, partial support, and spontaneous. These are described below.
Full Support Modes
Full support modes include controlled mechanical ventilation, continuous mandatory...
Gastric Phase of Digestion
When food enters the stomach, it stretches the stomach walls and activates stretch receptors. This triggers local reflexes of the enteric nervous system, mediated through the myenteric plexus. These...
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.
