Abstract:
Gastric ischemia has been reported in the literature mainly as case reports and case series. It is uncommon because of its excellent blood supply. Patients with atherosclerosis and vascular insufficiency are at risk for gastric ischemia, especially with gastric distension. Workup may reveal radiographic findings that denote ischemia and would prompt surgical intervention. However, these patients with vascular insufficiency tend to be poor surgical candidates, which can present a dilemma. The authors report two cases where non-operative management for gastric ischemia was successfully accomplished.

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...

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.
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...
