Summary
A dog
Area of Science:
- Veterinary Medicine
- Comparative Pathology
Background:
- Chronic vomiting and anorexia are common presenting signs in dogs.
- Gastric abnormalities require thorough diagnostic investigation.
Observation:
- Abdominal ultrasound and CT revealed two large, intraparietal cavitated structures in the gastric wall.
- Surgical exploration identified intramural purulent material within thickened gastric walls.
Findings:
- Histopathology confirmed neutrophilic inflammation and an intralesional vegetal foreign body within the gastric wall abscesses.
- Bacterial culture was positive, suggesting an infectious etiology.
- Surgical debridement (deroofing) via gastrotomy resolved the abscesses.
Implications:
- Gastric wall abscesses, potentially caused by migrating vegetal foreign bodies, should be considered in the differential diagnosis for dogs with chronic vomiting.
- Surgical intervention is effective in treating gastric wall abscesses, with no recurrence observed in this case.

01:23Gastritis III: Clinical Manifestations and Management
246
The clinical manifestations of gastritis can vary depending on the cause and type of gastritis, but some common symptoms may include the following.
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...

01:17Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology
326
Gastritis is marked by disruption of the mucosal barrier that usually protects the stomach tissue from digestive juices and manifests in acute and chronic forms.
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...

01:28Peptic Ulcer Disease III: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies
117
Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) presents with diverse symptoms depending on the location and severity of the ulcer. Clinical manifestations of peptic ulcer include dull pain and a burning sensation in the mid-epigastric region.
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.

01:27Gastritis-I: Introduction and Types
404
Gastritis, defined by the inflammation or irritation of the stomach lining or gastric mucosa, manifests in several distinct forms: acute, chronic, reactive, and a specific subtype known as autoimmune metaplastic atrophic gastritis.
Acute gastritis presents as a sudden inflammation triggered by various stressors to the stomach lining, such as exposure to corrosive agents, local irritants like aspirin and other NSAIDs, alcohol consumption, radiation therapy, physical trauma, severe burns, sepsis,...
