Mucosal Barrier of the Stomach01:25

Mucosal Barrier of the Stomach

2.0K
The gastric glands contain parietal cells that secrete hydrochloric acid (HCl) for digestion. The cells secrete HCl because it is highly corrosive and essential for breaking down food. To achieve this, they secrete hydrogen and chloride ions into the lumen of the gastric glands, which combine to form HCl.
Within parietal cells, carbonic acid is first formed through the reaction of water and carbon dioxide. The dissociation of carbonic acid releases bicarbonate and hydrogen ions. The bicarbonate...

Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology

1.1K
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...

Gastritis-I: Introduction and Types

2.1K
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,...

Fungal Group Zygomycota01:29

Fungal Group Zygomycota

958
Zygomycota, previously classified as a distinct fungal group, are primarily terrestrial, saprophytic molds that play a crucial role as decomposers. Recent phylogenetic studies have revealed that these fungi are now divided into two major clades — Mucoromycota, which includes many symbiotic species, and Zoopagomycota, which primarily consists of parasitic and pathogenic fungi. These groups exhibit distinct ecological roles and reproductive strategies while sharing key structural and...

What is Monogastric Digestion?01:50

What is Monogastric Digestion?

74.9K
The human body contains a monogastric digestive system. In a monogastric digestive system, the stomach only contains one chamber in which it digests food. Several other animal species also have monogastric digestive systems, including pigs, horses, dogs, and birds. This chapter, however, focuses on the human digestive system.

Gross Anatomy of the Stomach01:16

Gross Anatomy of the Stomach

2.7K
The human stomach is a vital part of the digestive system, performing multiple functions. It is located within the peritoneum, a serous membrane that lines the abdominal cavity. The stomach plays a central role in processing food substances and interacts with other digestive organs through coordinated digestive processes. The stomach has a characteristic J-shape and is divided into four main regions. The cardia is the first section where the esophagus connects to the stomach and is the entry...

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Mycology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Gastrointestinal mucormycosis is a rare and often fatal fungal infection.
  • It predominantly affects immunocompromised individuals, including those with hematological malignancies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the unique pathological features of a rare case of gastric mucormycosis.
  • To investigate the potential source of infection in a patient with malignant lymphoma.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of a patient with malignant lymphoma who died from suspected gastrointestinal mucormycosis.
  • Postmortem pathological examination to identify fungal infection and its characteristics.

Main Results:

  • Gastric mucormycosis was identified postmortem as the suspected primary source of infection.
  • Unique pathological findings of the gastric mucormycosis were documented.

Conclusions:

  • Gastric mucormycosis is a critical condition with distinct pathological features.
  • Contaminated, unheated vegetables may serve as a potential vector for fungal transmission to the gastric mucosa.
