[Ulcer perforating into the free peritoneum. Review of 70 cases]
Abstract:
We retrospectively studied a series of 70 patients admitted between 1977 and 1982 with an acute perforated ulcer. As compared to available data our patient's population is characterized by elevated mean age and by important delay between onset of symptoms and admission. Clinical diagnosis supported by plain X-rays and laboratory was confirmed in 91%. In one patient only, treatment was purely conservative; nine vagotomies, four gastrectomies and fifty-six suture plication were performed. Hospital stage was short (mean: 13,5 days) despite 37% morbidity. Mortality (10%) was close correlated with age and delay between onset of symptoms and treatment.

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.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
