Gastrin levels in patients with migraine and cluster headache
Abstract:
Idiopathic headaches (migraine, cluster headache) are very often accompanied by alimentary canal disturbances. In view of a suspected relation of gastrin to these symptoms the author decided to test its level in connection with these diseases. It was found that the level of gastrin in 23 women with migraine and 23 men with cluster headache was significantly lower in comparison with the control group of 26 healthy volunteers. The author discusses the possible reasons for such results obtained in patients with idiopathic headaches.

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...
