CLINICAL STUDIES ON GASTRIC SECRETION

Studies in Gastric Secretion

Most of t.he investigators who have concerned themselves with the mechanism of formation of gastric hydrochloric acid have attacked the problem by attempting to devise a physicochemical system which is capable of producing this acid in vitro and in the initial absence of any strong acid. Such a system, however, in order to be applicable in the construction of a cell model, must account quantita...

Studies on the Secretion of Gastric Juice

In a previous article (1)) on the secretion of gastric juice in fever, it was reported that the concentration of’ chlorides in gastric juice was constant or slightly reduced. In this present paper I wish to emphasize the relation between the secretion of total chlorides in gastric juice and the secretion of free hydrochloric acid. Most of the data for this paper were obtained at that time but u...

The Clinical Value of Gastric Secretion Tests

A Lectmre lelivereti at the Queen's University of Belfast on October 3ist, 1955, un/er the auspices of the British Council. You all know the story about William Beaumont, the army surgeon, who took care of Alexis St. Martin, the young French Canadian, who was severely wounded by an accidental discharge of a shotgun, which left him for the rest of his life with a hole in his side, through which ...

Studies on gastric digestion of protein and carbohydrate, gastric secretion and exocrine pancreatic secretion in the growing pig.

Six pigs, initially of 35 kg mean live weight, were each fitted with a re-entrant cannula. This was formed on either side of a short pouch of duodenum into which the pancreatic duct opened and which contained a simple cannula linked to the centre of the re-entrant cannula. Each pig received two diets: diet A was based on wheat starch, sucrose and casein, while diet B was based on barley and soy...
