Peptic ulcer disease - the disease and non-drug treatment
نویسنده
چکیده
Until the 1980s,peptic ulcer disease (PUD) was thought to be a chronic, incurable, relapsing disorder. This changed when Helicobacter pylori bacteria were identified as being responsible for the disease in most cases. This article outlines the epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations and diagnosis of PUD, and briefly describes endoscopic therapies. A second article (p245) describes the pharmacological treatment of the disease.
