Recall appropriate therapeutic recommendations with respect to cardiovascular and gastrointestinal patient risk factors. Educational Objectives strated a reduced risk of gastrointestinal mucosal injury. However, there appears to be a delicate balance between the ability to protect the gastric mucosa and the effect on thrombotic events. Although selective COX-2 inhibitors appear to protect the g...

by blocking H /K -ATPase at the terminal steps of gastric acid secretion process. So, PPIs are assumed that their potency of gastric antisecretory effect is stronger than that of the histamine H2-receptor antagonists. Omeprazole, one of the PPIs, was discovered by Fellenius et al. and is widely used in treatment of peptic ulcer, gastro esophageal reflux disease and eradication of Helicobacter p...

A 2-year-old boy with peritoneal miliary Crohn's disease is described. In addition to vague gastrointestinal symptoms, ascites was a prominent feature. The jejunal mucosa was markedly atrophic, compatible with a diagnosis of coexistent coeliac disease.

1. Activities of 3-oxo acid CoA-transferase, D-3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase, hexokinase and carnitine palmitoyltransferase have been measured in the gastrointestinal tract. 2. Activity of 3-oxo acid CoA-transferase in the glandular mucosa of the stomach was as high as that in heart and kidney, and was 2--4 times greater than that in other regions of the gastrointestinal tract. It is suggeste...

Normal and metaplastic gastrointestinal mucosa obtained at surgical resection were studied by light microscopy, using the unlabelled antibody enzyme method for immunohistochemical staining of lysozyme, pancreatic endoproteases, and pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor (PSTI). Paneth cells in the mucosa of normal small intestine, gastric mucosa with intestinal metaplasia, and colonic metaplast...

Meckel's diverticulum is found in 2% of the population, which makes it commonest congenital abnormality gastrointestinal tract.
