Statistically significant linear correlations between geographic variations in salt consumption and mortality from gastric, but not duodenal ulcer, are reported. It is suggested that dietary consumption of salt is a risk factor in mortality from gastric ulcer.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the anti-ulcer activity of ethanol extract of leaves of Polyalthia longifolia (Sonn.) Thwaites. MATERIALS AND METHODS The ethanol extract of Polyalthia longifolia was investigated for its anti-ulcer activity against aspirin plus pylorous ligation induced gastric ulcer in rats, HCl -Ethanol induced ulcer in mice and water immersion stress induced ulcer in rats at 300 mg/k...

Methods We calculated gastric HCO3 and H+ secretion, as well as nonparietal and parietal volume secretion, in 15 duodenal ulcer patients who had previously undergone successful proximal gastric vagotomy, 15 unoperated duodenal ulcer patients, and 15 normal control subjects. Basal HCO3secretion was not significantly altered after vagotomy, while basal H+ secretion, parietal volume and nonparieta...

Modern gastroenterology started in early 19(th) century with the identification by W. Prout of the inorganic (hydrochloric) acid in the stomach and continued through 20(th) century with the discoveries by I.P. Pavlov of neuro-reflex stimulation of gastric secretion for which he was awarded first Nobel Prize in 1904. When concept of nervism or complete neural control of all digestive functions r...

Extract of gazyagi has protective effect against ethanol-induced gastric ulcer and it decreases microscopical ulcer index in rat. At the last some years, treatment of peptic ulcer by medicinal herbs have been were very successful. Gazayagi (Falcaria vulgaris) is a member of Umbelliferae family. In the folk medicines of the west of country, this herb is used for healing of skin ulcer and peptic ...

conclusions in the present study, the frequency of clarithromycin resistance was lower than the other studies conducted in iran. resistance frequency in samples isolated from gastric ulcer was higher than other gastric disorders. women and patients aged more than 60 years old showed the most resistance frequency in this study. all resistant strains had the a2143g genotype. results of the 89 h. ...

Twenty-two cases, or 23 lesions, of the so-called "gastric cancer in the young" under the age of 30 years were studied, in comparison with the adult cases in the fifties and the elderly cases over 70 years, and their unique clinico-pathological features were described. The early symptoms of gastric carcinoma in the young patients are similar to those of peptic ulcer, and often diagnosed as gast...

The effects of a β-dunnione compound MB12662 on the gastric secretion and ulcers were investigated in rats. In order to assess the effects of MB12662 on the gastric secretion and acidity, rats were subjected to pylorus ligation operation, and 6 hours later, gastric fluid was collected. Treatment with MB12662 reduced the gastric fluid volume to 47.3% of control level and increased pH. In an alco...

Gastric ulcer is one of the most common chronic gastrointestinal diseases characterized by a significant defect in the mucosal barrier. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and the frequent long-term use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are major factors involved in gastric ulcer development. Acid inhibitors and antibiotics are commonly used to treat gastric ulcer. However, in the ...
