Equine gastric ulceration effects condition, performance, and behavior. Prevalence of ulcers in horses can reach 80% to 100%. After reviewing the literature, we propose an oral polysaccharide preparation will be effective in treating equine gastric ulceration. Ten adult horses with gastric ulceration were used to evaluate the clinical efficacy of a polysaccharide gel containing a blend of hyalu...

Background/Aim Gastric ulcer may be benign or malignant. In terms of therapy and patient’s prognosis early detection of malignancy is very important. The aim of this study was to assess the usefulness of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) in differentiation between benign and malignant gastric ulcer. Methods A prospective study included 20 consecutive adult patients with malignant gastric ulceration...

Oxidative stress is believed to initiate and aggravate many diseases including peptic ulcers and gastric carcinoma. We observed an increase in rat gastric mucosal lipid peroxidation (LPO) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) and a decrease in catalase (CAT) levels in cold restraint stress-induced gastric ulceration while, in clinical peptic ulceration and gastric carcinoma patients, an increase in se...

Refractory peptic ulceration refers to ulcers which are slow to heal despite active treatment for at least three months. Oxygen-derived free radicals are cytotoxic and promote tissue injury. Twelve consecutive patients with refractory peptic ulceration (eight with duodenal ulcers and four with solitary pre-pyloric gastric ulcers) were treated using the radical scavengers allopurinol or dimethyl...

Clinical features and laboratory data are presented for 100 patients with benign gastric ulceration and 150 patients with duodenal ulceration confirmed endoscopically in a district general hospital unit. Abdominal pain was the commonest indication for endoscopy, but one third of examinations were performed for acute gastrointestinal haemorrhage. Although the patients were selected by referral f...

Stomal Ulceration Stomal ulceration may follow anastomosis of the stomach to any other part of the alimentary canal. I have indicated in my first lecture that by I954, stomal ulceration had followed in over 50 per cent. of the cases in which I had carried out a gastrojejunostomy for duodenal ulcer in I943. In such cases at the second operation, the duodenal ulcer, although often reported as act...

OBJECTIVE To report the prevalence and distribution of gastric ulceration within a group of racehorses and to describe the endoscopic appearance of gastric antrum and pyloric ulceration. DESIGN Retrospective clinical study. PROCEDURE Medical records from gastroscopic examinations of 345 racehorses (331 Thoroughbreds and 14 Standardbreds) were reviewed. Prevalence, distribution and severity ...

It has been found that a ;gastric' type of epithelium tends to develop in the first part of the duodenum in patients with duodenal ulceration and is found in the second part of the duodenum in a patient with the Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. It is likely that ;gastric' epithelium appears when the duodenal acidity is high and it is resistant to ulceration.
