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...

breathomics is the metabolomics study of exhaled air. it is a powerful emerging metabolomics research field that mainly focuses onhealth-related volatile organic compounds (vocs). since the quantity of these compounds varies with health status, breathomics assuresto deliver noninvasive diagnostic tools. thus, the main aim of breathomics is to discover patterns of vocs related to abnormal metabo...

The gastric acid response and the buffer capacity of the stomach were measured in 30 control subjects and 22 duodenal ulcer patients in response to a masticatory (solid) and a non-masticatory (homogenized) meal having the same chemical composition. The peak acid output values were equal after a masticatory and after a non-masticatory diet in control subjects (masticatory 18.1 +/- 1.2, non-masti...

We report a case of lipoma in the antum of the stomach which prolapsed into the duodenal bulb and caused a duodenal ulcer, speculated to have been induced by the friction of its top against the duodenal mucosa. Although the ulcer healed after the administration of a proton pump inhibitor, the symptom of epigastric discomfort continued, suggested to be due to prolapsing. Therefore, a laparoscopi...

In the present study, a sequential observation of the gastric lesions or ulcers in rats weighing from 100 g was made with an endoscope. It was found that bleeding, edema, hyperemia, fur of ulcer and convergences of the mucosal folds in the stomach could be observed in rats with a SES-1717S (phi = 1.7 mm) or SES-2217S (phi = 2.2 mm) endoscope. Furthermore, we have devised a method which we named...

BACKGROUND Cibotium barometz is a medical herb used traditionally in the Malaysian peninsula for several ailments, including gastric ulcer. The aim of this study was assessment the anti-ulcer effects of C. barometz hair on ethanol-induced stomach hemorrhagic abrasions in animals. Seven groups of Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were administered 10% Tween 20 in the normal control and ulcer control grou...

extract of echinops persicus is traditionally used for a long time in iran for treatment of cough and constipation. this extract is produced by activity of bug (situphilus spp.) on the plant. we documented its anti-tussive effect in rats in our previous study.the aim of this study was to assess the anti-ulcer effect of echinops persicus in an animal model. in this study we evaluated anti-ulcer ...

Experimental and clinical data have incriminated excess gastric acid secretion as an important factor in the development of duodenal ulcer. On the other hand, gastric ulcer is characteristically associated with normal to low levels of acid secretion, and mucosal resistance factors have been invoked to explain the pathogenesis. The purpose of this report is to summarize the evidence favouring th...

The author presented a clinical case of the combined course gastric ulcer, gastroesophageal reflux disease against background significant increase in fecal calprotectin level absence endoscopic, histological confirmation Crohn’s disease.Multiple erosive and ulcerative lesions upper gastrointestinal tract may result from various reasons, one possible explanations be common form disease. A 32‑yea...

Although the ulcerogenic action of corticosteroids in the stomach is controversial, its action on ulcer healing has not been defined. In this study, we used non-ulcerogenic doses of dexamethasone (0.1 or 0.2 mg/kg/day) to explore the adverse effect on ulcer healing as well as its pathological mechanisms in rat stomach. In this regard, we measured ulcer size, mucus thickness, epithelial cell pro...
