Gastric ulcer due to mesenteric ischemia is a rare clinical finding. As a result, few reports of ischemic gastric ulcers have been reported in the literature. The diagnosis of ischemic gastropathy is seldom considered in patients presenting with abdominal pain and gastric ulcers. In this case report, we describe a patient with increasing abdominal pain, weight loss, and gastric ulcers, who unde...

invasive gastric mucormycosis is a rare and fatal disease. we report a rare case with longstanding sle who presented with fever. autopsy showed multiple small shallow-based ulcers in the antrum. histologic examination showed invasive mucormycosis. this is a rare case of invasive gastric mucormycosis localized exelusively in the stomach.

Minocycline (MCN), a semi-synthetic tetracycline derivative possesses pleiotropic effects and provides protection against a number of disease models. However its effect on gastric ulcers has not been studied. The present investigation was undertaken, to study the gastro-protective potential of MCN in experimentally induced gastric ulcers in rats. MCN (10, 30, 100 mg/Kg) was tested for gastric s...

From 1966 to 1985, 2130 patients with gastric cancer were admitted to our surgical department. Among these cancers, gastric cancer following partial gastrectomy for benign gastroduodenal lesion were present in 22 (1%) patients. The original pathology was gastric ulcers in 64% (14 patients), duodenal ulcers in 23% (5 patients), combined gastric and duodenal ulcers in 9% (2 patients), and leiomyo...

A 73-year-old man developed refractory multiple hemorrhagic gastric ulcers. Emergent gastrectomy was performed, and the diagnosis of polyarteritis nodosa was made by histologic evaluation of the resected stomach. Although gastric ulceration is a relatively rare complication of polyarteritis nodosa, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of refractory hemorrhagic gastric ulcers. E...

BACKGROUND & AIMS The role of two forms of cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2) in gastric mucosal lesions is not well understood. The regulation of both forms of COX and the effect of COX-2 on the repair process of gastric mucosal lesions in mice were investigated. METHODS Gastric mucosal erosions and ulcers were induced experimentally in mice. The level of COX messenger RNA (mRNA) was determine...

Previous studies of the gastroprotective activity of plants have highlighted the importance of the polyphenolic compound epicatechin (EC) in the treatment of gastric ulcers. This paper aimed to evaluate and characterize the gastroprotective mechanism of action of EC using male rats. The gastroprotective action of EC was analyzed in gastric ulcers induced by ethanol or indomethacin. The involvem...

Objective This work investigated the healing and antisecretory effects of the aqueous extract of Eremomastax speciosa on "unhealed gastric ulcers" associated with gastric acid hypersecretion. Materials and Methods "Unhealed gastric ulcers" were induced using indomethacin following the establishment of acetic-acid-induced chronic gastric ulcers. The extract (200 and 400 mg/kg, per os) was admi...
