THE PATHOLOGY OF GASTRIC AND DUODENAL ULCER

Physiotherapy of gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer

The review presents 69 references of current literature on the problem of gastroduodenal ulcer physiotherapy which has a good potential of impact on gastroduodenal motility, lipid peroxidation, microcirculation, physiological and reparative regeneration of epithelial and glandular cells. The choice of a physiotherapeutic method depends on the disease stage and to a less extent on location of th...

The Complications of Gastric and Duodenal Ulcer.

Gastric Freezing for Duodenal Ulcer.

A cuRE without recourse to surgery is the aim of all concerned with the treatment of duodenal ulcer. A new step in this direction was the introduction of gastric freezing by Wangensteen and his group in I962 (Wangensteen, Peter, Nicoloff, Walder, Sosin and Bernstein, i962b; Peter, Bernstein, Sosin, Madsen, Walder and Wangensteen, I962). This relatively simple and apparently innocuous procedure ...

Treatment of Chronic Gastric and Duodenal Ulcer

Much of the confusion of thought and teaching which now exists regarding the surgical management of patients suffering from chronic gastric and chronic duodenal ulcer arises from the fact that in recent years it has become customary to class these two conditions together as one disease -peptic ulcer. It is true that chronic gastric and chronic duodenal ulcer have certain features in common; the...

Dragstedt, gastric acid and duodenal ulcer.

Dragstedt believed that basal hypersecretion of gastric acid was the root cause of duodenal ulcer, that the hypersecretion was due to an increased vagal stimulation, and that vagotomy would therefore cure duodenal ulcer. He introduced vagotomy and demonstrated that the operation was successful in curing most patients of their duodenal ulcers. This article reviews how further research in the suc...
