SAITO, A. Relation of the Acidity of Gastric Juice to Cancer and Ulcer of the Gastroduodenal Tract. Tohoku J. exp. Med., 1973, 111 (4), 323-345-The author has statistically studied the acidity of gastric juice obtained from 1,100 cases of gastric cancer, 29 cases of gastric polyps, one case of gastric sarcoma, one case of gastric myoma, 5 cases of duodenal cancer, 570 cases of gastric ulcer, 90...

objective: gut–brain axis (gba) is very important in creation and modulation of gastrointestinal problems. aloe vera gel has gastroprotective properties. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of aqueous extract of aloe vera leaves on the gastric acid secretion and brain and intestinal water content following acetic acid gastric ulcer induction. materials and methods: gastric ulce...

Compression bandaging achieved a higher proportion of complete ulcer healing, reduced ulcer size, and improved psychosocial outcomes in venous ulcer patients. The four-layer bandaging and short-stretch bandaging systems achieved a similar effect on both ulcer healing and other psychosocial outcome measures. Effect of compression bandaging on wound healing and psychosocial outcomes in older peop...

To investigate the gastroprotective activity of ethanolic leaf extract of Ficus religiosa (F. religiosa) in different experimental models of gastric ulcer in rats.The ethanolic leaf extract of F. religiosa were studied at two dose levels (250 and 500 mg/kg, oral) in rats against absolute cold stress induced ulcer and pyloric ligation induced gastric ulcer. Ranitidine (50 mg/kg, oral) was used a...

question of the aetiology of gastric ulcer is fully discussed. The authors consider that acute primary ulcer often commences as a hemorrhage, and that chronic ulcer, although it may be a sequel of an acute ulcer, is probably frequently due to impaired nutrition of the mucous membrane of the stomach consequent upon arterial degeneration. It has always seemed to us that a hemorrhage is the most l...

An idiopathic peptic ulcer is defined as an ulcer with unknown cause or an ulcer that appears to arise spontaneously. The first step in treatment is to exclude common possible causes, including Helicobacter pylori infection, infection with other pathogens, ulcerogenic drugs, and uncommon diseases with upper gastrointestinal manifestations. When all known causes are excluded, a diagnosis of idio...

Buruli Ulcer is a devastating skin disease caused by the pathogen Mycobacterium ulcerans. Emergence and distribution of Buruli ulcer cases is clearly linked to aquatic ecosystems, but the specific route of transmission of M. ulcerans to humans remains unclear. Relying on the most detailed field data in space and time on M. ulcerans and Buruli ulcer available today, we assess the relative contri...

Only a few papers have been published about unusual localisations of pressure ulcer. To date, no papers were published presenting pressure ulcer on external genitals in women. The paper presents the mechanism of origin of vulval pressure ulcer, surgical treatment (excision of lesion tissue of the pressure ulcer) and reconstruction of the vulva. The patient, aged 50, has been paraplegic for 20 y...
