A peptic ulcer is an ulcer of the lining of either the stomach or the first part of the small intestine below the stomach called the duodenum. Peptic ulcers occur only in those regions of the gastrointestinal tract that are bathed by digestive juices secreted by the stomach. These juices contain hydrochloric acid and a digestive enzyme called pepsin - hence the name "peptic" ulcer. Peptic ulcers that appear in the stomach are called gastric ulcers, and those that occur in the duodenum are called duodenal ulcers. In the United States, duodenal ulcers are more common than gastric ulcers. The reverse is true in Japan. Who Gets Ulcers?

    Extractions: Approximately 25 million Indians suffer from peptic ulcer disease at some point in their lifetime. Each year there are 500,000 to 850,000 new cases of peptic ulcer disease and more than one million ulcer-related hospitalizations. A peptic ulcer is a sore on the lining of the stomach or duodenum, which is the beginning of the small intestine. Ulcers can develop at any age, but they are rare among teenagers and even uncommon in children. Duodenal ulcers occur for the first time usually between the ages of 30 and 50 years. Stomach ulcers are more likely to develop in people older than 60 years. Duodenal ulcers occur more frequently in men than women; stomach ulcers develop more often in women than men. Although we used to think that spicy food, acid and stress were the major causes of ulcers, but we now know that nine out of ten ulcers are caused by H. pylori, a type of bacteria. H. pylori weakens the protective mucous coating of the stomach and duodenum, which allows acid to get through to the sensitive lining beneath. Both the acid and the bacteria irritate the lining and cause an ulcer. Medicines that reduce stomach acid may make you feel better, but your ulcer may recur. Here's the good news: Since most ulcers are caused by this bacterial infection, they can be cured with the right antibiotics.

    Extractions: General . Predisposing factors for both duodenal and gastric ulcers include alcohol, tobacco, aspirin and other NSAIDS, and physiologic stress such as multiple trauma, sepsis, neurosurgical problems, gastrinoma, other "ICU" stresses. There is no symptom complex that can adequately differentiate gastric from duodenal ulcers and nonulcer dyspepsia. Classically, food is reported to alleviate the pain of duodenal ulcers and exacerbate the pain of gastric ulcers. However, food may exacerbate or relieve the pain of either type of ulcer; the pain of gastritis is reliably worsened by food. The pain of either type of ulcer may be felt as a gnawing pain in the chest, back, mid-abdomen, or either upper quadrant. Additionally, many ulcers are asymptomatic (especially those related to NSAIDS) and first present with a perforated viscus or GI bleed. Physical exam and lab should include a CBC to rule out anemia secondary to bleeding, as well testing stool for fecal occult blood.

    Extractions: Biology of Helicobacter pylori Helicobacter are Gram-negative, aerobic or microaerophilic, spiral-shaped bacilli that are motile by way of flagella at one end of the cell. Closely related to Helicobacter are species of the genera Aquaspirillum Azospirillum Spirillum , and Camplyobacter . The genetics of Helicobacter pylori are complex; there are many strains of H . pylori which are distinguished by the human disease with which they are associated. Once Helicobacter pylori colonizes its host, it lives in the interface between the surface of gastric epithelial cells and the overlying mucus gel layer, often clustering at the junctions of epithelial cells. In addition H. pylori can also be found on top of the gastric epithelium in the duodenum and esophagus. It was not until 1983 that H . pylori was recognized as having any medical importance. Now, it has been proven that H. pylori infection is the main cause of chronic superficial gastritis and it is associated with both gastric and duodenal ulcers. Human Disease Peptic ulcer disease is a common clinical ailment, once thought to be caused by oversecretion of acid and pepsin, an enzyme of the stomach that promotes digestion by breaking down proteins. Researchers have found, however, that although the injury caused by acid and pepsin is necessary for the formation of ulcers, acid secretion levels of the majority of patients with gastric or duodenal ulcers are normal. An ulcer is now known to be the result of an imbalance between aggressive and defensive mechanisms in the stomach and duodenum. Part of that imbalance can be attributed to infection by

    Extractions: Dr Cliff Tasman-Jones - Gastroenterologist What is peptic ulcer? A peptic ulcer is a sore on the lining of the stomach or duodenum. Peptic indicates it is related to digestion. It occurs in tissues which are bathed by secretions containing acid and pepsin. The stomach is a unique organ which has the ability to hold very concentrated solutions of acid, as well as the protein digestive enzyme pepsin, without damage to itself. This unique ability is due to a highly specialised protective barrier made up of a continuous mucous layer which maintains a near alkaline pH at the cell surface in spite of the concentrated acid in the stomach sac, very tight junctions between the cells, and a very good blood supply.

    Extractions: What Is Peptic Ulcer Disease? Once widely considered a stress-related condition, today peptic ulcer disease is strongly associated with a gastric infection of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) - a bacterium that grows in the stomach. The term peptic ulcer disease covers a variety of inflammatory conditions in the stomach such as duodenal ulcers and gastric ulcers. Product Features More Info What are the Symptoms? Symptoms of peptic ulcer disease (and infection by H. pylori ) can include mild-to-moderate pain that awakens you from sleep (usually between midnight and 3:00 a.m.); pain over a wide area of the mid-stomach area; anorexia; nausea; vomiting.

Once believed to be caused by spicy food and stress, these have been found merely to be aggravating factors, and the real causes have been found by research to include bacterial infection (H pylori) or reaction to various medications, particularly NSAIDs. The identification of H. pylori ulcers has led to a cure for this subtype that was discovered as recently as 1982. Whereas treatment used to involve bedrest and antacids, modern treatment involves killing the H. pylori bacteria or removing the underlying NSAID medication.

     Extractions: A peptic ulcer is a hole in the gut lining of the stomach, duodenum, or esophagus. A peptic ulcer of the stomach is called a gastric ulcer; of the duodenum, a duodenal ulcer; and of the esophagus, an esophageal ulcer. An ulcer occurs when the lining of these organs is corroded by the acidic digestive juices which are secreted by the stomach cells. Peptic ulcer disease is common, affecting millions of Americans yearly. The medical cost of treating peptic ulcer and its complications runs in the billions of dollars annually. Recent medical advances have increased our understanding of ulcer formation. Improved and expanded treatment options are now available. What are the causes of peptic ulcers? For many years, excess acid was believed to be the major cause of ulcer disease. Accordingly, treatment emphasis was on neutralizing and inhibiting the secretion of stomach acid. While acid is still considered significant in ulcer formation, the leading cause of ulcer disease is currently believed to be infection of the stomach by a bacteria called "Helicobacter pyloridus" (H. pylori). Another major cause of ulcers is the chronic use of anti-inflammatory medications, commonly referred to as NSAIDs (
