Extractions: Peptic Ulcer Disease Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) is a very common ailment, affecting one out of eight persons in the United States. The causes of PUD have gradually become clear. With this understanding have come new and better ways to treat ulcers and even cure them. Anatomy and Function of the Stomach An ulcer is an open sore in the lining of the stomach or intestine, much like mouth or skin ulcers. Peptic ulcers are eventually caused by acid and pepsin, a digestive stomach enzyme. These ulcers can occur in the stomach, where they are called gastric ulcers. Or they can occur in the first portion of the intestine. These are called duodenal ulcers. "Peptic Ulcer" is the term used to describe either or both of these two types of ulcers. In the end, it is acid that causes the injury to the stomach or bowel lining. However, a revolutionary and startling recent discovery is that most peptic ulcers result from a stomach infection caused by the bacteria, Helicobacter pylori.

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? Approximately 1 out of every 10 Americans will have a peptic ulcer sometime during his or her life. Each year, over 46,000 operations for peptic ulcer disease are performed, and over 7,000 people in the United States die from complications associated with ulcers. Although ulcers can occur at any age, they are rare among children and only slightly more common in teenagers. Duodenal ulcers usually first appear in people during their twenties or thirties, while gastric ulcers are more likely to develop among people who are in their forties or older.

The term PUD generally refers to spectrum of disorders that includes gastric ulcer (GU), pyloric channel ulcer, duodenal ulcer (DU) and postoperative ulcers at or near the site of surgical anastomosis. So what causes PUD? Numerous factors blamed in the pathogenesis of PUD. Many of these factors may be acquired during life, although some of these these may already be predetermined. Historically, stomach acid has been the most common factor blamed. No Acid No ulcer- is an old axiom which may be questionable in the nineties. As a group, patients with duodenal ulcer have high acid secretion. Increased acid secretion causes changes in the wall of duodenum (gastric metaplasia) setting the stage for invasion by HP.

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?

Extractions: Peptic Ulcers Ulcers are small, open craters or sores that develop in the lining of the stomach or the duodenum, the first section of the small intestine. The term peptic ulcer is generally used to describe both types of ulcers. Fortunately, there are a number of treatments that relieve the discomfort associated with ulcers and, other treatments to actually heal the ulcer, itself. Learning how your ulcer may have developed and understanding what irritates it and keeps it from healing will help you to work with your physician in establishing the most effective treatment plan. ORIGINS The current "revolution" in ulcer cause and treatment was first noted by Dr Barry Marshall, who discovered the presence of a small bacterium, under the microscope, attached to the lining of stomach wall samples taken from patients' ulcers, in 1982. These initial findings have been confirmed as a cause of ulcer disease The bacterium is called Helicobacter Pylori (or H Pylori, for short). Current medical opinion suggests that anyone with ulcer symptoms should, at some point, be checked for the presence of H Pylori. The importance of this finding is that, in many cases of H Pylori positive ulcers, antibiotics can actually heal the ulcer. This is a revolution in thinking. Some ulcers are caused by different factors such as certain medications, and illnesses. Peptic ulcers occur only in those areas of the digestive system that come in contact with digestive juices secreted by the stomach. These juices include stomach acid basically, hydrochloric acid - and an enzyme called pepsin, which breaks down proteins. While many people with duodenal ulcers have an overabundance of digestive juices spilling down from the stomach, most of those with gastric (stomach) ulcers have normal or even below-normal amounts of stomach acid. Medical researchers, therefore, believe that poor resistance of the protective mucous membrane that lines both the stomach and duodenum may contribute to the development of a peptic ulcer.

People of any age can get an ulcer and women are affected just as often as men. Over 25 million Americans will suffer from an ulcer at some point during their lifetime. The good news is that most ulcers are caused by an infection with the bacterium, Helicobacter pylori , and can be cured in about two weeks with antibiotics.

Extractions: Home Daily Wine News > Current Headlines Wine, Beer Wipe Out Ulcer-Causing Bacteria, Study Shows Posted: Thursday, January 16, 2003 By Jacob Gaffney Moderate consumption of wine or beer may help rid the body of a type of bacteria long suspected of causing peptic ulcers, according to a team of researchers in the United Kingdom. The study, published in the American Journal of Gastroenterology, aimed to find out if smoking cigarettes or consuming alcohol and coffee is associated with Helicobacter pylori infection. Physicians believe that H. pylori , which can burrow holes in the stomach wall, is responsible for the majority of peptic ulcers. However, H. pylori does not cause ulcers in everyone it infects, so scientists believe certain substances may assist in "activating" it or combating it. Little else is known about the bacteria's existence inside the human body. "It is widely believed that the infection is acquired in childhood and that it is usually lifelong, unless specific therapy is used to eradicate it," said the lead author of the study, Liam Murray, an epidemiologist at Queen's University in Belfast. (For example, the bacteria can be eliminated by a course of antibiotics.) "However, it may be spontaneously eradicated in some instances," he said.

Extractions: What are the symptoms of peptic ulcer? Peptic ulcers are occasionally painless. However, the most common symptom is a dull ache in the upper abdomen that usually occurs two to three hours after a meal; the ache is relieved by eating. Other common symptoms include weight loss, bloating, belching, and nausea. Untreated, peptic ulcers often bleed and may cause sharp burning pain in the area of the stomach or just below it.

Later, researchers determined that stomach acids hydrochloric acid and pepsin contributed to ulcer formation. Today, research shows that most ulcers (80 percent of gastric ulcers and 90 percent of duodenal ulcers) develop as a result of infection with a bacterium called Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori).

Extractions: Digestive Disorders Facts About Stomach and Duodenal Ulcers During normal digestion, food moves from the mouth down the esophagus into the stomach. The stomach produces hydrochloric acid and an enzyme called pepsin to digest the food. From the stomach, food passes into the upper part of the small intestine, called the duodenum, where digestion and nutrient absorption continue. An ulcer is a sore or lesion that forms in the lining of the stomach or duodenum where hydrochloric acid and pepsin are present. These ulcers are referred to as peptic ulcers gastric ulcers in the stomach and duodenal ulcers in the duodenum. About one in 10 Americans develop at least one ulcer during their lifetimes. Ulcers affect about five million people each year. More than 40,000 people each year have surgery because of persistent symptoms or problems from ulcers. Each year, nearly 6,000 people die of ulcer-related complications. Ulcers can develop at any age, but they are rare among teenagers and even more uncommon in children. Duodenal ulcers occur for the first time usually between the ages of 30 and 50.

These tumors are usually malignant, must be removed and acid production suppressed to relieve the recurrence of the ulcers.
