Peptic Ulcer Diseases - 2nd Edition(includes Helicobacter pylori supplement) | ||
| The complete unit gives major coverage to the pathophysiology of duodenal
ulcer and gastric ulcer. Some of the specific aspects presented are acid/pepsin
secretion, cellular and extracellular factors that regulate luminal pH,
pepsinogens, gastric emptying, and gastrointestinal hormones. The bacteriology
and epidemiology of Helicobacter pylori are presented, as well as
its association with gastritis and ulcer diseases. Topics covered under
pathophysiology of GE reflux include the role of lower esophageal sphincter
function and aspects of esophageal motility. Other topics contained in the
unit are upper GI anatomy and pathology, epidemiology of peptic ulcer diseases,
and the physiology and pathophysiologic aspects of the gastric mucosa. In
addition, some clinical aspects of endoscopic negative dyspepsia, gastric
and duodenal ulcer, and the pharmacologic basis of ulcer treatment are included.
Thirteen slides were deleted from the original release. This information
is now updated by the H. pylori supplement which is included. Authors: |
