Achlorhydria refers to states where the production of gastric acid in the stomach is absent or low and impairs protein digestion by inhibiting the activation of the enzyme pepsin, whose activation is dependent upon a low gastric pH.
As acid facilitates non-haem iron absorption, about 25% of achlorhydric patients develop iron-deficiency anaemia.
Doctors know it is not an uncommon situation that patients using proton-pump inhibitors have problems with low iron and even iron deficiency.
Non-heme iron absorption is dependent on an acidic stomach in order for the iron to be released and eventually absorbed.
Achlorhydria does not concern heme iron.
Heme iron is taken up efficiently as a whole structure leaving no free iron ions to irritate.
Uptake is not dependent on stomach acid.

There are 7 sets fo Acrostic psalms in the book of psalms:
In book 1 they are Psalms 9,10 (a pair) , 25, 34 and 37
In book 5 they are 111,112 (a pair), 119 and 145.
They are layed out in the Psalms acrostically to be easily learned and contain important lessons to take to heart.
Very likely these Psalms were written in a way to be memorized.
They also tend to make boundaries of sections, Psalm 119 being between the (Passover deliverance) hallal Psalms and the (Jerusalem Journey to the temple) Psalms of Ascent for example

2 Case Reports of Gastric Ultrasound
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.
Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!
2. Achlorhydria
is the absence of hydrochloric
acid in the gastric secretions. Patient with
this condition fall into two groups.
01.
Free of gastric hydrochloric acid after
stimulating with histamine phosphate.
02. lack of gastric hydrochloric but respond
to stimulation by histamine.
3. The
symptoms of acklorhydria can vary with
the associated disease. These includes
01. Mild diarrhea
02.Epigastric pain
03. Sensitivity to spicy food
04. pernicious anaemia
4. Pepsin
possesses it’s greatest proteolytic
activity below pH 3.5. In achlorhydria there
is absense of hydrochloric acid in stomach.
So pH is not maintain in desired level and
pepsin is inactivated. As a result the above
symptom arrived.
5. It
is common for patients with achlorhydria
to have pernicious anaemia due to lake of
intrinsic factor, the protein necessary to
carry vitamin B12 across the intestinal wall.
6. Patients
of the first type fall into the
complications of
01. Subtotal gastrectomy
02. Atrophic gastritis
03. Carcinoma of stomach
04. Gastric polyps
7. Patients
of the second type fall into the
complication of
01. Chronic nephritis
02. chronic alcoholism
03. Tuberculosis
04. Hyperthyroidism
05. pellagra
06 Sprue
07. parasitic infestation
8. Treatment/Remedy
of Achlorhydria:
5 ml dilute HCL N.F in 200 ml water required
to treat achlorhydria. It provides about 15
meq of acid.
Note:
Dilute HCL means it will contain not
less than 9.5 gm and not more than 10.5 gm
in each 100 ml solution.
10. In
order to avoid exposure of dental enamel
of HCL, the use of straw laid well back on
toungue has been recommended or the use
of equivalent product such as glutamic acid,
HCL. Which is administered in capsules.
11. Little is known on the prognosis of
achlorhydria, although there have been reports
of gastric cancer.
