The document discusses current trends in the management of ulcers, including opportunities and challenges. It begins by defining different types of ulcers and erosions. Common causes of peptic ulcers are Helicobacter pylori infection, NSAID use, smoking, and stress. Diagnosis involves endoscopy, biopsy, and testing for H. pylori. Treatment involves acid suppression therapy, H. pylori eradication treatment, and avoiding NSAIDs. Recurrent or refractory ulcers require confirming adherence, excluding other causes, and potentially retreatment.
Peptic ulcer disease is caused by an imbalance between aggressive gastric factors like acid and pepsin and protective mucosal defenses. H. pylori infection plays a key role in most peptic ulcers by damaging the mucosal layer. Treatment involves eradicating H. pylori with triple therapy using a PPI and two antibiotics for 2 weeks, and continuing PPI therapy for an additional 2 weeks to aid ulcer healing. Adherence to the full treatment course is important for successful eradication.
This document discusses peptic ulcer disease (PUD), including its causes, types, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. PUD is characterized by erosion of the GI mucosa from stomach acid and pepsin. It commonly affects the lower esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. The two main types are gastric and duodenal ulcers. Symptoms include abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Diagnosis involves endoscopy and tests for H. pylori bacteria. Treatment focuses on reducing stomach acid with PPIs or H2 blockers, eradicating H. pylori, and protecting the mucosa. Complications can include bleeding, perforation, and obstruction if not properly treated.
Peptic ulcer disease is characterized by sores in the stomach, duodenum, or esophagus caused by an imbalance between gastric acid and mucosal defenses. Common causes include H. pylori infection, NSAIDs, smoking, alcohol, and stress. Symptoms may include dyspepsia, abdominal pain, nausea, and weight loss. Complications can include gastrointestinal bleeding, perforation, and cancer. Diagnosis involves endoscopy and tests for H. pylori. Treatment focuses on reducing acid with PPIs or H2 blockers, eradicating H. pylori with antibiotic therapy, and lifestyle modifications.
Acid peptic disorders include gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and peptic ulcer disease. GERD is defined as chronic symptoms or mucosal damage caused by abnormal reflux of gastric contents into the esophagus. Peptic ulcers are defects in the gastrointestinal mucosa that extend through the muscularis mucosa. Common causes of peptic ulcers include Helicobacter pylori infection and NSAID use. Treatment involves eradicating H. pylori, discontinuing NSAIDs, and using proton pump inhibitors, H2 receptor antagonists, or prostaglandins to promote healing.

This document provides information on the management of various gastrointestinal disorders. It begins with an overview of the gastrointestinal tract and then discusses gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in detail, including causes, complications, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and management. It also briefly covers gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, and the differences between gastric and duodenal ulcers. The document is intended to describe the features, diagnosis, and management of common gastrointestinal disorders for medical learning purposes.
A peptic ulcer is a break in the stomach or duodenal lining that extends into deeper layers. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and NSAID use are the most important risk factors. Common symptoms include recurrent epigastric pain relieved by food or antacids. Endoscopy is required for diagnosis and management. Eradication of H. pylori using PPIs and antibiotics is recommended to promote healing and prevent complications like bleeding. Surgery is only required for complications when medical management fails.
A 45-year-old Saudi female presented with a 10-year history of rheumatoid arthritis and recurrent epigastric pain after eating. She was taking methotrexate and naproxen. Peptic ulcer disease is common worldwide and is usually caused by Helicobacter pylori infection or NSAID use. Diagnosis requires endoscopy or imaging. Treatment involves eradicating H. pylori with antibiotic therapy, cytoprotective agents, lifestyle changes, and sometimes surgery for complications like perforation or bleeding.
Peptic ulcers are lesions that occur in areas of the gastrointestinal tract exposed to stomach acid. Risk factors include H. pylori infection and NSAID use. Clinical features include recurrent abdominal pain related to food. Diagnosis involves endoscopy with biopsy or breath/stool tests for H. pylori. Management involves eradicating H. pylori with triple therapy antibiotics and PPIs. Surgery is rarely needed and reserved for complications like perforation or bleeding.
Peptic ulcer disease refers to lesions in the stomach or duodenum caused by an imbalance between protective and corrosive factors. Common types include gastric and duodenal ulcers. H. pylori infection is present in most ulcers and its eradication can cure ulcers and reduce recurrence. Treatment involves relieving symptoms, promoting healing, and preventing complications through lifestyle modifications, medications like PPIs, H2 blockers, and antibiotics targeted against H. pylori.
Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD) refers to circumscribed ulcers in the gastrointestinal tract caused by acid and pepsin exposure, often due to Helicobacter pylori infection. PUD prevalence is higher in developing countries and affects around 4.5 million Americans annually. Duodenal ulcers are more common than gastric ulcers and associated with smoking and blood group O, while gastric ulcers are associated with NSAID use and blood group A. Treatment involves eradicating H. pylori with antibiotic therapy if present and managing symptoms with proton pump inhibitors. Lifestyle changes like smoking cessation and limited alcohol can help prevent recurrence.
This document discusses Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) infection, including risk factors, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment and prevention. Some key points:
- C. difficile infection is caused by an anaerobic bacterium and is the most common cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhea. Risk factors include recent antibiotic use, advanced age, and hospitalization.
- Symptoms range from mild diarrhea to fulminant colitis. Diagnosis involves testing stool samples for C. difficile toxins or genes. Treatment depends on severity but typically involves metronidazole, vancomycin or fidaxomicin.
- Recurrence is common,
The document discusses acid peptic disorders and peptic ulcer disease. It defines acid peptic disorders as diseases linked to gastric secretions, including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and peptic ulcer disease. GERD is defined as damage to the esophagus caused by abnormal reflux of gastric contents. Peptic ulcers are defects in the gastrointestinal lining. Key causes are Helicobacter pylori infection and NSAID use. Proton pump inhibitors are the most effective treatment for healing ulcers and relieving symptoms.

Other treatment options discussed include sucralfate, H2 receptor antagonists, and proton pump inhibitors. Risk factors and complications of ulcers are also outlined.
Dr. Patrick Garrett is a chiropractor and functional medicine physician who specializes in reversing chronic conditions like diabetes and asthma through lifestyle and dietary changes. He has over 12 years of experience in functional lifestyle medicine and received postgraduate training in clinical nutrition, functional medicine, and lifestyle medicine. Dr. Garrett believes the standard medical approach to conditions like IBS, which focuses on suppressing symptoms with medications, is misguided. Instead, he advocates rebuilding the immune system by eliminating inflammatory foods and introducing anti-inflammatory foods to address the underlying causes of disease.
This document provides an overview of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It defines GERD and discusses its epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic evaluation, treatment, and complications. Some key points include:
- GERD is defined as symptoms or mucosal damage caused by abnormal reflux of gastric contents into the esophagus.
- It commonly occurs in adults over 40 and prevalence is higher in white males.
- Pathophysiology involves a lax lower esophageal sphincter and delayed gastric emptying.
- Common symptoms are heartburn and regurgitation. Diagnosis involves testing like endoscopy, pH monitoring, and response to PPI treatment.
Chest pain is a common complaint that requires evaluation to determine if it is caused by reduced blood flow to the heart muscle (ischemia). The characteristics of the chest pain, such as location, quality, duration and aggravating/relieving factors can provide clues to determine the likelihood it is caused by ischemia. Doctors also consider risk factors like age, sex, and medical conditions to evaluate the probability that chest pain is caused by a problem with the heart or blood vessels.

Depression in patients with medical conditionJunaid Saleem
Depression is commonly co-morbid with chronic medical disorders and worsens their outcomes. It decreases quality of life, functional ability, and adherence to medical treatment. It is also associated with worse health behaviors and increased medical costs. Depression independently increases mortality in conditions like diabetes, myocardial infarction, and stroke. Early identification and treatment of depression in medically ill patients can improve their quality of life and physical health outcomes. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors have shown benefits in reducing depressive symptoms and improving cardiac outcomes in patients with heart disease.

5. Q 1
What is a Peptic Ulcer?
What is an Erosion?
What is a Recurrent Peptic Ulcer?
What is a Refractory Peptic Ulcer?
6. Definition
A peptic ulcer is a
defect in the gastric or
duodenal mucosa
It may be limited to a
mucosal lesion
Or it may extend
through the
muscularis mucosa
into the deeper layers
of the gut wall.
7. Peptic Ulcer Appearance
Maybe some people would like to have a certain amount of control; not me.
It's too much stress and includes managing everybody's egos...
handling my own is enough!
Kajol
8. Peptic Ulcer Appearance
Before the 20th century, the ulcer was not a respectable disease.
Now it’s a fashionable thing to have.
Barry Marshall
10. Definitions
An ulcer in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract may be
defined as a break in the lining of the mucosa, with
appreciable depth at endoscopy or histologic
evidence of involvement of the submucosa.
An erosion is a break in the surface epithelium that
do not have perceptible depth.
The term peptic ulcer disease is used broadly to
include ulcerations and erosions in the stomach and
duodenum
11. Definitions
A refractory peptic ulcer is defined as an
endoscopically proven ulcer greater than 5
mm in diameter that does not heal after 12
weeks of treatment with a proton pump
inhibitor.
A recurrent peptic ulcer is defined as an
endoscopically proven ulcer greater than 5
mm in diameter that develops following
complete ulcer healing.
12. Q 2
What is the most common Site of Peptic
Ulceration?
I ma not the ulcer type but I am worrying about somethings
Yogi Berra
13. Common Sites
Duodenal 50-85%
Gastric 20-50%
Depends on the H
pylori prevalence
(Less in 1st world
more in 3rd world)
14. Q 3
What are the common presenting features of
PUD?
Peptic ulcers became more common in the 20th century at the same time
that these theories of Freud and other psychoanalysts became popular…..
Bbarry Marshall
15. Presenting Features
Peptic ulcers may
present with
dyspeptic or other GI
symptoms
OR
it may be
asymptomatic and
present with
complications
16. Presenting Features
Dyspepsia or Upper abdominal Pain at some
point in up to 80%
Poorly localized
May radiate to back
Typically occurs 2 to 4 hours after meals, and
is relieved somewhat by food intake
May wake the patient up from sleep after
midnight
6 week / 6 month cycle
17. Presenting Features
70% may be asymptomatic at the time of
Diagnosis
Especially those with complications may have
no prior history of dyspepsia
More common in elderly and NSAID users
Complication may be detected by new
symptoms or increase in intensity
18. Complications
UGI Bleed
Hematemesis, malena, orthostatic hypotension
Perforation
Sudden severe upper abd pain, peritonitis, gas
under diaphragm
Gastrocolic or gastroduodenal fistulae may form
GOO
early satiety, bloating, indigestion, anorexia,
nausea, vomiting, epigastric pain shortly after
eating, and weight loss
19. Q 4
What Causes Peptic Ulcer?
To gastroenterologists, the concept of a germ causing ulcers
was like saying that the Earth is flat.
Barry Marshall
31. Q 6
How would you treat a newly diagnosed PUD?
I had to learn to forgive. I couldn't sleep at night. I had to let go,
And let God deal with my problems and my ulcers.

I hate putting negative energy out into the world.
But it's either inside or out.
I mean, it's either get an ulcer or have a fight.

47. Q 7
How would you confirm eradication of H
pylori?
If you spend your life competing with
business men, what do you have?
A bank account and ulcers!
Marilyn Monroe
48. Confirmation of Eradication of H pylori
Preferably by the same method that was used
to initially diagnose the infection.
Urea Breath Test - NEG in 4 wks

Biopsy }
Culture } needs re-endoscopy - difficult
Urease }
IgM Abs should decline in 6 months??
IgG Abs will remain positive for life
49. Q 8
How would you treat a Recurrent / Refractory
Peptic Ulcer?
Despite the disreputable company it
keeps, bismuth is harmless.
Sam Kean
50. Refractory Ulcer treatment
Confirm adherence
R/O NSAID use
R/O other less common causes like Sarcoid, TB,
Crohn’s, Eosinophilic Gastritis, Ischemia and
Cancers etc
Biopsy preferred to get a C/S and R/O other
diseases – treat accordingly
Re-Treat with diff antibiotics
Longer treatment would be needed with PPI
(maybe 12 weeks and more)
