Peptic Ulcer Disease
• Peptic ulcerations are excavated defects
(holes) in the gastrointestinal mucosa that
result when epithelial cells succumb to the
caustic effects of acid and pepsin in the
lumen.
• Peptic ulcer disease commonly used term
to refer to ulcerations of the stomach,
duodenum, or both, that is caused by acidpeptic injury.
• Histological, ulcers are necrotic mucosal
defects that extend through the muscularis
mucosa and into the submucosa or deeper
layers.
• More superficial necrotic defects are
named erosions.
History
• In the early part of the 20th century, stress and diet were
considered to be the pathogenetic factors for PUD, so
treatment was with bed rest and diet.
• 1950, clinicians had focused their attention on the
pathogenetic role of gastric acid, so antacid therapy had
become the treatment of choice.
• 1970, histamine H2 receptor antagonists became
available, and acid suppression with antisecretory
therapy was the treatment of choice for UD.
• 1980, proton pump inhibitors (PPI) were discovered, with
more potent acid suppression and higher rates of ulcer
healing.
• Using alone antisecretory drugs, will have recurrence
within one year in most patients
• H. pylori was discovered in April 1982 by two Australian
physicians, Dr. Barry Marshall and Dr. Robbin Warren.
• In 1983 the two doctors proposed that the bacterium is
the cause of peptic (duodenal and gastric) ulcers.
• Dr. Marshall even went so far as to inoculate himself
with the bacterium to prove his point.
• it soon became apparent just how widespread and
serious the H. pylori threat is.
• Researches confirm that over 90 per cent of people with
peptic ulcers are infected with the bacterium.
• In 1987 the Sydney gastroenterologist Thomas Borody
invented the first triple therapy for the treatment of
duodenal ulcers.

• Peptic Ulcer Disease.
• Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
• Acute diarrhea.
• Normally 10 liters enter the duodenum daily, of
which 1 liter is absorbed by the small intestine.
• Colon resorbs most of the remaining fluid with
only 100 ml fluids lose in the stool.
• Medical definition of diarrhea: a stool weight
more than 250 g/day.
• Practical definition: increased stool frequency
more than 3 times/day or liquidity.
• There are 2 types of diarrhea: acute diarrhea
(less than 3 weeks) and chronic diarrhea (more
than 3 weeks).
Acute diarrhea
• Acute diarrhea: acute onset of diarrhea
and present for less than 3 weeks
• Mostly caused by infectious agents,
bacterial toxins (ingested preformed in
food or produced in gut) and drugs.
• Similar recent illness in family members
suggests an infectious etiology.
Non-inflammatory diarrhea
• Fever absent.
• Stool without blood or fecal leucocytes.
• Watery stool with peri-umbilical cramps,
bloating, nausea and vomiting (small
bowel enteritis) caused by either a toxin or
other a toxin producing toxin or other
agents that disrupt the normal absorption
and secretory process in the small
intestine.
How do we recognize noninflammatory diarrhea?
By examining the absence of the
leucocytes in the stool
What are the causes of Noninflammatory diarrhea?
•
•
•
•
Viral: Norwalk virus, Rotavirus.
Protozoa: Giardia lamblia, Cryptosporidium.
Bacterial:
Preformed entero-toxins: Staphylococcus
aureus, Bacillus cereus, and Clostridium
perfringens.
• Intra-intestinal enterotoxin production: E. coli
(enteropathogen) and Vibrio cholera.
• New medication.
• Fecal impaction.
Inflammatory diarrhea
• Presence of fever and bloody diarrhea
(dysentery) indicates colonic damage caused by
invasion (shigellosis, salmonellosis, yersinia and
amibiasis) or a toxin (C.difficile, E. coli 0157:H7).
• Colonic diarrhea is a small amount diarrhea in
volume (< 1l/day) and associated with left lower
quadrant cramps, urgency and tenesmus.
• Fecal leucocytes are present in infections with
invasive organisms.
How do we recognize inflammatory
diarrhea?
By examining the presence of the
leucocytes in the stool
What are the causes of
inflammatory diarrhea?
• Viral: Cytomegalovirus.
• Bacterial:
1. Cytotoxin production: E. coli 0157:H7
(enterohemorhagic), Vibrio parahemolyticcus
and Clostridium difficile.
2. Mucosal invasion: Shigella, Salmonella,
enteroinvasive E. coli, aeromonas and Yersinia.
3.Bacterial proctitis: Chlamydia, N. gonorrhea.
• Protozoa: E. histolytica.
• Other: Ischemic colitis, I.B.D. and radiation
colitis.
