Inflammation of the stomach lining, causing symptoms like dyspepsia and nausea.

Ulcerations in the stomach or duodenum, can be acute or chronic, mostly caused by H. pylori.

Shallow gastric lesions without immune response, often linked to NSAID use.

Bacterium causing gastric and duodenal ulcers, found in 90% of duodenal ulcer cases.

Common symptoms include gnawing epigastric pain, hematemesis, and bloating; often asymptomatic.

An ulcer located in the first few inches of the duodenum.

An ulcer that occurs in the gastric antrum or near the pylorus.

Pain in the upper middle region of the abdomen, often after eating.

Impaired movement of the stomach and duodenum, leading to symptoms.

The three signs of perforation: sudden pain, tachycardia, rigidity.

Abnormal connection between the stomach/duodenum and another organ.

Narrowing of pyloric antrum due to inflammation or scarring.

Vomiting blood, which can appear bright red or like 'coffee grounds'.

A fixed protrusion of a portion of the stomach into the thorax while the LES remains below the diaphragm.

Protrusion of the LES and gastroesophageal junction through the diaphragm, causing dilation.

Most are asymptomatic; common symptoms include indigestion and chest pain, especially after eating.

Strangulation can occur, leading to chest pain and loss of blood supply to the stomach.

Diagnostic tool used to visualize the esophagus and stomach for abnormalities like hiatal hernias.

Backflow of stomach acid into the esophagus, causing inflammation and potential erosion.

Factors like hiatal hernia, obesity, pregnancy, and certain foods/drinks contributing to GERD.

Common symptoms include heartburn, regurgitation, and throat pain; can also cause bleeding.

Chronic reflux can lead to esophageal ulcers, strictures, and Barrett’s esophagus.

Metaplastic changes in the esophagus lining due to chronic acid exposure; may occur without symptoms.

Increases risk of Peptic Ulcer Disease by 3-6 times.

Diagnosis involves characteristic abdominal pain and tests like endoscopy or barium x-ray.

Treatment includes stopping NSAIDs, antibiotics for H.pylori, and acid-reducing medications.

Primarily adenocarcinomas from the stomach's glandular cells, making up 95% of cases.

Includes H.pylori infection, gastric polyps, certain dietary factors, smoking, and obesity.

A chronic digestive condition where stomach acid flows back into the esophagus.

Based on symptoms; no tests needed to start treatment initially.

Protrusion of organs into the thoracic cavity through a weakened diaphragm.

A birth defect where there's a defect in the diaphragm affecting neonates.

Symptoms include abdominal pain, decreased breath sounds, and potential bulge.

A condition where the pylorus narrows, blocking food passage to the duodenum.

Persistent projectile vomiting after feeding and visible peristalsis.

Transient inflammation of the gastric mucosa, often caused by NSAIDs.

Surgical treatment for pyloric stenosis involving muscle splitting.

Can include incarceration of organs leading to strangulation and perforation.

An autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten, leading to intestinal damage.

Iron, Calcium, Vitamin D, B12, and Protein deficiencies are common.

Suspected based on symptoms, confirmed with blood tests and biopsy.

A gluten-free diet and corticosteroids are primary treatments.

A group of inflammatory disorders of the gastrointestinal tract.

A type of IBD characterized by transmural inflammation and 'skip lesions'.

An autoimmune disease with inflammation limited to the colon's mucosal layer.

Common symptoms include abdominal pain, diarrhea, and fatigue.

May include severe bleeding, toxic megacolon, and increased risk of colon cancer.

Compromised absorption of nutrients through the intestines.

Includes weight loss, steatorrhea, and nutrient-specific symptoms.

Based on symptoms, weight loss, and tests for specific nutrients.

Treatment depends on the underlying cause and replaces lost nutrients.

No contraindications, but abdominal massage may need adjustment.

Local contraindication during flare-ups; discuss comfort with patients.
