Aim: To validate principles and policy of non-pharmacological treatment of duodenal ulcer (DLU) with onset at old age, to study medico-social efficacy of DU non-pharmacological treatment.

Material And Methods: The study was made of 234 cases of DU in patients aged 61-65 years (mean age 63.2 years). DU was diagnosed in them at an old age.

Results: Non-pharmacological treatment of old DU patients was performed at three stages: outpatient basic treatment, inpatient rehabilitation with nonpharmacological methods, sanatorium remission and nonspecific resistance consolidation.

Conclusion: Nonpharmacological measures by 3-stage scheme have higher medico-social efficacy compared to one-stage management.

Managing acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in patients with a recent history of gastrointestinal bleeding presents a unique and challenging clinical dilemma, necessitating a careful balance between minimizing ischemic risk and avoiding potentially life-threatening rebleeding. Standard treatment for ACS typically involves dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) to prevent recurrent thrombotic events. However, in patients with recent gastrointestinal hemorrhage or significant anemia, these therapies may substantially increase the risk of life-threatening bleeding, complicating the decision-making process and often leading to conservative management strategies.

The patient developed secondary ischemic cholangitis, leading to extensive aerobilia and secondary portal pneumatosis, accompanied by inflammatory changes in the head of the pancreas.

Introduction: The duodeno-pancreatic region is a highly vascularized area. The superior and posterior pancreaticoduodenal artery is a vessel primarily originating from the gastroduodenal artery. It exhibits rare anatomical variations, such as its emergence from the right branch of the hepatic artery, which we fortuitously identified during a cadaver dissection.
