The authors analyze in detail the literature on the subject and the results of treatment of 234 patients over 60 years of age. It is confirmed that peptic ulcer in elderly and old-aged individuals has some specific features. The mortality rate after planned surgical interventions for gastric and duodenal ulcer in patients over 60 years was 5.0% and 3.9%, respectively. Emergency surgical interventions for complications of peptic ulcer at old age led to death in 44.4% and 50% of cases, respectively. It is concluded that the range of indications for planned and earlier surgical treatment of peptic ulcer in the elderly must be widened.

A fusion model of manually extracted visual features and deep learning features for rebleeding risk stratification in peptic ulcers.

Objectives: We propose a multi-feature fusion model based on manually extracted features and deep learning features from endoscopic images for grading rebleeding risk of peptic ulcers.
Methods: Based on the endoscopic appearance of peptic ulcers, color features were extracted to distinguish active bleeding (Forrest I) from non-bleeding ulcers (Forrest II and III). The edge and texture features were used to describe the morphology and appearance of the ulcers in different grades.

Background: Efficacy of eradication regimens in (Hp) infection is commonly reported with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). In patients with corpus atrophic gastritis, characterized by impaired acid secretion, PPI treatment is questionable.
Objectives: The current study aimed to assess in clinical practice the tolerability and eradication rate of modified eradication regimens without PPI as first-line treatment in patients with histologically Hp-positive corpus atrophic gastritis.
Application of Different Surgical Strategies in Helicobacter pylori-Associated Gastric Ulcers with Perforation: A Comparative Study of Short-Term and Long-Term Outcomes and Complication Risks.

Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, The Second Affiliated Hospital, Hengyang Medical School, University of South China, 421001 Hengyang, Hunan, China.
Aim: This study compared the short- and long-term efficacy of simple suture with omental patch repair (Graham patch) in open surgery versus laparoscopic omental patch repair (LOPR) in treating patients with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)-associated gastric ulcers with perforation, and analyzed the incidence of complications.
Methods: The clinical information of patients who had stomach perforation repair surgery in Deqing People's Hospital between January 2021 and January 2022 was retrospectively analyzed.

In this study, antiulcer activity of ethanolic extract and solvent fractions of the aerial part of was investigated using ethanol-induced model of gastric ulceration in rats. The results showed that ethyl acetate, non-polar components and diethyl ether fractions have a remarkable antiulcerogenic activity; because they exhibited control-ulcer protection by 85.2%, 77.

Erlotinib, an epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI), is currently used in the therapy of several solid malignancies. This agent has been associated with several dermatological side-effects, the most common being papulo-pustular acneiform rash. Herein we describe a unique skin effect in a patient treated with erlotinib for non-small cell lung cancer.
