An epidemiological survey of gastroduodenal ulcers was carried ut in an homogenous population of 100000 young adults of National Service age, and the results were compared with those of a similar survey which had taken place 6 years previously. Between 1971 and 1977 the overall incidence of gastroduodenal ulcers had risen from 1,57 to 2.14 p. 1000, but there ws a sharper and more significant increase (from 0.14 to 0.41 p. 1000) in gastric ulcers during the same period. Some of the aetiological factors investigated, such as age of onset of the disease, closed or open community housing conditions, individual predisposition, family history of ulcers, family status and inaugural symptoms, had remained unchanged, but there appeared to be a growing tendency for the disease to strike predominantly students and executives. If this were confirmed, these two social categories would be those which bear the brunt of the increase in gastroduodenal ulcers observed during the last few years.

Introduction: Older individuals are at risk of malnutrition resulting from chronic diseases-related body and muscle mass reduction. In turn, nutritional deficiencies may enhance catabolic processes, leading to accelerated aging and comorbidity, thus creating a vicious cycle. Our study aimed to assess the prevalence of malnutrition using the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria and to determine the health correlates of malnutrition in a representative sample of community-dwelling older adults.

Background: Epidemiological associations between kidney stone disease (KSD) and gastrointestinal disorders have been reported, and intestinal homeostasis plays a critical role in stone formation. However, the underlying intrinsic link is not adequately understood. This study aims to investigate the genetic associations between these two types of diseases.

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a group of rare genetic disorders most commonly caused by reduced amount of biologically normal collagen type I, a structural component of the gastrointestinal tract and abdominal wall. The risk of gastrointestinal (GI) disease in individuals with OI is not well understood, despite GI complaints being frequently reported by the OI population. To investigate the risk of GI diseases in individuals with OI.

The present study aimed to unveil the gastroprotective potential of Vaccinium macrocarpon (VM) extract and its mechanism of action against indomethacin (INDO)-induced gastric ulcers in rats. To achieve this goal, rats were pretreated with either omeprazole (20 mg/kg) or VM (100 mg/kg) orally for 14 consecutive days. Gastric tissue samples were collected and various parameters were evaluated to understand the mechanism of VM's action, including the levels of superoxide dismutase, malondialdehyde, glutathione, CAT and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β), as well as the mRNA expression levels of tumour necrosis factor alpha, interleukin 1 beta, nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and inhibitor kappa B (IκB).

Objective: Smoking is a major risk factor for peptic ulcer disease (PUD) mortality. This study aims to analyze global trends in smoking-attributable PUD mortality from 1990 to 2021 and project future trends to 2046.
Methods: Data were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021.
