Acute gastritis occurring within 24 hours of severe head injury

Hemorrhagic Ulcers after Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami: Features of Post-Disaster Hemorrhagic Ulcers

“…In ICU ulcer cases, time-dependent changes of the mucosa found by endoscopy have been reported. Endoscopic examination of patients within 24 h of the provoking insult has revealed a patchy, ischemic pallor and the reddening of hyperemia coexisting in the proximal stomach [3,10,11,12,13]. Endoscopy shows extensive, erosive changes of the fundus in most patients within 48 h of admission to an ICU.…”

Comparison of three acute stress models for simulating the pathophysiology of stress-related mucosal disease

“…SRMD is observed in critically ill patients during a serious illness such as surgery, trauma, sepsis, severe burns, etc., within twenty-four hours of their admittance to intensive care unit (ICU) (2,3). SRMD is a considerable reason of morbidity in addition to mortality in critically ill patients in ICU (4).…”

Prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection in stress-induced gastric mucosal injury

“…The endoscopist was blinded to the results of the H. pylori tests at the time of the endoscopy and subsequent interpretation. Gastric and duodenal mucosal injuries were scored according to the criteria of Brown et al [3], as follows: · Minor mucosal injury * Grade 0: normal mucosa * Grade 1: 1±5 erosions or submucosal hemorrhages The LARA 13 C-UBT (Alimenterics, New Jersey, USA) is an easy and reliable method to detect current H. pylori infection [12]. We have shown previously that use of the LARA 13 C-UBT during mechanical ventilation produces the same results as in ambulant conditions [13].…”

“…Endoscopic studies have shown that the majority of critically ill patients develop stress ulcerations. Gastric mucosal lesions develop in 91 % of patients suffering head trauma [3]. The incidence of stress ulceration is approx.…”
