“…The present work showed a definite female preponderance in childhood peptic ulcer, contrary to the findings by most investigators which indicate an excess of male patients (Habbick et al, 1968;Baida et al, 1969;Br. med.…”

Thirty children (20 girls and 10 boys, aged 6–16 years) with primary peptic ulcers, matched in pairs for age, sex and socio-economic standard to a group of 30 ulcer-free controls, were submitted to a structured psychiatric interview, a structured ‘present psychiatric state’ examination and to personality and intelligence tests. With one exception all patients suffered from duodenal ulcer; 3 male patients had personalities with psychopathic elements, 7 patients had nicknames, 5 suffered from psychiatric disorders, 3 had attempted suicide in the past, and 3 had had homosexual experiences. These parameters were negative in all controls. The patients had lower mean IQ, worse scholastic adaptation, more anxious and overprotective parents, higher frequency of faddiness in food and lower frequency of nail-biting than the controls. Psychotraumatic events had preceded the onset of ulcer symptomatology in 11 cases. The findings are discussed and the contribution of psychological factors in the pathogenesis of childhood peptic ulcer is stressed.

“…Chapman (1978), Wolf et al (1979), and Yager and Weiner (197 1) have mentioned important genetic factors that might influence the creation and persistence of peptic ulcer. In short, research on these factors has suggested that peptic ulcer tends to occur more than two times as frequently among the living siblings of patients with ulcer as among the general population (Doll and Kellock, 1951;Habbick, 1968;Vesely, 1968), there is a higher rate of concordance for duodenal ulcer among monozygous (three times as often) than among dizygous male twins (Jensen, 1972), and that those subjects with blood group 0 are about 37 percent more likely to develop duodenal ulcer than are people of other groups. Also, those nonsecretors of blood group substances in their saliva are 50 percent more likely to develop duodenal ulcer (Hanley, 1964;Marcus, 1969;Sievers, 19.59;Vesely, 1968).…”

There has been considerable growth in the number of studies focused on the relationship between stress at work and a variety of physiological symptoms, especially cardiovascular irregularities, abnormal levels of biochemicals in the blood and urine, and gastrointestinal disorders. Many of these studies, however, have used inadequate procedures for measuring such symptoms. Consequently, the results and conclusions of these studies are often invalid or, at best, questionable. The purpose of this paper is to critique the prevailing procedures used in the measurement of physiological symptoms in work stress research and to suggest needed improvements.

“…On the other hand, Habbick et al [2] in 1968, studying the predisposing factors in childhood ulcer, reported very poor healing. Moreover, dis-agreement regarding the methods of treatment still exists [3][4][5][6][7].…”

Eleven cases of chronic duodenal ulcer in children were subjected to surgical treatment in a period of 7 years. The diagnosis was based on typical peptic ulcer symptoms, hyperchlorhydria, and barium meal x-ray studies delineating a duodenal bulb deformity with an ulcer crater in 8 patients. Three cases of duodenal ulcer perforation in infants were diagnosed at aparotomy for peritonitis with pneumoperitoneum. All the patients hailed from the rgion of Assam, India, where peptic ulcer is prevalent. A positive family history of peptic ulcer in 5 patients, blood group O in 7 patients, and the regional diet were considered to be predisposing factors. Medical treatment consisting of a bland diet, sedatives, antispasmodics, and a brief hospital stay failed to provide permanent relief of symptoms. Truncal vagotomy with a drainage procedure was done in 8 patients with no deaths. However, simple closure of the perforation in the 3 infants resulted in fatalities due to fulminant septicemia. The patients were followed up for 1-8 years. Six patients had permanent relief of symptoms. Two patients occasionally complained of epigastric fullness and eructation. They showed normal growth, gain in weight and hemoglobin levels, and had no recurrence. We believe that operative treatment is preferable to medical management of chronic duodenal ulcer in children.
