“…The evidence relating distress of war to ulcer disease, often quoted as indicating a relation between stress and ulcer (27), has recently been disputed (4). However, it is emphasised the above conclusions relate only to emotional stress and chronic gastric ulcer and are not meant to apply to physical stress and acute gastric ulcer where the relationship is beyond all reasonable doubt (6,16,18). …”

Stress was measured by the frequency of 31 major life events with consequent change and distress scores in 50 patients with chronic gastric ulcer and 50 control subjects, matched for age, sex and place of residence. The gastric ulcer population did not differ from the control population regarding the number of events experienced and the associated change and distress scores. However, when analysed according to social grade, the ulcer patients in the lower status suburbs experienced more events and more change than their controls, but the distress scores were similar. In the higher status suburbs, no difference was present between the patients and controls. Change and distress scores rose progressively with age, but there was no significant difference in the number of events experienced between the three age groups. Both men patients and their controls experienced significantly more events and higher change scores than women patients and their controls.

“…It has been said in the past that infection increases the risk of alimentary ulceration in burns, but there is no direct evidence to support this. O'Neill et al (1967) at the US Army Institute specifically investigated this point and found no evidence to support it. Infection was not noticeable in the present patient at the time that he bled.…”

A case of Curling's ulceration of the duodenum in a child with 50 per cent burns, requiring operative arrest of the bleeding, is reported, and this condition is reviewed. Inquiry among the surgical units treating burns in Great Britian showed that only 18 cases of alimentary bleeding had been seen in the course of treating some 32 500 patients. The incidence in Europe and Australia appears to be of the same order, but there is a much higher incidence in some burns units in North America. Possible reasons for these differences are examined. The occurrence and treatment of Curling's ulcer in childhood are considered.
