Interstate Medical Journal, Vol. 13

Excerpt from Interstate Medical Journal, Vol. 13: January-December, 1906 Block1 attributes the fact that round ulcer of the stomach is found more frequently on the lesser curvature of the stomach than at the pylorus, to anatomical relations which he has observed in stomachs fixed and examined immediately after death. These portions of the stomach have the same appearance in' the dilated as in the contracted state, while the muscles of the other portion contract firmly and thus protect its mucous membrane from the action of the gastric juice. In the muscles of the newborn dying from gastro - enteritis are found ulcers which have originated from hemorrhagic erosions, and the epithelium seems to be seriously damaged through hemorrhages to the mucous membrane. He believes that bacteria do not play any role in the production of ulcer. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
