9. Detailed Anatomy of the Stomach
Located on the left side of the body, under the diaphragm, the
stomach is a muscular, saclike organ that connects the
esophagus and small intestine through the duodenum. Its main
function is to break down food. Cells in the stomach lining
secrete enzymes, hydrochloric acid, and other chemicals to
continue the digestive process begun in the mouth and produce
mucus to keep these substances from digesting the lining itself.

17. Dyspepsia
Dyspepsia is a condition of impaired or
painful digestion resulting from failure of
some phase of the normal digestive
process.
It is a common disorder (up to 25% of
Population) with negative impact on
patient quality of life (QOL)
It can be defined as “persistent or
recurrent abdominal pain or abdominal
discomfort centered in the upper
abdomen”.
18. Possible Causes Of Dyspepsia
The Cause May Be Physical Or Emotional Upset
Among The Physical Causes Are:
Gastritis.
Chronic Peptic Ulceration.
GERD.
Gallbladder Inflammation.
Gastric Cancer.
Drugs.
Symptoms Of Possible Causes Often Overlap,
Which Can Make Initial Diagnosis Difficult.
19. Symptoms Of Dyspepsia
Symptoms May Include
A Heavy Feeling in the Pit of
the Stomach.
Gas and Belching.
Constipation.
Diarrhea.
Nausea.
Heartburn.
Headache or dizziness may
accompany the discomfort.

22. Gastritis
Acute :
Caused by NSAIDs or Alcohol.
May be associated with mucosal
ulceration.
Chronic :
Often associated with H. pylori
colonization of mucosa.
23. Gastritis
Gastritis is Acute or Chronic inflammation of
the mucosal lining of the stomach
In gastritis the inflammation may be marked
by the erosion of surface cells of the
mucosa, formation of granular nodules,
and hemorrhage.
In chronic gastritis, there is a growth of
fibrous tissue on the lining. Weight loss
and delayed emptying of the contents of
the stomach may accompany the disease.
Gastritis may develop into Gastric Ulcer
specially when H. pylori colonization is present
Psychological stress may also be involved in
the development of gastritis.
25. GERD
Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease Is A Common
Condition That Results From The Reflux Of Gastric
Material Through The Lower Esophageal Sphincter
(LES) Into The Esophagus Or Oropharynx, Causing
Symptoms And/Or Injury To Esophageal Tissue.
The Term Encompasses Both Symptoms And
Patho-physiologic Changes To The Esophageal
Mucosa, Which Occur As A Result Of Exposure Of The
Distal Esophagus To Acidic Gastric Contents After
Episodes Of Gastro-esophageal Reflux.
GERD Is Typically Chronic, Generally Non-
progressive, But Some Cases Are Associated With
Complications Of Increasing Severity And
Significance.
26. Clinical Overview of GERD
GERD Is A Dysmotility Problem With A
Broad Clinical Spectrum.
Has High Prevalence Rate.
Greatly Affects Quality of Life (QOL).

Who May Develop an Ulcer ?
Ulcer can develop at any age, but it is
rare among teenagers and uncommon with
children.
Gastric Ulcers are more likely to develop
in people between 40-60.
Duodenal Ulcers have an earlier peak
incidence between ages of 25-50.
Gastric Ulcers develop more in Women.
Duodenal Ulcers occur more frequently in
Men.
59. What Are The Symptoms Of Peptic Ulcers ?
The Most Common Symptom Is Gnawing Or Burning Pain In
The Abdomen Between The Breast Bone And The Naval Bone.
Stomach Ulcer
Pain Often Occurs After Meals.
It May Last From Few Minutes to Few Hours.
May be Relieved by Taking Antacids.
Duodenal Ulcer
Pain Occurs Between Meals (Hunger Pain).
It Occurs Also by Night and in the Early Morning.
Pain is Relieved by Eating or by Taking Antisecretory.
Stress Ulcer
Is Silent , Asymptomatic Ulcer, But is Life Threatening
60. What Are The Complications Of
Peptic Ulcers ? (1)
Bleeding Due to Deep Ulcer or Erosions.
Minor Bleeding Occurs Rarely, But May
Be Sufficient to Cause Anemia Over a
Period of Time.
Hemorrhage Occurs in The Sub-mucosal
Layer Where a Large Vessel is Eroded.
15-20% of Patients with Peptic Ulcer
Experience an Episode of Hemorrhage.
The Blood May Appear In The Vomits or in
the Stools and Some Patients May be
Shocked.
61. What Are The Complications Of Peptic Ulcers ? (2)
Perforation of the gut wall may occur in 5% of
patients either with peptic ulcer or stress ulcer.
Bacterial infection may occur & is accompanied
by hemorrhage in about 10% of cases.
Acute perforation may lead to 5% mortality rate
mainly in the elderly.
Pyloric stenosis (Gastric outlet obstruction) which
results from fibrous changes, oedema or spasm (or a
combination of all of them).
It may be produced by an ulcer in the region of
pylorus & the obstruct stomach may lead to nausea
and vomiting.
Early symptoms are often sensation of excessive
and long-lasting ”fullness” after a small meal and
continuous vomiting, therefore, it may cause
dehydration.
62. How Can Peptic Ulcers Be Diagnosed ?
Endoscopy
Barium Meal X-Ray
Acid Secretion Test.
H. Pylori Tests.

73. PPIs : Pharmacology
Are substituted benzimidazoles ProDrugs.
They are concentrated & activated in the
parietal cell canalicular lumen by
conversion to sulfenamides in the
presence of acid.
Bind irreversibly to cysteine residues and
inactivate H+, K+ ATPase (proton pump).
Inhibit only active pumps.
A new pump is regenerated in about 24 h
New steady state for acid secretion
occurs in about 3 days.
75. PPIs : Pharmacology (cont.)
Half-life for various PPI’s
reported at 0.5-2.0 hours.
Duration of action is related to
time for regeneration of new pumps
and activation of resting pumps &
not to half-life.
Efficacy allows 24-h acid
suppression with once-daily dosing.

PANTOPRAZOLE is more stable
than OMEPRAZOLE or LANSOPRAZOLE,
and particularly much more stable than
RABEPRAZOLE, under neutral

acidic (pH ~3.5 to pH ~7.4)
PANTOPRAZOLE, therefore, is the

92. Metabolism of PPIs
Metabolized by CYP2C19 & CYP3A
CYP2C19 Exhibits Genetic
Polymorphism
Rabeprazole least affected by polymorphism
as its major metabolic pathway is non-
enzymatic (not Cytochrome Mediated)
Genetic polymorphism is due to deficiency
of CYP2C19 in some populations :
3% Caucasians & Africans; 12-15% Asians.
