duodenal bulb

It begins with the duodenal bulb and ends at the ligament of Treitz.

The duodenal bulb is the place where duodenal ulcers occur.

The duodenal bulb is the portion of the duodenum which is closest to the stomach.

The two patients in whom the lesion was not reached had ulcers located in the inferior and posterior wall of duodenal bulb.

We detected residual peptic lesions in the duodenal bulb of four group II patients at the final follow up examination.

The hepatic artery proper gives off a small supraduodenal artery to the duodenal bulb.

In 38 patients endoscopy showed focal abnormalities or signs of diffuse inflammation of the duodenal bulb.

To determine the extent of gastric metaplasia, multiple biopsy specimens were collected from standardised sites of the duodenal bulb.

It is as yet unknown, however, whether eradication of the organism influences the presence and extent of gastric metaplastic tissue in the duodenal bulb.

The question has been raised whether these changes result in restoration of the duodenal mucosa and disappearance of gastric epithelium from the duodenal bulb.

During the final five minutes of this sequence a period of intense activity was obvious and coincided with the emptying of water from the stomach and duodenal bulb.

It is assumed that gastric metaplasia arises from the necks of Brunner's glands and is the result of a persistently high concentration of acidity in the duodenal bulb.

One hundred and thirty nine adult patients with dyspeptic complaints had upper gastrointestinal endoscopy with multiple biopsies performed at defined sites in the gastric antrum and duodenal bulb.

Ulcers located in the posterior or lower walls of the duodenal bulb and in the upper portion of the lesser curvature of the stomach are the most difficult to reach.

Metoclopramide increases peristalsis of the jejunum and duodenum, increases tone and amplitude of gastric contractions, and relaxes the pyloric sphincter and duodenal bulb.

Endoscopic biopsies (N:2) were taken from each of the following sites; the mid-greater curve of the body, the greater curve in the antrum at least 2 cm from the pylorus and from the duodenal bulb.

Duodenal and antral mucosal biopsy specimens were obtained from 139 patients with dyspeptic complaints to study the prevalence and extent of gastric metaplasia in the duodenal bulb in relation to Helicobacter pylori (H pylori ) infection and duodenal ulcer disease.
