  XI. Splanchnology. 1F. The Stomach. Gray, Henry. 1918. Anatomy of the Human Body.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The chief modifications are determined by (1) the amount of the stomach contents, (2) the stage which the digestive process has reached, (3) the degree of development of the gastric musculature, and (4) the condition of the adjacent intestines.
In the erect posture the empty stomach is somewhat J-shaped; the part above the cardiac orifice is usually distended with gas; the pylorus descends to the level of the second lumbar vertebra and the most dependent part of the stomach is at the level of the umbilicus.
The position of the full stomach depends, as already indicated, on the state of the intestines; when these are empty the fundus expands vertically and also forward, the pylorus is displaced toward the right and the whole organ assumes an oblique position, so that its surfaces are directed more forward and backward.

 Stomach (Gastric) Cancer
A rare subtype of stomach cancer is scirrhous carcinoma, or linitus plastica, a poorly differentiated mixture of mucin-producing carcinoma cells that infiltrates the muscle wall and turns the stomach tissue rigid and leatherlike, limiting its distensibility and preventing normal digestion.
Bulky tumors in the upper portion of the stomach and the GE junction are sometimes treated first with chemotherapy and radiation (neoadjuvant therapy), with the idea to shrink them enough to permit a better chance of resecting the entire tumor.
Cancers of the upper portion of the stomach are generally treated with a total gastrectomy, whereas patients with cancers of the lower portion of the stomach undergo partial gastrectomy.

 Gastroparesis
A gamma camera is placed over the stomach to measure the rate at which the stomach digests and empties the food.
Fluid is also secreted into the stomach along with the acid and may contribute to fullness, bloating and vomiting.
This is because the stomach is unable to grind the food into particles small enough to pass into the intestine.

 Boxer Rescue - Gastric Torsion (Bloat)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Basically the stomach turns round on its axis because of the increased motility and becomes wedged in an abnormal position.
When this happens the input "pipe" and the output "pipe" to the stomach twist round, a bit like twisting a kitchen glove, and become blocked.
In the stomach, the fermentation process continues unabated and a great deal of gas is produced which cannot escape, and the stomach bloats out to a giant size.

 Student Experiment 7- Why does Alka-Seltzer make your upset stomach better?
Bromphenol blue turns yellow in the presence of excess acid, as is the case when the vinegar is added to the water.
Alka-Seltzer is a "buffer" which keeps your stomach from being too acidic.
This is demonstrated by the fact that the Alka-Seltzer turns the solution back to blue – indicating the acid has been neutralized.

 007. When the body turns blue
If at this time somebody turned the body, so that it came to lie on its stomach, the blood collected at the back would start moving to the chest and stomach, because in the new position these are the portions which are lying lowest.
It is because fixation involves clotting of blood and the clotted blood does not move.
Turning the body over on its stomach now would not cause shifting of p.m.

 What is As the World Turns   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
While this may be a testimony both to Fulton's acting ability and Irna Phillips's careful, hyper-realistic storytelling, threats of physical assault prompted Fulton to hire the services of a bodyguard to accompany her around New York.
At a time when soaps were under pressure to become more relevant and reflect the enormous societal changes of the period, Kim was conceived as an ideal of the burgeoning women's movement: a strong, smart, self-made career woman who did not require a man to define her identity.
Emmy-winning All My Children writer Lorraine Broderick would eventually be brought in to write As the World Turns, returning the program to its traditional character-based storytelling and replacing the shallow and simplistic writing of the mid- 1990s with more complex storytelling and (as MADD termed it) "operatic" approach to drama.

 Solano Pet Emergency Clinic ~ TOPIC: Gastric Dilatation-Volvulus (Bloat)
The stomach turns over, compromising blood circulation and the stomach's ability to release any gases or fluid.
There appear to be many predisposing factors such as altered stomach motility (resulting from factors such as drugs, anesthesia, trauma, etc), obstruction of the outflow tract of the stomach by foreign bodies/tumors, and excessive exercise after ingestion of a large meal.
During surgery, the stomach is decompressed and "pexied" or tacked down to the body wall.

 NEXIUM® (esomeprazole magnesium) turns off acid pumps for acid reflux disease sufferers   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The lining of your stomach contains millions of special cells that produce acid via "acid pumps." It is the job of these pumps to produce the acid to help digest food.
NEXIUM works by deactivating (turning off) some of the pumps.
By reducing acid production in the stomach, NEXIUM reduces the chance of acid backing up into the esophagus and causing heartburn symptoms.
