	Gastric Ulcers in Ferrets
		Presence of digested blood in the stomach of a ferret signifies the presence of a gastric ulcer.
		Actually, stress-induced gastric ulcers are most likely a combination of factors which serve to upset the imbalance between the normal acid secretion of the stomach, and the mechanisms by which the stomach lining protects itself against the acid's caustic capability.
		In animals who are exhibiting signs of gastric ulcers, treatment is symptomatic and often prolonged.

	Stomach (Gastric) Cancer
		Furthermore, gastric adenocarcinomas are further subclassified according to their gross appearance (polypoid, fungating, ulcerated, or infiltrative); their histologic features (intestinal or diffuse); and their location within the stomach (cardia, corpus, or antrum).
		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.
		Finally, gastric cancers are seen at increased frequency in certain familial cancer syndromes, such as hereditary non-polyposis colon cancer (HNPCC) and the E-cadherin familial stomach cancer syndrome (associated with the diffuse form of stomach cancer).

	Gastric Bypass Diet
		Gastric bypass is a type of surgery in which the stomach is reduced in size by one of several methods.
		After a gastric bypass, the volume the new, smaller stomach can hold is reduced from about 1 quart to about 1 ounce, or 2 tablespoons.
		Gastric bypass is usually performed only after many other methods of weight loss have been tried and failed.

	National Cancer Institute - Gastric Cancer Treatment
		Gastric cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the lining of the stomach.
		Gastric cancer begins in the cells lining the mucosal layer and spreads through the outer layers as it grows.
		Gastric cancer is often in an advanced stage when it is diagnosed.

	Gastric Bypass - Alvarado Bariatric Surgeons
		Gastric Bypass, Roux en-Y has been said to be the "gold standard" operation for the treatment of Morbid Obesity, for several years, meaning that it is a solidly established reference, to which other operations must measure up..
		Gastric Banding is a variation on the gastroplasty, in which the stomach is neither opened nor stapled -- a band is placed around the outside of the upper stomach, to create an hourglass-shaped stomach, and to produce a small pouch with a narrow outlet.
		After the gastric bypass (not after the gastric banding), a condition called "dumping syndrome" may occur, when sugar is taken on an empty stomach, passes rapidly through the stomach into the intestine, and draws a large amount of fluid into the bowel.

		Gastric ulcer disease is common in foals and horses and the term Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome (EGUS) has been used to describe this disease because of its many causes and complicated nature.
		Gastric ulcers in foals (less than 50 days of age) and adult horses are commonly located in the non-glandular region of the stomach adjacent to the margo plicatus along the greater curvature and lesser curvature.
		Gastric ulceration in the squamous mucosa is directly related to the degree and severity of gastric acid exposure.

	MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia: Gastric bypass
		Gastric bypass surgery is one type of procedure that can be used to cause significant weight loss if you are very obese.
		Gastric bypass surgeries are combination procedures that use both restriction and malabsorption to achieve weight loss.
		Gastric bypass surgery may be an option if you are significantly obese and have tried unsuccessfully to lose weight on diet and exercise programs and are unlikely to lose weight successfully with non-surgical methods.

	[P&S Medical Review:Nov:93] Treatment of Gastric Lymphoma
		Microscopically, low grade gastric lymphomas may be difficult to distinguish from pseudolymphoma, a term used to describe the lymphocytic infiltration of the gastric mucosa which may occur with chronic gastritis and peptic ulceration.
		Gastric lymphoma and adenocarcinoma may be difficult to distinguish, both clinically and pathologically.
		Furthermore, gastric lymphoma seems to be a more systemic disease with the majority of recurrences occurring at extraabdominal sites.[7],[8] In the absence of obvious persistent local disease, the need for additional local therapy with RT is put in question by these reports.

	eMedicine - Gastritis, Chronic : Article by Antonia R Sepulveda, MD, PhD
		The incidence of gastric cancer usually parallels the incidence of H pylori infection in countries with a high incidence of gastric cancer and is consistent with H pylori being the cause of the precursor lesion, chronic atrophic gastritis.
		H pylori organisms are found within the gastric mucous layer and frequently accumulate in groups of bacteria at the apical side of gastric surface cells, occasionally in the lower portions of the gastric foveolae, and rarely within the deeper areas of the mucosa in association with glandular cells.
		Gastric atrophy may result from the loss of gastric epithelial cells that were not replaced by appropriate cell proliferation, or atrophy may result because the epithelium was replaced by intestinal-type epithelium (intestinal metaplasia).

	Gastric bypass
		In a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, the stomach is made smaller by creating a small pouch at the top of the stomach using surgical staples or a plastic band.
		The smaller stomach is connected directly to the middle portion of the small intestine (jejunum), bypassing the rest of the stomach and the upper portion of the small intestine (duodenum).
		In a gastric bypass, the part of the intestine where many minerals and vitamins are most easily absorbed is bypassed.

		Dr. Charles Callery and Dr. Kyle Potts are general surgeons who specialize in performing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery for people with severe obesity.
		Gastric bypass surgery reduces the size of the stomach and allows food to pass quickly into the small intestine.

		A vagotomy (cutting the vagus nerve, which controls the stomach's production of gastric acid) or a partial gastrectomy (removal of part of the stomach) may be necessary.

	Gastric cancer
		Although the treatment of patients with disseminated gastric cancer may result in palliation of symptoms and some prolongation of survival, long remissions are uncommon.
		Surgical resection with regional lymphadenectomy is the treatment of choice for stage II gastric cancer.[1] If the lesion is not in the cardioesophageal junction and does not diffusely involve the stomach, subtotal gastrectomy is the procedure of choice.
		A role for antifolates, cisplatin and its analogues, and for pharmacologic modulation may be developing.[1] Patients with obstructive tumors in the gastric cardia may be relieved of dysphagia by endoscopic Nd:Yag or electrocautery destruction of the obstructing lesion.

		However, incidence of cancer of the upper stomach (proximal gastric cancer) has increased, primarily as a result of the prevalence of obesity and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
