	Gastric Ulceration
		Gastric ulceration is the loss of a portion of the mucosal layer of the stomach with secondary inflammation and necrosis and, possibly, extension of the ulcer into the deeper portions of the stomach wall.
		All horse age groups are susceptible to ulceration, and there are two basic types of ulceration of the stomach of horses.
		From 1984-1988, an average of 53 cases of gastric ulceration per year was diagnosed with an average of 26 cases having perforation.

	Oral Ulceration
		Herpetic ulcerations tend to appear on keratinized tissues such as the hard palate or gingiva.
		Aphthous ulcerations tend to manifest on non-keratinized tissues such as the floor of the mouth, soft palate and lingual (bottom) surface of the tongue.
		Lab: May perform HSV cultures on oral ulcerations which appear on keratinized tissues or the dorsal and lateral surfaces of the tongue, scraping near margin of lesion; or open fresh vesicle if available.

	Gastric Ulceration in Sport Horses : Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University
		However, most practitioners recognize that stress seems to precipitate gastric ulceration in foals; and infrequent feeds of low-roughage, high carbohydrate foods and a high level of training have been implicated in adult horses.
		Horses that are not in training, rarely develop gastric ulceration.
		We suspect that the best prevention for gastric ulceration is to mimic, as best as possible, the life of a horse at free range.

	Corneal Ulceration - WSAVA 2004 Congress
		The diagnosis of corneal ulceration is usually quite straightforward and the use of fluorescein should be routine in any patient presenting with anterior segment pain.
		Central ulcers are usually associated with exposure or trauma whilst ulceration of the nasal quadrants suggests entrapped foreign bodies behind the membrana nictitans.
		Ulceration associated with eyelid abnormalities (distichiasis, entropion) can be confined to the peripheral areas of the cornea.

		The ulceration most commonly affects the ala nasi, with surgical management being difficult, as reconstruction of the defect with innervated skin has been shown to be the only effective method to produce satisfactory long-term results.
		On further review and questioning it became apparent that the patient was rather deaf and eccentric, with a repetitive habit of dabbing the side of her nose with a handkerchief.
		This was excised and a sensate flap raised from the left side of her nose incorporating the external nasal nerve was transposed to fill the defect (Figure 2).

	Articles "Ulceration related to Varicose Vein Insufficiency"
		Once there is an insufficiency of the venous function (by destruction of the valves or dilatation of the veins), a venous stasis formation occurs in the lower section of the leg which brings an exudation of the blood component into the surrounding tissue, followed by an edema.
		If the ulceration is secondary to deep venous insufficiency, we should find all of the characteristics of a post phlebitic syndrome (i.e.
		This insufficiency is often accompanied by an insufficiency of the greater saphenous and the ulceration will be mainly on the inner side of the ankle.

		The primary purpose of this article is to highlight the pathogenesis of noninfectious stromal ulceration.
		Pathophysiology: An understanding of the pathophysiology of sterile corneal ulceration requires a review of the processes involved in epithelial and stromal wound healing, as well as an examination of the role of precorneal tear film, corneal nerves, proteolytic enzymes, and cytokines.
		A sufficient supply of progenitor stem cells to facilitate epithelial cell proliferation is important for the cornea.

		Recalcitrant aphthous ulcerations should be treated with topical corticosteroids (eg, fluocinonide 0.05% or clobetasol 0.05% ointments mixed 1:1 with Orabase).

	How often does surgery for peptic ulceration eradicate Helicobacter pylori? Systematic review of 36 studies British ...
		We present a systematic review of these surveys and compare the type of surgery with the likelihood of persistent H pylori infection.
		We tabulated the type of surgery, the mean interval between surgery and testing for H pylori (average 10 years), the method of testing for H pylori (mostly histology), the site and number of gastric biopsies, and the prevalence of infection.
		Among the 33 reports identified we excluded five: one included unrepresentative patients (Hepato Gastroenterol 1994;41:542-5), and four did not provide separate results for patients with peptic ulceration (Helicobacter 1996; 1:270; Z Gastroenterol 1993;31:115-9) or patients who had had partial gastrectomy (Surg Gynecol Obstet 1993;176:594-8; Mat Med Pol 1994;88:13-6).
