CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE PHYSIOLOGY OF THE STOMACH

Abstract

The studies on gastric ulcer as presented here are the first of a series of studies on the pathologic physiology of the stomach and duodenum in the condition of ulcer of these parts of the gastrointestinal tract. I. THE OCCURENCE OF ULCER AND OTHER PATHOLOGIC LESIONS IN THE STOMACH AND THE DUODENUM OF THE DOG AS JUDGED FROM ONE THOUSAND NECROPSIES In a series of studies to be made on a pathologic physiologic condition it is obviously essential to make a study of the frequency of the occurrence of that condition in the animal used. A large amount of work has been done on gastric ulcer in which the dog has been the chief experimental animal. There are only two reports in the literature concerning the frequency of the occurrence of ulcer in the dog. Turck¹reports a series of necropsies on 189 healthy and 82 diseased dogs in which
