  • Title: The management of peptic ulcer; an internist's approach.
    Author: JONES FA.
    Journal: Calif Med; 1955 Sep; 83(3):201-6. PubMed ID: 13250421.
    Abstract:
    Gastric and duodenal ulcers are common conditions. There is a good natural tendency to heal but medical care does facilitate healing and the prevention of relapse. Bed rest, light diet and attention to the anxiety factor still pay dividends. Unfortunately there have not been any major medical advances in recent years. With gastric ulcer, careful clinical and radiological observations will enable simple and malignant ulcers to be distinguished with considerable accuracy. The risk of gastrectomy is less than the risk of leaving a persistently unhealed ulcer, and should be undertaken if ulcers remain unhealed or if there are frequent relapses threatening economic security.
