from Database PubMed and Proquest, it is sufficient to conclude that Lansoprazole proved to be a more effective and safe than Omeprazole. INTRODUCTION The stomach naturally produces acid, which is mainly responsible for food digestion and the destruction of any foreign pathogen or bacteria ingested with food. Acid is secreted by stimulating the partial
erosion within the walls three particular areas of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT); the oesophagus, the stomach or the duodenum. This is due to the excessive production of stomach acid, consisting of hydrochloric acid (HCl) and the enzyme pepsin, required for digestion in the gastrointestinal tract; this can also lead the acid to reach the oesophagus. Under normal circumstances the linings are protected from the irritation of the acidity via the formation of a mucus and bicarbonate barrier. However obstruction
stimulated. This process occurs in order to increase gastric and pancreatic juices in response to food entering the stomach.(1) Gastrin hormone is a hormone that is secreted by Gastrin cells ( G cells) by the pyloric gland which is located in the antral portion of the stomach. It is a large peptide which is secreted in two forms: G-34 which consist of 34 amino acids and its the large form of gastin, and the G-17 that consist of 17 amino acids and it is the small form of gastrin which is more abundant
Acid is produced naturally in your stomach to help you digest food and to kill bacteria. This acid irritates the stomach lining so our body produces a natural mucus barrier which protects it. Sometimes this barrier may be damaged thus allowing the acid to damage the stomach causing inflammation, ulcers and other conditions. Other times, there may be a problem with the muscular band at the top of the stomach that keeps the stomach tightly closed and this allows the acid to escape and irritate the
Lansoprazole medications are drug for proton pump inhibitor. By inhibiting the amount of proton pump, it will decrease the amount of acid produced in the stomach and will increase in pH. Lansoprazole is also to treat and prevent stomach and intestinal ulcers, esophagitis, which is damaged esophagus due to stomach acid and other conditions that involve in excessive stomach acid. Lansoprazole, however, is not treatment for immediate heartburn. Taking lansoprazole can also increase in risk of bone fracture
Interview: 2004? In 1977, Dr. Rosalyn Yalow became a co-winner for the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for the development of the radioimmunoassay (RIA). Unfortunately, her colleague, Solomon Berson, passed away before he could receive his share of the prize. At an early age, Yalow was mostly interested in mathematics and chemistry. However, when she began her studies at Hunter Women’s College in New York, she became fascinated by physics and completed her graduate studies at the University
In 1976 a pharmaceutical beta blocker named Atenolol (a synthetic derivative of isopropylamino-propanol) was discovered and developed by the Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) to treat common cardiovascular disorders (6). To fully understand Atenolol one must first recognize that it is specifically a beta-1 adrenoceptors antagonist. This is crucial because beta blockers follow strict classification guidelines in regards to the specific receptors they will interact with. These receptors are known
investigations revealed high urinary sodium level (36 mmol\L), elevated urinary osmolality (291 mmol/kg) and reduced serum osmolarity (235 mmol\kg). The low serum urea (11.0 mg/dL), serum creatinine (0.4mg\dL) and low uric acid (2.2 mg/dL) added substance to the
These conditions mainly include gastroenteritis, acid reflux, vomiting and stress. The exact cause of stomach ache can be diagnosed with the help of a number of tests. The diagnosed cause mostly helps to narrow down the choice of treatment. Here are four most effective ways to cure this common yet painful
Thousands of deaths in United States of America alone are smoking associated. Smoking reduces the life of an average smoker by 12 years. According to WHO, Smoking is estimated to cause 10 million deaths worldwide per year by 2010. Smoking has many hazardous effects on both smokers and the people around smokers. It’s damaging the environment and contributing to the global warming. Being a dentist it’s my responsibility to discuss the damaging effects of smoking and persuade everyone to quit smoking
the stomach, it mixes with gastric juice, starts protein digestion, and absorbs a limited amount. Here the chief cells secrete the inactive enzyme pepsinogen and the parietal calls secrete hydrochloric acid. When mixed together, they create pepsin. The pepsin works to breakdown the two grams of protein present in the Cheetos. Hormones are also present in the stomach and aid in the digestion process. The hormone, gastrin, increases the secretory activity of gastric glands. In the stomach, some

esophagus. The stomach, which is in the essence a large muscle sack, contains three sets of glands which produce gastric fluids. One set produces mucus which coats the food, making it slippery, and it protects the stomach walls from being digested by its own secretions. The second set of manufactures hydrochloric acid, which aids in the "break-down" of foods. In conjuction with hydrochloric acid, pepsin, which aids in the "break-down" of protein into smaller polypeptides, begins the process of protein
are three main types of OTC drugs. They are as follows: ·Aspirin (salicylic acid acetate) is an anti-inflammatory (decreases swelling and inflammation), anti-pyretic (fever reducing), and anti-platelet (decreases platelets in the body to thin blood). Many heart treatment patients take an aspirin a day to prevent blood clotting. However, if aspirin is taken in large quantities over long periods of time, it may cause gastric ulcers or other internal damage. The molecular formula of aspirin is C9H8O4
A Second Chance at Life: Gastric Bypass Surgery In the recent years, American adults and even children have become morbidly obese, which has fueled a campaign for an effective intervention. The intervention that is beginning to receive widespread popularity is gastric bypass surgery. According to Tish Davidson and Teresa G. Odle in the article ‘Obesity Surgery,’ “gastric bypass surgery [is] probably the most common type of obesity surgery; gastric bypass surgery has been performed in the United
Purpose The purpose of the experiment was to examine the amount of acid neutralized by using an unknown sample of antacid. Theory Antacids are the oldest most effective known medications for treating heartburn.4 An antacid is used to neutralize hydrochloric acid, the gastric acid found inside the stomach. When the hydrochloric acid backs up out of the stomach and into the esophagus it causes heart burn.1 The antacids contain a mixture of weak bases such as magnesium hydroxide Mg(OH)2, aluminum
tablets was 7.8409x10-3 moles. The average number of moles per gram neutralized by the Mylanta tablets was 6.3122x10-3 moles. It is obvious that Rennie antacids can neutralize more acid than Mylanta antacids. The Rennie antacids are also more cost effective as it costs less per tablet, they are more effective at neutralizing acid and therefore require a smaller dosage and also have no side effects unlike the Mylanta antacids which can cause diarrhoea. Introduction Background Information There are
Tablets Investigation Aim: My aim of this investigation is to find out the composition of tablets which are for indigestion and compare their prices. I will find out the indigestion tablet which reacts and dissolves quickly with Hydrochloric Acid and produces more bubbles. Introduction: Indigestion, also known as upset stomach or dyspepsia, is discomfort or a burning feeling in the upper abdomen, often accompanied by nausea, abdominal bloating, belching, and sometimes vomiting. Indigestion
who said that sour tasting substances were oxein, later mutated into the word vinegar acetum which became to “acid”. These substances were eventually found out not only to define sour things, but also be able to change litmus paper and corrode metals. On the contrary, bases were defined and studied by their ability to counteract acids and followed behind chemical characterizations of acids. The more rigid term called alkaline is from an Arabic root word roasting because the first bases were from the
What Are Acids And Alkalis? Acids and alkalis are opposites. They are both different groups of chemicals. From cleaning products, skincare and food to dangerous car battery, they are everywhere around us. You can tell how dangerous they are from the potential hydrogen (pH) scale (As shown on the left) The pH scale show how weak or strong an acid and alkali are, 1 being acidic and 14 being alkaline. The 7 in the center stands for neutral (Soren Peder Lauritz Sorensen, 1909). Acid/Alkali In Houses
