Peptic Ulcer Disease
An ulcer is defined as a breach in the mucosa of the alimentary tract, which extends through the muscularis mucosae into the submucosa or deeper. Although ulcers may occur anywhere in the alimentary tract, none are as prevalent as the peptic ulcers that occur in the duodenum and stomach. Acute gastric ulcers may also appear under conditions of severe systemic stress.
Peptic ulcers
Peptic ulcers are chronic , most often solitary, lesions that occur in any portion of the gastrointestinal tract exposed to the aggressive action of acid peptic juices. Peptic ulcers are usually solitary lesions less than 4 cm in diameter, located in the following sites, in order of decreasing frequency:
Duodenum, first portion
Stomach, usually antrum
At the gastroesophageal junction, in the setting of gastroesophageal reflux
Within the margins of a gastrojejunostromy
In the duodenum,stomach, or jejunum of patients with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
Within or adjacent to a Meckel diverticulum that contains ectopic gastric mucosa
In the United States, approximately 4 million people have peptic ulcers (duodenal and gasteric), and 350,000 new cases are diagnosed each year. Around 100,000 patients are hospitalized yearly , and about 3000 people die each year as a result of peptic ulcer disease. The lifetime likelihood of developing a peptic ulcer is about 10% for American men and 4% for women. Visit for Medical help
Peptic ulcers are remitting , relapsing lesions that are most often diagnosed in middle aged to older aged, but
I don't think it's news to anyone out there that one should avoid Network Solutions for domain registration and probably for anything else as well
The rest of my domains have been transfered away from Network Solutions.
The process wasn't hard.
It wasn't even really tedious,
it just took a bunch of waiting.
I would log into Network Solutions,
click past a bunch of needless notifications and upsells,
and request a domain transfer.
I would then get a chance to renew the domain for the low-low price of $19.95,
which technically is cheaper,
but still twice the price that my new registar,
Porkbun,
charges.
Click past that,
and I would have to wait up to four days in order to change my mind before Network Solutions send the transfer key.
You know,
to keep me from making a rash decision to stop paying them money.
Once I got the transfer key,
I would then transfer in the domain to Porkbun.
Network Solutions would then send an email 24 hours later,
informing me that I have four days to change my mind,
but I should talk to one of their ?transfer specialists? to help transfer my domain,
because Network Solutions is adamant that I don't rush into transfering my domains away from them and thus,
stop paying them.
Four days after that,
I would receive email from both Network Solutions and Porkbun that the domain
(or domains actually)
transfered over.
So the process was mostly a waiting game on the part of Network Solutions.
Now that I'm no longer using Network Solutions for domain registration,
I want to delete my account there.
Of course,
there's no link on the Network Solutions to delete my account,
you know,
to keep me from making a rash decision.
Nope,
I have to call to talk to an ?account specialist? to do that deed.
And it turns out,
there is no way for them to delete my account.
None.
Nada.
Zip.
Let that sink in?there is no way to delete your Network Solutions account!
They're damn adamant that I keep my account,
just in case!
The best I can do is delete my credit card information.
You know,
the same credit card information that you can't update what-so-ever.
In reality,
they have to manually delete the credit card information from my ?from now until the Heat Death of the Universe? account at Network Solutions.
Good Lord.
What a clown show!

they may first become evident in young adult life. They often appear without obvious precipitating influences and may then after a periof of weeks to months of active disease, heal with or without therapy. Even with healing however, the propensity to develop peptic ulcers remains in part because of the propensity for recurrent infections with H.pylori. The male to female ration for duodenal ulcers is about 3:1 and for gasteric ulcers about 1.5 to 2:1. Women are most often affected at or after menopause. For unknown reasons, there has been a significant decrease in the prevalence of duodenal ulcers over the past decades but little change in the prevalence of gastric ulcers.
Peptic ulcers appear to be produced by an imbalance between the gastroduodenal mucosal defense mechanisms and the damaging forces. Gastric acid and pepsin are requisite for all peptic ulcerations. Hyperacidity is not a prerequisite because only a minority of patients with duodenal ulcers have hyperacidity, and it is even less common in those with gastric ulcers. Gasric ulceration can rapidily occur when mucosal defenses fall, however as when mucosal blood flow drops gastric emptying is delayed or epithelial restitution is impaired.
