This study was designed to investigate the relations between gastric acid secretion and
alkalinisation of the urine. Normal subjects underwent standard pentagastrin (6 …

Peak acid output in response to sham feeding and changes in urine acid output 2 and 3
hours after a test meal have been measured in 20 normal volunteers, 17 asymptomatic …

We have devised a technique for simultaneously measuring the acid secretion into the
stomach and alkali into the duodenum by in situ titration using a modification of the …

The nature of hypersecretion of gastric acid in duodenal ulcer subjects remains
controversial. The duodenal ulcer patients, on an average, secrete more than twice the …

MATERIALS AND METHODS Eight adult male subjects were selected having a radio-
logically proven diagnosis of chronic duodenal ulcer without any evidence of pyloro …

Twenty-four hour intragastric pH during normal daily activity has been studied by
nasogastric intubation and aspiration of gastric samples in seven patients four years after …

METHOD It was not possible to use a continuous aspiration technique because, in order to
determine the antral response, it was necessary that the antrum should be stimulated by a …

The circadian pattern of gastric acidity was assessed in 53 normal subjects and in 33
patients with prior cholecystectomy using continuous pH monitoring. The 24-hour and …

EDITORIAL SYNOPSIS Basal and maximal (post-histamine) acid outputs were significantly
reduced in patients with cirrhosis. A subnormal secretory response to stimulation with …

Loss of the gastric acid barrier may lead to recurrent enteric infections, small intestinal
bacterial overgrowth, persistent diarrhoea, and thus malnutrition. To investigate this …
