[Peptic diseases].
There are no real therapeutical acquisitions in the year 2006. The latest breakthroughs related to peptic disease treatment are the subject of this article. In particular various therapeutic procedures in reflux disease, including Barrett's oesophagus are developed here. Two important items were emphasized in the treatment of gastric and duodenal ulcers, in particular Helicobacter pylori eradication and the treatment of bleeding ulcer. Prophylaxis of gastrointestinal lesions due to AINS is also approached in detail.
