AGE-RELATED TYPOLOGICAL AND MORPHOLOGICAL CHANGES OF THE STOMACH

Relevance of the study. Diseases of the digestive tract occupy one of the leading places in medical statistics and are one of the most common diseases of internal organs. The causes of their occurrence are malnutrition, poor environmental conditions, a sedentary lifestyle and pollution of the water supply. The bacterium Helicobacter pylori plays an important role in diseases of the digestive system. Pylori, as well as many stresses in human life, lead to deep depression and, as a result, damage to the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). The digestive tract is essentially a tube of various shapes, sizes, collecting apparatus and functions. Each section of the digestive tract can be subject to tumor damage, inflammatory changes of infectious and autoimmune origin, occurring in acute and chronic forms. But if we talk about the study of the digestive system, the hepatobiliary zone (liver, gallbladder, intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts, pancreas) cannot be excluded from the examination algorithm, as this significantly worsens the examination. A large number of articles and monographs are devoted to the section on radiology of the digestive tract. A number of domestic authors (VBAntonovich, ANKishkovsky, LATyutin, NUShniger, LMPortnoy) made an invaluable contribution to the development of this complex diagnostic direction of creation and modernization, redefinition of X-ray methods for studying the gastrointestinal tract.
