The data from a large autopsy material such as the authors' would fill a few of the gaps in knowledge in an aging population, it becomes increasingly important to know what coexistent or complicating disease the physician must be prepared to meet.

It is shown that ulcer is more common in wet and humid areas than in the dry and arid regions and parasympathetic overaction also appears to contribute to ulcer formation.

From a survey of deaths due to arteriosclerosis, including coronary heart disease, among Railway populations in India, conducted by the Ministry of Railways in 1963, the author was impressed by the geographical variations and decided to explore morbidity due to myocardial infarction among railwaymen.

Variations in some of the properties of saliva have been examined by quantitative methods and were ascribed to the differences in the food habits producing different kinds of salivary secretions.

Serum lipid levels in 28 pairs of age-matched railwaymen from two geographically different population groups with disparate consumption of fats and showing big differences in mortality rates from ischemic heart disease showed no significant differences in total and ester cholesterol, free and estersified fatty acids, and total serum triglycerides.
GutA study of the effect of saliva on the concentration of mucin in gastric juice and its possible relationship to the aetiology of peptic ulcer.
25 Citations1967S. L. Malhotra
This interesting paper suggests that the consistency of food affects the quality of gastric mucus derived from swallowed saliva, foods needing much mastication stimulating a high salivary output, which may help to protect against peptic ulceration.
Scandinavian Journal of GastroenterologyProtective Action of Saliva in Peptic Ulceration
19 Citations1967S. L. Malhotra
The results showed that the gastric acidity was significantly reduced by the ingestion of saliva both in the case of fluid as well as solid meals, which has implications with regard to the possible protective action of saliva in peptic ulceration.
