Abstract
The aim of the study was to determine whether duodenal ulcer is associated with depression. Forty-three patients with endoscopically proven symptomatic ulcers were compared with 43 control persons matched for age, sex, and social class. Depression was assessed by the Beck Inventory. Duodenal ulcer patients had a higher mean score than controls, and this difference was probably due to the possession of a chronic disease rather than typical duodenal ulcer. Only one patient showed moderate depression, and none were severely depressed.

An analysis has been made of 235 deaths that occurred among 1905 patients with peptic ulcer who constituted a random sample of the occurrence of ulcer disease in an area of Denmark comprising half a million inhabitants, finding that in women the mortality rate attributable to cardiac and vascular diseases was lower than expected.

Findings provide support for the validity of the unipolar-bipolar distinction and are consistent with the concept that vulnerability to manic-depressive disorders may be related to membrane disturbances.

It is assumed that the previously shown antisecretory effect of the drug, together with the sedative and anti-depressive effect, make trimipramine a valuable drug in the treatment of peptic ulcer disease.

The effect of endogenously released pancreatic glucagon on pentagastrin-stimulated lower esophageal sphincter pressure (LES-P) was studied in 10 healthy subjects and glucagon was released by continuous intravenous infusion of 1-arginine in a dose of 0.6 g/kg-h, which resulted in plasma concentrations comparable to those seen after a protein meal.
