On the pathology of gastric secretion of the peasant population

As you know, the majority of gastric suffering is based on the pathology of the secretory and motor function of the stomach, depending or without it on the organic changes in its anatomical and physiological structure. In the presence of a complex of anamnestic and objective data, the state of secretion in each given case is laid on the basis for the diagnosis of gastric diseases, why the laboratory data in connection with the clinic serve as the starting material in our article. We took the result of chemical studies of gastric juice carried out in the Ardatov laboratory for 10 years from 1919 to 1928 inclusive in the amount of 2277 cases. We believe that this material is sufficient to reveal some aspects of the pathology of the function of the gastric glands depending on the conditions of nutrition and life of the peasant population, especially since in relation to nutrition during this period of time the population was in very different conditions.
