Atrophic corpus

GNB = Gram-negative bacilli PPI = proton pump inhibitor Hp = H. pylori. a Patients with peptic ulcer disease and reflux esophagitis. b Early stage of atrophic corpus gastritis of limited extension (less common). 

The prevalence of Gram-negative bacilli colonization depends on the type of surgery (see text). d Atrophic corpus gastritis (prevalent in the elderly due to the high prevalence and duration of H. pylori colonization in this age cohort). 

Table 1. Natural history of atrophic corpus gastritis prevalence and annual increment (cohorts without gastric disease)...

Gastritis Atrophic gastritis has been noted occasionally in gastric corpus biopsies from patients treated long-term with omeprazole and esomeprazole. 

Variations of the arterial vascular supply to the corpus spongiosum, to the urethra and glans are common. Asymmetry of the dorsal arteries is often recognized (Fig. 5.6), in which one artery is well developed, T diile the other is small, or even atrophic (Chiou et al. 1999).
