Autonomic nervous system tone condition in gastric diseases

Abstract

Studying vegetative nervous system in patients with various diseases of internal organs, we, by the way, paid attention also to its condition in gastric patients. It was interesting for us to check results of researches of other authors in this direction and also to trace connection of vegetative nervous system with types of gastric cell secretion in various gastric diseases. We determined the tone of autonomic nervous system by the method of Danilopolu and Garniol'a, as relatively more exact and devoid of sub'ectivism. We did not see any threatening, harmful influences on the patients from this method application. We studied 41 patients from 25 to 45 years old. Of them 20 patients had peptic ulcers (16 cases) and 12 duodenal ulcers (4 cases), 6 patients had hyperacidity, 12 patients had subacid and anacid catarrhs and 3 patients had stomach cancer.
