Abstract
A four-year retrospective study of peptic ulcer disease in the Alaska Native confirmed our suspicion of a decreased ratio of duodenal to gastric ulcers. There were 92 patients with duo-denal ulcers, 75 with gastric ulcers, 6 with carcinoma of the stomach and 1 with gastric sarcoma. Ulcer disease in the Alaska Natives differs from ulcer disease among the Southwestern Indians as reported by Sievers.Entities:
