Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD) represents disruption of gastroduodenal mucosal integrity caused by an imbalance between aggressive factors (gastric acid, pepsin, Helicobacter pylori, NSAIDs) and protective mucosal mechanisms. For medical educators, clinical trainers, and congress presenters, communicating this interplay requires visuals that connect cellular physiology with diagnostic pathways and therapeutic decision-making.
The Peptic Ulcers Overview Presentation Template provides a structured framework to teach PUD from anatomy and pathophysiology through pharmacologic and surgical management.
Below is a guide to leveraging the template for professional and academic audiences.
Begin by establishing localization and disease context.
Start with the “Peptic Ulcers Introduction” slide:
Use the “Peptic Ulcers Types” slide to differentiate:
This provides anatomical grounding for symptom interpretation and endoscopic findings.
Use labeled diagrams (Cardia, Fundus, Body, Antrum, Pylorus) to correlate epigastric pain patterns and ulcer location with specific gastric regions. This supports clinical localization during case discussions.
For medical education and pharmacology training, transition to microscopic structure.
Introduce key cellular components:
This establishes the foundation for understanding acid regulation and therapeutic targets.
For clinical pharmacology and public health discussions, focus on etiology.
Use the visual sequence to demonstrate how this gram-negative organism:
Highlight its central role in duodenal and many gastric ulcers.
The arachidonic acid pathway illustrates:
This clearly links NSAID exposure to impaired mucosal defense.
Use iconography to discuss:
Frame these as modifiers that amplify acid-mediated injury rather than primary causes.
For clinicians and trainees, emphasize structured evaluation.
Outline standard investigations:
Reinforce endoscopy’s role in excluding malignancy, particularly in gastric ulcers.
Organize treatment by mechanism:
This sequence reinforces stepwise acid suppression strategies.
For complicated or refractory disease, use procedural visuals to explain:
These slides support understanding of anatomical modification in acid reduction.
This template links parietal cell biochemistry with clinical outcomes such as bleeding and perforation. It enables seamless progression from cyclooxygenase inhibition and gastrin signaling to endoscopic diagnosis and operative management, making it well suited for medical faculty lectures, residency training, and gastroenterology congress presentations.
