The duodenum is located just below the stomach and plays an important role in the digestion of food by receiving partially digested food from the stomach and mixing it with digestive juices from the pancreas and liver. Duodenitis can be caused by a variety of factors, including infections, medications, alcohol abuse, smoking, stress, and certain medical conditions such as Crohn's disease and celiac disease. The most common symptoms of duodenitis include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, bloating, and a feeling of fullness after eating. Treatment for duodenitis depends on the underlying cause and may include medications to reduce inflammation, antibiotics to treat infections, lifestyle changes to avoid irritants such as alcohol and smoking, and in some cases, surgery. #duodenitis #duodenum #lecture Professor Armen Astvatsatryan, MD, PhD, ScD, Fellow of European Society of Cardiology.
