Artwork showing dyspepsia & acid reflux treatment
Dyspepsia and reflux. Artwork of the effects of antacids in preventing acid reflux and dyspepsia (indigestion). The stomach is seen as a wire-frame model. Antacids (white arrows) are drugs which neutralise stomach acid. Gastro-oesophageal acid reflux (inset, upper left) occurs when stomach juices escape from the mucus-lined stomach into the oesophagus, causing pain from the chest to the throat. It may be due to a hiatus hernia, in which part of the stomach protrudes through the oesoph- agus opening in the diaphragm. The inset at lower right shows a secretory cell, which may produce acid or mucus. Drugs affecting the production of these may also be used to treat stomach pain

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the effects of antacids in treating dyspepsia and acid reflux. The print features a wire-frame model of the stomach, with white arrows representing antacid drugs that neutralize stomach acid. Inset at the upper left corner, we see an illustration of gastro-oesophageal acid reflux, where stomach juices escape into the oesophagus, causing discomfort from the chest to the throat. This condition can be caused by a hiatus hernia, depicted as part of the stomach protruding through the diaphragm's oesophagus opening. The lower right inset focuses on a secretory cell responsible for producing either acid or mucus in our digestive system. Medications that target these secretory cells can also be used to alleviate stomach pain associated with dyspepsia. Through this thought-provoking art piece, Science Photo Library highlights various aspects related to gastrointestinal health and treatment options for conditions like heartburn and acid reflux. It emphasizes how antacids play a crucial role in preventing these uncomfortable symptoms by neutralizing excess stomach acid. This image serves as both an educational tool and an aesthetic representation of medical science's advancements in understanding and managing disorders such as dyspepsia and gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
