The patient is a 62 year old female with nausea and abdominal pain. Routine screening endoscopy shows a diffuse gastritis and biopsy reveals small bacteria in the superficial gastric mucus.
What type of organisms do you suspect?
The biopsy also shows lymphoepithelial lesions with lymphocytes
invading and destroying gastric glands. The gastric mucosa is
diffusely infiltrated by small mature lymphocytes. What is your
diagnosis?
How should this patient be treated?

When a plant grows, the atoms used come from carbon dioxide in the air and water. Plants are able to accomplish this through the process of photosynthesis, cellular respiration and biosynthesis of macromolecules.
Where does the energy come from that allow plants to synthesize the necessary biological macromolecules that allow it to grow? Hint: It is NOT from sunlight. Explain your answer.
