Sheldon-area historical tornado activity is below South Carolina state average. It is 32% smaller than the overall U.S. average. On 4/9/1998, a category F3 (max. wind speeds 158-206 mph) tornado 40.7 miles away from the Sheldon place center killed 2 people and injured 17 people and caused $3 million in damages.
Similar results have been found in other studies [17] [18]. Based on these reports we have defined hard-to-heal ulcers in this study as venous leg ulcers with an initial area of 10cm2 or greater and a duration of six months or more.
Treatment of peptic ulcer disease should include eradication of H. pylori in patients with this infection (Table 419,21â25) . The recommended duration of therapy for eradication is 10 to 14 days; however, shorter treatment courses (regimens of one, five, and seven days) are being assessed.pper gastrointestinal bleeding occurs in 15 to 20 percent of patients with peptic ulcer disease. It is the most common cause of death and the most common indication for surgery in the disease. In older persons, 20 percent of bleeding episodes result from asymptomatic ulcers.
