RESUMO
Upper-gastrointestinal bleeding may be related to tension or fear, which are commonly aggravating factors in digestive diseases. A survey was made of patients living in and around Hadera (located in Israel's central coastal region) during the Gulf War (January 18 through February 28, 1991) who suffered from upper-gastrointestinal bleeding; they were compared with patients seen during 1990 and 1992-1993 at the same time of the year. We found no appreciable difference in the rate of upper-gastrointestinal bleeding during the analogous periods covered in the survey.
