The press device for a paper web, such as a calender, contains a flexible moving element () forming an endless structure, said element forming the shell () of a roll, the press device including further a counter roll. Inside the moving element () there is a shoe element () that is arranged to support the shell () against the counter roll to form a nip (N). The width and/or the surface contour of the supporting surface of the shoe element () guiding the shell of the roll in the nip contact varies in the machine direction and the shoe element is positionable in the machine direction to adjust the nip width and/or length.

Method for diagnosing atrophic gastritis

The present invention concerns a method for assessing the risk of peptic ulcer by determining the presence and topographic phenotype of gastritis in an individual, by determining quantitatively the pepsinogen I and gastin-17 concentrations in a serum sample from the said individual, selecting a method-specific reference value and cut-off value for respective analyte, assessing the topography and phenotype of gastritis based on a comparison of the pepsinogen I and gastrin-17 concentrations so determined with their respective method-specific reference and cut-off values, and correlating the so assessed gastritis phenotype with the risk for peptic ulcer. Preferably alsoantibodies are determined in the sample.
