1. To evaluate of the effect of adding licorice to the standard treatment regimen of Helicobacter pylori
ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of licorice in H. pylori eradication in patients suffering from dyspepsia either with peptic ulcer disease (PUD) or non-ulcer dyspepsia (NUD) in comparison to the clarithromycin-based standard triple regimen. Methods: In this randomized controlled clinical trial, 120 patients who had posi

2. Efficacy of levofloxacin, amoxicillin and a proton pump inhibitor in the eradication of Helicobacter pylori in Brazilian patients with peptic ulcers
OBJECTIVES: The eradication of Helicobacter (H.) pylori allows peptic ulcers in patients infected with the bacteria to be cured. Treatment with the classic triple regimen (proton pump inhibitor, amoxicillin and clarithromycin) has shown decreased efficacy due to increased bacterial resistance to clarithromycin. In our country, the eradication rate by intent

3. Reinfecção pelo Helicobacter pylori em pacientes brasileiros com úlcera péptica, em seguimento de 5 anos / Helicobacter pylori reinfection in brazilian patients with peptic ulcer disease, a five year follow-up
Introdução: A reinfecção pelo Helicobacter pylori em países em desenvolvimento parece ser maior do que nos países desenvolvidos. O retratamento da bactéria e o controle periódico de cura são necessários, quando elevadas taxas de reinfecção são verificadas. O objetivo do trabalho foi determinar a taxa anual de reinfecção, em pacientes brasileir

4. Aspectos endoscópicos no manejo da úlcera péptica gastroduodenal
Bleeding remains a common and a potential lethal complication for peptic ulcer disease. Multidisciplinary approach by endoscopists, surgeons and intensive care physicians is necessary to improve results for this severe complication. In this article we intend to introduce surgeons and intensive care physicians to endoscopic concepts and maneuvers commonly use

5. Helicobacter pylori and peptic ulcer disease.
Medical therapy for duodenal or gastric ulcer disease has traditionally involved gastric acid antisecretory therapy for 4 to 8 weeks to promote initial healing and indefinitely to prevent recurrences of ulcer. The discovery of Helicobacter pylori in most patients with peptic ulcer disease has led to a change in this approach. Therapy designed to eradicate H

6. Role of Helicobacter pylori in gastrointestinal disease: implications for primary care of a revolution in management of dyspepsia.
The majority of patients with dyspepsia are managed in general practice. However, most of the literature on Helicobacter pylori and its association with gastrointestinal disease has originated from secondary care. This review summarizes the role of H pylori in dyspepsia from the perspective of primary care and suggests a new strategy for the management of dy

7. The role of screening for Helicobacter pylori in patients with duodenal ulceration in the primary health care setting.
BACKGROUND: It is known that at least 90% of duodenal ulcers are caused by infection with the bacterium Helicobacter pylori. Eradicating this organism usually results in complete resolution of the disease. Testing for H pylori was introduced relatively recently, and thus, many patients known to have uncomplicated peptic ulcer disease who continue to need lon

8. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Proposed guidelines for monitoring toxicity.
The most common toxicities of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are gastropathy, renal dysfunction, and liver function abnormalities. We outline an approach to monitoring patients on long-term NSAID therapy, focusing on the early detection of complications. Gastropathy caused by NSAID use is more common in elderly patients or those with a history

9. Effects of Lansoprazole and Amoxicillin on Uptake of [14C]Clarithromycin into Gastric Tissue in Rats
Triple therapy consisting of clarithromycin (CLR), lansoprazole (LPZ), and amoxicillin (AMZ) is effective as eradication therapy for patients with peptic ulcer disease and Helicobacter pylori infection. We evaluated the effects of LPZ and AMZ on the uptake of [14C]CLR into the gastric tissue of rats. After administration of [14C]CLR alone or in combination w

10. Current European concepts in the management of Helicobacter pylori infection. The Maastricht Consensus Report. European Helicobacter Pylori Study Group.
There is considerable confusion over the management of Helicobacter pylori infection, particularly among primary care physicians, and numerous European countries lack national guidelines in this rapidly growing area of medicine. The European Helicobacter Pylori Study Group therefore organised a meeting in Maastricht of H pylori experts, primary care physicia

11. Comparison of Fluorescent In Situ Hybridization and Conventional Culturing for Detection of Helicobacter pylori in Gastric Biopsy Specimens
In this study, we have investigated 201 gastric biopsy specimens obtained from dyspeptic patients for the presence of Helicobacter pylori. By means of fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) with rRNA-targeted fluorescence-labeled oligonucleotide probes specific for H. pylori, this pathogen was detected in 63 biopsy specimens. By using conventional culturin

12. Incidence of serious complications of corticosteroid therapy in respiratory disease: A retrospective survey of patients in the Brompton Hospital
A retrospectively controlled study is described of mortality and serious morbidity in 550 patients treated with corticosteroids and 499 controls. The overall incidence of side-effects was similar in both groups, but gastro-intestinal bleeding, diabetes, and mental disturbance early in treatment occurred more frequently in the corticosteroid group.
