Background: There are two forms of ITP: acute and chronic. The chronic form is defined by persistent thrombocytopenia for more than 12 months and mostly occurs among young women. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the clinical variables in adult patients with chronic ITP in West Iran. Patients and Methods: Between of 2007 and 2014, ninety adult patients with chronic ITP referred to...

conclusions findings of this study demonstrate no significant difference between levels of h. pylori specific antibodies of iga, igg, anti-caga and the presence of pcos disorders, and also indicate that serologic testing is a sensitive method for the detection of h. pylori antibodies. the high prevalence of h. pylori positive antibody levels in both pcos and non-pcos patients can be probably as...

helicobacter pylori (h. pylori) infection has been reported in more than half of the world human population. it is associated with gastric inflammation and noticeable infiltration of the immune cells to the stomach mucosa by several cytokines secretion. il-1β, il-18 have been shown to contribute to h. pylori induced gastritis, but the details of inflammation and association of virulence factors...

background and aims. the high prevalence of helicobacter pylori among the microorganisms isolated from the oral environment brings up the question of whether oral cavity acts as a reservoir for this bacterium. the aim of the present study was to determine and compare the prevalence of h. pylori in gingival crevicular fluid (gcf) of patients with chronic periodontitis (cp) as an infectious disea...

conclusions helicobacter pylori infection has a significant effect on platelet count in patients with citp and h. pylori eradication therapy should be considered as an important factor in platelet count recovery in citp patients. results from a total of 23 patients with citp, 43% (10) of the cases were h. pylori positive and after eradication therapy, eight patients (80%) were successfully trea...

background : data concerning the information on the prevalence and association of the helicobacter pylori cytotoxinassociated gene a (caga) with disease is still controversial. the aim of this study was to isolate and identify h. pylori by culture methode from biopsy specimens and its relationship with associated diseases by molecular techniques (pcr). materials and methods: gastric biopsy spec...

conclusions there was a significant correlation between crs and presence of h. pylori in sinonasal mucosa. this relationship may reflect the role of h. pylori as one of the pathogenic factors in the development of crs. however, further studies are required to confirm this role. results nine patients (18%) with crs had h. pylori isolated from their samples whereas in the control group, h. pylori...

objective: it has been noted that the presence of helicobacter pylori (h. pylori) in the oral cavity may affect the outcome of eradication therapy. this condition is associated with the recurrence of gastric infection. the optimum secretion of saliva promotes oral health consequently influencing h. pylori eradication. the purpose of this study was to investigate the relation between salivary se...

in this study, a medicinal plant, galla rhois (gr), was examined and screened for its anti-helicobacter pylori activity. galla rhois was extracted with 70% ethanol. inhibitory zone tests, as in vitro assays, and an in vivo study using a mongolian gerbil (meriones unguiculatus) model were performed. the safety of the gr extract was then evaluated in an animal study. the galla rhois extract demon...

Background Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is believed to be the most common bacterial infection worldwide. Herein, we aimed to investigate the effect of red rose extract on H. pylori eradication in 9 to 15 year-old children. Materials and Methods In this randomized controlled clinical trial,by the convenience sampling method...
