background: infections attributed to helicobacter pylori ( h. pylori ) involve almost half of the world's population. one of the effects is auto-antibody induction and cross-reaction with numerous proteins in the body. as a result of its widespread prevalence and importance, this study evaluates the associations between h. pylori and thyroid auto-antibodies. materials and methods: this study en...

BACKGROUND AND AIM We present a new clinical entity in relation to the Helicobacter pylori infection characterized by complex and varied clinical extra-digestive manifestations. Clinical findings such as asthenia, adynamia, sleep disorders, hair and nails modifications, digestive symptoms and heart rhythm disorders describe the clinical aspect of toxicosis associated with Helicobacter pylori in...

Introduction: Helicobacter pylori infection is associated with a wide range of digestive diseases and is very prevalent in developing countries, although few data exist on the susceptibility of helicobacter pylori to antimicrobial agents. The aim of this study was to determine the susceptibility patterns in helicobacter pylori strains isolated from patients in Kermanshah to twelve antimicrobial...

 ABSTRACT Background: Aspirin even at low dose ( 100 mg) can increase the risk of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. It is usual to use low dose aspirin for cardiovascular prophylaxis. We hypothesized that Helicobacter pylori eradication is as effective as omeprazole maintenance therapy for secondary prevention of bleeding in those who take low dose aspirin and are positive for Helicobacter pylor...

There is increasing evidence that certain microbial agents may have an etiopathogenic role in the development of atherothrombosis. Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium that causes peptic ulcer disease, has been suggested as one of the microbes involved in the development of atherothrombosis. This hypothesis is based on the following observations: a) a higher prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infect...

The extent of the regression of duodenal gastric metaplasia (DGM) after the eradication of Helicobacter pylori infection is controversial. Therefore, we decided to assess the degree of DGM before, sex weeks and one year after H. pylori eradication. 105 consecutive Helicobacter pylori positive patients with endoscopically proven duodenal ulcer, with DGM and Helicobacter pylori infection were rec...

introduction: helicobacter pylori (h. pylori) is a gastric pathogen of primates and causes active chronic gastritis as well as peptic ulcers. a wide range of studies is in effect to prevent or cure helicobacter infection and thus its associated disorders. in order to test various drug regimens as well as potential vaccines against h. pylori infection, a suitable animal model is required which s...

Background Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs(NSAIDs) including Ibuprofen is one of the most currently used drugs in all age groups and finding the relation between upper gastrointestinal bleeding and Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) in children who used Ibuprofen, is our topic of research. Materials and Methods During the two years of the study, ten children with upper GI bleeding after Ibup...

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...

HELICOBACTER PYLORI IN SLEEVE GASTRECTOMIES: Prevalence & Rate of Complications. Prevalence of Helicobacter pylori has not been established in sleeve gastrectomy specimens and yet initial observations indicate that it is significant. The aim is to determine prevalence of Helicobacter pylori and correlate with rate of post-operative complications. A total of 89 Sleeve gastrectomies were identifi...
