Childrenwith Helicobacter infection need treatment. The aim of treatment is elimination of H.Pylori. Most patients with this infection are asymptomatic and without peptic disease. Treatment and management of these patients are controversy. Conventional Treatment: The best treatment for H. pylori eradication regimens should have cure rates of at least 80%, be without major side effects, and indu...

We evaluated factors associated with the speed of the new regimen implementation process in this continent-sized country. METHODS We conducted an ecologi...

Costs of neurogenic bladder vary widely and depend on a number of factors including severity of disease, symptomatology, patient insurance, and devices required. Recognition of how each treatment strategy will impact the patient financially could help guide selection of treatment as well as improve compliance with the chosen regimen. We have attempted to provide an overview of long term cost co...

BACKGROUND Eradication of Helicobacter pylori with antimicrobials was recommended by a recent NIH consensus panel for all infected patients with peptic ulcer disease. The precise regimen that should be used for eradication of the infection remains uncertain because of the variety of regimens described, variable results with the regimens, and difficulties in predicting drug compliance outside cl...

PURPOSE To explore the published evidence on the link between treatment satisfaction and patients' compliance, adherence, and/or persistence. METHODS Articles published from January 2005 to November 2010 assessing compliance, adherence, or persistence and treatment satisfaction were identified through literature searches in Medline, Embase, and PsycInfo. Abstracts were reviewed by two indepen...
