background: half of the world's population is infected with helicobacter pylori. this organism is one of the main causes of peptic ulcer disease, gastritis and gastric cancer. this infection is most frequently acquired in childhood. there is strong evidence that eradication of infection improves healing and reduces the risk of recurrence and rebleeding in patientswith duodenal or gastric ulcer....

introduction: helicobacter pylori infections occur in about 50% of the world population and have a main role in the creation of peptic ulcer and its related cancer. we sought to evaluate the effectiveness of two treatment regimens on the eradication of helicobacter pylori and its complications among peptic ulcer patients. materials and methods: by a clinical trial, patients with peptic ulcer sh...

background the use of quadruple therapy for helicobacter pylori ( h. pylori ) eradication is a highly efficacious, gold standard regimen. however, according to a num­ber of studies, this regimen has numerous compliance problems and adverse effects. in the current study we have evaluated the h. pylori eradication rate following a quadruple therapy that included omeprazole, bismuth subcitrate, am...

background: association between helicobacter pylori (hp) infection and migraine and the effect of hp eradication on relief of migraine headache have been studied but the results are controversial. objectives: to evaluate the effect of hp eradication in treatment of patients affected by migraine. materials and methods: eighty consecutive hp infected patients affected by migraine without aura wer...

The case for global eradication of measles was first made in 1982. Since then, technical aspects of measles eradication have concluded that measles satisfied all criteria required for eradication. To date, only smallpox, among human diseases, has been eradicated, with polio, the next eradication candidate. In all previous eradication programmes, the pattern of slow implementation and missed dea...

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication therapy alone is insufficient to ensure healing of large ulcers with H. pylori-positive gastric ulcer (GU). The question of what is the optimum antiulcer treatment following H. pylori eradication therapy has not been fully elucidated. Furthermore, the ulcer healing effects of eradication therapy itself with H. pylori-positive duodenal ulcer (DU) have ...

 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...

Eradication is the elimination of every single individual of a species from an area to which recolonization is unlikely to occur. Cost-benefit analyses of eradication programs involve biases that tend to underestimate the costs and overestimate the benefits. In this review, we (a) highlight limitations of current cost-benefit analyses, (b) assess eradication strategies from biological and socio...

To investigate whether Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) eradication would influence the risk of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) in patients with peptic ulcer disease. From the Longitudinal Health Insurance Database 2000, 6061 patients with peptic ulcer and receiving H pylori eradication therapy were recruited. The study cohort was subdivided into early (within 1 year) and late (after 1 year) e...
