Background: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use and H pylori infection are two major causes of peptic ulcers. This study investigates the effect of H pylori infection and NSAIDs on gastroduodenal damages and bleeding (GIB). Methods: 104 patients with acute gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) and 102 patients with dyspepsia without bleeding were studied. Duodenal (DU) and gastric ulcers...

â  the adverse effects of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nsaids) on the upper gastrointestinal (gi) tract and small intestine are well established. the effect of such therapy on the large intestine, so called nsaid-induced colopathy, is less well described. nsaid-induced colopathy usually involves the right colon due to a higher concentration of the drug at this site, but the rectum may...

Background: Helicobacter Pylori (H.P) and Non Steroidal Anti inflammatory Drugs (NSAID) are the most common cause of peptic ulcer Disease (PUD). This study was designed to identify endoscopic, clinical and demographic features of patients with H.P positive in comparison with NSAID related PUD.Methods: From December 2004 to March 2008, 5885 patients underwent upper GI Tract endoscopy in a large ...

OBJECTIVE To compare the costs of treating osteoarthritis (OA) pain using combination tramadol/paracetamol tablets, Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Agents (NSAID) alone or NSAID plus proton pump inhibitors (PPI) from the perspective of the Spanish National Health System. METHODS A decision-analytical model was constructed to analyze the cost associated with three treatment strategies over 6 m...

INTRODUCTION Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) are commonly used in sports medicine. NSAID have known anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antipyretic and antithrombotic effects, although their in-vivo effects in treating musculoskeletal injuries in humans remain largely unknown. NSAID analgesic action is not significantly greater than paracetamol for musculoskeletal injury but they have a...
