Accepted for publication 9 November 1995 Abstract Background-Patients with duodenal ulcer (DU) have high basal (BAO) and peak (PAO) acid outputs. The effect of Helicobacter pylori eradication on these variables is unclear. Aim-To discover if gastric acid hypersecretion in patients with DU is caused by Hpylori. Patients and methods-BAO, gastrin releasing peptide (GRP), and pentagastrin stimulate...

BACKGROUND Use of mucolytic agents that result in reduced mucous viscosity of the gastric mucous has been suggested to have an additive effect in curing Helicobacter pylori infection. METHODS Seventy Hpylori-positive patients were given either eradication treatment consisting of 500 mg clarithromycin bid and 30 mg lansoprazole bid for 10 days plus 10 mL (400 mg) N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) liquid...

The behaviour of basal and stimulated acid secretion, gastrin release, serum pepsinogen I, and gastric emptying of liquids was studied in 19 consecutive patients with Helicobacter pylori positive duodenal ulcer, over a foliow up period of six months. Eleven patients were studied before and at three and six months after eradication with lansoprazole plus amoxicillin and tinidazole (case group), ...

BACKGROUND The effect of Helicobacter-pylori eradication therapy on the platelet counts in patients with immune thrombocytopenia is still debatable. The aim of this study was to assess the response rates of standard triple eradication therapy in secondary immune thrombocytopenia with Helicobacter pylori infection. METHODS From January 2012 to December 2013, 197 patients were diagnosed to have...

BACKGROUND Treatment of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) as a major cause of gastric diseases is of utmost concern.We aimed to assess efficacy of triple therapy (amoxicillin, clarithromycin and pantoprazole) plus probiotic yogurt (PY) on eradication of H.pylori. METHODS Total 102 H. pylori positive patients were divided to 3 groups equally and randomly. For treatment of each group Amoxicillin,...

Several studies have indicated that platelet recovery occurs in a subgroup of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) patients after successful Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) eradication. Interestingly, a higher response rate to H pylori eradication therapy has been reported in Japan and Italy than in the United States and European countries other than Italy, suggesting that the efficacy of H pylori erad...

This paper provides an examination of the ethics of disease eradication policies. It examines three arguments that have been advanced for thinking that eradication is in some way ethically exceptional as a policy goal. These are (1) global eradication has symbolic importance, (2) disease eradication is a global public good and (3) disease eradication is a form of rescue. It argues that none of ...

Communication is a critical component in assuring that children are fully immunized and that simultaneous immunity is attained and maintained across large geographic areas for disease eradication and control initiatives. If service delivery is of good quality and outreach to the population is active, effective communication--through advocacy, social mobilization, and program communication (incl...
