Systematic studies of psychiatric disorders in non -ulcer dyspepsia are rare. The aim of the present study was to find out the nature and prevalence of psychiatric morbidity in non-ulcer dyspepsia. Thirty three patients with non-ulcer dyspepsia and thirty with duodenal ulcer were assessed for psychiatric morbidity with the help of the regular version of the SADS, and diagnosed according to DSM-...

BACKGROUND The aetiology of non-ulcer dyspepsia and a possible connection to peptic ulcer disease is debated. This paper discusses this problem in a population based study. AIMS The relation between non-ulcer dyspepsia and peptic ulcer disease was explored by the distribution in the general population and their associations to demographic, lifestyle, and psychological factors. METHODS All i...

The objective of the study was to determine whether discriminant analysis of characteristics of dyspepsia can differentiate peptic ulcer from non-ulcer dyspepsia in a Malaysian population. Two hundred and twenty six patients with dyspepsia were interviewed using a standard history questionnaire before undergoing upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Forty seven patients had peptic ulcer while 149 o...

It is clear that non-ulcer (or functional) dyspepsia is a heterogeneous syndrome that includes a subset of patients with unrecognized gastroesophageal reflux. Patient heterogeneity combined with inadequate study methodology has led to enormous confusion in interpreting the relationship between Helicobacter pylori and non-ulcer dyspepsia. The possibility that H. pylori is associated with gastroe...

Design Systematic review and meta-analysis of (a) observational studies examining the association between Helicobacter pylori infection and non-ulcer dyspepsia (association studies), and ...

background :the cag pathogenicity island includes a number of genes, including cytotoxin-associated protein a (caga) and vacuolatingcytotoxin (vaca) genotypes, which are associated with bacterial virulence. although the role of caga and vaca in the virulence of helicobacter pylori (h. pylori) is well-established in epidemiological studies, the relationship between the caga and vaca genotypes in...

Dyspepsia is a poorly understood term that is used to describe symptoms that originate in the upper gastrointestinal tract. There is increasing evidence that Helicobacter pylori infection plays an aetiological role in some forms of dyspepsia. H. pylori infection is more common in dyspeptic patients than asymptomatic controls. Clinical trials of the benefit of H. pylori eradication therapy in no...

A prospective multifactorial study of symptoms and disturbance of gastrointestinal function has been undertaken in 50 patients with non-ulcer dyspepsia. Objective tests including solid meal gastric emptying studies, gastric acid secretion, E-HIDA scintiscan for enterogastric bile reflux, and hydrogen breath studies were carried out in all patients and validated against control data. Gastroscopy...
