No effect of intramuscular gold therapy on serological parameters of Helicobacter pylori infection in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: a 12 month prospective study.

Effect of long term intramuscular gold therapy on the seroprevalence of Helicobacter pylori in patients with early rheumatoid arthritis.

Double strain probiotic effect on Helicobacter pylori infection treatment: A double-blinded randomized controlled trial

Background: A decreased rate of successful helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) infection treatment has revealed serious demand for more effective regimens to eradicate infection. Therefore, probiotics have recently been considered to increase the rate of antibiotic regimens efficacy in H. pylori infections. In current randomized controlled trial, we evaluated the effect of double strain probiotic co...

TREATMENT OF HELICOBACTER PYLORI (H. PYLORI) INFECTION IN CHILDREN: A PROSPECTIVE STUDY COMPA R ING TWO DIFFERENT THERAPEUTIC REGIMENS

During a period of 10 months from May to February 1995, 120 children (72 girls, 48 boys) with an age range of 4-16 years (mean age 10.87, S.D.±2.7) with chronic abdominal pain who had an abnormal endoscopy (gastroduodenal mucosal defect) and positive urease test were treated for H. pylori. Patients were treated randomly with either metronidazole and amoxicillin (double therapy, group A) or ...

Decreased level of antibodies against Helicobacter pylori in patients with rheumatoid arthritis receiving intramuscular gold.

BACKGROUND Sodium aurothiomalate has been reported to have in vitro activity against Helicobacter pylori. Intramuscular gold, as given to patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), may therefore influence the colonisation of the gastric mucosa with H pylori. METHODS Two groups were compared. One group of 42 patients was treated with intramuscular gold; the other group of 58 patients was treated...

The Effect of Rocker Shoe on the Ground Reaction Force Parameters in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis

Objectives: Foot and ankle problems are common complications in rheumatoid arthritis disease. Gait pattern such as normal foot and ankle rocker is impaired in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Rocker sole as an external shoe modification is commonly prescribed in this pathology. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of rocker shoe on vertical ground reaction force parameters dur...
