OBJECTIVES To test the hypothesis that infection with Helicobacter pylori is associated with hyperemesis gravidarum. METHODS From November 1999 to February 2001, we enrolled 54 pregnant women with hyperemesis gravidarum and 53 asymptomatic pregnant women in a prospective study. Specific serum immunoglobulin G for Helicobacter pylori was assayed in the sera of the study group and compared with...

in order to improve simultaneous detection and identification of helicobacter genus in general and helicobacter pylori specifically and reduce the number of amplifications needed, we established a multiplex pcr. in this study, two pairs of primers: hcom1 and hcom2 specific for helicobacter genus, hicd1 and hicd2 specific for helicobacter pylori species were used. to determine the sensitivity of...

Helicobacter pylori es una bacteria asociada al desarrollo de enfermedades gastrointestinales y cáncer gástrico. La combinación dos o tres antibióticos utilizada en la erradicación infección, pero debido aumento resistencia...

There has been a strong, positive correlation between opisthorchiasis-associated cholangiocarcinoma and infection with Helicobacter. Here a rodent model of human infection with Opisthorchis viverrini was utilized to further investigate relationships of apparent co-infections with O. viverrini and H. pylori. A total of 150 hamsters were assigned to five groups: i) Control hamsters not infected w...

Helicobacter pylori infection leads to an inflammatory response in 100% of infected individuals. The inflammatory cells which are recruited to the gastric mucosa during infection produce several pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines including several cytokines in the interleukin-17 family. The anti-inflammatory cytokine, interleukin 25 (IL-25, also known as IL-17E), signals through a receptor, w...

Helicobacter pylori infection is one of the most common human infections which have been associated with many upper gasterointestinal complications. Different treatment regimens for Helicobacter pylori eradication have been used. One of these regimes is the quadruple therapy regimen which metronidazole is one of the medications. In recent years several reports on H. pylori res...

conclusions: about half the population in iran is infected with helicobacter pylori, the pollution in different areas and preventive strategies should be carried out to control this infection. the prevalence rate of helicobacter pylori infections in iran showed only little changes during the years 1994 to 2011. results: among the 30 studies evaluated, the prevalence rate of helicobacter pylori ...

We characterized 38 Helicobacter isolates, including 22 from gastric biopsy samples obtained from 14 rhesus monkeys and single isolates from 16 monkeys in a different colony. Biochemical profiles of these isolates were nearly identical to that of Helicobacter pylori ATCC 43504. Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis indicated that each infected monkey harbored one to four stra...

helicobacter pylori infection is a common health problem related to many gastrointestinal disorders. this study aims to estimate the total and age specific prevalence of helicobacter pylori infection in iran. we systematically reviewed all national and international databases and finally identified 21 studies were eligible for meta-analysis. each of them were assigned a quality score using stro...
