We read with interest the paper by Basiri and colleagues studying the prevalence of vacA d1 and d2 genotypes in the H pylori isolates from patients with gastric adenocarcinoma, peptic ulcer disease and gastritis in East Azerbaijan region, where the incidence of gastric cancer (GC) is high. They found that 43.4% of the isolate carried the d1 allele and 56.6% carried subtype d2. A significant cor...

background: cd1d presents glycolipid antigens to invariant natural killer t (inkt) cells. the role of cd1d in the development of peptic ulcer and gastric cancer has not been revealed, yet. objective: to clarify the expression of alternatively spliced variants of cd1d in peptic ulcer and gastric cancer. methods: patients with dyspepsia were selected and divided into three groups of non-ulcer dys...

Our goal is to present an overview of a class of low complexity detectors working in linear fading multipath channels. In addition, we present briefly a unified theory based on the optimal maximum a posteriori probability (MAP) receiver concept (Woodward & Davies, 1952), which in additive Gaussian noise leads to the estimator-correlator receiver (Price, 1956; Middleton, 1957; Kailath, 1960; Kai...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to clarify the associations between IL-1B31C/T, IL-1B-511C/T, IL-8-251T/A gene polymorphisms and the risk of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection together with H. pylori-related gastric cancer (GC), peptic ulcer disease (PUD). METHODS All eligible literature published up to July 2016 were identified by searching Pubmed, Embase, Web of Science and CNKI....

An 85 yearold male, who hadbeenon omeprazole for 18 months, was admitted with sub acute small bowel obstruction of 2 weeks duration. His past medical history was Type 2 diabetes mellitus and warfarin for atrial fibrillation. Prior to commencement of omeprazole, he had been investigated for weight loss with positive faecal occult blood test positive, an oesophago-gastro-duodenoscopy (OGD) which ...

Helicobacter pylori is an important human pathogen and a gram-negative, spiral shaped and microaerophilic bacteria with persistence colonization in gastric mucosa, causes gastroduodenal inflammation and destruction, resulting in diseases such as duodenal ulcer disease, gastric ulcer disease. When H.pylori discovered by Warren and Marshall, effective therapy developed for this infection and resu...

Cissus quadrangularis L. variant II belonging to the family Vitaceae was screened for its activity Hellcobacter pylori (Hp) human isolates. Flowering and vegetative period samples were analyzed. Aqueous (hot and cold) and solvent extracts (acetone, chloroform and methanol) were screened. Among them chloroform was observed to recover bioactive principles with low MIC and MLC. MIC and MLC was 40 ...

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 ...

A. Reid [R] showed that if Γ1 and Γ2 are arithmetic lattices in G = PGL2(R) or in PGL2(C) which give rise to isospectral manifolds, then Γ1 and Γ2 are commensurable (after conjugation). We show that for d ≥ 3 and S = PGLd(R)/POd(R), or S = PGLd(C)/PUd(C), the situation is quite different: there are arbitrarily large finite families of isospectral non-commensurable compact manifolds covered by S...

Gastric outlet obstruction is a common entity described with numerous benign and malignant causes. Historically, benign causes include Peptic Ulcer disease (PUD); however recent cases have reported other causes including Eosinophilic Gastroenteritis (EGE), Brunner’s Gland Hyperplasia (BGH) and Pancreatic Heterotopia (PH). We present an unusual case of a 31 year old male patient with severe gast...
