Aim: The objective of this study is to compare the use Saccharomyces boulardii (S. boulardii) in eradicating Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) children as an alternative bismuth, which has a limited scope application due its side effects.
 Material and Method: Included were 220 pediatric patients with symptomatic H. gastritis. randomized into three treatment groups. Patients who received bis...

Background: Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) is the most prevalent human infection in half of the world population. Few studies investigated the reasons of infection to H pylori in societies. The current study was designed i to examine the relationship of food insecurity and quality of life with H pylori infection. Methods: In this case- control study, 200 candidates were selected among the peopl...

Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) eradication heals chronic active type B gastritis and dramatically changes the natural history of duodenal ulcer disease. There are few data concerning the role of anti-H pylori treatment in gastric ulcer disease. A total of 83 patients presenting with H pylori positive active gastric ulcer disease were treated with omeprazole and antibiotics (amoxicillin, ciprofl...

BACKGROUND Although activation of mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPKs) by Helicobacter pylori infection is associated with induction of host angiogenesis, which may contribute to H pylori associated gastric carcinogenesis, the strategy for its prevention has not been identified. As we previously reported a strong inhibitory action of gastric proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) on MAPK extracellu...

AIM To investigate the prevalence and association of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). METHODS SA comprehensive literature search was completed from inception until October 2016. Studies that reported prevalence, relative risks, odd ratios, hazard ratios or standardized incidence ratio of H. pylori among ESRD patients were included. Participants without H. p...

OBJECTIVES We conducted an analysis of correlation between histological grading of chronic gastritis and the presence of H. pylori infection to investigate if H. pylori influences histological severity of chronic gastritis in Korean patients with peptic ulcers. METHODS Gastroscopic antral biopsy specimens and peripheral venous blood were taken from 80 patients with gastric or duodenal ulcers....

objectives the current study aimed to investigate h. pylori seropositivity in children with and without asthma. patients and methods this cross-sectional study was performed with 208 children aged 5- to 12-years-old (104 asthmatic subjects in the case group and 104 healthy individuals in the control group) who had been referred to the pediatric clinic of amir kabir hospital in arak, iran. h. py...

foods with animal origins play a substantial role in the transmission of helicobacter pylori. the present investigation was carried out to study the vaca and caga genotypes status of h. pylori isolated from various types of meat samples. two hundred and twenty meat samples were collected and cultured. h. pylori-positive strains were analyzed for the presence of vaca and caga genotypes. eleven o...

AIM To explore the association between Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and obesity/weight gain in a Chinese population. METHODS Our primary outcome was the change in body mass index (BMI). The generalized linear models were used to explore the association between H. pylori infection and the change of BMI, and the logistic regression models were used to explore the association betwee...

Eradication of Helicobacter pylori may lead to improvement of chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), although its efficacy over time is uncertain. We report the results of H pylori screening and eradication in 75 consecutive adult patients with ITP. We also used molecular methods to investigate lymphocyte clonality and H pylori genotypes in the gastric biopsies from 10 H pylori-positive...
