The objective of this paper is to investigate whether Helicobacter pylori is an etiologic factor in hyperemesis gravidarum. Thirty one patients with hyperemesis gravidarum and twenty nine pregnant controls without hyperemesis gravidarum were included in this prospective study. All pregnant women were examined both for Helicobacter pylori serum immunoglobulin G antibodies (HpIgG Ab), showing chr...

Accumulation of neurotoxic hyperphosphorylated TAU protein is a major pathological hallmark of Alzheimer disease and other neurodegenerative dementias collectively called tauopathies. Puromycin-sensitive aminopeptidase (PSA/NPEPPS) is a novel modifier of TAU-induced neurodegeneration with neuroprotective effects via direct proteolysis of TAU protein. Here, to examine the effects of PSA/NPEPPS o...

The specific recognition between monoclonal antibody (anti-human prostate-specific antigen, anti-hPSA) and its antigen (human prostate-specific antigen, hPSA) has promising applications in prostate cancer diagnostics and other biosensor applications. However, because of steric constraints associated with interfacial packing and molecular orientations, the binding efficiency is often very low. I...

STUDY DESIGN Case control. PLACE AND DURATION Department of Medicine, Liaquat University Hospital from October 2007 to March 2008. MATERIALS AND METHODS This hospital-based case-control study was conduct...

conclusions the homemade kit, compared with the imported kit and biopsy-proven tests may be a valid and reliable method for determining the presence of h. pylori infection in iran. background current diagnosis of helicobacter pylori infection by biopsy-based tests requires invasive sampling. non-invasive methods such as the h. pylori stool-antigen (hpsa) test may be the best alternative for dia...

Abstract Background Although some investigators have confirmed the association between H . pylori and chronic ITP in adults, studies pediatric patients are still few produced conflicting results. The study was carried out to detect prevalence of among children investigate impact treatment H. infection on platelet count response. Results 63%. statistically significantly higher stool antigen (HpS...

Background Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is believed to be the most common bacterial infection worldwide. Herein, we aimed to investigate the effect of red rose extract on H. pylori eradication in 9 to 15 year-old children. Materials and Methods In this randomized controlled clinical trial,by the convenience sampling method...

Helicobacter pylori infection is acquired mainly during childhood and causes various diseases such as gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, and iron deficiency anemia. Although H. pylori infection in children differs from adults in many ways, this is often overlooked in clinical practice. Unlike adults, nodular gastritis may be a pathognomonic endos...

This study examines the in vitro antioxidant activities of the methanol extract of Swietenia mahagoni seeds (SMCM seed extract). The extract was screened for possible antioxidant activities by free radical scavenging activity (DPPH), xanthine oxidase inhibition (XOI), hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity (HPSA) and ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays. The total phenolic and flavono...
