OBJECTIVES Primary: to assess the necessity of a second endoscopy with a pathology study to confirm the healing of all gastric ulcers previously diagnosed through endoscopy in a population at intermediate risk for gastric cancer. Secondary: to assess correlation between endoscopic findings and pathology diagnosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS a prospective analysis of patients diagnosed with gastric ...

Advances in medical treatment for gastric ulcer (GU) and duodenal ulcer (DU) have lead to an increase in the number of cases where surgical interventions implied resection and vagotomy. A classic or laparoscopic approach is required by perforated DU, diagnosis responsible for the high percentage of deaths. In this case it is excluded the conservative treatment with proton pump inhibitors and th...

Methods: Cytotoxic activity of GSNO was verified in L. major-infected THP-1 macrophages. S-nitrosated proteins were detected by immunofluorescence. Topical treatment was done by daily application of a solution of GSNO in PBS to the skin ulcer of Leishmania-infected mice. BALB/c and interferon-g-knockout (IFN-g-KO) C57BL/6 mice were infected with L. major and L. braziliensis, respectively. Ulcer...

objective(s) staphylococcus aureus is a common cause of human infection, and emergence of vancomycin-resistance s. aureus  is a great concern for treatment of methicillin-resistant s. aureus,(mrsa) in recent years (mrsa). here, we report the isolation of high-level vrsa. materials and methods s. aureus was isolated from foot ulcer of a diabetic woman in tehran, iran. antibiotic susceptibility w...

challenges in institutional care. Many studies in and within different societies have been conducted to measure the prevalence of pressure ulcers in different care facilities. The results of those studies indicate a great variance of pressure ulcer prevalence, ranging from less than 10% to more than 30% depending on the setting or population examined. Prevalence figures serve as quality indicat...

Background/Aims: The incidence of uncomplicated peptic ulcer has decreased in recent years. It is unclear what the impact of this has been on the epidemiology of peptic ulcer complications. This systematic review aimed to determine the incidence, recurrence and mortality of complicated peptic ulcer and the risk factors associated with these events. Methods: Systematic PubMed searches. Results: ...
