A total of 135 stomach samples from patients with gastrointestinal diseases and normal controls were examined for Helicobacter pylori infection and Candida colonization. Candida krusei was found in specimens from 20% bleeding, 52% ulcer, and 100% gastritis patients, whereas H. pylori infection rates were 82%, 35% and 30%, respectively, for the same groups of patients. C. krusei was not detected...

Nowadays full-genome sequencing allows achieving revolutionary progress in the modern medicine. As the result of a huge work on the study of the human genome and based on the results obtained, one can conclude that the single nucleotide polymorphisms are the reasons of the vast majority of non-communicable diseases as well as the diseases other than injuries and poisoning, i.e. the diseases whe...

The salt hypothesis was revived in 1904 by Ambard and Beaujard and since then, many researches around the world have been studying this aspect. The salt hypothesis states that salt is necessary for the genesis of essential hypertension.

Here, we report that Aire KO mice with BALB/cAnN background showed significant lymphoid cell infiltration in the pancreas and stomach. To examine...
