helicobacter pylori is a gram-negative, spiral-shaped, microaerophilic organism that colonizes the stomach of humans and causes chronic-active gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, and gastric cancers, including adenocarcinoma of the stomach and malt (mucosal-associated lymphoid tumor) lymphomas. h. pylori colonizes the stomach of over 50 % the world’s human population, primarily those who reside in...

Dexlansoprazole (DSP) is a proton pump inhibitor, it used to treat GERD and ulcer colitis. DSP works by decreasing the volume of acid in stomach. an acid-labile medication that may be destroyed stomach's acidic pH. A coating technique was postpone drug release stomach, which can extend pharmacological activity. Shellac develop sustain tablet dexlansoprazole as retardation (dexlansoprazole) obse...

We studied the rates at which solid and liquid leave the stomach after meals of wholemeal and white bread by using a double isotope technique. There was no difference in the rates at which the solid phases of the gastric contents left the stomach but liquid left the stomach significantly more rapidly with white bread than with wholemeal bread. Furthermore, the amount of liquid leaving the stoma...

Ficus religiosa is being used in Ayurvedic and Malay traditional medicine for the treatment of various diseases including gastric ulcer. Considering the above claims, the present work was undertaken to validate the anti-ulcer potential of the ethanol extract of leaves of Ficus religiosa against in vivo aspirin induced ulcer and pylorus ligation assays. Gastric ulcers induced in Swiss albino rat...

BACKGROUND It is presently not well understood to what extent peptic ulcer and gastric cancer represent related diseases. AIMS The objective of this study was to assess past occurrence of gastric and duodenal ulcers in patients with cancer of the gastric cardia or other parts of the stomach. METHODS The association between peptic ulcer and gastric cancer was studied among patients followed ...

BACKGROUND Ectopic biliary drainage is a rare congenital anomaly on which we have scarce data in the current literature. METHODS The data were collected from the records of 400 endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography (ERCP). In this report, we present 10 cases (male/female: 9/1, mean age 54 years, range 38-74) with ectopic biliary openings into the duodenum and/or stomach diagnosed by...

The so-called peptic ulcer occurs in the stomach, the duodenum and the jejunum, when the latter is brought within the range of the acid gastric juice by the performance of a gastrojejunostomy. It is occasionally seen also at various points throughout the small intestine and in the lower oesophagus. The occurrence, however, of these ectopic ulcers is of little more than academic interest, and th...

The functional single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) C3435T in exon 26 of the ABCB1 gene encoding the xenobiotic transporter P-glycoprotein (P-gp) may influence susceptibility to several diseases, as well as the clinical outcome of treatment with P-gp substrates. Exposure to environmental chemicals is thought to be involved in peptic ulcer pathogenesis and then later in stomach cancer developmen...

INTRODUCTION The sensitivity of invasive diagnostic methods for Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection, particularly of urease rapid test, is decreased in cases of gastroduodenal ulcer and upper gastrointestinal bleeding. OBJECTIVES To assess the influence of blood in the stomach or recent bleeding endoscopic signs in the diagnostic sensitivity of urease rapid test among patients with blee...
