BACKGROUND: Over 30% of the world's population is anaemic, with a significant proportion of these being iron deficient. As iron deficiency (ID) anaemia in men and post-menopausal women is mostly caused by gastrointestinal blood loss or malabsorption, the initial evaluation of a patient with ID anaemia involves referral to a gastroenterologist. The current drive towards patient blood management in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA)prescribes that we regulate not only the use of blood transfusion but also the management of patients in whom the cause of iron loss or inadequate iron absorption is sought...

BACKGROUND: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a rod-shaped, gram-negative, microaerophilic bacterium that can be identified by gram staining. Its relationship with cancer is significant since it is involved in approximately 80% of gastric cancers and 5.5% of all malignant cancers. Two lines of treatment have been defined for H. pylori, but almost 40% of patients do not respond to the first line. Recent trials have investigated oral Immunotherapy as a new treatment method. The aim of this systematic review was to investigate the potential effects of oral Immunotherapy on eradication rate of H...

Treatment for the eradication of Helicobacter pylori infection, a leading cause of peptic ulcer disease and an important risk factor for gastric cancer and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma, is indicated whenever infection is identified. However, treatment success rates with current guideline-recommended proton-pump inhibitor (PPI)-based regimens remain suboptimal, with one potential factor associated with treatment failure being inadequate acid suppression. Vonoprazan (Voquezna® ) is a first-in-class potassium-competitive acid blocker with the potential to provide potent and sustained acid suppression...

Helicobacter pylori is the main etiopathogenetic factor of chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer. The world's population is shifting towards older people, who have the highest prevalence of H. pylori. Aging-related peculiarities could have an impact on the treatment of H. pylori and there is still a lack of research data in the older population. The aim of this review was to summarize the findings of the most recent information, publications and studies on the issues relating to H. pylori infection in older patients...

Lynch syndrome (LS) increases the risk of numerous different cancers including gastric cancer. While some current guidelines recommend empiric gastric biopsies be performed during upper gastrointestinal cancer surveillance in Lynch syndrome (LS), the yield of these biopsies and the prevalence of gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM) and Helicobacter pylori (HP) in LS remains unknown. Herein we analyze 165 consecutive individuals with LS who underwent upper endoscopic surveillance with biopsies of the gastric antrum and body being performed universally in all individuals...

Hybrid therapy is a recommended first-line anti- H. pylori treatment option in the American College of Gastroenterology guidelines, the Bangkok Consensus Report on H. pylori management, and the Taiwan H. pylori Consensus Report. However, the cure rates of eradication therapy in some countries are suboptimal, and the factors affecting the treatment efficacy of hybrid therapy remain unclear. The aim of this study is to identify the independent risk factors predicting eradication failure of hybrid therapy in the first-line treatment of H...

Gastric cancer is a global public health burden, nearly one million new cases are diagnosed per year worldwide, of which 44% of cases occur in China. The prognosis of gastric cancer varies remarkably by the stage of cancer, and most of the patients in China are diagnosed at advanced stages, resulting in poor prognoses. Effective strategies to reduce the burden of gastric cancer include primary prevention through testing and treatment of Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori ) and secondary prevention by screening and early detection...

Gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM), a common histologic finding, is associated with increased risk of gastric cancer, and GIM associated with Helicobacter pylori infection is classified as an environmental metaplastic atrophic gastritis. Patients may be asymptomatic or present with various dyspeptic symptoms. Autoimmune metaplastic atrophic gastritis is a less common but important cause of chronic gastritis. The Correa cascade describes the evolution of precancerous mucosal changes that lead to development of GIM, with differentiation of 2 histologic types of GIM (complete and incomplete) and the consequences of each type...

Helicobacter pylori is a commonly encountered pathogen in medical practice. It causes chronic gastritis in patients of different ages. Many published papers have provided different opinions on whether the test-and-treat strategy for H. pylori infection should be implemented in children. It is critical that the opinion in favor of this strategy was published in Europe, where ESPGHAN/NASPGHAN guidelines have not recommended the use of test-and-treat strategy for H. pylori in children. Herein, I propose my opinion regarding this debate using 4 main points...

BACKGROUND: As a precursor to gastric cancer, gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM) represents a target for surveillance. US-based guidelines recommend surveillance of racial/ethnic minorities and immigrants from high incidence gastric cancer regions, yet there is marked variability in prevalence amongst these subgroups and within groups from high incidence regions. There is a paucity of information regarding country of birth as a risk factor for GIM and we sought to determine the association between country of birth and GIM in an ethnically and racially diverse US population...
