Globally, over 25% of the population suffers from acid-related disorders such as dyspepsia or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and around 7.6% of Indians report having GERD symptoms on a frequent enough basis to warrant a diagnosis. Over the past three decades, proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) have been the mainstay of medical therapy for acid-peptic diseases like GERD, etc. Additionally, they are frequently prescribed for prophylactic purposes and in conjunction with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs...

BACKGROUND: Large hiatal hernias (LHH) account for 5-10% of all hiatal hernias. Surgery of LHH should be associated with low rates of postoperative complications and recurrences, to guarantee a favorable quality of life (QoL). Data on long-term results of laparoscopic repair of LHH are lacking. The objective of our study is to evaluate the long-term clinical outcomes of laparoscopic LHH management in a high-volume experienced center. METHODS: Patients who had undergone elective laparoscopic repair of LHH between January 1992 and December 2008 at the Center of Minimally Invasive Surgery of the Department of Surgical Sciences, University of Turin, Italy were included...

OBJECTIVE: Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are widely prescribed with proven efficacy in many indications, yet longstanding controversy about potential adverse events persists. We aimed to acquire knowledge about perceptions of outpatient PPI long-term prescribing (≥8 wk) among primary and specialty care trainees at 2 Canadian Universities. METHODS: Family medicine, internal medicine, and gastroenterology trainees completed a web-based survey that included 20 clinical scenarios assessing trainee knowledge about PPI efficacy...

BACKGROUNDS: The adverse effects of long-term use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) have led to growing concern. The association between PPIs use and the risks of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) remains controversial. GOAL: The aim of this study was to investigate the association between PPIs use and the risks of NAFLD among the general adult population in the United States. STUDY: We performed a cross-sectional study by extracting data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey of 2017 to 2018...

BACKGROUND: Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are among the most commonly prescribed medications worldwide for acid-related disorders. While their short-term efficacy and safety are well-established, concerns regarding their long-term effects on bone health have emerged. This umbrella review aimed to synthesize the available findings on the associations between PPI use and bone metabolism outcomes. METHODS: An electronic search was conducted using PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and the Cochrane Database up to September 16, 2023...

BACKGROUND: s and Aims: Los Angeles (LA) grade C/D esophagitis is a severe manifestation of GERD that require active treatment and close follow-up. Potassium competitive acid blockers (P-CABs) are promising alternatives to proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs). We aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of P-CABs and PPIs in healing Grade C/D esophagitis to aid clinical decision-making. METHODS: A systematic literature search was performed using PubMed, MEDLINE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials...

BACKGROUND: Antibiotics and proton pump inhibitors (PPI) are recognized risk factors for acquisition and recurrence of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI), yet combined effects remain unclear. OBJECTIVES: To assess the short- and long-term effects of antibiotics and PPIs on CDI risk and recurrence. METHODS: Population-based study including all 43 152 patients diagnosed with CDI in Sweden (2006-2019), and 355 172 matched population controls without CDI...

OBJECTIVE: Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are among the drugs most commonly used in critically ill patients. Although mainly applied temporarily for stress ulcer prophylaxis, their application is frequently not terminated. Potential adverse effects of PPI treatment could impact the outcome in case of unnecessary and, therefore, avoidable long-term continuation. We tested the hypotheses that nonindicated PPI therapy continued beyond hospital discharge is associated with increased morbidity, rehospitalization rate, and mortality...

OBJECTIVES: Long-term consumption of pump inhibitors causes osteoporosis. Some possible mechanisms are gastrin over-secretion and hypochlorhydria. Octreotide is a somatostatin analog that inhibits the secretion of many hormones such as gastrin. This study aimed to assess the effects of pantoprazole on the bone when used with octreotide in an animal model. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty-eight male Wistar rats were randomly assigned into 4 groups: A) pantoprazole 3 mg/Kg/day orally; B) Sandostatin LAR 1 mg/month intramuscular injection; C) Pantoprazole and Sandostatin LAR; and D) Control group...

Background: Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) is a common condition associated with heartburn and regurgitation. Standard of care for GORD patients in the UK involves initial treatment with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and laparoscopic antireflux surgery in patients unwilling to continue or intolerant of long-term PPI treatment. Recently, RefluxStop™, a novel, implantable medical device, has proven to be an efficacious and cost-effective treatment for patients with GORD. The current analysis aimed to describe the budget impact of introducing RefluxStop™ within National Health Service (NHS) England and Wales...

Drug-induced hypomagnesemia is an adverse effect with the potential for serious and fatal outcomes. Although rare, chronic use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) can cause hypomagnesemia due to impaired intestinal absorption, mainly attributed to reduced transcellular transport of magnesium via transient receptor potential melastatin 6 (TRPM6) and 7 (TRPM7) channels. However, a reduction of magnesium paracellular absorption due to the downregulation of intestinal claudins has also been reported. PPI-induced hypomagnesemia can trigger other concomitant electrolyte derangements, including hypokalemia, hypocalcemia, hypophosphatemia, and hyponatremia...

Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) is a chronic condition characterised by visceral pain in the distal oesophagus. The current first-line treatment for GORD is proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), however, PPIs are ineffective in a large cohort of patients and long-term use may have adverse effects. Emerging evidence suggests that nerve fibre number and location are likely to play interrelated roles in nociception in the oesophagus of GORD patients. Simultaneously, alterations in cells of the oesophageal mucosa, namely epithelial cells, mast cells, dendritic cells, and T lymphocytes, have been a focus of GORD research for several years...

CONTEXT: Prolonged bisphosphonate (BP) treatment for osteoporosis prevents hip and other fractures but causes atypical femoral fractures (AFF). OBJECTIVE: To establish the relationship between patterns of BP use and the risk of AFF and hip fractures. Other potential risk factors for AFF were also examined. DESIGN: Population-based case-cohort study. SETTING: The Danish National Healthcare system maintains longitudinal records of medication use, healthcare utilization, and x-ray images...

Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are widely prescribed medications for the management of various gastrointestinal disorders, primarily gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and peptic ulcers. However, recent concerns have emerged regarding their potential adverse effects on kidney function and their role in the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). This systematic review aims to comprehensively analyze the existing literature to assess the impact of PPI use on kidney function and CKD progression. We took information from PubMed, PubMed Central (PMC), and Google Scholar articles from the last 10 years, from 2013 to 2023, and looked for links between PPI use and a number of kidney-related outcomes...

Raltegravir (RAL), a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 integrase inhibitor, has been administered as part of antiretroviral therapy. Studies in patients with HIV-1 have shown high variability in the pharmacokinetics of RAL, and in healthy volunteers, coadministration of proton-pump inhibitors has been shown to increase the plasma RAL concentrations. Here, we found that RAL containing a 1,3,4-oxadiazole ring is converted to a hydrolysis product (H-RAL) with a cleaved 1,3,4-oxadiazole ring at pH 1.0 and 13...

PURPOSE: The increased use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) in the elderly has raised concerns about potential severe adverse effects. Our systematic review investigated the mortality associated with PPI use in elderly populations. METHODS: We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library for relevant publications until August 2022. We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs), quasi-RCTs, and observational studies on the association between proton pump inhibitors and mortality in the elderly...

Proton pump inhibitor (PPI) treatment is responsible for substantial gastrin elevation secondary to reduced intragastric acidity. Due to the increasing global prevalence of PPI users, concerns have been raised about the clinical significance of continuous gastrin elevation and its potential long-term side effects. Hypergastrinemia secondary to PPIs has trophic effects on gastric mucosa, leading to enterochromaffin-like cell hyperplasia and gastric (fundic) polyp formation, and it is believed to provoke acid rebound following PPI withdrawal that induces PPI overutilization...

Gastrinomas are pancreatic or duodenal endocrine tumors that secrete excess gastrin, which causes gastroesophageal reflux disease, peptic ulcers, and chronic diarrhea. Due to the rarity of the disease, nonspecific symptoms, and the outstanding effect of proton pump inhibitors, diagnosing gastrinomas is difficult. Here, we present the case of a 58-year-old woman who had a duodenal gastrinoma that caused rare but critical events, including esophageal perforation, necrotizing esophagitis, and severe esophageal stricture...

OBJECTIVE: Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are widely prescribed to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in Systemic Sclerosis (SSc). However, not all patients adequately respond to the treatment, and there are frequent concerns about the safety of long-term use of PPIs. Our aim was to identify the main problems/complaints of SSc patients on PPIs, as well as understand their unmet needs. METHODS: SSc patients treated with PPIs were invited through international patient associations and social media to participate in an online survey...
