Clinically apparent #Helicobacter pylori infection and the risk of incident #Alzheimer’s disease: A population-based nested case-control study

INTRODUCTIONOur population-based study assessed whether clinically apparent Helicobacter pylori infection (CAHPI) is associated with the risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD).METHODSWe assembled a population-based cohort of all dementia-free subjects in the United Kingdom's Clinical Practice Research Datalink (UK CPRD), aged ≥50 years (1988–2017). Using a nested case-control approach, we matched each newly developed case of AD with 40… Continue reading Clinically apparent #Helicobacter pylori infection and the risk of incident #Alzheimer’s disease: A population-based nested case-control study

The recurrence rate of #Helicobacter pylori in recent 10 years: A systematic review and meta-analysis

To update and evaluate the recurrence rate of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication therapy in recent 10 years. MethodsA systematic search of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane library, and Web of science was performed to identify the studies of recurrence rate of H. pylori published from 2010 to 2019. Stata 15.0 was used for analysis. ResultsA total… Continue reading The recurrence rate of #Helicobacter pylori in recent 10 years: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Comparative Effectiveness of Multiple Different First-Line Treatment Regimens for #Helicobacter pylori Infection: a Network Meta-Analysis.

A number of double, triple and quadruple therapies have been proposed as first line H. pylori infection empiric treatments. However, knowledge of their worldwide and regional comparative efficacy is lacking. We examined the comparative effectiveness of all empirically used first line regimens tested against standard triple treatment, using a network meta-analysis (NWM) of published RCTs.… Continue reading Comparative Effectiveness of Multiple Different First-Line Treatment Regimens for #Helicobacter pylori Infection: a Network Meta-Analysis.

Associations between #Helicobacter pylori with nonalcoholic fatty #liver disease and other metabolic conditions in Guatemala

Previous studies have suggested an association between Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The aim of the current study was to examine the association in Guatemala, a region with elevated prevalences of both H pylori and NAFLD. Associations between H pylori and other metabolic conditions were also examined, as were associations… Continue reading Associations between #Helicobacter pylori with nonalcoholic fatty #liver disease and other metabolic conditions in Guatemala

Atorvastatin in combination with conventional antimicrobial treatment of #Helicobacter pylori eradication: A randomized controlled clinical trial

..Considering the anti‐inflammatory and antibacterial effect of atorvastatin, the present study aimed at adding this agent to a four‐drug regimen in order to eradicate H. pylori. In the current study, 110 patients in the control group received a 14‐day regimen of amoxicillin, clarithromycin, bismuth, and esomeprazole, and 110 patients in the intervention group received 40… Continue reading Atorvastatin in combination with conventional antimicrobial treatment of #Helicobacter pylori eradication: A randomized controlled clinical trial
