Clinical trial backs use of special yogurt to fight stomach ulcer bacteria
Results of the first human clinical studies confirm that a new yogurt fights the bacteria that cause gastritis and stomach ulcers with what researchers describe as almost vaccine-like effects, scientists in Japan will report here today at the 237th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society.   view more (2009-03-23)

GASTRIC REFLUX COULD BE TEMPERED BY H PYLORI ERADICATION
Eradication of a bacterium present in the stomach could reduce the frequency of a common gastric disorder characterised by heartburn and chest pain, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. There is little information on the effects of Helicobacter pylori eradication in patients with a primary diagnosis of gastro-oesophageal... view more... (2001-05-31)

Electroacupuncture at PC6 may decrease frequency of transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxation
The First Hospital of Peking University, China-Research, has shown that electroacupuncture at PC6 may decrease the frequency of transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxation (TLESR), which is the main mechanism underlying gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).   view more (2007-10-11)

Study links gastric bypass surgery to increased risk of kidney stones
Morbidly obese patients who undergo a particular type of gastric bypass surgery called Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) are at an increased risk of developing kidney stones - small, pebble-like deposits that can result in severe pain and require an operation to remove them - earlier than previously thought.   view more (2008-06-26)

Does artificial intelligence help clinicians to recognize atrophic gastritis with thyroid disease?
The association of ABG with thyroid disorders (TD) was first described about 40 years ago. These older studies assessed the association between Pernicious Anemia (PA) and Thyroiditis on the basis of gastric and or thyroid auto-antibodies. Only recently systematic studies have focused on this frequently overlooked association.   view more (2008-02-27)
