Going from ulcers to cancer
Researchers have uncovered a big clue as to why some of the bacteria that cause stomach ulcers pose a greater risk for serious problems like stomach cancer than others; it turns out these bacteria can exploit the surrounding stomach cells to protect them from the immune system. view more (2008-08-25)
H. Pylori bacteria may help prevent some esophageal cancers
Some bacteria may help protect against the development of a type of esophageal cancer, known as adenocarcinoma, according to a new review of the medical literature. These bacteria, which are called Helicobacter pylori, live in the stomachs of humans. view more (2008-10-06)
Taking sharper aim at stomach ulcer bacteria
Scientists are reporting discovery of a much sought after crack in the armor of a common microbe that infects the stomachs of one-sixth of the world's population, causing stomach ulcers and other diseases. view more (2009-10-01)
MDCT, virtual gastroscopy and MPR images differentiate malignant and benign gastric ulcers
Multidetector CT using virtual gastroscopy and post contrast enhanced multiplanar reformation images can be useful in differentiating between malignant and benign gastric ulcers, according to a recent study conducted by researchers from Kaohsiung Medical University Hospital in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. view more (2008-07-17)
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)
Stomach ulcer bug causes bad breath
Bacteria that cause stomach ulcers and cancer could also be giving us bad breath, according to research published in the December issue of the Journal of Medical Microbiology. view more (2008-11-24)
Prehistoric origins of stomach ulcers uncovered
An international team of scientists has discovered that the ubiquitous bacteria that causes most painful stomach ulcers has been present in the human digestive system since modern man migrated from Africa over 60,000 years ago. view more (2007-02-08)
Columbia team finds that gastrin plays significant role in helicobacter-induced stomach cancer
A group led by Columbia University Medical Center's Timothy Wang, M.D., has studied the role of Helicobacter infection in the development of stomach cancer and found that the hormone gastrin, which stimulates secretion of gastric acid, plays a key role in the development of Helicobacter-induced stomach cancer, and may have distinct effects on... view more...

PENTOXIFYLLINE BENEFICIAL FOR TREATING LEG ULCERS (p 1550)
Results of a systematic review in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that the drug pentoxifylline could be effective in the treatment of leg ulcers, either in addition to compression therapy, or as sole treatment when compression therapy is not effective. Venous leg ulcers are associated with circulatory disorders and are common among people... view more... (2002-05-01)
Salt increases ulcer-bug virulence
Scientists have identified yet another risk from a high-salt diet. High concentrations of salt in the stomach appear to induce gene activity in the ulcer-causing bacterium Helicobacter pylori, making it more virulent and increasing the likelihood of an infected person developing a severe gastric disease. view more (2007-05-23)
Simple measures may prevent transmission of stomach ulcer bacteria
The stomach ulcer bacterium Helicobacter pylori is not transmitted through drinking water as previously thought, but rather through vomit and possibly faeces. view more (2009-06-25)
Antidepressants and painkillers - a dangerous combination
Taking antidepressants together with painkillers can substantially increase the risk of bleeding from the stomach, according to new research by the University of East Anglia. view more (2007-10-09)
Bacteria increase risk of lower stomach cancer, decreases risk of upper
The bacteria Helicobacter pylori substantially increase the risk of cancer in the lower stomach, but it may decrease the risk of cancer near the junction between the esophagus and the stomach. view more (2006-10-18)
Tummy troubles -- gastrin key in bacterial-induced stomach cancer
Current research suggests that levels of gastrin play a key role in the development of Helicobacter-induced stomach cancer. view more (2009-06-24)
Rising rates of bleeding from ulcers in last decade despite changes in treatment
Hospital admissions for bleeding ulcers rose throughout the 1990s despite changes in drug treatment, reveals a study in Gut. view more (2002-03-11)
Uncovering the secrets of ulcer-causing bacteria
A team of researchers from Boston University, Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts Institute of Technology recently made a discovery that changes a long held paradigm about how bacteria move through soft gels. view more (2009-08-13)
To avoid stomach upset in arthritis patients, drug combination more effective
UCLA/VA researchers found that for arthritis patients, taking a combination of two drugs may be most effective in protecting against stomach upset called dyspepsia, which is a side effect of common pain medications. view more (2006-05-02)
Smokers likely to develop mouth ulcers and cold symptoms up to two weeks after quitting
Smokers develop mouth ulcers and cold symptoms for up to two weeks after giving up their habit, reveals research in Tobacco Control. The body's backlash could deter many ex-smokers from staying the course, unless they know what to expect, suggest the authors. One hundred and seventy four smokers were assessed one week before giving up smoking and... view more... (2003-02-21)
HRT COULD PROTECT AGAINST LEG ULCERS (p 675)
Elderly women given hormone replacement therapy (HRT) could be at a reduced risk of developing leg ulcers and pressure sores, conclude authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Pressure ulcers and venous leg ulcers are common chronic wounds. Oestrogens in the form of HRT might have an effect on wound healing, but this... view more... (2002-02-20)
H Pylori Eradication Reduces Risk Of Peptic Ulcers For Patients Taking Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs
Screening and treatment for infection caused by the gastrointestinal bacterium Helicobacter pylori could substantially reduce the risk of ulcers for patients starting long-term non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) treatment, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. A meta-analysis also published in this week's issue... view more... (2002-01-02)
