gastritis/nicotine

The study aims to understand the influence of environmental and lifestyle factors and more specifically the role of tobacco smoke-infused water (tuibur) on Helicobacter pylori infection. It was a cross-sectional study to measure the epidemiological risk factors associated with H. pylori infection

Tobacco use causes many diseases irrespective of age and sex. More the addiction, more is the occurrence of morbidity in terms of frequency and severity. This community-based study was conducted to find out any relationship between the morbidity associated with tobacco use and nicotine dependence.

Gastroscopy was performed in 543 patients with an average of 52.8 years. Of these patients 248 had atrophic gastritis. In over one third of the 248 patients the gastritis inclosed the entire mucosa. In the remaining patients the antrum was most frequently inclosed. In a higher age group more

Gastritis is a major disease that has the potential to grow as gastric cancer. Gastric cancer is a very common cancer, and it is related to a very high mortality rate in Korea. This disease is known to have various reasons, including infection with Helicobacter pylori, dietary habits, tobacco, and

BACKGROUND The Helicobacter pylori (Hp) is found in patients with gastritis and peptic ulcer approximately in up to 80 percent. The eradication rates of 80 to 90 percent are achievable with some regimens. OBJECTIVE Evaluate two regimens for H pylori eradication in gastritis and peptic

Four biopsy specimens of antral and body mucosa were taken from the greater and lesser curvature of the stomach in 557 Germans and 46 Turks with no gastric or duodenal lesions. The age-adjusted gastritis score in each area was related to various habits and clinical diagnoses. In contrast to the

BACKGROUND The practical role of gastric biopsy in the management of gastritis is controversial. OBJECTIVE To estimate the yield of endoscopic biopsies in the clinical, endoscopic and pathologic approach of gastritis. METHODS Prospective study of 250 consecutive patients who underwent an upper G.I.

Billroth II resection was carried out in 1000 duodenal ulcer patients in the period 1948-1956. Twenty-two to thirty years later, gastroscopy and biopsy was performed in 196 of 423 survivors. Chronic atrophic gastritis appeared in 93 per cent of the cases, 47 per cent showed slight and 46 per cent

Depending on how it is defined, between 3 and 20% of patients who have gastric biopsy specimens are diagnosed with "Helicobacter-negative gastritis." In a paper published in this issue of the Journal, data regarding use of tobacco, alcohol, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and proton pump

Chronic gastritis is a histological diagnosis, relying on separate biopsies from antral and fundic mucosa. According to Strickland type A gastritis corresponding to pernicious anemia should be differentiated from type B gastritis, maybe induced by duodeno-gastric reflux. Intensity of inflammatory

Gastric mucosa of 585 patients at risk for gastric carcinoma and undergoing oesophago-gastroscopy for dyspeptic symptoms was examined histologically and histochemically. Sixteen (2.7%) of the patients studied showed gastric carcinoma. The intestinal type of gastric carcinoma was the most common,

Definition of gastritis has its basis in histological features of the gastric mucosa. It is not erythema observed during gastroscopy, and there are no specific clinical presentations or symptoms defining it. The current classification of gastritis centers on time course (acute versus chronic),
