    • Feb 8, 2010  : Oral H. pylori infection linked to oxidative stress, altered redox equilibrium

      Helicobacter pylori infection may be associated with altered redox equilibrium, suggest researchers who found that the total antioxidant capacity of saliva samples from H. pylori-positive individuals was significantly lower than samples from non-infected individuals.

    • Feb 5, 2010  : Anticarbohydrate antibodies, gASCA distinguish IBD from non-IBD patients

      Study findings suggest that inflammatory bowel disease patients can be distinguished from non-IBD patients using a panel of anticarbohydrate antibodies and simultaneous detection of anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae antibodies.

    • Feb 3, 2010  : Population screening program decreases H. pylori seroprevalence rates

      Study findings show that a significant decline in Helicobacter pylori seroprevalence rates can be achieved with a voluntary “screen-treat-retest-and-retreat” program for young adults in the general population.

    • Feb 1, 2010  : Aeroallergens linked to pathogenesis of eosinophilic oesophagitis

      Aeroallergens may be involved in the pathogenesis of eosinophilic esophagitis, say researchers who found seasonal variations in diagnosis rates that correlated with pollen counts.

    • Jan 29, 2010  : H. pylori infection linked to autoimmune gastritis

      Study findings suggest that atrophic corpus gastritis, including autoimmune type severe atrophy with vitamin B12 malabsorption, is associated with longstanding Helicobacter pylori infection.
