BACKGROUND
Acotiamide is known as an effective agent for functional dyspepsia. However, clinical factors related to its effectiveness have not been fully elucidated, so it is difficult to predict the drug's effectiveness prior to its administration in patients.
OBJECTIVE
The present retrospective
OBJECTIVE
Celiac disease can manifest with nonspecific symptoms, including functional gastrointestinal disorders such as dyspepsia. The aim of our study was to assess the usefulness of duodenal endoscopic markers of villous atrophy for the selection of dyspeptic patients for histological
BACKGROUND
- Previous evidence trying to assess the risk of celiac disease among dyspeptic patients has been inconclusive, showing in some cases notorious discrepancies.
OBJECTIVE
- To determine the prevalence of celiac disease in patients with dyspepsia compared to healthy controls without
The prevalence of dyspepsia is up to 40% in population-based study. Functional dyspepsia is an exclusion diagnosis and it is classified as a chronic abdominal pain-related functional disorder, characterized by the presence of persistent or recurrent pain or discomfort centered in the upper abdomen,
BACKGROUND
The most effective initial treatment strategy of dyspepsia is still under debate. Individual biological characteristics, such as condition of gastric mucosa, might contribute to selection of the most appropriate acid suppression treatment strategy.
OBJECTIVE
To assess whether
A 54-year-old man with dyspepsia, Helicobacter pylori-associated chronic active atrophic gastritis without intestinal metaplasia, and hyperplastic gastric polyps was followed up for 1 year after H. pylori eradication with sequential endoscopic gastric mucosal mapping and gastric function tests.
BACKGROUND
Upper endoscopy is not routinely performed to directly detect abnormalities of the duodenal villi. The reliability of the immersion technique for assessment of duodenal villi was evaluated in a series of patients with dyspepsia.
METHODS
A total of 396 patients who were to undergo standard
OBJECTIVE
Although Helicobacter pylori infection has been reported to be more frequent in patients with dyspepsia, whether it should be treated in dyspepsia remains controversial. This study was carried out to compare the histopathological changes in Helicobacter pylori-positive and -negative
Functional dyspepsia (FD) is the most common cause of chronic epigastric pain and abdominal fullness. Helicobacter pylori-associated gastritis is one of the pathophysiological factors of FD, however the peculiarities of it are still unknown. Aim of the study - to compare the morphological changes in
OBJECTIVE
The classification of gastritis by using the revised Sydney system suggests that there are two types of Helicobacter pylori-related gastritis. The aim of the present study was to examine the risk factors that might be involved in the presence of either atrophic gastritis or intestinal
BACKGROUND
histopathologic identification of atrophy and metaplasia is decisive to stop the way of gastritis?carcinoma in patients with chronic gastritis.
OBJECTIVE
to compare diagnostic concordance between Sidney system and the operative Link on Gastritis Assessment (OLGA) system.
METHODS
120
OBJECTIVE
Patients who meet the Rome III criteria for functional dyspepsia (FD) are generally classified into the following two subgroups, those with postprandial distress syndrome (PDS) and those with epigastric pain syndrome (EPS), in order to treat the dyspeptic symptoms caused by the respective
OBJECTIVE
The role of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection in non-ulcer dyspepsia (NUD) remains controversial. This study investigates the clinical, serological and histological differences between patients with H. pylori-positive and -negative NUD.
