BACKGROUND
Halitosis is used to describe any disagreeable odour of expired air regardless of its origin. Mouthwashes which disguise oral malodor are more socially acceptable and generally more popular than tongue scrapers.

To provide reliable evidence regarding the effectiveness of tongue
The prevalence of Campylobacter pylori infection as detected by histology was studied in 5 predefined groups of patients. The associated histologic and endoscopic findings were registered. Validity of CLO-test was tested against the histologic detection. The following groups of patients were
OBJECTIVE
Dyspeptic symptoms may not allow clinicians to differentiate organic and functional gastrointestinal disorders. According to our dyspeptic patients' answers to dyspepsia questionnaire, we aimed to define the symptom scores directing organic dyspepsia (OD) before upper gastrointestinal
OBJECTIVE
Several studies have demonstrated overweight and obesity are strong independent risk factors of GERD symptoms and esophageal erosions. Our aim was to analyze the joint effect of BMI with the grade of esophageal damage over symptoms' intensity of GERD.
METHODS
We used a questionnaire with a
OBJECTIVE
To reduce the post-tonsillectomy morbidity by swab soaked with 5 ml levobupivacaine hydroclorur (25 mg/10 ml).
METHODS
A double-blind prospective randomized controlled clinical study.
METHODS
In this randomized double-blind study in group I (30 children, mean age 7.5+/-2.6) we tightly
OBJECTIVE
Postoperative sore throat is one of the most common problems after tonsillectomy. Antibiotics remove the local flora and reduce inflammation and thus may reduce postoperative pain after tonsillectomy.
OBJECTIVE
To assess the effect of topical sucralfate and clindamycin on local pain

OBJECTIVE
Our aim was to describe the mood and illness experiences of
BACKGROUND
Triple therapy with a proton-pump inhibitor and two antibiotics is widely used in the treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection in adults. Experience with such therapy in the pediatric population is limited. This was a prospective, nonrandomized, open-label trial to evaluate safety and
A prospective audit study was undertaken to assess the effect of two different management policies following tonsillectomy in children in this hospital, one of which requires a prophylactic five-day course of oral antibiotics and the other doses not. A total of 95 children were entered into the
BACKGROUND
Helicobacter pylori infection is typically acquired in childhood, and following the acute event, it is thought that most infections remain asymptomatic. H. pylori has been suggested to protect against diarrhea in childhood.
OBJECTIVE
To examine the role of H. pylori in gastrointestinal
A post-operative survey of 291 children was conducted to assess morbidity found at home in the first five days post-tonsillectomy. Analgesic requirement (92.4 per cent), signs of distress (90.4 per cent), otalgia (69.1 per cent), halitosis (66.7 per cent) were common. Physical or behavioural changes
OBJECTIVE
To assess the efficacy of perioperative antibiotics in decreasing post-operative morbidity among patients undergoing tonsillectomy or adenotonsillectomy.
