H PYLORI INFECTION

This study tested whether eating a specific yogurt (Meiji Yogurt with LG21) every day for 12 weeks could clear H. pylori infection in 140 preschoolers aged 4-6. Half the children ate the yogurt; the other half did not. The main goal was to see if the yogurt could turn a positive …

This study tested a simpler treatment for H. pylori, a stomach infection that can cause ulcers. Instead of the usual three or four drugs, researchers gave 50 adults a combination of two medicines: tegoprazan (to reduce stomach acid) and amoxicillin (an antibiotic). The goal was t…

This study checked how many people getting a heart stent also have an H. pylori infection (a common stomach bug) without symptoms. It then tested whether treating that infection with antibiotics could reduce stomach problems and bleeding caused by the blood thinners these patient…

This study compared two ways to diagnose H. pylori, a bacteria that can cause stomach ulcers. The rapid urease test is cheap and quick, but can sometimes give false positives. The newer molecular test is more precise and can also detect antibiotic resistance. Researchers enrolled…

This study looked at 100 adults with H. pylori infection to understand why some treatments fail. Researchers tested stomach biopsies to find which antibiotics work best and which resistance genes are present. The goal was to learn how diet, medications, and bacterial genetics aff…

This study looked at 300 adults to see if a common stomach infection called H. pylori is linked to unhealthy blood fat levels that can lead to heart disease. Researchers measured a special heart risk score called the Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP). The goal was to understand i…

This study looked at whether a specific gene (TLR9) influences how children react to H. pylori, a bacteria that can cause stomach pain and inflammation. Researchers compared 50 infected children with 50 uninfected ones, all aged 1 to 18. They used endoscopy and genetic testing to…
