BACKGROUND: Barrett's esophagus (BE) is a premalignant lesion that predisposes to esophageal adenocarcinoma. However, the reported incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma in patients with BE varies widely. We examined the risk of malignant progression in patients with BE using data from the Northern ...

Increasing evidence suggests that asthma is a heterogeneous disorder regulated by distinct molecular mechanisms. In a cross-sectional study of asthmatics of varying severity (n = 51), endobronchial tissue gene expression analysis revealed three major patient clusters: TH2-high, TH17-high, and TH2/17...

Helicobacter pylori infection has a worldwide distribution, and it has distinct epidemiological features in developing countries. In contrast to that in developed countries, H. pylori infection in developing countries seems to be nearly universal, beginning in early childhood. Children become infect...

The prevalence of allergic diseases and asthma is increasing worldwide, particularly in low and middle-income countries. Moreover, the complexity and severity of allergic diseases, including asthma, continue to increase especially in children and young adults, who are bearing the greatest burden of ...

Anaphylaxis is a severe systemic allergic reaction that is potentially fatal. It requires prompt recognition and immediate management. Anaphylaxis has a rapid onset with multiple organ-system involvement and is mostly caused by specific antigens in sensitized individuals. Reactions typically follow ...

A high prevalence of metronidazole resistance in Helicobacter pylori is reported in developing countries. This study examined whether migrants referred for diagnostic gastroscopy at a United Kingdom centre (n = 54), had a higher prevalence of metronidazole resistance than subjects born in the United...

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Barrett's esophagus (BE) increases the risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). We found the risk to be BE has been associated with single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on chromosome 6p21 (within the HLA region) and on 16q23, where the closest protein-coding gene is FOXF1. Subse...

OBJECTIVES: To assess the variation in practice of Barrett's esophagus (BE) management in comparison with accepted international guidelines before and after the introduction of a large BE randomized controlled trial (RCT) with protocols including those of tissue sampling. DESIGN: A validated anonymi...

Background Nonheme-iron absorption requires an acidic milieu. Reduced gastric acid output as a consequence of Helicobacter pylori infection could be an important limiting factor for iron absorption. Objective We measured gastric acid output and iron absorption from a non-water-soluble iron compound ...

Eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases (EGIDs) are a heterogeneous group of diseases (eosinophilic esophagitis [EoE], eosinophilic gastroenteritis, and eosinophilic colitis) characterized by gastrointestinal symptoms and increased eosinophils in the intestinal mucosa; more important, other causes of...

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a gram negative microaerophilic bacterium which resides in the mucous linings of the stomach. It has been implicated in the causation of various gastric disorders including gastric cancer. The geographical distribution and etiology of gastric cancer differ widely i...

Although H. pylori is well established as an etiological agent of type B gastritis and a predisposing factor for peptic ulcer, knowledge about its transmission is unclear. In this study we examined the prevalence of H. pylori infection in the family members of index infants infected with this organi...
