606 patients (405 men and 201 women) with HP infection were examined, 121 (m 67; f 54) found clinical or clinical and laboratory signs of iron deficiency, the frequency of iron deficiency in the examined group of patients with HP was 19.9% (16.8-23.3; CI 95%). 25 (20.7%) were diagnosed with anaemia, 66 (54.5%) patients had a latent deficit of iron, 30 patients (24.8%) showed only a decrease in TS, which is typical for pre-latent iron deficiency. 38 (31.4%) patients had a «true» iron deficiency, 44 (36.4%) patients had a combined variant of iron deficiency, and 39 (32.2%) iron deficiency developed as a result of chronic inflammation. There was a significant difference in the level of hepcidin in patients with different options for iron deficiency. In patients with “isolated” iron deficiency, it was 12.4 ± 2.3 ng/ml, vs 48.2-± 20.2 ng/ml vs 189.7 ± 31.1 ng / ml in patients with a combined pathogenic variant of iron deficiency and in patients with iron deficiency of chronic inflammation, respectively.

Background. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between iron deficiency anemia andH. pyloriin patients with normal gastrointestinal tract endoscopy results.Materials and Methods. A total of 117 male patients with normal gastrointestinal tract endoscopy results were included in this retrospective study. The study and control groups included 69 and 48 patients with and without iron deficiency anemia, respectively. The prevalence ofH. pylori, the number of RBCs, and the levels of HGB, HTC, MCV, iron, and ferritin were calculated and compared.Results. There was no statistically significant difference found between the groups according to the prevalence ofH. pylori(65.2% versus 64.6%,P=0.896). Additionally, the levels of RBCs, HGB, HTC, MCV, iron, and ferritin in the patients in the study group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). Finally, there was no association between iron deficiency anemia andH. pylori(OR 1.02, Cl 95% 0.47–2.22, andP=0.943).Conclusion.H. pyloriis not associated with iron deficiency anemia in male patients with normal gastrointestinal tract endoscopy results.

Latent Iron Deficiency

It has been shown that there is a high incidence of latent iron deficiency (sideropenia) in the female population. To assess the role of this deficiency as a cause of symptoms a double blind trial of iron and placebo therapy was carried out on 20 sideropenic women presenting with symptoms. The incidence of all the symptoms studied fell and there was no significant difference between iron and placebo in producing improvement. A significant rise in haemoglobin level occurred only in response to iron therapy and this was reversed on cessation of iron. No significant changes in haemoglobin occurred in response to the placebo. It has been concluded that while iron has no specific effect on the symptoms associated with sideropenia, it will produce a significant rise in haemoglobin level, reverse biochemical defects and, in a minority, prevent development of iron deficiency anaemia.

A study was performed on 100 pregnant women in the outpatient department of gynecology and obstetrics of Maternity and Children Hospital in Al-Diwaniya City during the period between (March to September 2016). One hundred blood samples (50 for patients and 50 for control) were collected under the supervision of the treating gynecologist. The detection of Helicobacter. pylori was done by the use of the serum antibody Rapid test. The results showed that 50 (100%) were positive and 50 (100%) were negative for H. pylori in above method.All blood of patients and control samples were used for the extraction of genomic DNA,where the 107 bp PCR product size. Genotyping of the TNF-α-308 SNP (G/A)was performed by restriction fragment length polymorphism PCR (RFLP-PCR). PCR products were digested with restr NcoI iction enzyme. Individuals with the TNF-α-308(GG) homozygote produced digested DNA bands at 80,and 20 bp bp. A heterozygous genotype ofTNF-α-308 (GA)produced 107 bp,80 bp,and 20 bp bands. Individuals with the TNF-α-308 (AA) homozygote genotype had no amplicon digested and generated only one band of 107 bp. There was a significant difference in the frequency of the TNF-α-308(GG)genotype between H. pylori positive group and H. pylori negative group(72%,78% respectively). Also for GA genotype,there was a significant difference between H. pylori positive group and H. pylori negative group(24%,18% respectively). Concerning the frequency of the TNF-α-308 (AA)genotype between H. pylori positive group and H. pylori negative group,there was no significant difference between the two groups.

Nasal Mucociliary Clearance

AbstractObjectiveThis study aimed to examine nasal mucociliary clearance time in patients with Helicobacter pylori infection.MethodsFifty patients who were newly diagnosed with H pylori infection using gastric biopsy in the gastroenterology out-patient clinic, and 50 age- and gender-matched healthy adults who were admitted to the otorhinolaryngology out-patient clinic, were included in this study. After an otorhinolaryngological examination (anterior rhinoscopy and nasal endoscopic examination), the nasal mucociliary clearance time of each subject was calculated using the saccharine test.ResultsThe mean mucociliary clearance time was 06:29 ± 3:31 minutes (range, 00:55–15:19 minutes) in the control group and 10:12 ± 06:09 minutes (range, 01:28–32:00 minutes) in the study group. Comparisons of the two groups revealed a statistically significant difference (p = 0.002).ConclusionNasal mucociliary clearance time was significantly increased in patients with H pylori infection. The results suggest that H pylori infection may have an unfavourable effect on nasal mucociliary clearance.

The Impact

Updated data about the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) and its correlation with histological results are scarce. The aim of our study was to provide current data on the impact of H. pylori in a third-level endoscopy service. We performed a large, retrospective study analyzing the results of all histological samples of gastroscopy from the year 2019. In total, 1512 subjects were included. The prevalence of H. pylori was 16.8%. A significant difference between the prevalence in subjects born in Italy and those from eastern Europe, south America, or Africa was found (p < 0.0001, p = 0.006, and p = 0.0006, respectively). An association was found between H. pylori and active superficial gastritis (p < 0.0001). Current H. pylori and/or a previous finding of H. pylori was related to antral atrophy (p < 0.0001). Fifteen patients had low-grade dysplasia. There were no statistically significant associations with current or past H. pylori infection. One patient presented gastric cardia adenocarcinoma with regular gastric mucosa. One patient, H. pylori positive, was diagnosed with gastric signet ring cell adenocarcinoma in a setting of diffuse atrophy, without metaplasia.. Our study provides updated, solid (biopsy diagnosis and large population) data on the prevalence of H. pylori infection in a representative region of southern Europe.

Abstract Background Iron deficiency anemia disrupts the concentration of adolescent girls; reduces their academic achievement, productivity, and physical strength, and increases the risk of infection. This research aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of the PRECEDE model nutrition education on iron deficiency anemia among female students of Fasa City, Fars Province, Iran. Methods This quasi-experimental study was done on 160 students (80 experimental and 80 control groups) who were selected using a random sampling method in Fasa City, Fars Province, Iran, in 2018–2019. The educational intervention included six sessions based PRECEDE model for 45 or 50 min. A scale of this study consisted of two parts; demographic information, and PRECEDE constructs were used to determine the nutritional behaviors status concluding preventing iron deficiency anemia and hemoglobin, hematocrit, and ferritin blood level in two (before and 4 months after intervention) times. Results In the experimental group of the students the mean age was 13.85 + 1.72 years and in the controlled group was 13.60 + 1.81 years. Moreover, there was no significant difference in the PRECEDE constructs, and nutritional behaviors preventing iron deficiency anemia before the intervention in two groups of study. However, the experimental group showed a significant increase 4 months after the intervention. Also, there was no significant difference in the mean score of hemoglobin, hematocrit, and ferritin blood level between the two groups before the intervention. However, in ferritin level, a significant increase was shown in 4 months after the intervention in the experiential group. Conclusions Based on results, the nutrition intervention education base on PRECEDE model has a positive effect to improve iron deficiency anemia preventive behaviors in female students.

Abstract Background The optimal intravenous (IV) iron would allow safe correction of iron deficiency at a single infusion over a short time. The FERWON-NEPHRO trial evaluated the safety and efficacy of iron isomaltoside 1000/ferric derisomaltose (IIM) in patients with non-dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease and iron deficiency anaemia. Methods In this randomized, open-label and multi-centre trial conducted in the USA, patients were randomized 2:1 to a single dose of 1000 mg IIM or iron sucrose (IS) administered as 200 mg IV injections up to five times within a 2-week period. The co-primary endpoints were serious or severe hypersensitivity reactions and change in haemoglobin (Hb) from baseline to Week 8. Secondary endpoints included incidence of composite cardiovascular adverse events (AEs). Results A total of 1538 patients were enrolled (mean estimated glomerular filtration rate 35.5 mL/min/1.73 m2). The co-primary safety objective was met based on no significant difference in the incidence of serious or severe hypersensitivity reactions in the IIM and IS groups [0.3% versus 0%; risk difference: 0.29% (95% confidence interval: –0.19; 0.77; P &gt; 0.05)]. Incidence of composite cardiovascular AEs was significantly lower in the IIM versus IS group (4.1% versus 6.9%; P = 0.025). Compared with IS, IIM led to a more pronounced increase in Hb during the first 4 weeks (P ≤ 0.021), and change in Hb to Week 8 showed non-inferiority, confirming that the co-primary efficacy objective was met. Conclusions Compared with multiple doses of IS, a single dose of IIM induced a non-inferior 8-week haematological response, comparably low rates of hypersensitivity reactions, and a significantly lower incidence of composite cardiovascular AEs.

ABSTRACT Helicobacter mustelae, the gastric pathogen of ferrets, produces an array of surface ring structures which have not been described for any other member of the genus Helicobacter, including H. pylori. The unique ring structures are composed of a protein named Hsr. To investigate whether the Hsr rings are important for colonization of the ferret stomach, ferrets specific pathogen free for H. mustelae were inoculated with an Hsr-deficient mutant strain or the wild-type H. mustelae strain. Quantitative cultures from antral biopsy specimens obtained at 3, 6, and 9 weeks postinoculation demonstrated no significant difference in the levels of bacteria in the ferrets that received the Hsr-negative strain and the ferrets infected with the parent strain. However, when the ferrets were biopsied at 12 and 15 weeks and necropsied at 18 weeks after infection, the levels of bacteria of the Hsr-negative strain in the stomach antrum were significantly reduced. This decline contrasted the robust antral colonization by the wild-type strain. The Hsr-negative strain did not efficiently colonize the gastric body of the study ferrets. Histological examination at 18 weeks postinoculation revealed minimal gastric inflammation in the animals that received the mutant H. mustelae strain, a finding consistent with its waning infection status, whereas lesions characteristic of helicobacter infection were present in ferrets infected with the wild-type strain. Scant colonization by the Hsr-negative H. mustelae strain at the end of the 18-week study, despite initial successful colonization, indicates an inability of the mutant to persist, perhaps due to a specific host response.

BACKGROUND:Helicobacter pyloriis causally associated with peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer. Although effective treatment is available, studies have shown that patients withH pyloriare often not well managed. Recently, there has also been increasing awareness of patient safety concerns arising from missed follow-up of abnormal test results.OBJECTIVE: To examine whether inpatients and outpatients diagnosed withH pylorireceive appropriate treatment.PATIENTS AND METHODS: All patients who were diagnosed withH pyloriby gastric biopsy in London, Ontario between January 1, 2004, and December 31, 2004, were identified. The hospital charts of these patients were reviewed. Outpatient office charts, clinic notes, pathology reports and endoscopy reports were also reviewed.RESULTS: One hundred ninety-three patients were diagnosed withH pyloriby gastric biopsy in 2004. Of the 193 patients, 143 (74%) were outpatients and 50 (26%) were inpatients. Overall, 89% of patients received treatment forH pylori. Ninety-two per cent of outpatients were treated, while only 60% of inpatients received treatment (P<0.001). Among the inpatients, the pathology report was available in 40% of the cases before the patient was discharged from the hospital. After discharge from the hospital, 30% of inpatients received appropriate treatment and follow-up. There was no significant difference in treatment whether the patient was admitted to a medical or a nonmedical service.CONCLUSION:H pyloriis treated relatively poorly in inpatients compared with outpatients. Results of the present study reveal opportunities to improve delivery of care for inpatients on a number of different levels. More research is needed to ensure safety, effectiveness and timeliness in the test result management process.
