Persistent infection with Helicobacter pylori is associated the recurrence of duodenal ulcer. Whether efficacy bismuth therapy in reducing rate ulcer due to its antimicrobial effects on H. or a direct protective action mucosa still matter debate.
Our study aimed to investigate the prevalence and timing of ocular surface manifestations in hospitalized COVID-19 patients, providing insights into occurrence eye involvement before, during, or after illness. This contributes understanding extent COVID-19, which has been suggested occur due potential viral entry through eyes. 451 confirmed patients had a history hospitalization Styria, Austria. The included 176 aged 18-95 years who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 nasopharyngeal swabs by...
We isolated a novel hepatitis E virus (HEV-Au1) variant from patient in Austria suffering acute viral hepatitis, who had no known risk factors for acquiring E. The clinical presentation and initial serological findings have been reported previously. In this paper we report the results of sequence phylogenetic analysis HEV products RNA phase serum. show that HEV-Au1 is significantly divergent other isolates. nucleotide identity analysed fragments isolate ranges 76.6 to 78.4% when compared...
Background: Whilst the role of Helicobacter pylori eradication in managing duodenal ulcers has been established, consensus regarding ideal regimen not achieved. Methods: Patients with H. ‐positive active ulcer were randomly assigned to receive triple therapy amoxycillin 1000 mg b.d. + clarithromycin 500 omeprazole 20 daily for 10 days (ACT‐10) or dual t.d.s. 40 14 (Dual). No additional acid suppression was provided following therapy. Endoscopy, biopsy culture and histology, as well 13 C‐urea...
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) targets the and gastric epithelium, causing disease 2019 (COVID-19). Tissue antigen expression variations influence host susceptibility to many infections. This study aimed investigate closely linked Lewis (FUT3) ABO histo-blood types, including secretor (FUT2) status, infections with SARS-CoV-2 corresponding severity of COVID-19.Patients (Caucasians, n = 338) were genotyped for ABO, FUT3, FUT2, compared a reference population...
Objectives To compare the efficacy of 20 mg with 40 pantoprazole in maintaining symptomatic and endoscopic remission patients gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD). Study design Patients (18-84 years old;n= 433) healed GORD II or III were included this prospective multi-centre, randomized, parallel, double-blind study. Pantoprazole was administered once daily for up to 1 year as either a enteric-coated tablet 221 212 patients, respectively. Symptoms assessed every 3 months. Endoscopy...
Severe gastrointestinal bleeding is a rare complication of radiation therapy that requires frequent transfusions. This case report describes patient with severe from colitis after treatment bladder cancer. During 5 months multiple drugs, the needed 26 units packed red cells. A subsequent hormone consisting an estrogen-progesterone combination significantly reduced need for blood transfusions and hospitalization. We conclude hormones might provide promising new additional symptomatic...
Objective: Ranitidine bismuth citrate (RBC) b.i.d. with Clarithromycin q.i.d. eradicates Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) in 82–94% of patients, and heals duodenal ulcers 88–90% patients. This double blind, placebo-controlled study examines the efficacy a simpler treatment regimen, potential benefit including second antibiotic, metronidazole, to regimen. Methods: A total 648 patients active ulcer received RBC 400 mg for 4 wk, coprescribed 250 q.i.d., 500 b.i.d., or metronidazole first 2 wk...
Abstract. A 56‐year‐old patient was admitted to hospital because of difficulties in swallowing and opening his mouth. The serological transaminases were increased. Over the next 6 weeks a bioptically proven polymyositis (more proximally located) caused respiratory insufficiency which had be treated by artificial respiration. tetraplegia connected with large increase creatine‐kinase also seen. general investigations focused on malign processes particular search for bronchial carcinoma. At...
Risk prediction is an essential part of clinical care, in order to allocate resources and provide care appropriately. During the COVID-19 pandemic risk became a matter political public debate as major need guide medical organizational decisions. We previously presented simplified stratification score based on nomogram developed Wuhan, China early phase pandemic. Here we aimed validate this larger patient cohort from one city Austria. Age, oxygen saturation, C-reactive protein levels...
We conducted a large prospective, multicenter clinical investigation on the antimicrobial resistance of H. pylori strains against clarithromycin and quinolones in Austria.
Background and Aim It is known that SARS-CoV-2 can affect the respiratory system as well GI tract. Emerging evidence highlights a crosstalk between intestinal microbiota lungs, termed ‘gut-lung axis’. This retrospective cohort study aims to investigate potential association gastrointestinal COVID-19 manifestations.
