Comparative diagnostic performance of rapid urease test with the sweeping method versus tissue sampling method after Helicobacter pylori eradication (with video)
Post written by Choong-Kyun Noh, MD, PhD, from the Department of Gastroenterology, Ajou University School of Medicine, Suwon, South Korea. Helicobacter pylori infection is associated with gastric diseases such as gastritis, peptic ulcers, mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma, and gastric cancer. As H pylori eradication can reduce gastric cancer incidence and metachronous gastric cancer rate after …
Validation of a pre-endoscopy risk score for predicting the presence of gastric intestinal metaplasia in a U.S. population
Post written by Mimi C. Tan, MD, MPH, from the Section of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Department of Medicine, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, USA. Gastric cancer is thought to develop via a progression from gastric atrophy and gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM) in the setting of Helicobacter pylori infection. Although several risk factors for GIM have …
