| the 14c-urea breath-test for the detection of gastric campylobacter pylori infection. | a breath-test has been developed for the detection of gastric infection with campylobacter pylori. urea that is labelled with carbon 14 is administered to a fasting patient and the patient's breath is sampled for radioactivity over the following 30 minutes. if c. pylori is present in the patient's stomach, urease activity causes hydrolysis of the urea and the 14c is absorbed as carbon dioxide. this carbon dioxide enters the patient's bicarbonate pool and eventually is excreted in the breath. the ... | 1989 | 2593958 |
| how helicobacter pylori acquired its name, and how it overcomes gastric defence mechanisms. | at royal perth hospital, western australia in april 1982, spiral bacteria were first cultured from a gastric biopsy specimen. several important taxonomic features were identified which indicated that these bacteria represented a new genus. in october 1989 the new genus name helicobacter was published. helicobacter pylori overcomes gastric defence mechanisms by means of its powerful urease enzyme, by its spiral shape allowing it to penetrate mucus, by adherence to the gastric mucosa and by variou ... | 1994 | 7881010 |
| when is helicobacter pylori infection acquired? | cross sectional surveys have shown an increasing prevalence of helicobacter pylori (h pylori) infection with increasing age in western populations. the aim of this study was to examine the pattern of acquisition of h pylori infection over a 21 year period in a group of 141 adults who had blood samples and serum stored in 1969, 1978, and 1990. a prevalence of h pylori antibody of 39% in 1969 serum samples, 40.9% in 1978, and 34.8% in 1990 was found when assessed by an enzyme linked immunosorbent ... | 1993 | 8282255 |

| helicobacter pylori, helminth infections and growth: a cross-sectional study in a high prevalence population. | helicobacter pylori (h. pylori) infection is usually acquired in childhood and may adversely affect growth, although data are inconsistent. this study investigated growth parameters in a paediatric cohort with a high prevalence of h. pylori and helminth infection. | 2009 | 19191761 |
| helicobacter pylori cytotoxin-associated gene-a antibodies do not predict complications or death in type 2 diabetes: the fremantle diabetes study. | there is cross-sectional evidence that caga antigen produced by helicobacter pylori is associated with coronary heart disease, stroke, atrial fibrillation (af) and microalbuminuria, but no large-scale longitudinal studies have been conducted in diabetic patients. we aimed to determine whether cytotoxin-associated gene-a (caga) seropositivity is independently associated with important vascular outcomes in type 2 diabetes. | 2010 | 20839379 |
