Primary: To demonstrate that PA32540 causes fewer gastric ulcers in subjects at risk for developing aspirin-associated gastric ulcers compared to enteric coated (EC) aspirin 325 mg.
This study uses an open-label design and will be conducted in approximately 40 sites in the United States. Approximately 400 subjects will be enrolled in the study to ensure that approxima...
Low dose of aspirin is the main cause of gastro-duodenal ulcer. The best prevention is not definite particularly in patients without history of ulcer and infected by H. pylori.The aim of ...
Cytokine Gene Polymorphisms in Gastric Diseases
Recently, cytokine polymorphisms are considered to play an important role in the pathogenesis of peptic ulcer and gastric cancer. We intended to clarify the association between polymorphis...
Enteric Coating as a Factor in Aspirin Resistance
Aspirin is an essential drug for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. The standard dose is 75mg per day (much lower than that for inflammation or fever). One of the side-effects of a...
Perforated gastric ulcer in severe dengue infection: A case report.
Abdominal pain is one of the common presentations in severe dengue infection. We report a rare case of perforated gastric ulcer in a young man diagnosed with severe dengue infection and the challenges...
Although Lactobacillus species are recognized as normal inhabitants of porcine gastric mucosa, the association of these bacteria with health status or gastric ulcer disease has never been considered. ...
Aspirin and Risk of Gastric Cancer After Helicobacter pylori Eradication: A Territory-Wide Study.
Despite successful H. pylori (HP) eradication, some individuals remain at risk of developing gastric cancer (GC). Previous studies showed that aspirin was associated with a reduced GC risk. However, w...
Little is known about the role of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in the gastric ulcer and the effect of alp...
The main action of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) is to inhibit gastric acid secretion, and PPIs are widely used to treat gastric ulcer (GU). However, if the action of promoting gastric mucosal regener...
Peptic Ulcer
Ulcer that occurs in the regions of the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT which come into contact with GASTRIC JUICE containing PEPSIN and GASTRIC ACID. It occurs when there are defects in the MUCOSA barrier. The common forms of peptic ulcers are associated with HELICOBACTER PYLORI and the consumption of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS).
Stomach Ulcer
Ulceration of the GASTRIC MUCOSA due to contact with GASTRIC JUICE. It is often associated with HELICOBACTER PYLORI infection or consumption of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS).
Gastric Stump
That portion of the stomach remaining after gastric surgery, usually gastrectomy or gastroenterostomy for cancer of the stomach or peptic ulcer. It is a common site of cancer referred to as stump cancer or carcinoma of the gastric stump.
Sodium Salicylate
A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent that is less effective than equal doses of ASPIRIN in relieving pain and reducing fever. However, individuals who are hypersensitive to ASPIRIN may tolerate sodium salicylate. In general, this salicylate produces the same adverse reactions as ASPIRIN, but there is less occult gastrointestinal bleeding. (From AMA Drug Evaluations Annual, 1992, p120)
Asthma, Aspirin-induced
Asthmatic adverse reaction (e.g., BRONCHOCONSTRICTION) to conventional NSAIDS including aspirin use.
