High dose amoxicillin-based first line regimen is equivalent to sequential therapy in the eradication of H. pylori infection

OBJECTIVE:Helicobater (H.) pylori eradication rates with standard first-line triple therapy have declined to unacceptable levels. To date, amoxicillin-resistant H. pylori strains have rarely been detected. Whether increasing the dosage of amoxicillin in a standard 7 days eradicating regimen may enhance its efficacy is not known. The aim of this paper is to compare the efficacy of a 7 days high-dose amoxicillin based first-line regimen with sequential therapy.PATIENTS AND METHODS:We have retro...

Do aspartate and asparagine acute supplementation influence the onset of fatigue in intense exercise?

AIM: Oxaloacetic acid represents a fundamental intermediary in the metabolism of energy substrate. Asparagine and aspartate constitute precursor compounds of this substance. Therefore, they could affect tricarbossilic acids cycle. Besides, it was suggested that supplementation with aspartate and asparagine determines a muscular glycogen sparing during strenuous physical exercise, even if the real effectiveness remain controversial. The aim of the present pilot study was to evaluate the hypoth...

Sarcopenia and health-related outcomes: an umbrella review of observational studies

Background: The clinical relevance of sarcopenia has increasingly been recognized. However, whether it is associated with the development of other medical conditions is still unclear. Therefore, we aimed to capture the scale of outcomes that have been associated with the presence of sarcopenia and systematically assess the quality, strength, and credibility of these associations using an umbrella review methodology. Methods: A systematic review in several databases was carried out, until 20th...

Nutritional and global indexes of progression in dementia: A 12-month prospective study

Background: To assess the influence of body mass index (BMI) on the progression of dementia. Methods: Sixty elderly outpatients with dementia followed for 12 months. All patients underwent clinical, cognitive, functional, and nutritional assessment at the baseline and after 12 months. Patients were divided into 2 groups by baseline BMI (< or ≥25 kg/m2). Results: Participants with a baseline BMI ≥25 kg/m2 had significantly higher Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores (21±5.1 vs 15.9±5...

The identification of biomarkers predicting acute and maintenance lithium treatment response in bipolar disorder: A plea for further research attention

The prediction of acute and maintenance lithium treatment response carries major clinical and neurobiological implications, warranting systematic review. A Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) compliant review searched major electronic databases from inception until December 2017 for studies documenting a clinical diagnosis of bipolar disorder (BD) made according to the mainstream diagnostic manuals and confirmed by a structured interview. Eligible studi...
