A Qualitative Study of the Pain Experiences of Children and Their Parents at a Canadian Children's Hospital.

Current literature is lacking in describing families' experiences in being involved in children's pain management. This study sought to understand children and their parents' experiences with pain management at a tertiary care children's hospital. Twelve child-parent dyads were recruited to participate in the study from January to August 2022.

Prevalence and incidence of gastroduodenal ulcers during treatment with vascular protective doses of aspirin.

Background: Aspirin is valuable for preventing vascular events, but information about ulcer frequency is necessary to inform risk-benefit decisions in individual patients.

Aim: To determine ulcer prevalence and incidence in a population representative of those given aspirin therapy and evaluate risk predictors.

Methods: Patients taking aspirin 75-325 mg daily were recruited from four countries.

Inhibitory potency of twice-a-day omeprazole on gastric acidity is enhanced by eradication of H. pylori in duodenal ulcer patients.

The gastric pH-elevating effect of proton pump inhibitors such as omeprazole has been reported to be greater in the presence than in the absence of an H. pylori infection. It is unknown if this effect persists when a higher dose of omeprazole is taken.
