New CagL Amino Acid Polymorphism Patterns of in Peptic Ulcer and Non-Ulcer Dyspepsia.

: infection is associated with chronic gastritis, ulcers, and gastric cancer. The Type 4 secretion system (T4SS) translocates the CagA protein into host cells and plays an essential role in initiating gastric carcinogenesis. The CagL protein is a component of the T4SS.

[Detection of intestinal parasites with conventional and molecular methods in follow-up HIV/AIDS cases].

In people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), several complaints related to the gastrointestinal system, mainly diarrhea can be determined. In our study, we aimed to detect the existence of intestinal parasites with conventional methods based on microscopy and with molecular methods based on multiplex-PCR among 90 anti-retroviral treatment (ART) naive or ART adherent HIV/AIDS cases. The existence of Giardia spp.

Effect of nasal mometasone furoate on the nasal and nasopharyngeal flora.

Objective: Mometasone furoate (MF) is one of the commonly used topical steroids, particularly for patients with allergic rhinitis.
