Background/aims: To evaluate a new monoclonal antibody for Helicobacter pylori urease in gastric tissue.
Methods: A total of 107 volunteers were enrolled. All subjects underwent a (13)C-urea breath test and esophagogastroduodenoscopy.
Purpose: We prospectively analyzed the differences in the preoperative status and final outcomes between patients with or without the motivation for prompt surgery after a recent diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).
Methods: One hundred fifty-six patients were enrolled and followed up from a cohort of 220 patients who were diagnosed with CTS between 2011 and 2013. Basic demographic factors, including the occupational features, were investigated in group 1 (n = 52, conservative treatment followed by surgery) and group 2 (n = 100, surgery immediately after diagnosis).
Objective: To investigate the effects of asymptomatic back muscle weakness and spinal deformity on low back pain (LBP).
Methods: Sixty healthy subjects without LBP participated in this study. Radiography and an isokinetic/isometric dynamometer were used to respectively measure spinal scoliosis/lordosis and the strength of the trunk flexors/extensors.
Background: To evaluate the effects of severe hypoglycemia without hypokalemia on the electrocardiogram in patients with type 2 diabetes in real-life conditions.
Methods: Electrocardiograms of adult type 2 diabetic patients during the episodes of severe hypoglycemia and the recovered stage were obtained and analysed between October 1, 2011 and May 31, 2012. Patients who maintained the normal serum sodium and potassium levels during the episodes of severe hypoglycemia were only selected as the subjects of this study.
