and corpus gastric pathology are associated with lower serum ghrelin.

Aim: To evaluate the association of (), genotype, and type of gastric pathology with ghrelin, leptin and nutritional status.

Methods: Fasted dyspeptic adults (18-70 years) referred for an upper digestive endoscopy were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Height and weight were assessed for body mass index (BMI) calculation.

Dietary and anthropometric indicators of nutritional status in relation to Helicobacter pylori infection in a paediatric population.

It has been postulated that Helicobacter pylori infection could affect growth and appetite, consequently influencing body weight. Therefore, the association between H. pylori infection and the dietary and anthropometric indicators of nutritional status of a paediatric population were investigated.

Decreasing trend of Helicobacter pylori infection in children with gastrointestinal symptoms from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Iron, zinc, and copper nutritional status in children infected with Helicobacter pylori.

Patients And Methods: : A cross-sectional study was carried out in 395 children (4-16 years) with upper gastrointestinal symptoms, who were tested for H pylori infection by the C-urea breath test.

Effect of iron deficiency anemia on the biodistribution of 99mTc radiopharmaceuticals.

The distribution of colloids and labeled cells in organs is influenced by their intrinsic properties and by the state of the investigated subject. Iron deficiency remains an unsolved nutritional problem all over the world; one of its severe consequences is anemia. Because iron metabolism principally takes place in the liver, spleen, bone marrow, skeletal muscle and blood, we studied the effect of iron deficiency anemia on the biodistribution of 99mTc phytate, 99mTc gelatin colloid and 99mTc RBC (red blood cells labeled with 99mTc).
