Article Synopsis
- A study compared the stability of two types of hook plates used in surgeries: a standard 3.5 mm distal locking plate and a new low profile 2.7 mm plate, addressing concerns about fractures related to hook plates.
- Finite element analysis revealed that both plates demonstrated similar performance, with the low profile plate showing lower stress on critical areas like the acromion when three distal screws were used.
- The results indicate that increasing the number of screws reduces stress concentration, emphasizing the importance of screw placement, particularly the posterior screw, in ensuring optimal stress distribution on the bone.
Background/aims: Recent studies have found that probiotics have anti-Helicobacter pylori (HP) properties. We evaluated the additive effects of (i) Saccharomyces boulardii combined with proton pump inhibitor (PPI)-based triple therapy and (ii) S. boulardii and a mucoprotective agent (DA-9601) coupled with PPI-based triple therapy for HP eradication.

- * Researchers analyzed data from 2,297 patients who received a standard triple therapy with various proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), followed by an H. pylori test after treatment.
- * Results indicated no significant difference in eradication rates between NUD and PUD patients, though omeprazole showed a better eradication rate for NUD patients specifically, suggesting that different PPIs do not significantly affect eradication rates overall.
Background/aims: Antibiotic resistance and poor compliance are the main causes of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication failure. Proton pump inhibitor (PPI)-based triple therapy is the most preferred regimen in clinical practice.
