Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of eradication therapy on patients with dyspepsia, focusing on short and long-term symptom improvement following treatment.
- Results showed that about 34.5% of patients experienced symptom relief at 2 months post-eradication, and many maintained improvement up to 12 months.
- Overall, the findings suggest that patients with dyspepsia associated with a specific infection should consider eradication therapy to reduce their symptoms effectively.
Background: A new image-enhanced endoscopy method called texture and colour enhancement imaging (TXI) enhances brightness, surface irregularities, and subtle colour changes in endoscopic images. However, it is unclear whether TXI and narrow-band imaging (NBI) with third-generation high-vision transnasal ultrathin endoscopy are advantageous over white-light imaging (WLI) for detecting atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, map-like redness and gastric cancer. We investigated to compare the endoscopic efficacy for evaluation of gastritis between TXI and NBI with high-vision transnasal endoscopy and clarified the endoscopic efficacy of TXI and NBI compared to WLI.
