Seven-day vonoprazan-based triple therapy as first-line treatment in comparison with extended sequential therapy.

Background And Aim: Vonoprazan as a new acid blocker has more potency and longer lasting acid suppression than proton pump inhibitors. Whether the efficacy of vonoprazan-based triple therapy is comparable with or even better than that of currently recommended first-line therapies is still unknown. Our study aims to compare the eradication rate and major adverse effects between 7-day vonoprazan-based triple therapy with high-dose amoxicillin and 14-day extended sequential therapy.

Long-Term Visit-to-Visit Glycemic Variability as a Predictor of Major Adverse Limb and Cardiovascular Events in Patients With Diabetes.

Background Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a severe complication in patients with type 2 diabetes. Glycemic variability (GV) is associated with increased risks of developing microvascular and macrovascular diseases. However, few studies have focused on the association between GV and PAD.
