Aging is a multifactorial biological process characterized by a decline in physiological function and increasing susceptibility to various diseases, including malignancies and gastrointestinal disorders. Helicobacter pylori () infection is highly prevalent among older adults, particularly those in institutionalized settings, contributing to conditions such as atrophic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, and gastric carcinoma. This review examines the intricate interplay between aging, gastrointestinal changes, and pathogenesis.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the relationship between the presence of Gram-negative bacteria, specifically Helicobacter pylori (Hp), and white blood cell (WBC) counts in individuals undergoing physical exams, noting that Hp can lead to digestive issues like gastritis and ulcers.* ! -
- Data from 864 participants showed that those infected with Hp had significantly higher WBC counts compared to those without the infection, suggesting a possible link between Hp infection and immune response.* ! -
- Statistical analyses revealed a positive correlation between the number of Hp bacteria (measured through a breath test) and WBC counts, indicating that higher infection levels may lead to increased WBC counts in the body.* !

Article Synopsis
- Helicobacter suis is a common non-H. pylori Helicobacter that can lead to several health issues, including gastritis and neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson's disease, and its pathogenicity varies among strains.
- A study aimed to determine the prevalence of H. suis in pork products, finding it in 28.6% of samples, with 3 isolates showing the αCgT virulence gene and some exhibiting antibiotic multiresistance.
- The research successfully used PCR and Fluorescence in situ Hybridization (FISH) methods to quickly and specifically detect H. suis in pork, highlighting its potential significance as a zoonotic pathogen.

Article Synopsis
- Upper gastrointestinal (UGI) symptoms are frequently noted in patients at health facilities, but limited access to endoscopy services has hindered the understanding of common UGI diseases in the region.
- A study conducted in Asella, Ethiopia, involving 279 patients undergoing esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), found that 74% had abnormal endoscopic results, primarily due to dyspepsia and concerns about cancers.
- The most prevalent abnormal findings included esophageal cancer (10.4%) and gastric cancer (10%), with a recommendation for healthcare providers to be vigilant for these cancers in patients showing severe UGI symptoms.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the prevalence of a particular bacterial infection in patients showing symptoms related to gastritis and peptic ulcers, which are linked to serious gastrointestinal diseases.
- A total of 67 patients were analyzed, revealing that 43% tested positive for the infection, with various endoscopic findings, including stomach ulcers and nonulcer dyspepsia.
- The urease test used in the study is noted for its quick results and high accuracy, but its invasive nature limits its acceptance among patients.

Gastritis and gastric ulcers are common gastric diseases that are caused by infection, drugs, alcohol consumption, or stress. These conditions lead to increased inflammatory cytokines and recruitment of leukocytes, which damage the stomach mucosa and exacerbate disease severity. (SA), an annual vine in the family, is known to have an anti-inflammatory effect, but its efficacy for preventing gastritis and gastric ulcers has not yet been evaluated.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate how Helicobacter pylori infection affects gastric lesions in patients with non-eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases (non-EoE EGIDs).
- A review of 75 patients found that common gastric findings included erythema, erosions, ulcers, and edema, with no significant differences based on gastric mucosal atrophy, which indicates H. pylori infection.
- The researchers concluded that gastric ulcers in non-EoE EGIDs should be considered when diagnosing idiopathic peptic ulcers, as there was no specific pattern in lesion frequency related to atrophic gastritis.

Article Synopsis
- Helicobacter pylori infects over half of the global population and is the leading cause of chronic gastritis, which can result in serious conditions like peptic ulcers and stomach cancer, particularly in Colombia where infection rates exceed 80%.
- A study in Pereira, Colombia analyzed five H. pylori isolates from patients with different gastritis severities, revealing that all were resistant to at least one antimicrobial and had distinct genetic traits associated with virulence.
- The findings underscore the diversity in antimicrobial resistance and genome characteristics of H. pylori in gastritis cases, which can inform more effective treatment strategies tailored to specific infections.
