The Basics of Peptic Ulcers
Peptic ulcers can cause a variety of symptoms, and these vary from patient to patient. Some patients with ulcers have minimal, unusual, or even no symptoms at all. Others may have every symptom. This is why it is very important to consult your doctor if you have any concerns.
It is important to understand the causes of peptic ulcers. In the past, it was believed stress and diet caused peptic ulcers. Later, researchers stated stomach acids (hydrochloric acid and pepsin) contributed to the majority of ulcer formation. Today, however, research shows that most ulcers develop as a result of infection with a bacterium called ...

Genetic Variations Associated With Susceptibility To Bacteria Linked To Stomach Disorders
Two genome-wide association studies and a subsequent meta-analysis have found that certain genetic variations are associated with susceptibility to Helicobacter pylori, a bacteria that is a major cause of gastritis and stomach ulcers and is linked to stomach cancer, findings that may help explain some of the observed variation in individual risk for H pylori infection, according to a study in the May 8 issue of JAMA...

Helicobacter Pylori Combined With A High-Salt Diet Increases Risk Of Cancer
Numerous epidemiologic studies have shown that a diet high in salt is associated with an increased risk of gastric cancer. Now Timothy L. Cover and colleagues of Vanderbilt University show that high dietary salt combined with infection by the ulcer-causing bacterium Helicobacter pylori greatly increases the risk of cancer. The study was published ahead of print in the journal Infection and Immunity. In the study, the researchers infected Mongolian gerbils with H. pylori. One set of gerbils received a regular diet; the other, a high salt diet... (Source: Health News from Medical News Today)

Recognition of Nontrivial Remote Homology Relationships Involving Proteins of Helicobacter pylori: Implications for Function Recognition
This chapter explains techniques for recognition of nontrivial remote homology relationships involving proteins of Helicobacter pylori and their implications for function recognition. Using the remote homology detection method, employing multiple-profile representations for every protein domain family, remotely related domain family information has been assigned for the 122, 77, and 95 protein sequences of 26695, and J99, and HPAG1 strains of H. pylori, respectively. Relationships for some of the H. pylori protein sequences with Pfam domain families are reported for the first time. In publicly available domain databases su...

Normal Stomach Microbes May Contribute To Disease Caused By H. pylori-Driven Ulcers
Mice with different naturally occurring stomach bacteria have distinct susceptibilities to disease caused by Helicobacter pylori, the well-known cause of ulcers in humans, according to a study published online ahead of print in the journal Infection and Immunity.

Some Bacteria May Protect Against Disease Caused By Stomach Infection
Half of the world's human population is infected with the stomach bacteria called Helicobacter pylori, yet it causes disease in only about 10 percent of those infected. Other bacteria living in the stomach may be a key factor in whether or not H. pylori causes disease, according to a new study led by scientists at the University of California, Santa Cruz. "People tend to think of the stomach as a relatively sterile environment, but it's actually populated with microbes," said Karen Ottemann, professor and chair of microbiology and environmental toxicology at UC Santa Cruz...
