The necessity and appropriate range of the diagnostic & #8220;gray zone & #8221; of 13C-urea breath test
Conclusions: Accuracy of 13C-UBT over 2‰–6‰ was poor, and the gray zone was changed to 2‰–4.95‰. 13C-UBT results over 2‰–4.95‰ should be interpreted with caution during mass screening of H. pylori, especially for patients with gastric antral intestinal metaplasia.

Relationship between untreated obstructive sleep apnea and breath hydrogen and methane after glucose load
Conclusion: Elevated breath H2 or CH4 after glucose load might not be an uncommon finding in patients with untreated OSA. Abdominal obesity and autonomic imbalance dysfunction are significantly associated with GBT positivity in OSA patients. SIBO could be considered as target for therapeutic management in OSA patients.
