My Body Makes My Brain Look Like an Idiot...
I'm getting older. I hurt more. I creak more. My ankles sound like they're each having their own personal fireworks display every single morning when I walk downstairs to feed the dog.
He's getting old, too. We commiserate. "Another gray hair?" I tease.
"Pot, meet kettle," he'd respond if he could. Touché, Bear.
Each day brings a new malady, depending on what I eat, how I exercise, how much sleep I get, or if I have one too many glasses of wine. My liver has given up having even a shred of compassion for my unintelligence.
And for some reason, my allergies whalloped me very hard this year. I can tolerate almost anythi...

An Aspirin a Day: Is the Benefit Worth the Risk?
Studies have shown that aspirin, the age old remedy for pain and fever, also thins the blood. Because of this property, it can also help to lower the chances of a heart attack or a stroke caused by a blood clot in the brain. And, although research has found that it only works in certain people (specifically, those with a history of heart attack or stroke) many Americans are inappropriately taking daily, low doses of aspirin as a preventative measure. In fact, researchers have found that about 12 percent of the of nearly 69,000 U.S. adults taking aspirin on a long-term basis should not have received the prescription in the ...

Beyond the stomach: An updated view of Helicobacter pylori pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment.
Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is an extremely common, yet underappreciated, pathogen that is able to alter host physiology and subvert the host immune response, allowing it to persist for the life of the host. H. pylori is the primary cause of peptic ulcers and gastric cancer. In the United States, the annual cost associated with peptic ulcer disease is estimated to be $6 billion and gastric cancer kills over 700000 people per year globally. The prevalence of H. pylori infection remains high (> 50%) in much of the world, although the infection rates are dropping in some developed nations. The drop in...

Epigenetic silencing of BTB and CNC homology 2 and concerted promoter CpG methylation in gastric cancer
In this study, restriction landmark genomic scanning revealed methylation at a NotI site in a CpG island covering the BACH2 promoter in gastric cancer cell lines and primary gastric tumors. Increased methylation of the BACH2 promoter was observed in 52% (43/83) of primary gastric tumors, and BACH2 hypermethylation was significantly associated with decreased gene expression. Treatment with 5-aza-2′-deoxycytidine and/or trichostatin. A restored BACH2 expression in BACH2-silenced gastric cancer cell lines, and knockdown of BACH2 using short hairpin RNA (i.e. RNA interference) increased cell proliferation in gastric cancer c...

Is Helicobacter Pylori Always a "Bad Guy"?
Abstract
Various clinical presentations have been ascribed to Helicobacter (H.) pylori. Most importantly, H. pylori is considered the leading cause of gastric cancer worldwide and because of that, in adult population, it is listed as a number one carcinogen. However, children are less prone to develop H. pylori related serious diseases such as peptic ulcer disease (PUD) and cases of malignancy are only sporadically reported. On the other hand, there is an increasing level of evidence suggesting that H. pylori in children could also have a beneficial effect. Recently, several data confirmed previously described inv...

Vitamins: stop taking the pills
This article was corrected on 7 June 2013.

Why All The Buzz About Gluten-Free
Today, gluten-free products and diets are all the rage. In fact, a recent study finds as many as 1.6 million Americans avoid gluten, even though they haven’t been diagnosed with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
Although there is no harm in eliminating gluten from your diet, doctors say there is no reason to avoid it—unless you’re one of the two million people who cannot tolerate the proteins.
“Gluten is bad for some people, but certainly not all,” explains Michelle Nacouzi, MD, a primary care physician at Duke Primary Care Brier Creek. “So unless you’ve been diagnosed with celiac disease or gluten sensi...

Adenocarcinoma of the Stomach and Neuroendocrine Carcinoma of the Colon in a 45-Year-Old Male Patient Suffering from Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID) and Ulcerative Colitis.
Abstract
Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is the most common primary antibody deficient syndrome in adults. Among the broad spectrum of clinical manifestations are recurrent infections, allergies, autoimmune, tumour, pulmonary, liver and gastrointestinal diseases. Here we report the case of a 45-year-old male patient, who has been suffering from ulcerative colitis - likewise recognised as a CVID-associated disease - for many years. He was admitted to our clinic with a rapid progressive reduction of his general condition and a loss of weight. Diagnostic work-up revealed adenocarcinoma of the stomach as well ...
