The Role of Helicobacter pylori in Stomach Cancer Incidence: A Study in Rural Communities in Rajasthan
Abstract: Background: Stomach cancer remains a major global health challenge, with a particularly high burden in developing regions. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is a known risk factor for gastric malignancy. In India, especially in rural states like Rajasthan, there is limited data on the prevalence of H. pylori and its association with stomach cancer, despite the high incidence of gastric diseases. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among rural communities …

Unraveling Ulcerogenesis: A Comprehensive Delve of Enteric & Nonenteric Ulcers
Abstract: Enteric ulcers present a multifaceted landscape encompassing both peptic and non-peptic varieties, demanding a thorough exploration of their manifestations, causes, and pathophysiology. At the forefront of understanding lie pivotal factors such as Helicobacter pylori infection, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs usage, lifestyle choices, and stress, each wielding significant influence over ulcer development and progression. The intricate interplay of these factors underscores the complexity of enteric ulcer etiology. Helicobacter pylori infection—a prevalent culprit—inflicts …

Epidemiology of Stomach Cancer in Northeastern States of India: Focusing on Nagaland and the Effectiveness of Screening Programs
Abstract: Stomach cancer represents a critical public health burden in northeastern India, with Nagaland exhibiting the highest age-standardized incidence rate in the country - nearly triple the national average. This elevated risk profile stems from multiple factors including traditional dietary practices (high consumption of smoked meats and fermented foods), widespread Helicobacter pylori infection (affecting approximately 70% of adults), prevalent tobacco/alcohol use, and limited healthcare infrastructure. Despite demonstrated success of endoscopic screening …

Systematic Review on: Peptic Ulcer and Its Management
Abstract: Peptic ulcer disease (PUD), which affects 5–10% of people worldwide, is still a significant global health concern. Gastric acid and pepsin's corrosive effects cause mucosal injury in the stomach, duodenum, or lower oesophagus. Long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and Helicobacter pylori infection are the primary reasons. This review's goal is to examine PUD's aetiology, risk factors, pathophysiology, clinical symptoms, diagnostic methods, and evidence-based treatment modalities. PubMed, Google Scholar, …

A Systematic Review on Peptic Ulcer Disease and its Pharmacological Treatment
Abstract: A chronic gastrointestinal condition known as Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD) is typified by the formation of ulcers or mucosal erosions in the proximal duodenum and stomach. In the pathophysiology of PUD, the equilibrium between defensive processes like mucus and bicarbonate secretion, mucosal blood flow, and prostaglandin production, and aggressive factors such stomach acid secretion, pepsin activity, and Helicobacter pylori infection, is upset. Although stress and food have historically been blamed, …
