Cholecystectomy, peptic ulcer disease and the risk of adenocarcinoma of the oesophagus and gastric cardia.

TL;DR: The aim of this study was to determine whether previous cholecystectomy or peptic ulcer disease affects the risk of oesophageal carcinoma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antibiotic treatment and risk of gastric cancer

TL;DR: The results do not confirm earlier observational findings of a reduced risk of gastric cancer following exposure to heavy antibiotic treatment among hip replacement patients and emphasise that detection of such an effect, if any, may require considerable efforts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epigastric distress syndrome.

TL;DR: The aim of a recently concluded study was to delineate the category of patients who suffer from chronic or recurrent epigastric pain without symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome and without any anatomical correlates, and an alternative designation is proposed, "Epigastrics Distress Syndrome".
Journal ArticleDOI

Incidence of ovarian cancer among alcoholic women: a cohort study in Sweden.

TL;DR: The results indicate an overall deficit of cases of ovarian cancer of about 14% among women with a diagnosis of alcoholism, compatible with the reported reduction of gonadotrophin levels among alcoholic women younger than 60 years and with the hypothesis invoking these gonadOTrophins in the etiology of Ovarian cancer.
