TL;DR: A novel sequential regimen, consisting of a simple dual therapy given for the first 5 days followed by a triple therapy for the remaining 5 days, achieved a very high cure rate as compared with standard triple therapy and may depend on increased efficacy of the sequential regimen against the clarithromycin-resistant strains.

TL;DR: The preliminary data show that the presence of the CagA gene becomes irrelevant when sequential therapy is used, and the likelihood of successful treatment with conventional Helicobacter pylori triple therapy is reduced.

TL;DR: It is suggested that an unusual lymphocyte reaction, with the tendency to invade the foveolar lumen, is a distinctive histopathological aspect of H heilmannii chronic gastritis, although further studies in a larger series are necessary to confirm this fact.

TL;DR: A significant reduction of oestrogen receptor-beta expression already in the pre-cancerous phase of colon carcinogenesis is demonstrated, for the first time, and suggests a role of selective oestrogens receptor- beta agonists in the prevention of colorectal cancer.

TL;DR: A clinical case of CD occurred in a young woman 8 years after a diagnosis of lupus nephritis according to clinical, laboratory and histological criteria and confirms and extends the concept that in patients with CD a more accurate detection of autoimmune associated disorders is required.
