Background/objectives: Eradication therapy for gastritis was approved for insurance coverage by the Japanese government in 2013. Since then, the incidence of gastric cancer discovered after eradication (GCAE) has increased. However, there are only a few reports of GCAE diagnosed more than 10 years after eradication. We investigated the clinicopathological characteristics of early-stage GCAE, including histological types and the interval from eradication to diagnosis.
Methods: Overall, 379 patients with a total of 448 GCAE lesions treated with endoscopic resection or surgery at our hospital between January 2015 and December 2021 were assessed, and 315 patients with a known interval from eradication to diagnosis of GCAE with a total of 354 lesions were included. We classified the cases into two groups: differentiated-type GCAE (D-GCAE; 279 patients, 318 lesions) and undifferentiated-type GCAE (UD-GCAE; 36 patients, 36 lesions).
Results: Smoking and a mild-to-moderate degree of atrophy were risk factors associated with differentiated-type gastric cancer occurring more than 10 years after eradication. Additionally, the rate of a mixture of histological types with relatively high malignant potential was significantly higher in UD-GCAE presenting more than 10 years after eradication group than those presenting within 10 years after eradication.

Purpose Of Review: Acid suppression is the mainstay of management of common foregut disorders, including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease and Helicobacter pylori infection. Drawbacks of standard management with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) include acid lability requiring enteric coating, slow onset of effect, lack of suppression of nocturnal acid breakthrough, and need for administration before meals.
Recent Findings: Potassium-competitive acid blockers (PCABs) are a novel class of acid suppressants that are effective in the management of symptomatic and erosive GERD, peptic ulcer disease and H.

Clinical microbiology involves the detection and differentiation of primarily bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi in patients with infections. Billions of people may be colonised by one or more species of common luminal intestinal parasitic protists (CLIPPs) that are often detected in clinical microbiology laboratories; still, our knowledge on these organisms' impact on global health is very limited. The genera Blastocystis, Dientamoeba, Entamoeba, Endolimax and Iodamoeba comprise CLIPPs species, the life cycles of which, as opposed to single-celled pathogenic intestinal parasites (e.

Mycobacteria ( family) comprise five genera (, , , , and ), which include relevant animal and human pathogens. Histology is a rapid method for preemptively diagnosing mycobacteriosis, contributing to surveillance, control, and eradication. A constraint on histology is the limited sensitivity and specificity of acid-fast stains, as the number of detectable bacilli in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue varies and other microorganisms are acid-fast positive.

The evaluation and management of renal masses, predominantly of the clear cell renal cell carcinoma subtype, have been evolving over the past several years and demanding greater attention from nephrologists. Oncologic survival of localized tumors approaches 100%, where survival is more closely tied to underlying comorbidities including chronic kidney disease (CKD). Early diagnosis and thus increasing prevalence related to incidental discovery of renal masses allows greater emphasis on nephron-sparing procedures and for residual kidney function preservation.

Background And Aim: The childhood poor in wealthy countries have reported worse cognitive, muscle and mental functions as well as more frailty and multimorbidity as older adults. But it is uncertain whether the childhood poor around the world fall short of attaining healthy ageing because information of childhood conditions is often erroneous. Here I present new evidence on the life course shaping of healthy ageing among older adults around the world.
