Background/aims: Findings on the impact of eradication on metabolic parameters are inconsistent. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of eradication on metabolic parameters and body composition, including body fat mass and skeletal muscle mass.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the data of asymptomatic patients who underwent health screenings, including bioelectrical impedance analysis, before and after eradication between 2005 and 2021. After matching individuals based on key factors, we compared lipid profiles, metabolic parameters, and body composition between 823 patients from the eradicated group and 823 patients from the non-eradicated groups.
Results: Blood pressure, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and glycated hemoglobin values were significantly lower in the eradicated group than in the non-eradicated group. However, changes in body mass index (BMI), body fat mass, appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM), waist circumference, and lipid profiles were not significantly different between the two groups. In a subgroup analysis of individuals aged >45 years, blood pressure, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and glycated hemoglobin changes were significantly lower in the eradicated group than in the non-eradicated group. BMI values were significantly higher in the eradicated group than in the non-eradicated group; however, no significant differences were observed between the two groups regarding changes in body weight, body fat mass, ASM, or waist circumference. Total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels were significantly lower in the eradicated group than in non-eradicated group.
Conclusions: eradication significantly reduced blood pressure, glucose levels, and systemic inflammation and improved lipid profiles in patients aged >45 years. BMI, body fat mass, ASM, and waist circumference did not significantly differ between patients in the eradicated group and those in the non-eradicated group.

Objective: To convene a global consensus on () screening and eradication strategies for gastric cancer prevention, identify key knowledge gaps and outline future research directions.
Methods: 32 experts from 12 countries developed and refined consensus statements on management, using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) framework to assess evidence and the Delphi method to achieve ≥80% agreement.
Results: Consensus was achieved on 28 statements.

Background/aims: Helicobacter pylori is a pathogen that causes chronic gastritis and peptic ulcer diseases and is a carcinogen responsible for the development of malignancies, including gastric cancer. In the current era of high antimicrobial resistance, rifabutin-based triple therapy is recommended as a salvage therapy. Bismuth has not only a strong bacteriostatic effect but also a synergic effect when combined with antibiotics.

In September 2023, Sweden experienced its first ever outbreak of African swine fever (ASF). One year later, in September 2024, Sweden was declared free from ASF. One of the first actions taken toward control and eradication was an intensive search for wild boar carcasses.

Background: The optimal duration for vonoprazan and amoxicillin dual therapy (VA-DT) remains unclear, and studies on gastric acid suppression of vonoprazan during eradication are still lacking.
Objective: This study conducted a multicenter, randomized controlled trial to compare the eradication efficacy between 10 and 14-day VA-DT, and to identify the dynamic changes of gastric pH during treatment.
Methods: This study included 418 naïve adult patients with Helicobacter pylori infection, who were randomly divided into 10 or 14-day VA-DT groups (vonoprazan 20 mg twice daily and amoxicillin 1000 mg thrice daily).

Bacterial infections and the associated inflammatory responses present significant challenges to public health, underscoring the need for innovative therapeutic strategies. In this study, novel carbon dots (QA-CDs) derived from quercetin (QU) and 4-aminophenol (4-AP) were synthesized using a one-step hydrothermal method. This approach merges the antimicrobial properties of phenolic compounds with the multifunctional advantages of carbon-based nanomaterials.
