Nowadays technics for Helicobacter pylori detection in stools like culture, and PCR, are expensive and difficult to perform. The aim of this study was to evaluate ELISA test efficacy for detection of H. Pylori antigens in stools comparing this results with standarized technics like histology (Giemsa), ureasa test and UBT C 14. 26 patients were evaluated in this study, ages between 15-75 with upper gastrointestinal symptoms; all of them required gastroduodenal endoscopy, status H. Pylori was determined with methods upon mentioned. 24 hours after endoscopy H. Pylori antigens in stools with the technique Premier Platinum Htsa, Elisa were determined. The detection of H. Pylori antigens in stools accurately identified active H. Pylori infection. The performance characteristics of this non-invasive method was similar in sensibility and specificity to conventional tests (AU)

RESUMO
Some papers report helicobacter pylori existence in bile from surgical specimens obtained during gallbladder or bile ducts surgery. The aim of this work was search by PCR, H. Pylori presence in bile specimens from patients suffering of gallbladder stones or by bile ducts stones. Bile samples were obtained by gallbladder punction during cholecystectomy in 26 patients, 19 of them with gallbladder stones and 7 also with gallbladder stones and bile duct stones. Age ranged from 22-69 years old, median 49.6 years old. Samples were sent to specialized biomolecular laboratory to perform PCR techniques. Two of 26 patients (7.6%) had positive reaction for the presence of DNA of H. Pylori in bile samples. Our research suggest that DNA of H. Pylori can be founded in bile samples patients with gallbladders and duct stones in Argentina.

Helicobacter pylori (HP) eradication reduces dramatically the peptic ulcer relapse rate, but information regarding recurrence of peptic ulcer bleeding after eradication is still scanty. Available data show rebleeding rates of 0-3% per year in successfully eradication patients, compared with figures between 12 and 33% among the non eradicated ones. The aim of this study was to determine the rebleeding rate among successfully eradicated patients with a prior history of rebleeding peptic ulcer. 42 patients (34 male, mean age 49, range 18-74) hospitalised for Hp positive bleeding peptic ulcer undergoing conservative treatment, were given as soon as oral route was re-established, a one-week eradication treatment, followed by the same proton pump inhibitor for three or five weeks for duodenal and gastric ulcer healing respectively. No maintenance antiulcer therapy was indicated. Patients were advised not to take nonsteroideal anti-inflammatory drug. Ulcer healing and Hp eradication was confirmed in all 42 patients by means of endoscopy and biopsies for urease rapid test and histology four weeks after completion of the treatment. After this patients were invited to enter a long-term follow-up program with periodical visits. End point of the study was occurrence of rebleeding. Further endoscopies were planned when rebleeding or symptomatic relapse. Median follow-up time was 24.02 months, ranging from 3 up to 27 months. All patients were compliant with the follow-up visits. None of the patients presented with symptoms suggestive of ulcer relapse or upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Our data suggest, that Hp eradication can prevent bleeding relapses in patients with Hp positive bleeding peptic ulcers.

The purpose of the present study was to characterize differences among dental phobic patients in past dental experience between residents of standard metropolitan areas (SMSA), and non-SMSA. Over a period of 1 year, the records of 41 dental phobic patients were evaluated. These patients were attending a special Israeli Defense Force clinic designed to treat dental phobics. The mean time since the last routine visit in both groups was 12.42 +/- 6.54 years and the mean age at which the patients had had their last routine dental treatment was 14.56 +/- 4.62 years. Over a two-year period prior to the present visit, the main reason for SMSA patients to seek any dental care was dental pain (P = 0.015). All other variables that compared the dental behavior of SMSA patients with non-SMSA patients showed no difference. The findings suggest that the availability of dentists in the SMSA did not increase the seeking of dental care. The fact that SMSA residents were more likely to seek care because of pain suggests that residents of non-SMSA areas were more likely to tolerate pain without seeking care. These findings underscore the need for proper behavioral and pain management during childhood.

El objetivo de este trabajo fue determinar la tasa de resangrado en pacientes con historia previa de ulcera péptica sangrante H.P. positiva. 42 pacientes hospitalizados por úlceras pépticas sangrante fueron sujetos a tratamiento convencional para el cese de sangrado. Se les efectuó luego taramiento de erradicación del H.P. con triple terapia a 7 días sin mantenimiento posterior. A 4 semanas en el caso de ulcera duodenal y a 6 semanas en casos de ulcera gástrica se comprobó por vía endoscópica e histológica la curación de la úlcera y la erradicación de la bacteria. Los 42 pacientes fueron incluidos en un estudio de seguimiento y al cumplirse 24,02 meses (rango 3-27 meses) no hubo recidiva de la hemorragia en ninguno de ellos. Estos datos sugieren que la erradicación de H.P. puede prevenir la recidiva de sangrado ulceroso en pacientes H.P. positivos.
