Abstract
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is an atopic disease in which eosinophils infiltrate the esophageal mucosa and may result in a variety of upper gastrointestinal symptoms. Chief among these are dysphagia, heartburn, and food bolus obstruction in adults whereas children often present with abdominal pain or vomiting. Eosinophilic esophagitis is a chronic condition that if not detected and left untreated could lead to the development of subepithelial fibrosis and esophageal stenosis. The diagnosis of EoE is confirmed in a patient presenting with characteristic EoE symptoms, classic signs on endoscopy, and biopsy results showing >15 eosinophils/hpf. A number of useful treatments against EoE are currently available with new therapeutics on the horizon. The former include PPIs, topical steroids, and elimination diet; the latter comprise novel biologics including the monoclonal antibody dupilumab. All these treatments can improve symptoms and reduce esophageal eosinophil count. This brief introductory review describes the detection, diagnosis, and management of EoE.

Abstract
Diagnosing the invasion depth of ulcerated early gastric cancer is usually inaccurate, especially for endoscopists in primary care clinics who are often not experts in this area. In reality, many patients with open ulcers who can be treated with endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) are referred for surgery. Materials and methods Twelve patients with ulcerated early gastric cancer who were treated with proton pump inhibitors, including vonoprazan, and underwent ESD were included in the study. Conventional endoscopic and narrow-band images were evaluated by five board-certified endoscopists (two physicians: A, B, and three gastrointestinal surgeons: C, D, and E). They assessed the invasion depth, and the results were compared with the pathologic diagnosis. Results The accuracy of the invasion depth diagnosis was 38.3%. According to the pretreatment diagnosis of invasion depth, gastrectomy was recommended for 41.7% (5/12) of the cases. However, histological examination revealed that additional gastrectomy was required in only one case (8.3%). Thus, in four out of five patients unnecessary gastrectomy could be avoided. Post-ESD mild melena occurred in only one case, and there was no case of perforation. Conclusion Antiacid treatment contributed to avoid unnecessary gastrectomy in four out of five patients for whom gastrectomy was indicated based on an inaccurate pretreatment diagnosis of the invasion depth.

Abstract
Purpose To study the association between proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use and the risk of urinary tract infection (UTI) caused by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL). Patients and Methods A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted between October 2018 and September 2019. Adults with ESBL-UTIs were compared to adults with UTIs caused by gram-negative bacteria (GNB) and those with UTIs caused by miscellaneous organisms. The association between ESBL infection and PPI use was assessed. Results A total of 117 of 277 ESBL cases, 229 of 679 non-ESBL GNB controls, and 57 of 144 non-ESBL miscellaneous controls were exposed to PPIs within 3 months prior to admission. The univariate analysis indicated unadjusted odds ratio for PPI exposure with ESBL infection versus the GNB controls was 1.43 (95% CI 1.07-1.90, P = 0.015) while the odds ratio for PPI exposure with ESBL infection versus miscellaneous organisms was 1.10 (95% CI 0.73-1.67, P = 0.633) indicating positive association (PPI exposure increases risk of ESBL infection). Multivariate analysis revealed a positive association between ESBL infection and PPI use versus the GNB controls with an odds ratio of 1.74 (95% CI 0.91-3.31). While Esomeprazole was positively associated with ESBL infection, particularly compared with the miscellaneous group (adjusted OR 1.35, 95% CI 0.47-3.88), Lansoprazole was inversely associated (adjusted OR 0.48, 95% CI 0.18-1.24 and adjusted OR 0.40, 95% CI 0.11-1.41 for ESBL versus GNB controls and ESBL versus miscellaneous organisms, respectively). Conclusion Exposure to PPIs in the preceding 3 months showed an association with increased risk of ESBL-UTI. While Esomeprazole showed a positive association, Lansoprazole had an inverse association for ESBL-UTI. Restricting the use of PPIs may be beneficial in the fight against antimicrobial resistance.

Abstract
Background and aims Bleeding is one of the common adverse events of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), which is mainly caused by endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST). At present, it remains unclear whether proton pump inhibitor (PPI) should be used to prevent post-EST bleeding. Therefore, we performed a randomized controlled trial to investigate whether PPI is effective in the prevention of post-EST delayed bleeding. Methods Consecutive eligible patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to experimental group (PPI group) or control group (normal saline, NS group). The patients in PPI group received intravenous esomeprazole 40 mg and normal saline 100 mL every 12 h for 2 days after ERCP immediately, and followed by oral esomeprazole (Nexium) 20 mg once a day for 7 days. Correspondingly, patients in the control group received intravenous normal saline 100 mL and did not take PPIs or any acid-suppressing drugs during hospitalization and after discharge. All patients were followed up for 30 days after ERCP. The primary endpoint was the incidence and severity of post-EST delayed bleeding. Results Between July 2020 and July 2022, 290 patients were randomly assigned to PPI group (n = 146) or NS group (n = 144). 5 patients from each group were excluded from the final analysis. There were 6 patients with post-EST delayed bleeding, with an incidence rate of 2.14%. The median time of delayed bleeding was 2.5 days after ERCP. 3 cases (2.12%, 3/141) occurred in the PPI group, with 1 case of mild and 2 cases of moderate bleeding. 3 cases (2.16%, 3/139) occurred in the NS group, with 2 cases of mild and 1 case of moderate bleeding. There was no significant difference in the incidence and the severity of post-EST delayed bleeding between the two groups (p = 1.000). Conclusion Prophylactic use of PPI after EST does not reduce the incidence and severity of post-EST delayed bleeding in patients.

Abstract
The global prevalence of GERD is substantially increasing each year, and GERD is a chronic disease that reduces the quality of life of patients. The efficacy of conventional drugs is diverse, and most require long-term or lifetime administration; thus, the development of more effective therapeutic agents is needed. Herein, a more effective treatment for GERD was tested. We investigated whether JP-1366 affected gastric H+/K+-ATPase activity and used the Na+/K+-ATPase assay to confirm the selectivity of H+/K+-ATPase inhibition. To clarify the mechanism of enzyme inhibition, JP-1366 and TAK-438 were analyzed by Lineweaver-Burk. Also, we investigated the effects of JP-1366 in various models involving reflux esophagitis. We found that JP-1366 mediates strong, selective, and dose-dependent inhibition of H+/K+-ATPase. We found that JP-1366 significantly suppressed gastric acid secretion in histamine-treated pylorus-ligated rats in a dose-dependent manner. Additionally, we confirmed that JP-1366 inhibited histamine-stimulated gastric acid secretion in the HPD model. JP-1366 exhibited a more than 2-fold higher inhibitory effect on esophageal injury than TAK-438 in GERD lesions and had a more potent inhibitory effect in indomethacin- or aspirin-induced gastric ulcer rat models than TAK-438. Additionally, JP-1366 inhibited gastric ulcers. These results support the possibility that JP-1366 is a good candidate drug for treating acid-related diseases.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Conflicting results exist on the association between proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)-related small-bowel damage. The aim of this study was to determine whether PPIs increased the risk of NSAID-related small-bowel damage by meta-analysis. METHODS A systematic electronic search in PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science was conducted from the time the database was created until March 31, 2022, for studies reporting associations between PPI use and outcomes, including the endoscopy-verified prevalence of small-bowel injury, mean number of small-bowel injuries per patient, change in hemoglobin level, and risk of small-bowel bleeding in subjects taking NSAIDs. Meta-analytical calculations for odds ratio (OR) and mean difference (MD) were performed with the random-effects model and interpreted with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS Fourteen studies comprising 1996 subjects were included. Pooled analysis demonstrated that concomitant use of PPIs significantly increased the prevalence and number of endoscopy-verified small-bowel injuries (prevalence: OR = 3.00; 95% CI: 1.74-5.16; number: MD = 2.30; 95% CI: 0.61-3.99) and decreased hemoglobin levels (MD = -0.50 g/dL; 95% CI: 0.88 to -0.12) in NSAID users but did not change the risk of small-bowel bleeding (OR = 1.24; 95% CI: 0.80-1.92). Subgroup analysis demonstrated that PPIs significantly increased the prevalence of small-bowel injury in subjects taking nonselective NSAIDs (OR = 7.05; 95% CI: 4.70-10.59, 4 studies, I 2 = 0) and COX-2 inhibitors (OR = 4.00; 95% CI: 1.18-13.60, 1 study, no calculated I 2 ) when compared with COX-2 inhibitors alone. DISCUSSION PPIs increased the risk of NSAID-related small-bowel damage, and the clinical significance of higher prevalence of small-bowel injuries should be studied in the future.

Abstract
Recent epidemiological studies suggested that proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use was associated with an increased risk of biliary tract cancer (BTC), however, confounders were not adequately controlled. Our study aimed to evaluate PPI use and subsequent risk of BTC and its subtypes in three well-established cohorts. We conducted a pooled analysis of the subjects free of cancers in UK Biobank (n = 463 643), Nurses' Health Study (NHS, n = 80 235) and NHS II (n = 95 869). Propensity score weighted Cox models were used to estimate marginal HRs of PPIs use on BTC risk, accounting for potential confounders. We documented 284 BTC cases in UK Biobank (median follow-up: 7.6 years), and 91 cases in NHS and NHS II cohorts (median follow-up: 15.8 years). In UK biobank, PPI users had a 96% higher risk of BTC compared to nonusers in crude model (HR 1.96, 95% CI 1.44-2.66), but the effect was attenuated to null after adjusting for potential confounders (HR 0.95, 95% CI 0.60-1.49). PPI use was not associated with risk of BTC in the pooled analysis of three cohorts (HR 0.93, 95% CI 0.60-1.43). We also observed no associations between PPI use with risk of intrahepatic (HR 1.00, 95% CI 0.49-2.04), extrahepatic bile duct (HR 1.09, 95% CI 0.52-2.27) and gallbladder cancers (HR 0.66, 95% CI 0.26-1.66) in UK Biobank. In summary, regular use of PPIs was not associated with the risk of BTC and its subtypes.

Abstract
Aim: To validate a 'drug score' that stratifies patients receiving immunotherapy based on concomitant medications (antibiotics/proton pump inhibitors/corticosteroids) in urothelial carcinoma (UC). Materials & methods: We assessed oncological outcomes according to the drug score in 242 patients with advanced UC treated with pembrolizumab. Results: The drug score classified patients into three risk groups with significantly different survivals. Heterogeneous treatment effect analyses showed that the primary cancer site (bladder UC [BUC] or upper-tract UC [UTUC]) significantly affected the prognostic capability of the drug score; it significantly correlated with survivals in BUC, while there were no such correlations in UTUC. Conclusion: A drug score was examined in advanced UC treated with pembrolizumab and was validated in BUC but not in UTUC.

Abstract
DISCLAIMER In an effort to expedite the publication of articles, AJHP is posting manuscripts online as soon as possible after acceptance. Accepted manuscripts have been peer-reviewed and copyedited, but are posted online before technical formatting and author proofing. These manuscripts are not the final version of record and will be replaced with the final article (formatted per AJHP style and proofed by the authors) at a later time. PURPOSE To describe the implementation of CYP2C19 testing into clinical practice at University of Florida (UF) Health hospital to guide proton pump inhibitor (PPI) dosing and the lessons learned from this experience. SUMMARY Different CYP2C19 genotypes are associated with variability in PPI plasma concentrations and intragastric pH, which may contribute to the risk of treatment failure due to subtherapeutic concentrations and adverse effects (eg, infection, bone fracture, renal dysfunction) with sustained supratherapeutic concentrations. Based on evidence available prior to the availability of pertinent Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) guidelines, the UF Health Precision Medicine Program (PMP) developed clinical recommendations, provided through automated alerts at the time of a PPI order, to (1) increase the PPI dose for individuals with genotypes linked to increased CYP2C19 enzyme activity (ie, rapid and ultrarapid metabolizers) to improve the likelihood of drug effectiveness and (2) decrease the dose for individuals with decreased CYP2C19 activity (ie, intermediate and poor metabolizers) to reduce the risk of harm. The CYP2C19-PPI implementation was an iterative process that taught us key implementation lessons. Most notably, physician engagement is essential, problem lists in the medical record are unreliable, and special populations (eg, pediatric patients) need to be considered. CONCLUSION Guiding PPI prescribing based on CYP2C19 genotype is a practical approach to potentially improve the benefit-risk ratio with PPI therapy. Physician engagement is key for successful implementation. A CPIC guideline on CYP2C19 genotype-guided PPI dosing is now available, and automated alerts may be instituted to facilitate implementation.

Abstract
Background Japanese guidelines recommend triple therapy with vonoprazan or a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) in combination with antibiotics to treat Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. While studies have shown improved eradication rates and reduced costs with vonoprazan versus PPIs, there is little data describing healthcare resource use (HCRU) and treatment patterns. Objectives To compare patients treated with a vonoprazan-based or PPI-based regimen for H. pylori infection in Japan in terms of their characteristics, HCRU, healthcare costs, clinical outcomes, and treatment patterns. Design Retrospective matched cohort. Methods We used data from the Japan Medical Data Center claims database (July 2014-January 2020) to identify adult patients with H. pylori infection and a first observed use of vonoprazan or a PPI in 2015 or later (index date). Patients prescribed a vonoprazan-based or a PPI-based regimen were matched 1:1 using propensity score matching. HCRU, healthcare costs, diagnostic tests, a proxy for H. pylori eradication (i.e. no triple therapy with amoxicillin in combination with metronidazole or clarithromycin >30 days after the index date), and second-line treatment were described during the 12-month follow-up period. Results Among 25,389 matched pairs, vonoprazan-treated patients had fewer all-cause and H. pylori-related inpatient stays and outpatient visits than PPI-treated patients, resulting in lower all-cause healthcare costs [185,378 Japanese yen (JPY) versus 230,876 JPY, p < 0.001]. Over 80% of patients received a post-treatment test for H. pylori. Fewer vonoprazan-treated than PPI-treated patients subsequently received an additional triple regimen for H. pylori infection (7.1% versus 20.0%, p < 0.001) or a prescription for vonoprazan or a PPI as monotherapy (12.4% versus 26.4%, p < 0.001) between 31 days and 12 months after the index date. Conclusion Patients with H. pylori infection who were treated with vonoprazan-based therapy had lower rates of subsequent H. pylori treatment, lower overall and H. pylori-related HCRU, and lower healthcare costs than patients treated with PPI-based therapy.

Abstract
Background Recent findings suggest that cirrhotic patients on proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are at a higher risk for developing spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) than non-PPI users. We aimed to identify whether PPI use is an independent risk factor for the development of SBP among cirrhotic patients in the United States (US). Methods We enrolled a retrospective cohort using a validated multicenter database. Patients with a SNOMED-CT diagnosis of "cirrhosis" between 1999 and 2022 were identified. All patients below 18 years of age were excluded. We calculated the prevalence of individuals using PPIs in the total US population and in cirrhotic patients from 1999 to date, and the incidence of SBP in the past year. Finally, we constructed a multivariate regression model, controlling for multiple covariates. Results The final analysis included 377,420 patients. The 20-year-period prevalence of SBP in patients with cirrhosis was 3.54% and the prevalence of patients using PPIs in the US population was 12,000 per 100,000 people (12.00%). The 1-year incidence of SBP in cirrhotic patients using PPIs was 2500 per 100,000 people. After accounting for confounders, the risk of SBP was higher among males, patients with a diagnosis of gastrointestinal bleeding, and those using β-blockers and PPIs. Conclusions To date, this is the largest cohort used to examine the prevalence of SBP among cirrhotic patients in the US. PPI use and hepatic encephalopathy offered the highest risk for the development of SBP, independently of gastrointestinal bleeding. Focusing on judicious PPI use should be encouraged among cirrhotic patients.

Abstract
Introduction Proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use is increasing in the general population. Chronic PPI use can lead to hypergastrinemia, which has been purported to increase the risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC). Several studies have failed to report any association between PPI use and the risk of CRC. However, little is known about the effect of PPI use on CRC survival. In this retrospective analysis, we studied the effect of PPI use on CRC survival in a racially diverse population. Methods Data were abstracted for 1050 consecutive patients diagnosed with CRC from January 2007 to December 2020. The Kaplan-Meier curve was created to study the effect of PPI exposure compared to no exposure on overall survival (OS). Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to investigate predictors of survival. Results Complete data were available for 750 patients with CRC, 52.5% were males, 22.7% were Whites, 60.1% were Asians, and 17.2% were Pacific Islanders. A total of 25.6% of patients had a history of PPI use. Moreover, 79.2% had hypertension, 68.8% had hyperlipidemia, 38.0% had diabetes mellitus, and 30.2% had kidney disease. There was no difference in median OS among PPI users compared to non-users, p value=0.4. Age, grade, and stage were predictors of inferior OS. No significant association was noticed with gender, race, comorbidities, or treatment with chemotherapy. Conclusion In this retrospective analysis of a racially diverse population of CRC patients, we found that PPI use was not associated with worse OS. Until high-quality prospective data are available, physicians should not stop PPIs that are clinically indicated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) is a common cause of hospital-acquired diarrhea. It is associated with significantly higher mortality and morbidity in addition to the cost-effectiveness burden on the healthcare system. The primary risk factors for C. difficile infection (CDI) are past C. difficile exposure, proton pump inhibitors, and antibiotic usage. These risk factors are also associated with poor prognosis. OBJECTIVE This study was performed in Dr. Sulaiman Al Habib Tertiary Hospital in the Eastern Region of Saudi Arabia. The aim was to evaluate the risk and prognostic factors of CDI and their association with the outcomes of hospital stay, such as complications, length of stay (LOS), and treatment duration. PATIENTS AND METHODS This is a retrospective cohort study for all patients who tested for C. difficile in the medical department. The target population was all adult patients ≥16 years with positive stool toxins for C. difficile between April 2019 and July 2022. The main outcome measures are risk and poor prognostic factors for CDI. RESULTS C. difficle infection patients were included in the study; 12 (52.2%) were female, and 11 (47.8%) were male. The mean age of the patients was 58.3 (SD: 21.5) years; 13 (56.5%) patients were below 65 years, and 10 were above 65 years. Only four patients were without comorbidities, and 19 (82.6%) patients had various comorbidities. Importantly, hypertension was the most common comorbidity in 47.8% of the patients. Furthermore, advanced age significantly impacted the hospital LOS as the mean age among patients who stayed at the hospital less than four days and those who stayed ≥4 days was 49.08 (19.7) and 68.36 (19.5), respectively (P = .028). CONCLUSION Advanced age was the most frequent poor prognostic factor among our inpatient participants with positive CDI. It was significantly associated with longer hospital LOS, more complications, and longer treatment duration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The pathogenesis for non-type 1/2 gastric neuroendocrine tumors (G-NETs) remains unclear. The aim of this study was to examine the clinicopathologic features of G-NETs and associated mucosal changes. METHODS The electronic health records of patients with non-type 1/2 G-NETs were reviewed. H&E slides were reviewed for pathologic features and mucosal changes. The t test and Fisher exact test were used for statistical analysis. RESULTS In total, 33 patients were assigned to either group 1 (n = 23) or group 2 (n = 10). Group 1 included patients with a history of proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use, increased gastrin levels, or significant PPI effect (PPI/gastrin-associated). All other patients were assigned to group 2. There was no significant difference in age and sex between the 2 groups. Group 2 tumors were more likely to be larger, invade deeper, and develop metastases (P < .05). Tumors in patients with cirrhosis tended to be larger. Peritumoral mucosal changes included loss of oxyntic glands, foveolar hyperplasia, and intestinal metaplasia. Background mucosa in group 1 patients showed PPI effect and neuroendocrine hyperplasia or dysplasia. CONCLUSIONS Although PPI/gastrin-associated non-type 1/2 G-NETs were smaller and more indolent than typical type 3 G-NETs, tumors in patients with cirrhosis tended to be larger. Additionally, peritumoral mucosal changes could mimic chronic atrophic gastritis.

Abstract
Critically ill patients are at risk of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. Counter measures to minimise this risk include the use of pharmacological stress ulcer prophylaxis (SUP). The effect of enteral nutrition as SUP on GI bleeding event rates is unknown. There are conflicting data describing the effect of co-administration of enteral nutrition with pharmacological SUP, and there is substantial variation in practice. We aim to conduct an exploratory post hoc analysis to evaluate the association of enteral nutrition with clinically important GI bleed rates in ICU patients included in the SUP-ICU trial, and to explore any interactions between enteral nutrition and pharmacologic SUP on patient outcomes. The SUP-ICU trial dataset will be used to assess if enteral nutrition is associated with the outcomes of interest. Extended Cox models will be used considering relevant competing events, including treatment allocation (SUP or placebo) and enteral nutrition as a daily time-varying covariate, with additional adjustment for severity of illness (SAPS II). Results will be presented as adjusted hazard ratios for treatment allocation and enteral nutrition, and for treatment allocation and enteral nutrition considering potential interactions with the other variable, all with 95% confidence intervals and p-values for the tests of interaction. All results will be considered as exploratory only. This post hoc analysis may yield important insights to guide practice and inform the design of future randomised clinical trial investigating the effect of enteral nutrition on GI bleeding.

Abstract
Introduction Contact granulomas (CGs) and intubation granulomas (IGs) are known to have different clinical manifestations despite having the same pathological features. Objective The purpose of the present study was to analyze the treatment results for CG and IG and to obtain clinical information. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients diagnosed with vocal process granuloma (VPG) between January 2015 and December 2018. The patient's age, sex, medical history, lesion size, lesion type, reflux finding score (RFS), response to treatment, duration of treatment, and follow-up period were compared. Results Eighteen patients with CG and 14 patients with IG were included in the study. The IG group had more female patients ( p = 0.0009), showed better response to proton pump inhibitor (PPI) and steroid inhalation (SI) ( p = 0.036), and had a shorter treatment period ( p = 0.0029) than the CG group. Five patients who received botulinum toxin injections in their vocal cords had complete remission. Conclusion Compared with CG, IG was more responsive to treatment with PPI and SI and required a shorter duration of treatment.

Abstract
GOALS The aim was to examine actual health care cost in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) who were initiated on proton pump inhibitor (PPI) or potassium-competitive acid blocker (P-CAB) as first-line therapy in Japanese real-world clinical settings. BACKGROUND To date, cost-utility evaluation of acid-suppressants treatment in Japan has only been conducted by model analysis. STUDY A cost utilization analysis was performed using a Japanese nationwide hospital-based claim database by extracting patients with GERD initiated on either PPI or P-CAB (242,102 pairs) and esomeprazole (EPZ) or P-CAB (241,825 pairs). Health care costs were compared in each comparison cohort with propensity-score matched pairs. The switching rates of initial acid-suppressants were also examined. RESULTS Baseline characteristics were well-balanced after matching. The 3-year mean cumulative GERD-related and hospitalization costs per patient were ¥142,620 and ¥122,444 in PPI-first and P-CAB-first treatment groups, and ¥105,263 and ¥121,958 in EPZ-first and P-CAB-first treatment groups, respectively. Most hospitalization costs were non-GERD related in all the groups. The switching rates of PPI to P-CAB and P-CAB to PPI in 12 months were 7.5% and 20.2%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS In this propensity-score matched analysis, health care cost was higher in patients with GERD initiated on PPI than in those initiated on P-CAB mainly owing to non-GERD-related hospitalization cost, whereas it was lower in those initiated on EPZ than in those initiated on P-CAB. When considering health care costs except hospitalization costs, PPI-first treatment was less expensive than P-CAB-first treatment. Low switching rate from PPI to P-CAB in the real-world practice may partially explain the discrepancy.

Abstract
Antiplatelet agents are used worldwide mainly for primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular events on a long-term basis for mortality benefit. Gastrointestinal bleeding is a well-known adverse effect. Various factors are to be considered while choosing antiplatelet agents to prevent the risk of bleed and rebleed incidents. These range from deciding on the agent, timing of therapy, underlying indications, coadministration of proton pump inhibitor, etc. At the same time, one must weigh the risks of cardiovascular events secondary to the stoppage of antiplatelet therapy. With this review, we have tried to guide the clinician on decision-making regarding the care of patients on management of acute upper and lower gastrointestinal bleeding, stoppage, restarting of agents, and measures to prevent a recurrence. We have focused on aspirin and clopidogrel as they are among the most widely used antiplatelet agents.

Abstract
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are widely prescribed in medical practice for the treatment of several gastrointestinal disorders. Previous epidemiology studies have reported the association between PPI use and the risk of AKI, although the magnitude of the association between PPIs and the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) remains uncertain. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis to determine the relationship between PPI therapy and the risk of AKI. We systematically searched for relevant articles published before January 2023 on PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. In addition, we conducted a manual search of the bibliographies of potential articles. Two independent reviewers examined the appropriateness of all studies for inclusion. We pooled studies that compared the risk of AKI with PPI against their control using a random effect model. The search criteria based on PRISMA guidelines yielded 568 articles. Twelve observational studies included 2,492,125 individuals. The pooled adjusted RR demonstrated a significant positive association between PPI therapy and the risk of AKI (adjusted RR 1.75, 95% CI: 1.40-2.19, p < 0.001), and it was consistent across subgroups. A visual presentation of the funnel plot and Egger's regression test showed no evidence of publication bias. Our meta-analysis indicated that persons using PPIs exhibited an increased risk of AKI. North American individuals had a higher risk of AKI compared to Asian and European individuals. However, the pooled effect from observational studies cannot clarify whether the observed association is a causal effect or the result of some unmeasured confounding factors. Hence, the biological mechanisms underlying this association are still unclear and require further research.

Abstract
AIM The efficacy of vonoprazan compared with that of proton pump inhibitors in clarithromycin-based bismuth-containing quadruple therapy has not been fully demonstrated. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of vonoprazan-based versus proton pump inhibitor-based bismuth-containing quadruple therapy. METHODS The records of patients in whom Helicobacter pylori was eradicated between July 1, 2018, and December 31, 2021 were retrieved retrospectively from outpatient units. Efficacy, safety, and compliance were compared between vonoprazan- and proton pump inhibitor-based bismuth-containing quadruple therapy (vonoprazan 20 mg or proton pump inhibitors [lansoprazole 30 mg or esomeprazole 20 mg], bismuth, amoxicillin 1000 mg, and clarithromycin 500 mg twice a day for 2 weeks) by 1:1 propensity score matching. RESULTS The eradication rates of vonoprazan- and proton pump inhibitor-based therapies were 88.8% (151/170) and 87.6% (149/170) in the intention-to-treat analysis, 94.1% (144/153) and 91.1% (144/158) in the per-protocol analysis, respectively. The non-inferiority of vonoprazan to proton pump inhibitors was confirmed in all analyses (P < 0.001). The incidence of adverse effects was 30.0% (51/170) and 27.1% (46/170) in the vonoprazan- and proton pump inhibitor-based groups, respectively Vonoprazan- and proton pump inhibitor-based therapies were well tolerated and showed good patient compliance without significant differences. CONCLUSION Vonoprazan-based therapy resulted in a satisfactory eradication rate and was well tolerated for Helicobacter pylori eradication. Vonoprazan is comparable to proton pump inhibitors in clarithromycin-based bismuth-containing quadruple therapy as a first-line treatment for Helicobacter pylori infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM The use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) has been repeatedly reported as a trigger of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI), a leading cause of nosocomial diarrhea. However, only a few studies have reported on the association between vonoprazan, a novel potassium-competitive acid blocker providing potent acid suppression, and CDI, with no studies having been conducted in a clinical setting. We therefore evaluated the association between various classes of acid suppressants and CDI with special attention paid to differences in the magnitudes of association between PPIs and vonoprazan. METHODS A retrospective hospital-based cohort from a secondary-care hospital in Japan (n = 25 821) was collected, wherein eligible CDI cases were defined as hospital-onset cases (n = 91). A multivariable adjusted logistic regression analysis for the entire cohort and propensity analyses for subgroups consisting of PPI and/or vonoprazan users at various doses (n = 10 306) were performed. RESULTS The overall CDI incidence rate was 1.42/10 000 patient-days, which was comparable with previous reports. A multivariable analysis showed that both PPIs and vonoprazan were positively associated with CDI (odds ratios [95% confidence intervals]: 3.15 [1.67-5.96] and 2.63 [1.01-6.88], respectively). In addition, matched subgroup analyses showed that PPIs and vonoprazan had equivalent magnitudes of association with CDI. CONCLUSIONS We found that both PPIs and vonoprazan were associated with CDI, and the magnitude of the association was comparable. Because vonoprazan is widely available in Asian countries, further studies on the association of its usage with CDI are warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Globus is a persistent or intermittent nonpainful sensation of a lump or foreign body, which markedly affect patient's quality of life. Treatment options for globus are limited and unsatisfying. This study aims to compare the effects of cognitive-behavioral-theory-based psychoeducation (CBT), neuromodulators (NMD), and proton pump inhibitor (PPI) on treatment outcomes in patients with globus. METHODS Eligible patients were randomly received CBT, 0.5 mg flupenthixol and 10 mg melitracen; NMD, or omeprazole 20 mg; PPI, for 4 weeks. The primary endpoint was the reduction in symptom scores; Glasgow Edinburgh Throat Scale (GETS). The secondary endpoints included treatment efficacy on Reflux Symptom Index (RSI), Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale (HADS), and quality of life (QoL) based on a 36-item short-form health survey (SF-36). Treatment compliance and adverse effects were recorded. KEY RESULTS Forty patients were completed study. Baseline characteristics between the groups were comparable. By the end of treatment, both CBT and NMD provided greater reduction in GETS than PPI (CBT vs PPI; 6.46 ± 8.56 vs 0.21 ± 5.42; p = 0.031, NMD vs PPI; 6.92 ± 9.85 vs 0.21 ± 5.42; p = 0.036). The improvement of RSI, HADS, and SF-36 among the groups was similar. Neuromodulators caused more adverse events. CONCLUSIONS & INFERENCES Both CBT and NMD provided equally effective treatment and better than PPI in patients with globus determined by the reduction in GETS. The improvement in RSI, HADS, and QoL of the three groups was not different. Given less of adverse effect than NMD, CBT should be considered as a substantial treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Some patients find it difficult to discontinue proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). Unlike the 13 C-urea breath test (UBT), the stool antigen test (SAT), particularly when domestically produced kits are used, may be less likely to yield false-negative results. METHODS This prospective study included a convenience series of 35 healthy Japanese subjects. Based on a statistical calculation, acceptable numbers of subjects were considered at least 21 and 11 with and without Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection, respectively. The H. pylori infection was determined using the UBT or rapid urease test. SATs were performed with three novel domestically produced kits (the rapid immunochromatography tests Quick Navi™-H. pylori [Navi™] and Quick Chaser® H. pylori [Chaser®], and the bioluminescent enzyme immunoassay test BLEIA® 'EIKEN' H. pylori Antigen [BLEIA®]) before and after oral PPI administration (30 mg lansoprazole once daily for 14 days). For each kit, the sensitivities and specificities were calculated and compared before and after PPI administration. Furthermore, the cutoff index (COI) values of BLEIA® before and after PPI administration were compared in H. pylori-infected subjects. RESULTS H. pylori infection was detected in 68.6% (24/35) of the included subjects. The sensitivities and specificities before versus after PPI administration were as follows: 79.2% (19/24) and 100.0% (11/11) versus 75.0% (18/24) and 100.0% (11/11) for Navi™, respectively (p = 1); 87.5% (21/24) and 100.0% (11/11) versus 75.0% (18/24) and 100.0% (11/11) for Chaser®, respectively (p = .371); 100.0% (24/24) and 100.0% (11/11) versus 95.8% (23/24) and 100.0% (11/11) for BLEIA®, respectively (p = 1). The median COI values of BLEIA® before and after PPI administration were 1389.0 and 3207.25, respectively (p = .0839). CONCLUSIONS In stool specimens, H. pylori antigenicity is maintained even during PPI use. SAT using a bioluminescent enzyme immunoassay is particularly recommended because of its extremely high sensitivity.

Abstract
The incidence and prevalence of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) are increasing in adults and children worldwide. Once thought primarily to affect children and young adults, EoE is now recognized in all age groups. To our knowledge, this case study is the first known report of EoE diagnosed in an elderly man in Saudi Arabia. The 75-year-old patient presented with a chief complaint of dry mouth and mild heartburn symptoms. Further history inquiry disclosed that he experienced dysphagia occasionally. His endoscopy findings revealed signs associated with EoE, which was confirmed by biopsy showing marked infiltration of eosinophils (>30/hpf) in upper and lower esophagus. Following treatment with dexlansoprazole for eight weeks, the patient reported no further symptoms, and he remained in remission three months thereafter. Elderly patients with EoE may display atypical signs and symptoms and rarely have concomitant allergy; EoE should be considered in older patients especially those with dysphagia.

Abstract
Background There are concerns about inappropriate use and insufficient knowledge of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) use among medical staff. Aims This study was designed to examine pharmacy students' and community pharmacists' knowledge, attitude, and practices toward PPIs and their relationship with specific sociodemographic characteristics. Subjects and Methods This descriptive study was conducted on the pharmacy students (first and last year) at Eastern Mediterranean University and community pharmacists in North Cyprus Data were collected by a validated questionnaire, which assessed knowledge, attitude, and practices regarding PPI use. Students were included without sampling in a volunteer-based manner. Registered community pharmacists were selected randomly. Results First-year pharmacy students (n = 77) showed significantly lower knowledge levels than last-year students (12.00 vs. 13.65; P < 0.001); however, there was no significant difference between last-year students (n = 111) and community pharmacists (n = 59). First-year pharmacy students were significantly less aware of PPIs' "dosage and administration" than the other two groups. Last-year students and community pharmacists exhibited significantly higher attitude scores regarding PPI use (24.7 and 24.6 vs. 22.7; P < 0.001). Omeprazole was found to be the most preferred PPI among the three studied populations. Community pharmacists used PPIs mainly to treat acid reflux. Gender, nationality, and pharmacy education program type did not influence pharmacy students' knowledge, attitude, or practices. Conclusions There was not a significant difference regarding knowledge and attitude between the last-year pharmacy students and community pharmacists. The practices of community pharmacists were significantly different from the pharmacy students. It was concluded that certain essential topics regarding PPI use should be emphasized in pharmacy education and during pharmacy practice. Further, it is essentially important for community pharmacists to continue their education through training programs after graduation to enhance their knowledge of PPI use.

Abstract
Introduction Development of abomasal ulceration is a large concern, especially within calves; however, there is a paucity of research into the use of gastro protectants in ruminant species. Proton pump inhibitors, such as pantoprazole, are widely used in humans and companion animals. Their efficacy in ruminant species is undetermined. The objectives of this study were to 1) estimate the plasma pharmacokinetic parameters for pantoprazole in neonatal calves after three days of intravenous (IV) or subcutaneous (SC) administration, and 2) measure the effect pantoprazole had on abomasal pH over the treatment period. Methods Pantoprazole was administered to 6 Holstein-Angus cross bull calves at a dose of 1 mg/kg (IV) or 2 mg/kg (SC), once a day (every 24 h) for three days. Plasma samples were collected over a 72 h period and analyzed via HPLC-UV for determining pantoprazole concentrations. Pharmacokinetic parameters were derived via non-compartmental analysis. Abomasal (n= 8) samples were collected via abomasal cannulas over a 12 h period, per calf per day. Abomasal pH was determined via a bench top pH analyzer. Results Following Day 1 of IV administration, plasma clearance, elimination half-life, and volume of distribution of pantoprazole were estimated at 199.9 mL/kg/h, 1.44 h, and 0.51 L/kg, respectively. On Day 3 of IV administration, the reported values were 192.9 mL/kg/h, 2.52 h, and 1.80 L/kg mL, respectively. Elimination half-life and volume of distribution (V/F) of pantoprazole following SC administration were estimated at 1.81 h and 0.55 L/kg, respectively, on Day 1; and 2.99 h and 2.82 L/kg, respectively, on Day 3. Discussion The reported values for IV administration were similar to those previously reported in calves. SC administration appears to be well absorbed and tolerated. The sulfone metabolite was detectable for 36 h after the last administration for both routes. Abomasal pH was significantly higher than the pre-pantoprazole pH 4, 6, and 8 h after administration in both the IV and SC groups. Further studies of pantoprazole as a treatment/preventative for abomasal ulcers are warranted.

Abstract
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are commonly prescribed medications associated with changes in the gut microbiome and dysbiosis when used long-term. Probiotics, such as Enterogermina® (containing four strains of Bacillus clausii) reduce side effects from triple therapy with PPI+antibiotics. We aim to assess the ability of this probiotic in preventing and/or treating the dysbiosis induced by PPI use. Faecal samples from six healthy donors were used to colonise a Triple-Mucosal-Simulator of the Human Intestinal Microbial Ecosystem® model with added ileal compartment. Changes in the microbial community composition and metabolite production were measured for PPI alone (control), PPI+Enterogermina (preventative), and Enterogermina treatment after PPI (curative). Differences were assessed by one-way ANOVA with Tukey's multiple comparisons test. The model was shown to replicate some of the effects of long-term PPI use. There were significant changes in microbial diversity and an increase in butyrate levels in the preventative and curative arms, indicative of a beneficial effect to gut health. Probiotic use countered some of the effects of PPI use: Streptococcus bovis levels increased in the control arm but reduced following probiotic treatment. These results show that probiotic treatment with B. clausii may have beneficial effects on the gut microbiota following PPI treatment.

Abstract
A 77-year-old man presented with abdominal pain for 1 week. He was taking enteric-coated low-dose aspirin (LDA) to prevent secondary cardiovascular events and a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). Computed tomography indicated a small intestinal perforation; thus, small intestine resection was performed. Two months after surgery, he experienced a recurrence of the perforation. Since his repeated perforation was suspected to be due to LDA, LDA was discontinued. He has experienced no further recurrence since then. This is the first case of small intestinal perforation caused by enteric-coated LDA. Enteric-coated LDA may cause small intestinal perforation in patients with severe atherosclerosis under PPI administration.

Abstract
The aims of this study were to analyze proton pump inhibitor (PPI) users in Germany, defining and classifying them in terms of treatment appropriateness, and to analyze the PPI prescription practices of healthcare providers. The updated DGVS (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Gastroenterologie, Verdauungs-und Stoffwechselkrankheiten) gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) treatment guideline (published March 2023) for mild heartburn symptoms recommends carrying out a probatory treatment of mild symptoms via other medication such as antacids, alginates, and H2 blockers before escalating to PPI treatments, if the patient profile allows. This retrospective cross-sectional study was based on data from the IQVIA™ Disease Analyzer database (DA) and included adult patients (18 years or older) in 1006 general and 39 gastroenterological practices in Germany who received at least 1 PPI prescription or alginate between September 2019 and September 2021 (hereinafter referred to as the index period). Analyses included indications associated with PPI prescription, co-diagnoses, co-therapies of PPI patients, duration of PPI therapy, dosages of PPI prescriptions, and proportions of practices prescribing PPIs and alginates. A total of 472 146 patients taking PPIs and 9101 patients taking alginates were available for analysis. Very few patients (4.5%) of the total cohort were treated in complete adherence to treatment guidelines. Conditions such as gastritis and duodenitis (47.2%) and reflux diseases (38.4%) were more frequently associated with PPI prescriptions. The average PPI treatment period lasted 141 days, and 36.6% of patients were treated for >6 months. High doses were prescribed relatively often (ie, 42.8% of esomeprazole prescriptions were 40 mg, 59.1% of lansoprazole prescriptions 30 mg, 28.6% of omeprazole prescriptions 40 mg). With each practice prescribing PPIs to at least 10% of their patients; 72% of general practitioners (GPs) and 8% of GENTS (Gastroenterologists) prescribed alginates. This study highlights that discrepancies exist between clinical guidelines and real-life prescribing practices of PPIs in Germany. Particular attention should be given to the incidence of patients being prescribed high-dose or long-duration PPI with mild indications. These findings are particularly apt considering the publication (March 2023) of new guidelines on the "management of gastroesophageal reflux disease and eosinophilic esophagitis," by the DGVS.

Abstract
Background Vonoprazan, a novel acid-suppressive drug, is non-inferior to proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) for the management of gastric acid-related diseases. However, the safety of vonoprazan has not been systematically evaluated yet. Objectives To elucidate the incidence and type of adverse events (AEs) in patients taking vonoprazan. Design Systematic review and meta-analysis. Data sources and methods PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases were searched for all studies reporting the safety of vonoprazan. The incidences of any AEs, drug-related AEs, serious AEs, AEs leading to drug discontinuation, and common AEs were pooled. Odds ratios (ORs) were calculated to compare the incidence of AEs between patients taking vonoprazan and PPIs. Results Seventy-seven studies were included. The pooled incidences of any AEs, drug-related AEs, serious AEs, and AEs leading to drug discontinuation were 20, 7, 1, and 1%, respectively. The incidences of any AEs (OR = 0.96, p = 0.66), drug-related AEs (OR = 1.10, p = 0.44), serious AEs (OR = 1.14, p = 0.36), and AEs leading to drug discontinuation (OR = 1.09, p = 0.55) were not significantly different between patients taking vonoprazan and PPIs. In subgroup analyses, patients with peptic ulcer disease (PUD) had higher incidences of any AEs, serious AEs, and AEs leading to drug discontinuation than those with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection, and artificial ulcer after gastric endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), but patients with H. pylori infection had a higher incidence of drug-related AEs than those with PUD, GERD, and artificial ulcer after gastric ESD. The incidence of AEs was higher in patients taking long-term use of vonoprazan than those taking short-term use of vonoprazan. Conclusion Vonoprazan is well tolerated and shows similar safety compared to PPIs. The safety of vonoprazan may be primarily influenced by its indications and duration.

Abstract
Eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases are delayed-type chronic allergic disorders that show gastrointestinal eosinophil dense infiltration, with an exaggerated Th2-type immune reaction considered to be an important mechanism. These diseases can be roughly divided into two types: eosinophilic esophagitis, mainly found in young and middle-aged men, and eosinophilic gastroenteritis, which is found in both genders equally. A diagnosis of eosinophilic esophagitis is suspected when characteristic endoscopic findings, including longitudinal furrows and rings, are noted. However, characteristic endoscopic abnormalities are rarely found in cases with eosinophilic gastroenteritis, so multiple biopsy sampling from the apparently normal gastrointestinal mucosal surface is important for making an accurate diagnosis. The administration of systemic glucocorticoid is the standard treatment for eosinophilic gastroenteritis, while acid inhibitors and topical glucocorticoid swallowing therapy are effective for eosinophilic esophagitis. Anti-cytokine therapies for eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases are currently under development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The comparative efficacy and safety of medical therapies for gastro-esophageal reflux symptoms in endoscopy-negative reflux disease is unclear. We conducted a network meta-analysis to evaluate efficacy and safety of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), histamine-2-receptor antagonists, potassium-competitive acid blockers (PCABs), and alginates in patients with endoscopy-negative reflux disease. METHODS We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, EMBASE Classic, and the Cochrane central register of controlled trials from inception to February 1, 2022. We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing efficacy of all drugs versus each other, or versus a placebo, in adults with endoscopy-negative reflux disease. Results were reported as pooled relative risks with 95% confidence intervals to summarize effect of each comparison tested, with treatments ranked according to P-score. KEY RESULTS We identified 23 RCTs containing 10,735 subjects with endoscopy-negative reflux disease. Based on failure to achieve complete relief of symptoms between ≥2 and <4 weeks, omeprazole 20 mg o.d. (P-score 0.94) ranked first, with esomeprazole 20 mg o.d. or 40 mg o.d. ranked second and third. In achieving adequate relief, only rabeprazole 10 mg o.d. was significantly more efficacious than placebo. For failure to achieve complete relief at ≥4 weeks, dexlansoprazole 30 mg o.d. (P-score 0.95) ranked first, with 30 ml alginate q.i.d. combined with omeprazole 20 mg o.d., and 30 ml alginate t.i.d. second and third. In terms of failure to achieve adequate relief at ≥4 weeks, dexlansoprazole 60 mg o.d. ranked first (P-score 0.90), with dexlansoprazole 30 mg o.d. and rabeprazole 20 mg o.d. second and third. All drugs were safe and well-tolerated. CONCLUSIONS & INFERENCES Our results confirm superiority of PPIs compared with most other drugs in treating endoscopy-negative reflux disease. Future RCTs should aim to better classify patients with endoscopy-negative reflux disease, and to establish the role of alginates and PCABs in achieving symptom relief in both the short- and long-term.

Abstract
Background and aim Proton pump inhibitor (PPI) is a heavily prescribed medication in the United States that is used to treat several gastrointestinal disorders. Although it has been considered to be safe compared to other medications, multiple gastrointestinal side effects have been reported. These effects of PPIs might stem from the progressive alteration of the intestinal microbiome. Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) using PPI are also seen to be less likely to achieve remission. However, in the current literature, there is very little evidence of the risk of developing IBD in patients who have been using PPIs. Therefore, our aim was to perform a cross-sectional population-based study with in-depth analysis to assess the prevalence and risk factors of IBD amongst PPI users in the United States. Methodology A validated multicenter and research platform database of more than 360 hospitals from 26 different healthcare systems across the United States was utilized to construct this study. A cohort of patients with a diagnosis of ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) between 1999-2022 was identified using the Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine-Clinical Terms (SNOMED-CT). Patients aged 18 to 65 years were included. We excluded any individual who had a diagnosis of chronic liver disease, autoimmune disease (excluding IBD), or cancer. The risk of IBD was calculated using a multivariate regression analysis to account for potential confounders including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) use, smoking, patients who have had a diagnosis of alcoholism, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and metabolic syndrome. A two-sided P-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant, and all statistical analyses were performed using R version 4.0.2 (R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria, 2008). Results A total of 79,984,328 individuals were screened in the database and 45,586,150 patients were selected in the final analysis after accounting for inclusion and exclusion criteria. Using multivariate regression analysis, the risk of developing UC and CD was calculated. The odds of having UC amongst patients on PPI was 2.02 (95%CI 1.98-2.06), P-value <0.001. Similarly, the odds of having CD were high amongst PPI users (OR 2.79, 95%CI 2.75-2.84), P- value <0.001 Conclusion Our study demonstrates that patients on PPIs are frequently found to have UC and CD even when adjusting for common risk factors. Hence, we urge clinicians to be aware of this association in order to limit unnecessary prescriptions of PPIs, especially for patients who are at risk for autoimmune diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The optimal management of naïve and not naïve Helicobacter pylori patients remains unclear. Therefore, it is essential to evaluate whether the actual clinical practice mirrors the indications suggested by the guidelines. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness and the safety of the empirical first- and second-line treatments prescribed to patients enroled at Italian centres participating in the European Registry on H. pylori Management (Hp-EuReg). METHODS The Hp-EuReg is an international multicentre prospective non-interventional registry starting in 2013 aiming to evaluate the management of H. pylori infection by European gastroenterologists. Patients were registered in an e-CRF by AEG-REDCap. Variables assessed included demographics, previous eradication attempts, treatment regimen, effectiveness, and tolerance. RESULTS Overall, 3723 patients from 2013 to February 2021 were included: 2996 and 727 received an empirical first- and second-line treatment, respectively. According to the modified ITT analysis, among the first-line regimens, only the bismuth quadruple therapy with three-in-one-single capsule (BQT-TSC), the concomitant, and the sequential treatment - all lasting 10 days - achieved an eradication rate >90%. Among the second-line regimens, only the 10-day BQT-TSC reported an effectiveness >90%. High-dose PPI twice daily also significantly increased the effectiveness of some therapies. The BQT-TSC was the regimen with the highest incidence of adverse events. CONCLUSIONS Only quadruple therapies lasting at least 10 days achieved over 90% eradication rates among the empirical first- and second-line regimens. It remains unclear whether high-dose PPI twice daily can improve the efficacy of quadruple treatment.

Abstract
Chen et al. have published a report in this journal comparing the prognostic impact of a Histamine-2-receptor antagonist (H2RA) and a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) in patients with chronic renal disease. Based on Taiwan's National Insurance Database, they concluded that those patients treated with the H2RA demonstrated a dose-response relationship of H2RA to reduced risk of ESRD and overall cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular mortality. In contrast, the CKD patients treated with the PPI were associated with an increased risk of overall mortality. However, from our point of view, there are some methodological and research concerns that need to be clarified by the authors. Otherwise, it would be too early to make a convincing conclusion.

Abstract
Background Stressed and hospitalized goats are at risk of developing abomasal (gastric) ulceration, but there is a paucity of pharmacokinetic studies for proton pump inhibiting drugs, such as, esomeprazole in goats. Objectives The objectives for this study were to estimate plasma pharmacokinetic parameters for esomeprazole in adult goats after intravenous (IV) and subcutaneous (SQ) administration. A secondary objective was to describe the plasma kinetics of the metabolite esomeprazole sulfone after IV and SC administration in goats. Materials and methods Esomeprazole was administered to 5 adult goats in a crossover study at doses of 1 mg/kg IV or 2 mg/kg SC. Plasma samples were collected over 36 h and analyzed via reverse phase HPLC to determine concentrations of esomeprazole and esomeprazole sulfone. Pharmacokinetic parameters were derived via non-compartmental analysis. Results Following IV administration, mean values for plasma clearance (Cl), elimination half-life [T1/2 (λz)], C0, and volume of distribution (V z ) of esomeprazole were estimated at 24.9 mL/min/kg, 6 min, 2.324 μg/mL, and 0.23 L/kg, respectively. After SC administration elimination half-life, maximum concentration (Cmax) and time to maximum concentration (Tmax) of esomeprazole were estimated at 29 min, 1.038 μg/mL, and 22 minutes respectively. Maximum concentrations of the sulfone metabolite were 32 and 18 ng/mL after IV and SC administration. Conclusion Esomeprazole was rapidly eliminated from plasma after both IV and SC injection in goats. The elimination half-life in goats appears to be shorter than reported in dogs, as well as less than that reported for pantoprazole in goats. The sulfone metabolite was detected and also rapidly eliminated from the plasma after both IV and SC administration. Additional pharmacodynamic investigations are needed to determine the efficacy of esomeprazole on abomasal (gastric) acid suppression in goats and could include larger doses or additional routes of administration.

Abstract
Background: Firm conclusions about whether long-term proton pump inhibitor (PPI) drug use impacts female cancer risk remain controversial. Objective: We aimed to investigate the associations between PPI use and female cancer risks. Methods: A nationwide population-based, nested case-control study was conducted within Taiwan’s Health and Welfare Data Science Center’s databases (2000−2016) and linked to pathologically confirmed cancer data from the Taiwan Cancer Registry (1979−2016). Individuals without any cancer diagnosis during the 17 years of the study served as controls. Case and control patients were matched 1:4 based on age, gender, and visit date. Conditional logistic regression with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) was applied to investigate the association between PPI exposure and female cancer risks by adjusting for potential confounders such as the Charlson comorbidity index and medication usage (metformin, aspirin, and statins). Results: A total of 233,173 female cancer cases were identified, consisting of 135,437 diagnosed with breast cancer, 64,382 with cervical cancer, 19,580 with endometrial cancer, and 13,774 with ovarian cancer. After matching each case with four controls, we included 932,692 control female patients. The number of controls for patients with breast cancer, cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, and ovarian cancer was 541,748, 257,528, 78,320, and 55,096, respectively. The use of PPIs was significantly associated with reduced risk of breast cancer and ovarian cancer in groups aged 20−39 years (adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 0.69, 95%CI: 0.56−0.84; p < 0.001 and aOR: 0.58, 95%CI: 0.34−0.99; p < 0.05, respectively) and 40−64 years (aOR: 0.89, 95%CI: 0.86−0.94; p < 0.0001 and aOR: 0.87, 95%CI: 0.75−0.99; p < 0.05, respectively). PPI exposure was associated with a significant decrease in cervical and endometrial cancer risks in the group aged 40−64 years (with aOR: 0.79, 95%CI: 0.73−0.86; p < 0.0001 and aOR: 0.72, 95%CI: 0.65−0.81; p < 0.0001, respectively). In contrast, in elderly women, PPI use was found to be insignificantly associated with female cancers among users. Conclusions: Our findings, based on real-world big data, can depict a comprehensive overview of PPI usage and female cancer risk. Further clinical studies are needed to elucidate the effects of PPIs on female cancers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to systematically analyze the association between long-term use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and the risk of gastric cancer (GC). METHODS We performed a systematic search of articles on the relationship between long-term use of PPIs and the risk of GC from PubMed and EMBASE. We calculated the pooled odds ratio of GC in PPI users compared to non-PPI users using random-effects models. RESULTS This meta-analysis included 18 studies from 20 different databases with 4348,905 patients enrolled. In the random effects model, we found that an increased risk of GC among PPI users (OR = 1.94; 95% CI [1.43, 2.64]). The long-term use of PPIs compared with histamine-2 receptor antagonist users did not increase the risk of GC (OR = 1.65; 95% CI [0.92, 2.97]). Stratified analysis showed that PPI users had a significantly increased risk of noncardia GC (OR = 2.53; 95% CI [2.03, 3.15]), but had a relatively small relationship with the risk of gastric cardia cancer. (OR = 1.79; 95% CI [1.06, 3.03]). With the extension of PPI use time, the estimated risk value decreases (<1 year: OR = 6.33, 95% CI [3.76, 10.65]; 1-3 years: OR = 1.82, 95% CI [1.30, 2.55]; >3 years: OR = 1.25, 95% CI [1.00, 1.56]). Despite Helicobacter pylori eradication, the long-term use of PPIs did not alter the increased risk of GC (OR = 2.29; 95% CI [1.57, 3.33]). CONCLUSION Our meta-analysis found that PPI use may be associated with an increased risk of GC. Further research on the causal relationship between these factors is necessary.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Long-term acid suppression during vonoprazan therapy causes hypergastrinemia which may induce gastric mucosal changes such as fundic gland and hyperplastic polyps. The aim of this study is to clarify the long-term changes in serum gastrin levels and risk factors for hypergastrinemia. METHODS From July 2016 to April 2020, 48 patients receiving vonoprazan 10 mg once daily for more than one year were reviewed. Serum gastrin level was evaluated by radioimmunoassay in a fasting condition (reference range 37-172 pg/ml). RESULTS The baseline median gastrin level was 100 (range, 54-415) pg/ml. The gastrin level over 4 years was 700-1200 pg/ml, which plateaued at 1.5 years. Multivariate analysis revealed factors associated with gastrin levels 12 months after starting vonoprazan and identified severe gastric atrophy as a significant positive risk factor (p = .046). The gastrin level over 4 years in patients with severe gastric atrophy and no atrophy was approximately 900-1500 and 500-1000 pg/ml, respectively. Female gender was also identified as a positive factor, although it was not statistically significant (p = .087). The gastrin level over 4 years in females was approximately 900-1300 pg/ml, greater than in males (500-900 pg/ml). CONCLUSION A continued increase in gastrin levels was not found during long-term vonoprazan therapy. Severe gastric atrophy is a significant risk factor for hypergastrinemia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Potassium-competitive acid blocker (PCAB) is a recent alternative to proton pump inhibitor (PPI) for potent acid suppression. The current systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of PCAB versus PPI in treating gastric acid-related diseases. METHODS We searched up to June 5, 2022, for randomized controlled trials of gastric acid-related diseases that included erosive esophagitis, symptomatic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and Helicobacter pylori infection. The pooled risk ratio (RR) was evaluated for the efficacy outcome and treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) as the safety outcome. Sensitivity analyses were performed to test the robustness of the study findings. RESULTS Of the 710 screened studies, 19 studies including 7023 participants were analyzed. The RRs for the healing of erosive esophagitis with Vonoprazan versus PPI were 1.09 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.03-1.14), 1.03 (95% CI 1.00-1.07), and 1.02 (95% CI 1.00-1.05) in Weeks 2, 4, and 8, respectively. There were no differences in the improvement of GERD symptoms and healing of gastric and duodenal ulcers between PCAB and PPI. The pooled eradication rates of H. pylori were significantly higher in Vonoprazan versus PPI first-line treatment (RR 1.13; 95% CI 1.04-1.22). The overall RR of TEAEs with Vonoprazan versus PPI was 1.08 (95% CI 0.89-1.31). Overall, the risk of bias was low to some concerns. Furthermore, sensitivity analyses confirmed the robustness of the study's conclusion. CONCLUSION Vonoprazan is superior to PPI in first-line H. pylori eradication and erosive esophagitis but non-inferior in other gastric acid-related diseases. Likewise, short-term safety is comparable in both treatment groups.

Abstract
Background In this study, we aimed to assess the effectiveness of omeprazole therapy in the management of acid peptic disease (APD) among type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. Methodology In this multicenter retrospective study, electronic medical records (EMRs) of T2DM patients with APD who were prescribed omeprazole between March 2018 and April 2021 at multiple Indian healthcare settings were reviewed. The resolution of APD symptoms was assessed at visit five (120 days after the index visit) and compared to visit one (index visit). Safety was established in terms of reported adverse events during the study period. Results Overall, 174 patients were included. The majority of patients (63.8%) were males with a mean age of 48.6 ± 11.03 years. After receiving omeprazole therapy, a significant number of patients reported improvement in symptoms such as abdominal pain (98.2%), epigastric burning (74.2%), altered bowel movements (62.1%), and nausea (80.5%) (p < 0.001 for each). Complete resolution was observed in all patients who complained about flatulence (100.0%) and loss of appetite (100.0%) (p < 0.001 for each). The drug was found to be well tolerated. Conclusions Omeprazole therapy was well tolerated and highly effective in resolving APD symptoms among T2DM patients receiving fixed oral hypoglycemic agents.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES A comparative dissolution kinetics test (CDKT) and bioequivalence studies of generic proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) do not model pharmacological acid suppression (PAS) and pathological duodenogastric reflux (PDGR). This study aimed to model them in CDKT to assess drugs stability and potential pantoprazole-clarithromycin interactions. METHODS In CDKT, PDGR (dissolution medium pH 7.00 ± 0.05, preexposure at pH 1.20 ± 0.05) and PAS (pH 4.00 ± 0.05) were modelled for original pantoprazole (OP) and its generics (GP1-4). In CDKT with high-performance liquid chromatography, dissolution gastric medium in adequate (pH 4.00 ± 0.05) and inadequate (pH 1.20 ± 0.05) PAS were modelled for original clarithromycin (OC) and its generics (GC1-4). RESULTS After exposure in pH 7.00 ± 0.05, pantoprazole was released from GP1 within 10 min in the amount of 68.8%. In рН 4.00 ± 0.05, 83.0% and 81.5% of pantoprazole were released from GP1 and GP4. When OP, GP2 and GP3 were placed in pH 7.00 ± 0.05, pantoprazole was released in amount: 99.4%, 88.0% and 98.2%. Clarithromycin releasing from OC, GC1, GC2, GC3, GC4 in pH 4.00 ± 0.05 was 93.5%, 91.6%, 92.9%, 79.4% and 83.0%. In pH 1.20 ± 0.05: 9.7%, 6.7%, 8.5%, 33.3%, 28.8%. CONCLUSIONS Destruction of enteric coats of some local pantoprazole generics in CDKT-models might be a potential factor for inadequate therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are extensively prescribed but may cause photosensitivity and drug-induced lupus erythematosus (DILE), which can be overlooked as the drug may have been taken for years prior to presentation. METHODS We reviewed the clinical and investigation findings of patients diagnosed with PPI-induced photosensitivity, diagnosed through the Scottish Photobiology Service. RESULTS We report 11 patients with median age of onset 61-years and mean duration of PPI ingestion of 5-years [DILE (n = 6), phototoxicity (n = 3) and drug-induced solar urticaria through a lupus mechanism (n = 2)]. Five had Anti-Ro antibodies (three also ANA positive). Predominantly UVA and visible light photosensitivity was observed on phototesting. DISCUSSION PPIs are a reversible cause of photosensitivity and DILE. Time to onset from drug initiation to symptoms can be prolonged, so clinicians should have a high index of suspicion in those taking PPIs. Most are diagnosed through clinical assessment and lupus serology, with phototesting indicated if there is diagnostic uncertainty.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the safety and efficacy of high-dose amoxicillin-proton pump inhibitor dual therapy, and to provide a new eradication regimen as a first-line option for patients with H. pylori infection. METHODS A total of 971 H. pylori positive patients who received initial treatment were recruited from March to August 2020, and randomly divided into treatment group and control group. The treatment group received of 20 mg esomeprazole four times daily and 750 mg amoxicillin four times daily for 14 days. Control group received of 220 mg bismuth potassium citrate twice daily, 20 mg esomeprazole twice daily, 1000 mg amoxicillin twice daily and 250 mg clarithromycin capsule twice daily for 14 days. Four weeks after the end of treatment, the urea breath test was reviewed to detect whether H. pylori was eradicated. RESULTS There were no statistical differences in age, gender, the total clinical symptom scores before and after initial treatment, the compliance, and the degree of remission of symptoms before and after initial treatment between the two groups. The eradication rates of H. pylori between dual therapy and quadruple therapy were 88.31% and 85.26% (p=.158) by intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis, 88.66% and 85.44% (p=.186) by modified intention-to-treat (mITT) analysis, and 91.63% and 90.60% (p=.116) by PP analysis, respectively. Adverse events in dual therapy group were significantly lower than quadruple therapy group (13.3% vs. 28.2% (p<.01)). CONCLUSIONS For the initial treatment of H. pylori infection, the high-dose dual therapy regimen has the same efficacy as the bismuth-containing quadruple therapy regimen, good compliance, less adverse reactions and high safety, so it can be recommended as the empirical first-line treatment regimen for the eradication of H. pylori (KY2019173).

Abstract
(1) Background: Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a common complication in cirrhosis patients, and recently, clinical evidence indicates that a higher risk of HE is associated with the usage of proton pump inhibitors. However, the cortical mechanism underlying this neurological disorder of HE remains unknown. (2) Methods: We review the medical recordings of 260 patients diagnosed with liver cirrhosis between January 2021 and March 2022 in one tertiary hospital. Logistic regression analyses were performed to identify the risk factor of HE development. To examine the relationship between cortical dynamics and the administration of proton pump inhibitors, resting-state electroencephalograms (EEGs) were conducted in cirrhosis patients who were treated with proton pump inhibitors. (3) Results: About 28.5% (74 out of 260) of participants developed secondary HE in this study. The logistics regression model indicated that multiple risk factors were associated with the incidence of secondary HE, including proton pump inhibitors usage, white blood cell and neutrophil counts, hemoglobin, prothrombin time activity, and blood urea nitrogen. A total of twelve cirrhosis patients who were scheduled to use proton pump inhibitors consented to performing electroencephalogram recordings upon admission, and eight of twelve participants were diagnosed with HE. Spectral analysis revealed that the decrease in alpha oscillation activities was potentially associated with the development of HE. (4) Conclusions: Our data support the susceptibility of secondary HE in cirrhosis patients treated by proton pump inhibitors. One potential cortical mechanism underlying the neurological disease is the suppression of alpha oscillations in the brain.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To validate a novel biomarker, airway impedance for extraesophageal disease. STUDY DESIGN We prospectively recruited patients with respiratory symptoms undergoing combined endoscopy and direct laryngoscopy for the evaluation of symptoms. The direct laryngoscopy was performed and videotaped for blinded scoring by 3 otolaryngologists and an impedance catheter was placed onto the posterior larynx to obtain measurements. Following this, an endoscopy was performed and impedance measurements and biopsies were taken at 3 esophageal heights. Impedance values were compared within and between patients. RESULTS Eighty-eight patients were recruited, of which 73 had complete airway and endoscopic exams. There was no significant correlation between airway impedance values and mean reflux finding scores (r2 = 0.45, P = .07). There was no significant positive correlation between airway impedance and esophageal impedance values (r2 = 0.097-0.138, P > .2). Patients taking proton pump inhibitors had significantly lower mean airway impedance values (706 ± 450 Ω) than patients not taking them (1069 ± 809 Ω, P = .06). Patients who had evidence of aspiration on video fluoroscopic swallow studies had lower airway impedance (871 ± 615 Ω) than patients without aspiration (1247 ± 360 Ω, P = .008). Inhaled steroids did not impact airway impedance levels (P = .7). CONCLUSIONS Airway impedance may be an important diagnostic tool to diagnose gastroesophageal reflux or aspiration, eliminating the subjectivity of airway appearance alone.

Abstract
This study is aimed at assessing the distinctive features of patients with infected ascites and liver cirrhosis and developing a scoring system to allow for the accurate identification of patients not requiring abdominocentesis to rule out infected ascites. A total of 700 episodes of patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis undergoing abdominocentesis between 2006 and 2020 were included. Overall, 34 clinical, drug, and laboratory features were evaluated using machine learning to identify key differentiation criteria and integrate them into a point-score model. In total, 11 discriminatory features were selected using a Lasso regression model to establish a point-score model. Considering pre-test probabilities for infected ascites of 10%, 15%, and 25%, the negative and positive predictive values of the point-score model for infected ascites were 98.1%, 97.0%, 94.6% and 14.9%, 21.8%, and 34.5%, respectively. Besides the main model, a simplified model was generated, containing only features that are fast to collect, which revealed similar predictive values. Our point-score model appears to be a promising non-invasive approach to rule out infected ascites in clinical routine with high negative predictive values in patients with hydropic decompensated liver cirrhosis, but further external validation in a prospective study is needed.

Abstract
Previous epidemiological studies have shown that proton pump inhibitor (PPI) may modify the risk of pancreatic cancer. We conducted an updated systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies assessing the effect of PPI on pancreatic cancer. PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched for studies published between 1 January 2000, and 1 May 2022. We only included studies that assessed exposure to PPI, reported pancreatic cancer outcomes, and provided effect sizes (hazard ratio or odds ratio) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). We calculated an adjusted pooled risk ratio (RR) with 95%CIs using the random-effects model. Eleven studies (eight case-control and three cohorts) that reported 51,629 cases of pancreatic cancer were included. PPI was significantly associated with a 63% increased risk of pancreatic cancer (RRadj. 1.63, 95%CI: 1.19-2.22, p = 0.002). Subgroup analysis showed that the pooled RR for rabeprazole and lansoprazole was 4.08 (95%CI: 0.61-26.92) and 2.25 (95%CI: 0.83-6.07), respectively. Moreover, the risk of pancreatic cancer was established for both the Asian (RRadj. 1.37, 95%CI: 0.98-1.81) and Western populations (RRadj.2.76, 95%CI: 0.79-9.56). The findings of this updated meta-analysis demonstrate that the use of PPI was associated with an increased risk of pancreatic cancer. Future studies are needed to improve the quality of evidence through better verification of PPI status (e.g., patient selection, duration, and dosages), adjusting for possible confounders, and ensuring long-term follow-up.

Abstract
Purpose Falls have significant financial impact. Proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy is associated with an increased risk of falls and fractures. Exercise programs have been shown to decrease risk of falls in the elderly population and are recommended by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force for patients over age 65 to reduce falls. Our study aimed to explore the potential financial benefit of implementing three different Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-recommended exercise-based interventions for fall prevention (Tai Chi, Stepping On, and Otago Exercise Program) in ≥65-year-old patients on PPI therapy. Methods A Markov model was developed to predict the financial implications of fall-related outcomes in the study population. Net cost of the intervention was deducted from the financial savings predicted for fall avoidance relative to the fall reduction conferred by the intervention. Sensitivity analysis was performed on a range of odds ratios between falling and PPI use. Results Exercise-based interventions were found to offer financial savings when fall reduction rates exceeded 5%, irrespective of variable odds ratios between PPI use and fall rate. Hypothetical implementation of an exercise-based intervention for PPI users ≥65 years of age was estimated to result in annual fall- and fracture-related savings ranging from $10,317.35 to $18,766.28 per individual. Findings suggested an estimated annual reduction in U.S. health care costs of $18 billion to $85 billion. Conclusions Implementing an exercise-based fall prevention program for elderly PPI users represents a possible strategy to mitigate health care costs in the United States. Future prospective studies are recommended.
