[PMID: 38846968 PMCID: PMC11151881 DOI: 10.4292/wjgpt.v15.i3.92305] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2024] [Revised: 04/24/2024] [Accepted: 05/20/2024] [Indexed: 05/27/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) remains a significant healthcare burden, contributing to morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite advancements in therapies, its prevalence persists, particularly in regions with widespread nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) use and Helicobacter pylori infection. AIM To comprehensively analyse the risk factors and outcomes of PUD-related upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding in Pakistani population. METHODS This retrospective cohort study included 142 patients with peptic ulcer bleeding who underwent upper GI endoscopy from January to December 2022. Data on demographics, symptoms, length of stay, mortality, re-bleed, and Forrest classification was collected. RESULTS The mean age of patients was 53 years, and the majority was men (68.3%). Hematemesis (82.4%) and epigastric pain (75.4%) were the most common presenting symptoms. Most patients (73.2%) were discharged within five days. The mortality rates at one week and one month were 10.6% and 14.8%, respectively. Re-bleed within 24 h and seven days occurred in 14.1% and 18.3% of patients, respectively. Most ulcers were Forrest class (FC) III (72.5%). Antiplatelet use was associated with higher mortality at 7 and 30 d, while alternative medications were linked to higher 24-hour re-bleed rates. NSAID use was associated with more FC III ulcers. Re-bleed at 24 h and 7 d was strongly associated with one-week or one-month mortality. CONCLUSION Antiplatelet use and rebleeding increase the risk of early mortality in PUD-related upper GI bleeding, while alternative medicines are associated with early rebleeding.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is 40 years since the discovery of Helicobacter pylori infection. Over that time major changes have occurred in esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) findings. The aim of this review is to describe these changes, and the important role H. pylori infection has played in their evolution. METHODS References were identified through searches of PubMed using the search terms-endoscopy time trends, peptic ulcer disease, gastroesophageal reflux disease, upper gastrointestinal cancer, gastric polyps, H. pylori, eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders, and celiac disease, from 1970 through December 2021. RESULTS The prevalence of H. pylori infection has fallen and consequently, H. pylori-positive peptic ulcer disease has become rare. Gastroesophageal reflux disease is now the commonest disorder diagnosed at EGD, and Barrett's esophagus has increased in parallel. Cancer of the distal stomach has fallen while esophageal adenocarcinoma and reflux-related cardia cancer have risen. Gastric polyps have changed from hyperplastic and adenomas to sporadic fundic gland polyps. Antimicrobial resistance has made H. pylori infection more difficult to eradicate. Eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders, particularly eosinophilic esophagitis, have emerged as important new allergic disorders. Celiac disease has changed and increased. CONCLUSIONS EGD findings appear to have changed from features suggesting a H. pylori-positive "phenotype" 40 years ago to a H. pylori-negative "phenotype" today. These changes have major implications for the management of gastrointestinal disorders.

Abstract
Aspirin, other antiplatelet agents, and anticoagulant drugs are used across a wide spectrum of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. A concomitant proton pump inhibitor (PPI) treatment is often prescribed in these patients, as gastrointestinal complications are relatively frequent. On the other hand, a potential increased risk of cardiovascular events has been suggested in patients treated with PPIs; in particular, it has been discussed whether these drugs may reduce the cardiovascular protection of clopidogrel, due to pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic interactions through hepatic metabolism. Previously, the concomitant use of clopidogrel and omeprazole or esomeprazole has been discouraged. In contrast, it remains less known whether PPI use may affect the clinical efficacy of ticagrelor and prasugrel, new P2Y12 receptor antagonists. Current guidelines recommend PPI use in combination with antiplatelet treatment in patients with risk factors for gastrointestinal bleeding, including advanced age, concurrent use of anticoagulants, steroids, or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. In patients taking oral anticoagulant with risk factors for gastrointestinal bleeding, PPIs could be recommended, even if their usefulness deserves further data. H. pylori infection should always be investigated and treated in patients with a history of peptic ulcer disease (with or without complication) treated with antithrombotic drugs. The present review summarizes the current knowledge regarding the widespread combined use of platelet inhibitors, anticoagulants, and PPIs, discussing consequent clinical implications.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori infection causes chronic gastritis, which can progress to severe gastroduodenal pathologies, including peptic ulcer, gastric cancer and gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma. H. pylori is usually transmitted in childhood and persists for life if untreated. The infection affects around half of the population in the world but prevalence varies according to location and sanitation standards. H. pylori has unique properties to colonize gastric epithelium in an acidic environment. The pathophysiology of H. pylori infection is dependent on complex bacterial virulence mechanisms and their interaction with the host immune system and environmental factors, resulting in distinct gastritis phenotypes that determine possible progression to different gastroduodenal pathologies. The causative role of H. pylori infection in gastric cancer development presents the opportunity for preventive screen-and-treat strategies. Invasive, endoscopy-based and non-invasive methods, including breath, stool and serological tests, are used in the diagnosis of H. pylori infection. Their use depends on the specific individual patient history and local availability. H. pylori treatment consists of a strong acid suppressant in various combinations with antibiotics and/or bismuth. The dramatic increase in resistance to key antibiotics used in H. pylori eradication demands antibiotic susceptibility testing, surveillance of resistance and antibiotic stewardship.

Abstract
Major bleeding is a common threat in patients requiring antiplatelet therapy. Timing and intensity with regard to resumption of antiplatelet therapy represent a major challenge in clinical practice. Knowledge of the patient's bleeding risk, defining transient/treatable and permanent/untreatable risk factors for bleeding, and weighing these against thrombotic risk are key to successful prevention of major adverse events. Shared decision-making involving various disciplines is essential to determine the optimal strategy. The present article addresses clinically relevant questions focusing on the most life-threatening or frequently occurring bleeding events, such as intracranial hemorrhage and gastrointestinal bleeding, and discusses the evidence for antiplatelet therapy resumption using individual risk assessment in high-risk cardiovascular disease patients.

Abstract
An analysis of the most important changes and provisions of the Maastricht VI consensus published in August 2022 is presented. 41 experts from 29 countries took part in the creation of the consensus. Recommendations have been developed in five areas: (1) indications for treatment and clinical associations of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection, (2) diagnosis, (3) treatment, (4) prevention of gastric cancer, (5) H. pylori and gastric microbiota -intestinal tract (GIT), taking into account the level of evidence and the strength of recommendations. Emphasis is placed on molecular testing, which is becoming an increasingly accessible research method in the world to identify both H. pylori itself and its sensitivity to antibiotics. The growing resistance of H. pylori strains to previously effective antibacterial agents requires a treatment strategy that implies the ability to determine the sensitivity of H. pylori to antibacterial agents both in the population and in a particular individual. The use of modern diagnostic tests expands the possibilities of individualization of therapy, since it allows determining not only the presence of H. pylori in the gastric mucosa, but also the sensitivity of the infection to antibacterial drugs. Along with individual approaches to treatment, the most effective empirical therapy regimens are given in case of impossibility to determine individual resistance to antibiotics. New data on the effectiveness and results of the use of primary and secondary preventive strategies for gastric cancer are presented. Given the important role of the entire microbiome of the gastrointestinal tract in the functioning of the body, the question of the interaction of H. pylori with other microorganisms is discussed. The critical issues of the near future are related to the global prevention of gastric cancer; the need to control antibiotic resistance, and the development of new methods of therapy and prevention of Helicobacter pylori infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the effect of Anwei Qingyou formula on the clinical treatment of patients with peptic ulcer (PU) and its effect on the levels of epidermal growth factor (EGF) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). METHODOLOGY Medical records of 83 patients with PU, treated in our hospital from January 2020 to January 2021, were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 40 patients received conventional triple therapy (scheme I), that is, oral omeprazole, clarithromycin and amoxicillin, twice a day, and 43 patients received conventional triple therapy + Anwei Qingyou formula, taken orally twice a day (scheme II). The improvement of clinical symptoms, the quality of ulcer healing, clinical effectiveness and recurrence rate were analyzed after 4 weeks of treatment. Patients were followed up for six months. RESULTS After treatment with corresponding regimen, the total clinical effective rate of scheme II was 97.57% (42/43), which was significantly higher than 82.50% (33/40) of scheme I. Six-month follow-up results showed that the recurrence rate in scheme II patients was 4.65% (2/43), which was significantly lower than 20.00% (8/40) in the scheme I group (χ 2 = 5.479, 4.607, all P < .05). After one course of treatment, the levels of serum EGF and PGE2 in scheme II group were higher than those in scheme I group (P < .05). CONCLUSION In combination with the conventional western medicine treatment, Anwei Qingyou formula administration in PU patients effectively improves the overall control of the disease and therapeutic effectiveness.

Abstract
Background Clarithromycin-based therapy is important for Helicobacter pylori eradication treatment. However, clarithromycin may increase cardiovascular risk. Hence, we investigated the association between clarithromycin use and outcomes in adults with stable coronary heart disease (CHD) and subsequent peptic ulcer disease (PUD).
Methods This nationwide cohort study used a national health insurance database to screen 298,417 Taiwanese residents who were diagnosed with coronary heart disease from 2001 to 2015 for eligibility in the study and to evaluate select eligible patients with CHD–PUD from 2004 to 2015. Data were obtained from new users of clarithromycin (n = 4183) and nonusers of clarithromycin (n = 24,752) during follow-up. A total of 4070 eligible clarithromycin users and 4070 nonusers were subject to final analysis by 1:1 propensity score matching. Participants were followed up after receiving clarithromycin or at the corresponding date until the occurrence of cardiovascular morbidity in the presence of competing mortality, overall mortality and cardiovascular mortality, or through the end of 2015. The incidence rates and risks of overall mortality and cardiovascular outcomes were evaluated. The associations between clarithromycin and arrhythmia risk, as well as its dose and duration and overall mortality and cardiovascular outcomes were also addressed.
Results Clarithromycin users were associated with adjusted hazard ratios of 1.08 (95% confidence interval, 0.93–1.24; 21.5 compared with 21.2 per 1000 patient-years) for overall mortality, 0.95 (0.57–1.59; 1.5 compared with 1.8 per 1000 patient-years) for cardiovascular mortality, and 0.94 (0.89–1.09; 19.6 compared with 20.2 per 1000 patient-years) for cardiovascular morbidity in the presence of competing mortality, as compared with nonusers. We found no relationship between dose and duration of clarithromycin and overall mortality and cardiovascular outcomes and no increased risk of arrhythmia during follow-up period. After inclusion of arrhythmia events to re-estimate the risks of all study outcomes, the results remained insignificant.
Conclusion Concerning overall mortality, cardiovascular mortality, and cardiovascular morbidity, our results suggest clarithromycin-based therapy for Helicobacter pylori eradication may be safe in patients with stable CHD and subsequent PUD.

Abstract
Was ist neu?
Risikofaktoren für eine gastrointestinale Ulkusblutung Die Helicobacter-pylori-Gastritis (H. pylori-Gastritis) und die Therapie mit nicht steroidalen Antirheumatika (NSAR) sind die wichtigsten Risikofaktoren für die Entstehung eines peptischen Ulkus (PUD) und einer Ulkusblutung. Eine Infektion mit H. pylori erhöht das Risiko einer Ulkusblutung bei Patienten mit PUD, die NSAR, Aspirin oder einen anderen Plättchen-Aggregationshemmer einnehmen. H. pylori-positive Patienten unter kombinierter Plättchen-Aggregationshemmung tragen das höchste Blutungsrisiko. Evidenzbasierte interdisziplinäre Behandlungsempfehlungen zur sicheren NSAR-Anwendung aus dem Jahr 2020 berücksichtigen sowohl das kardiovaskuläre als auch das gastrointestinale Risikoprofil der einzelnen Patienten. Für Patienten mit einem moderaten Risiko für die Entstehung eines PUD wird die Therapiekombination aus NSAR und Protonen-Pumpen-Inhibitoren (PPI) oder eine Monotherapie mit selektiven COX-2-Inhibitoren (COX-2: Cyclooxygenase-2) empfohlen. Patienten mit einem hohen Blutungsrisiko dagegen sollten eine Kombinationstherapie aus selektivem COX-2-Inhibitor und PPI erhalten. Bei Patienten mit einem hohen kardiovaskulären Risiko, bei denen auf eine NSAR-Therapie nicht verzichtet werden kann, werden Naproxen oder Celecoxib empfohlen.
Die Behandlung der gastrointestinalen Ulkusblutung Die Ulkusblutung geht mit einer erhöhten Letalität einher. Bei hämodynamisch stabilen Patienten mit Zeichen einer oberen gastrointestinalen Blutung und erhöhtem Sterberisiko (Glasgow-Blatchford Score ≥ 12) ist die Durchführung einer Ösophago-Gastro-Duodenoskopie (ÖGD) nach 6–24 Stunden ausreichend, eine Notfall-ÖGD (innerhalb der ersten 6 Stunden) verbessert vergleichsweise die 30-Tage-Letalität nicht. Nach erfolgreicher endoskopischer Hämostase reduziert eine zusätzliche prophylaktische angiografische Embolisation das Risiko einer erneuten Blutung nicht.
Die Helicobacter-pylori-Eradikation Eine erfolgreiche H. pylori-Eradikation reduziert das Risiko für die Entwicklung eines Magenkarzinoms bei Verwandten ersten Grades von Patienten mit Magenkarzinom um 73 %. Bei Patienten mit erfolgreicher endoskopischer Behandlung eines Magenfrühkarzinoms ist eine H. pylori-Testung mit anschließender Eradikation ebenfalls sinnvoll, da hierdurch die Rate an metachronen Magenkarzinomen halbiert werden konnte. Die Standard-Triple-Therapie zu der H. pylori-Eradikation zeigt aufgrund zunehmender Antibiotikaresistenzen, insbesondere gegen Makrolide, eine nachlassende Wirksamkeit. Dementsprechend wird die Bismut-haltige Quadrupel-Therapie als empirische Standard-Erstlinientherapie empfohlen.

Abstract
Helicobacter pyloriInfection is formally recognised as an infectious disease, an entity that is now included in the International Classification of Diseases 11th Revision. This in principle leads to the recommendation that all infected patients should receive treatment. In the context of the wide clinical spectrum associated with Helicobacter pylori gastritis, specific issues persist and require regular updates for optimised management.The identification of distinct clinical scenarios, proper testing and adoption of effective strategies for prevention of gastric cancer and other complications are addressed. H. pylori treatment is challenged by the continuously rising antibiotic resistance and demands for susceptibility testing with consideration of novel molecular technologies and careful selection of first line and rescue therapies. The role of H. pylori and antibiotic therapies and their impact on the gut microbiota are also considered.Progress made in the management of H. pylori infection is covered in the present sixth edition of the Maastricht/Florence 2021 Consensus Report, key aspects related to the clinical role of H. pylori infection were re-evaluated and updated. Forty-one experts from 29 countries representing a global community, examined the new data related to H. pylori infection in five working groups: (1) indications/associations, (2) diagnosis, (3) treatment, (4) prevention/gastric cancer and (5) H. pylori and the gut microbiota. The results of the individual working groups were presented for a final consensus voting that included all participants. Recommendations are provided on the basis of the best available evidence and relevance to the management of H. pylori infection in various clinical fields.

Abstract
The study is aimed at evaluating the application value of ultrasound combined with gastroscopy in diagnosing gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) caused by Helicobacter pylori (HP). An ultrasound combined with a gastroscopy diagnostic model based on improved K-means Singular Value Decomposition (N-KSVD) was proposed first. 86 patients with Peptic ulcer (PU) and GIB admitted to our Hospital were selected and defined as the test group, and 86 PU patients free of GIB during the same period were selected as the control group. The two groups were observed for clinical manifestations and HP detection results. The results showed that when the noise ρ was 10, 30, 50, and 70, the Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) values of N-KSVD dictionary after denoising were 35.55, 30.47, 27.91, and 26.08, respectively, and the structure similarity index measure (SSIM) values were 0.91, 0.827, 0.763, and 0.709, respectively. Those were greater than those of DCT dictionary and Global dictionary and showed statistically significant differences versus the DCT dictionary (P < 0.05). In the test group, there were 60 HP-positives and 26 HP-negatives, and there was significant difference in the numbers of HP-positives and HP-negatives (P < 0.05), but no significant difference in gender and age (P > 0.05). Of the subjects with abdominal pain, HP-positives accounted for 59.02% and HP-negatives accounted for 37.67%, showing significant differences (P < 0.05). Finally, the size of the ulcer lesion in HP-positives and HP-negatives was compared. It was found that 71.57% of HP-positives had ulcers with a diameter of 0-1 cm, and 28.43% had ulcers with a diameter of ≥1 cm. Compared with HP-negatives, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). In conclusion, N-KSVD-based ultrasound combined with gastroscopy demonstrated good denoising effects and was effective in the diagnosis of GIB caused by HP.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We examined the relationship between compliance with long-term immunosuppressive therapy after kidney transplantation and gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms in patients discharged from hospitals in this study. METHOD Our study was conducted as a descriptive study with the participation of 114 kidney transplant recipients discharged from the organ transplant center of a training and research hospital. Personal Information Form, Immunosuppressive Therapy Compliance Scale and Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale were used in data collection. The data analysis was performed with IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) Statistics 25. RESULTS According to the findings, 47.4% of kidney transplant patients were between the ages of 46 and 64, and 80.7% of them were male. 41.2% of kidney recipients used immunosuppressive agents between 91 days and 6 months. Compliance with immunosuppressive therapy was similar in all age groups. It was determined that the recipients between the ages of 18 and 30 experienced GI symptoms the most. In terms of the predictors of GI symptoms, it was determined that mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) was effective in the development of reflux and diarrhoea, cyclosporine in the development of diarrhoea and constipation, and tacrolimus in the development of indigestion, which are (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION For kidney recipients to have high compliance with immunosuppressive therapy, it is of great importance that they are able to cope with GI symptoms. Our study showed that GI symptoms increase in direct proportion as the duration of immunosuppressive therapy is prolonged and the level of compliance increases. GI symptoms of kidney transplant patients should be recognized, and recipients should be helped to manage those problems.

Abstract
The incidence of cardiovascular diseases has increased due to the aging of the population. Therefore, antithrombotic therapy is increasingly prescribed for cardiovascular prevention. However, long-term use of antithrombotic drugs can cause damage to the digestive tract. Gastrointestinal complications, including ulcer and bleeding, are relatively common during antithrombotic therapy. In order to minimize the digestive tract damage induced by antithrombotic drugs, there are several strategies available, including reducing modifiable risk factors, using the most optimal antithrombotic regimen to ensure gastrointestinal risk-cardiovascular benefit balance, and using gastroprotective agents. In recent years, researchers are attempting to find new solutions from traditional Chinese medicine. Studies have shown that traditional Chinese medicine has its own characteristics and clinical advantages in preventing and treating diseases. In this review, we provide a summary of recent updates regarding gastrointestinal damage induced by antithrombotic therapy as well as its prevention and treatment with both traditional Chinese and Western medicine.

Abstract
The majority of studies concerning Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) are oriented towards the implication of infection with H. pylori in processes that end in the formation of neoplasia, without assessing the impact of the bacterium in triggering acute gastroduodenal hemorrhagic episodes. The present study includes 166 patients with upper digestive hemorrhage, admitted to the ATI Clinic, the Gastroenterology Clinic or to the Surgery II Clinic of the County Emergency Clinical Hospital in Craiova, Romania between 2017 and 2019. All patients were monitored for evolution and received treatment according to current guidelines, and hemorrhagic lesions were biopsied. In the study group, 56.8% of the patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) were positive for H. pylori and 43.2% were negative. In patients less than 50 years of age, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use and H. pylori infection had a cumulative effect in causing bleeding lesions, but in patients older than 50 years of age, the use of NSAIDs was replaced by therapies with oral antiplatelet or anticoagulant agents. The need for hemostasis surgery was more common in patients who exhibited H. pylori-positive UGIB compared to H. pylori-negative (16 vs. 9.7%). In patients with H. pylori-positive hemorrhagic lesions, gastric resection was frequently required to obtain hemostasis. Persistence of H. pylori infection in patients with a history of gastric resection (4.1%) still predisposes to a hemorrhagic or neoplastic complication.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Accurate risk prediction is important for evaluating early medical treatment effects and improving health care quality. Existing methods are usually designed for dynamic medical data, which require long-term observations. Meanwhile, important personalized static information is ignored due to the underlying uncertainty and unquantifiable ambiguity. It is urgent to develop an early risk prediction method that can adaptively integrate both static and dynamic health data. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data were from 6367 patients with Peptic Ulcer Bleeding between 2007 and 2016. This article develops a novel End-to-end Importance-Aware Personalized Deep Learning Approach (eiPDLA) to achieve accurate early clinical risk prediction. Specifically, eiPDLA introduces a long short-term memory with temporal attention to learn sequential dependencies from time-stamped records and simultaneously incorporating a residual network with correlation attention to capture their influencing relationship with static medical data. Furthermore, a new multi-residual multi-scale network with the importance-aware mechanism is designed to adaptively fuse the learned multisource features, automatically assigning larger weights to important features while weakening the influence of less important features. RESULTS Extensive experimental results on a real-world dataset illustrate that our method significantly outperforms the state-of-the-arts for early risk prediction under various settings (eg, achieving an AUC score of 0.944 at 1 year ahead of risk prediction). Case studies indicate that the achieved prediction results are highly interpretable. CONCLUSION These results reflect the importance of combining static and dynamic health data, mining their influencing relationship, and incorporating the importance-aware mechanism to automatically identify important features. The achieved accurate early risk prediction results save precious time for doctors to timely design effective treatments and improve clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Acid-related diseases (ARDs) are common chronic diseases of the digestive system. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) have become the first-line drugs for the treatment of acid-related diseases. However, PPIs display some limitations in clinical application, such as short half-life, slow action, insufficient acid inhibition, pharmacological effects affected by CYP2C19 gene polymorphism, and nocturnal acid breakthrough, which lead to insufficient symptom remission of ARDs, as well as refractoriness, relapse, and even direct decline in health-related quality of life and increased economic burden. Potassium competitive acid blockers (P-CABs) are a class of novel anti-secretory drugs, which can overcome the limitations of traditional PPIs and show satisfactory acid inhibition effect and safety in clinical application. They may become a new strategy to solve the unsatisfied medical needs in the treatment of ARDs, but their potential adverse reactions remain to be monitored. In this article, we review the challenges in the treatment of acid-related diseases, and the advantages and prospects of P-CABs in the prevention and treatment of ARDs.

[PMID: 33279389 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejim.2020.11.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2020] [Revised: 11/03/2020] [Accepted: 11/16/2020] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
Aspirin and P2Y12 receptor antagonists are widely used across the spectrum of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Gastrointestinal complications, including ulcer and bleeding, are relatively common during antiplatelet treatment and, therefore, concomitant proton pump inhibitor (PPI) treatment is often prescribed. However, potential increased risk of cardiovascular events has been suggested for PPIs, and, in recent years, it has been discussed whether these drugs may reduce the cardiovascular protection by aspirin and, even more so, clopidogrel. Indeed, pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic studies suggested an interaction through hepatic CYP2C19 between PPIs and clopidogrel, which could translate into clinical inefficacy, leading to higher rates of cardiovascular events. The FDA and the EMA sent a warning in 2010 discouraging the concomitant use of clopidogrel with omeprazole or esomeprazole. In addition, whether the use of PPIs may affect the clinical efficacy of the new P2Y12 receptor antagonists, ticagrelor and prasugrel, remains less known. According to current guidelines, PPIs in combination with antiplatelet treatment are recommended in patients with risk factors for gastrointestinal bleeding, including advanced age, concurrent use of anticoagulants, steroids or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and Helicobacter pylori infection. Like vitamin K antagonists (VKAs), DOACs can determine gastrointestinal bleeding. Results from both randomized clinical trials and observational studies suggest that high-dose dabigatran (150 mg bid), rivaroxaban and high-dose edoxaban (60 mg daily) are associated with a higher risk of GI bleeding as compared with apixaban and warfarin. In patients taking oral anticoagulant with GI risk factor, PPI could be recommended, even if usefulness of PPIs in these patients deserves further data. Helicobacter pylori should always be searched, and treated, in patients with history of peptic ulcer disease (with or without complication). Given the large number of patients treated with antithrombotic drugs and PPIs, even a minor reduction of platelet inhibition or anticoagulant effect potentially carries a considerable clinical impact. The present joint statement by ANMCO and AIGO summarizes the current knowledge regarding the widespread use of platelet inhibitors, anticoagulants, and PPIs in combination. Moreover, it outlines evidence supporting or opposing drug interactions between these drugs and discusses consequent clinical implications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding is a well-recognized complication of peptic ulcers and erosions. The aim of this study was to assess the incidence rate and identify risk factors for this complication in southeastern Norway. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between March 2015 and December 2017, a prospective observational study was conducted at two Norwegian hospitals with a total catchment area of approximately 800,000 inhabitants. Information regarding patient characteristics, comorbidities, drug use, H. pylori status and 30-day mortality was recorded. RESULTS A total of 543 adult patients were included. The incidence was 30/100,000 inhabitants per year. Altogether, 434 (80%) of the study patients used risk medication. Only 46 patients (8.5%) used proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) for more than 2 weeks before the bleeding episode. H. pylori testing was performed in 527 (97%) patients, of whom 195 (37%) were H. pylori-positive. The main comorbidity was cardiovascular disease. Gastric and duodenal ulcers were found in 183 (34%) and 275 (51%) patients, respectively. Simultaneous ulcerations at both locations were present in 58 (10%) patients, and 27 (5%) had only erosions. Overall, the 30-day mortality rate was 7.6%. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of upper gastrointestinal bleeding due to peptic ulcers and erosions was found to be lower than previously demonstrated in comparable studies, but the overall mortality rate was unchanged. The consumption of risk medication was high, and only a few patients had used prophylactic PPIs. Concurrent H. pylori infection was present in only one-third of the patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE The global prevalence of Helicobacter pylori remains high in spite of its significant downwards trajectory in many regions. The clinical management of H. pylori infection merits guidance to meet ongoing challenges on whom and how to test, prevent, and cure related diseases. RECENT FINDINGS Several international guidelines and consensus reports have updated the management strategies for cure of the H. pylori infection. The definition of H. pylori gastritis as an infectious disease independent of whether or not presenting with clinical manifestations and symptoms has broadened the use of the test and treat strategy. Patients on selected long-term medications, such as aspirin, other anti-platelet agents, NSAIDs, and PPIs should be considered for H. pylori test and treat. Important progress is made with initiatives in primary and secondary gastric cancer prevention. Uncertainties persist in the interpretation of the role of H. pylori in association with extragastric diseases. Selection of therapies needs to address individual antibiotic resistance and regional surveillance of resistance for the adoption of an effective treatment algorithm. CONCLUSION Clinical aspects of H. pylori infection have evolved over time and the therapeutic management requires continuous adaptation. A vaccine is still a non-fulfilled promise. The future will tell us more about the role of H. pylori in interactions with the gut microbiome.

Abstract
Peptic ulcer bleeding remains an important medical emergency. Important recent advances are reviewed. These include further support for a more restrictive transfusion strategy aiming for a target haemoglobin of 70-90 g/L. The Glasgow-Blatchford score remains the most useful assessment score for identifying the lowest risk patients suitable for outpatient management and predicting the need for intervention. Newer scores such as the AIMS65 and Progetto Nazionale Emorragia Digestive score (PNED) may be more accurate in predicting mortality. Pre-endoscopy erythromycin improves outcomes and is underused. A new disposable Doppler probe appears to provide more accurate determination of both rebleeding risk and the success of endoscopic therapy than purely visual guidance. Over-the-scope clips and haemostatic powders appear to have some role as endoscopic salvage therapies. Non- H. pylori, non-aspirin/non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) ulcers contribute to an increasing percentage of bleeding peptic ulcers and are associated with a high rebleeding rate. The optimal management of these ulcers remains to be determined.
