Al-Momani H, Aolaymat I. Proton pump inhibitors and gastrointestinal symptoms among patients with COVID-19 infection. Ann Med 2024; 56:2355581. [PMID: 38823421 PMCID: PMC11146260 DOI: 10.1080/07853890.2024.2355581] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2024] [Accepted: 03/25/2024] [Indexed: 06/03/2024] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The administration of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) is anticipated to elevate an individual's susceptibility to enteric infections as a result of altering the gut flora. The influence of PPIs on the clinical manifestation of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is still uncertain. This study aims to investigate the impact of PPI usage on the clinical manifestation of COVID-19, namely its gastrointestinal symptoms. METHODS This is a cross-sectional cohort study involving COVID-19 patients. Patients were interviewed using a predesigned questionnaire that asked about their demographics, clinical manifestations of COVID-19 infection, and the extent and type of PPIs in use. PPI usage was confirmed by reviewing patients' electronic medical records. The primary outcome was to establish any association between the use of PPI and the symptoms and clinical presentation of COVID-19. RESULTS Out of a total of 254 participants, 69 (27.2%) were considered PPI users. Patients who were on PPI medications reported a significantly lower rate of myalgia (27.5% vs 51.9%; p = 0.0006) and heartburn (5.7% vs 15.6%; p = 0.03) but had a significantly higher rate of abdominal pain (27.5% vs 13.5%; p = 0.001) and diarrhoea (28.9% vs 14.5%, p = 0.02) when compared to those who were not using PPIs. Patients on PPIs were also shown to have significantly higher odds of developing diarrhoea (OR 2.0, 95% CI: 1.08 to 3.93, p = 0.02) and abdominal pain (OR 2.0, 95% CI: 1.22 to 3.93, p = 0.03), but a lower risk of developing myalgia (OR 0.5, 95% CI: 0.3 to 0.9, p = 0.02) when compared to non-PPI users. CONCLUSION This study shows that the use of PPIs could impact COVID-19 clinical presentation toward more gastrointestinal manifestations. Further studies investigating the link between other acid suppression medications and COVID-19 manifestations and severity should be carried out.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal (GI) sequelae, such as vomiting, hyperacidity, dysphagia, dysmotility, and diarrhea, are nearly universal among patients with nephropathic cystinosis. These complications result from disease processes (e.g., kidney disease, cystine crystal accumulation in the GI tract) and side effects of treatments (e.g., cysteamine, immunosuppressive therapy). GI involvement can negatively impact patient well-being and jeopardize disease outcomes by compromising drug absorption and patient adherence to the strict treatment regimen required to manage cystinosis. Given improved life expectancy due to advances in kidney transplantation and the transformative impact of cystine-depleting therapy, nephrologists are increasingly focused on addressing extra-renal complications and quality of life in patients with cystinosis. However, there is a lack of clinical data and guidance to inform GI-related monitoring, interventions, and referrals by nephrologists. Various publications have examined the prevalence and pathophysiology of selected GI complications in cystinosis, but none have summarized the full picture or provided guidance based on the literature and expert experience. We aim to comprehensively review GI sequelae associated with cystinosis and its treatments and to discuss approaches for monitoring and managing these complications, including the involvement of gastroenterology and other disciplines.

Abstract
A gastric ulcer is a stomach lining or nearby intestine disruption caused by acid and pepsin. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) and NSAIDs are the primary culprits behind stomach infections that can lead to gastric ulcers and other digestive disorders. Additionally, lifestyle choices such as alcohol consumption and cigarette smoking, stress, and exposure to cold environments can also contribute to non-infectious gastric ulcers. Various treatments are available for gastric ulcers, including antibiotics, anticholinergics, and antacids. However, potential concerns include antibiotic resistance, side effects, and treatment failure. Considering this, there is a need for an alternative approach to manage it. Fortunately, probiotics, typically Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, show potential for healing gastric ulcers, offering a non-invasive alternative to conventional treatments. A notable concern arises from applying probiotic bacteria stemming from the propensity of pathogenic bacteria to develop antimicrobial resistance in response to antibiotic therapies. Therefore, the use of yeast becomes more imperative due to its natural resistance to antibacterial antibiotics for antibacterial-treated patients. Probiotic bacteria and yeasts could heal gastric ulcers by regulating the immune response, reducing inflammation, and restoring the balance between defensive and aggressive factors of the gastric layer. This comprehensive review provides an in-depth analysis of the benefits of probiotics and their potential as a therapeutic treatment for non-infectious gastric ulcers, along with other probiotic options. In particular, this review provides a succinct summary of multiple literature studies on probiotics, emphasising the distinctive properties of yeast probiotics, as well as their (bacteria and yeasts) application in the management of non-infectious gastric ulcers.

Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:7286. [PMID: 39000391 PMCID: PMC11242121 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25137286] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2024] [Revised: 06/26/2024] [Accepted: 06/28/2024] [Indexed: 07/16/2024] Open
Abstract
Whether the long-term treatment of patients with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) with different diseases [GERD, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (ZES), etc.] can result in vitamin B12 (VB12) deficiency is controversial. In this study, in 175 patients undergoing long-term ZES treatment with anti-acid therapies, drug-induced control acid secretory rates were correlated with the presence/absence of VB12 deficiency, determined by assessing serum VB12 levels, measurements of VB12 body stores (blood methylmalonic acid (MMA) and total homocysteine[tHYC]), and other features of ZES. After a mean of 10.2 yrs. of any acid treatment (5.6 yrs. with PPIs), 21% had VB12 deficiency with significantly lower serum and body VB12 levels (p < 0.0001). The presence of VB12 deficiency did not correlate with any feature of ZES but was associated with a 12-fold lower acid control rate, a 2-fold higher acid control pH (6.4 vs. 3.7), and acid control secretory rates below those required for the activation of pepsin (pH > 3.5). Over a 5-yr period, the patients with VB12 deficiency had a higher rate of achlorhydria (73% vs. 24%) and a lower rate of normal acid secretion (0% vs. 49%). In conclusion, in ZES patients, chronic long-term PPI treatment results in marked acid hyposecretion, resulting in decreased serum VB12 levels and decreased VB12-body stores, which can result in VB12 deficiency.

Abstract
Gastric ulcer disease remains one of the common medical burdens affecting millions worldwide due to its prevalent risk factors with the chronic usage of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs at the top, reportedly through the stimulation of oxidative stress and triggering of inflammatory and apoptotic cascades in the gastric mucosa. Astaxanthin, a dietary keto-carotenoid derived from marine organisms is gaining a wide interest as a nutraceutical for its pronounced antioxidant properties. Here, we aim to examine the potential modulatory role of astaxanthin on indomethacin-induced gastric ulceration in experimental mice. Twenty-four Swiss albino mice were randomly distributed into four groups: a control group, an indomethacin group, and two groups pre-treated with either omeprazole or astaxanthin. The gastric tissues were assessed using gross morphology, ulcer scoring, gastric juice acidity, as well as reduced glutathione (GSH) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels. Histopathological examination and immunostaining for nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) and caspase-3 levels were also employed. Indomethacin group tended to show a higher number of mucosal ulcerations relative to control and pre-treated groups. The indomethacin group also showed significantly lower GSH levels and higher MDA levels relative to control. Immunostaining of gastric tissue sections showed a higher reactivity to NF-κB and caspase-3 in indomethacin group. Astaxanthin pre-treatment significantly elevated gastric juice pH, normalized GSH levels, and lowered the indomethacin-induced elevations in MDA, NF-κB, and caspase-3 levels. These results indicate that astaxanthin exhibits a comparable protective effect to omeprazole, against indomethacin-induced gastric ulceration. This anti-ulcerogenic effect could be mediated through its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic modulatory activities.

Abstract
Background: Heightened scrutiny surrounds the inappropriate use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) due to concerns regarding potential serious adverse effects (AEs). Understanding the impact of these AEs on real-world practice is crucial. This study aimed to assess physicians' perceptions, experiences, awareness, and beliefs regarding published data on potential AEs associated with PPIs. Additionally, it sought to determine alterations in PPI prescribing patterns resulting from these AEs, explore attitudes towards PPI use, and ascertain recommendations for PPI use in clinical scenarios with varying levels of risk for upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB). Method: A quantitative, cross-sectional study utilized a self-administered questionnaire, inviting 282 physicians from 55 primary healthcare centers and 334 internal medicine physicians from seven governmental hospitals to participate. Results: With a response rate of 87.8% (541/616), 74% (95% CI: 70.2-77.7) of respondents were somewhat or very familiar with published data on PPI AEs. Among the familiar, 69.5% (CI: 65.2-73.5) had somewhat or very much changed their PPI prescribing patterns. General concerns about AEs when prescribing PPIs were reported by 62% (CI: 56.7-65.1). Respondents displayed awareness of a median (IQR) of 15 (9) different AEs associated with long-term PPI use, including osteoporosis or osteopenia (90.2%), hypomagnesemia (81.5%), vitamin B12 deficiency (80.6%), and bone fracture (80.0%). Respondents believed that PPIs elevate the risk for a median (IQR) of 7 (6) different AEs, with osteoporosis or osteopenia (81.8%) being the most common, followed by hypomagnesemia (67.1%), and vitamin B12 deficiency (62.3%). The most common strategies for PPI de-escalation were PPI discontinuation (61%) and using PPI on-demand/as-needed (57.9%). The majority (87.4%) agreed or strongly agreed that PPI overuse is prevalent in Kuwait and 78.2% emphasized the necessity for large-scale education on rational PPI use for medical staff and the public. In the UGIB prevention scenarios, 43.6% recommended appropriately the PPI discontinuation in the minimal-risk scenario, while 56% recommended appropriately the PPI continuation in the high-risk scenario. Associations and comparative analyses revealed predictors influencing physicians' practices and attitudes toward PPI usage. Conclusion: These findings lay the foundation for future research and targeted interventions aimed at optimizing PPI prescribing practices and ensuring patient safety.

Abstract
Background and Objectives Headache is an adverse event associated with the use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). Recently, migraine has emerged more specifically as a potential adverse event with PPI use. The objectives of this work were to capitalize on existing data to evaluate the association between migraine and severe headache prevalence and use of acid-suppression therapy, including PPIs, H2 receptor antagonists (H2RAs), and generic antacids; to compare risk from PPIs vs H2RAs; and to assess for potential mitigation by a dietary factor affected by acid-suppression therapy. Methods Data from adults in the 1999-2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were used for this cross-sectional analysis. Acid-suppression therapy use was identified from self-report confirmed by product packaging review. Respondents who endorsed migraine or severe headache in the past 3 months were classified in the migraine or severe headache group. Dietary intake of magnesium was determined using one 24-hour recall interview. Multivariable logistic regression models were generated to analyze the relationship between acid-suppression therapy use and migraine or severe headache, and an interaction test was conducted to evaluate whether migraine or severe headache prevalence differed in relation to nutritional magnesium intake across acid-suppression therapy users and nonusers. Results In 11,818 US adults, the use of acid-suppression therapy was associated with higher odds of migraine or severe headache for all types of acid-suppression therapy and use of any type, as compared with those who did not use acid-suppression therapy: use of PPIs (70% higher), H2RAs (40% higher), and generic antacids (30% higher). Differences between acid-suppression therapy were not significant. An interaction was observed for H2RA use and magnesium intake (p = 0.024). Discussion These observations in US adults agree with previous findings that migraine or severe headache is a potential adverse event of PPIs, the most efficacious and most frequently used type of acid suppressing medication, and further suggest that other classes of acid suppressing medications (H2RAs and generic antacids) may also be implicated for migraine and severe headache. Future prospective analyses are needed to investigate migraine risk associated with acid suppressing medications while current evidence is sufficient to evaluate patients with migraine in light of recent deprescribing advice for PPIs.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Potassium-competitive acid blockers (PCABs) represent a new class of compounds for the treatment of acid-related disorders. Recent FDA approval of the PCAB vonoprazan for erosive esophagitis has started an important new approach to acid-related disorders. RECENT FINDINGS Compared to conventional proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), PCABs provide more rapid, potent, and sustained suppression of gastric acid with faster and more durable symptom relief. Studies have demonstrated the efficacy of PCABs for erosive esophagitis, nonerosive reflux disease, and peptic ulcer disease including H. pylori. However, the PCAB vonoprazan was only approved in the US as part of combination therapy for eradication of H. pylori. Clinical trials have now demonstrated noninferiority of vonoprazan to lansoprazole for treatment of erosive esophagitis, particularly noting superiority of vonoprazan in patients with severe esophagitis resulting in FDA approval of vonoprazan for treatment of erosive esophagitis. Emerging data suggests a possible utility of vonoprazan for PPI-resistant gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and on-demand therapy for nonerosive reflux disease. Vonoprazan is generally well tolerated but long-term safety data is not well established. SUMMARY The PCAB vonoprazan is a newly FDA approved treatment option for erosive esophagitis. Its possible role in PPI-resistant GERD and nonerosive reflux disease warrants further investigation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) may affect the upper digestive tract; up to 20% of population in Western nations are affected by GERD. Antacids, histamine H2-receptor antagonists, and Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) are considered the referring medications for GERD. Nevertheless, PPIs must be managed carefully because their use, especially chronic, could be linked with some adverse effects. An effective and safe alternative pharmacological tool for GERD is needed. After the identification of potentially new medications to flank PPIs, it is mandatory to revise and improve good clinical practices even through a consensus process. AIM To optimize diagnosis and treatment guidelines for GERD through a consensus based on Delphi method. METHODS The availability of clinical studies describing the action of the multicomponent/multitarget medication Nux vomica-Heel, subject of the consensus, is the basic prerequisite for the consensus itself. A modified Delphi process was used to reach a consensus among a panel of Italian GERD specialists on the overlapping approach PPIs/Nux vomica-Heel as a new intervention model for the management of GERD. The Voting Consensus group was composed of 49 Italian Medical Doctors with different specializations: Gastroenterology, otolaryngology, geriatrics, and general medicine. A scientific committee analyzed the literature, determined areas that required investigation (in agreement with the multiple-choice questionnaire results), and identified two topics of interest: (1) GERD disease; and (2) GERD treatment. Statements for each of these topics were then formulated and validated. The Delphi process involved two rounds of questioning submitted to the panel experts using an online platform. RESULTS According to their routinary GERD practice and current clinical evidence, the panel members provided feedback to each questionnaire statement. The experts evaluated 15 statements and reached consensus on all 15. The statements regarding the GERD disease showed high levels of agreement, with consensus ranging from 70% to 92%. The statements regarding the GERD treatment also showed very high levels of agreement, with consensus ranging from 90% to 100%. This Delphi process was able to reach consensus among physicians in relevant aspects of GERD management, such as the adoption of a new approach to treat patients with GERD based on the overlapping between PPIs and Nux vomica-Heel. The consensus was unanimous among the physicians with different specializations, underlying the uniqueness of the agreement reached to identify in the overlapping approach between PPIs and Nux vomica-Heel a new intervention model for GERD management. The results support that an effective approach to deprescribe PPIs through a progressive decalage timetable (reducing PPIs administration to as-needed use), should be considered. CONCLUSION Nux vomica-Heel appears to be a valid opportunity for GERD treatment to favor the deprescription of PPIs and to maintain low disease activity together with the symptomatology remission.

Abstract
Since the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 in late 2019, the global mortality attributable to COVID-19 has reached 6,972,152 deaths according to the World Health Organization (WHO). The association between coinfection with Clostridioides difficile (CDI) and SARS-CoV-2 has limited data in the literature. This retrospective study, conducted at Mureș County Clinical Hospital in Romania, involved 3002 ICU patients. Following stringent inclusion and exclusion criteria, 63 patients were enrolled, with a division into two subgroups-SARS-CoV-2 + CDI patients and CDI patients. Throughout their hospitalization, the patients were closely monitored. Analysis revealed no significant correlation between comorbidities and invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) or non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV). However, statistically significant associations were noted between renal and hepatic comorbidties (p = 0.009), death and CDI-SARS-CoV-2 coinfection (p = 0.09), flourochinolone treatment and CDI-SARS-CoV-2 infection (p = 0.03), and an association between diabetes mellitus and SARS-CoV-2-CDI infection (p = 0.04), as well as the need for invasive mechanical ventilation (p = 0.04). The patients with CDI treatment were significantly younger and received immuno-modulator or corticotherapy treatment, which was a risk factor for opportunistic agents. Antibiotic and PPI (proton pump inhibitor) treatment were significant risk factors for CDI coinfection, as well as for death, with PPI treatment in combination with antibiotic treatment being a more significant risk factor.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite deprescribing initiatives to curb overutilization of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), achieving meaningful reductions in PPI use is proving a challenge. SUMMARY An international group of primary care doctors and gastroenterologists examined the literature surrounding PPI use and use-reduction to clarify: (i) what constitutes rational PPI prescribing; (ii) when and in whom PPI use-reduction should be attempted; and (iii) what strategies to use when attempting PPI use-reduction. KEY MESSAGES Before starting a PPI for reflux-like symptoms, patients should be educated on potential causes and alternative approaches including dietary and lifestyle modification, weight loss, and relaxation strategies. When commencing a PPI, patients should understand the reason for treatment, planned duration, and review date. PPI use at hospital discharge should not be continued without a recognized indication for long-term treatment. Long-term PPI therapy should be reviewed at least annually. PPI use-reduction should be based on the lack of a rational indication for long-term PPI use, not concern for PPI-associated adverse events. PPI use-reduction strategies involving switching to on-demand PPI or dose tapering, with rescue therapy for rebound symptoms, are more likely to succeed than abrupt cessation.

Abstract
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are frequently used medications to treat a wide variety of gastrointestinal conditions. By irreversibly inhibiting the hydrogen-potassium ATPase pump, they remarkably reduce gastric acid secretion. However, chronic PPI intake can result in serious complications, including severe hypomagnesemia. The following case report presents a severe case of refractory PPI-induced hypomagnesemia (PPIH), resistant to continuous oral and intravenous magnesium replacement, in a 70-year-old male patient, with a long history of PPI use due to persistent epigastric pain. Upon each of the 10 admissions to the hospital, he presented with severe signs and symptoms of hypomagnesemia, such as nausea, muscle fasciculation, diffuse cramps, weakness, neuromuscular irritability, and ECG disturbances, including non-specific T-wave abnormalities. In fact, PPIH has been reported for the first time in 2006. It is believed that the excessive, chronic intake of PPIs can disturb the normal functioning of the transient receptor potential melastatin 6/7 (TRPM 6/7), which is the main pathway of active intestinal magnesium absorption, leading to hypomagnesemia. PPIH is typically characterized by stubborn resistance to oral and intravenous magnesium replenishment but usually resolves after PPI withdrawal. Hence, despite being among the safest and most commonly prescribed drugs, PPI intake should be closely monitored when prolonged usage is planned. Additionally, continuous follow-up and regular assessment of serum magnesium levels are crucial to avoid the occurrence of PPIH and to prevent its potentially deleterious complications, including life-threatening arrhythmias.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori is the main etiopathogenetic factor of chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer. The world's population is shifting towards older people, who have the highest prevalence of H. pylori. Aging-related peculiarities could have an impact on the treatment of H. pylori and there is still a lack of research data in the older population. The aim of this review was to summarize the findings of the most recent information, publications and studies on the issues relating to H. pylori infection in older patients. H. pylori eradication offers gastrointestinal and extra gastrointestinal benefits in older patients. Based on the main guidelines, H. pylori should be eradicated independent of the patient's age, only reconsidering cases with terminal illness and low life expectancy. Proton pump inhibitors are generally safe and well tolerated. Some antibiotics require dose adjustment only in advanced renal insufficiency and the risk of hepatotoxicity is very low. Special precautions should be taken in patients with polypharmacy and those taking aspirin or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. In older patients, H. pylori eradication treatment frequently causes only mild and short-term adverse events; however, treatment compliance is usually still very good. H. pylori treatment in older patients does not increase the risk of Clostridium difficile infection. Optimal eradication effectiveness (> 90%) is mostly achieved with bismuth- and non-bismuth-based quadruple therapies. Susceptibility-guided treatment of H. pylori can contribute to increasing the effectiveness of eradication regimens in older adults. To achieve optimal H. pylori eradication effectiveness in older patients, the same guidelines, which are applied to adults, also apply to this population: avoiding repetitive treatment prescriptions, choosing quadruple therapies, prescribing longer treatment duration and administering high-dose proton pump inhibitors twice daily.

Abstract
Dementia, an international health issue distinguished by the impairment of daily functioning due to cognitive decline, currently affects more than 55 million people worldwide, with the majority residing in low-income and middle-income countries. Globally, dementia entails significant economic burdens in 2019, amounting to a cost of 1.3 trillion US dollars. Informal caregivers devote considerable hours to providing care for those affected. Dementia imposes a greater caregiving and disability-adjusted life-year burden on women. A recent study has established a correlation between prolonged Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) usage and dementia, in addition to other neurodegenerative conditions. PPIs are frequently prescribed to treat peptic ulcers and GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) by decreasing stomach acid secretion. They alleviate acid-related symptoms through the inhibition of acid-secreting H+-K+ ATPase. In a number of observational studies, cognitive decline and dementia in the elderly have been linked to the use of PPIs. The precise mechanism underlying this relationship is unknown. These drugs might also alter the pH of brain cells, resulting in the accumulation of amyloid-beta (Aβ) peptides and the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Despite the compelling evidence supporting the association of PPIs with dementia, the results of studies remain inconsistent. The absence of a correlation between PPI use and cognitive decline in some studies emphasizes the need for additional research. Chronic PPI use can conceal underlying conditions, including cancer, celiac disease, vitamin B12 deficiency, and renal injury, highlighting dementia risk and the need for further investigations on cognitive health.

Abstract
In patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 syndrome (MEN 1) and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (ZES), gastrinomas arise from the duodenum, about 60% are multiple, and about 15% of patients have coexisting pancreatic gastrinomas, which can be localized by the selective arterial secretagogue injection test (SASI test). The guidelines (GLs) by the Japanese Neuroendocrine Tumor Society (JNETS) recommend surgical resection for functioning duodenopancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), including gastrinomas, in patients with MEN1 (Grade A, 100% agreement among members). Conversely, the GLs of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) in the USA recommend observation and treatment with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) or exploratory surgery for occult gastrinomas. An international Consensus Statement (ICS) from the European Union (EU) also does not recommend resection of gastrinomas in patients with MEN1, despite some surgeons having reported surgery being curative for gastrinomas in MEN1 patients. In this review, we discuss the serious side effects and tumorigenic effects of the prolonged use of PPIs and the safety and curability of surgery, supported by our results of curative surgery for gastrinomas in 20 patients with MEN1 over 30 years. We conclude that surgery should be the first-line treatment for gastrinomas in MEN1 patients.

Abstract
The prophylactic action of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in heterotopic ossification (HO) was first described following analgesic therapy with indomethacin. Following that evidence, several compounds have been successfully used for prophylaxes of HO. Ibuprofen has been also proposed for the prevention of HO following THA. The present study compared the administration of ibuprofen for three weeks versus indomethacin as prophylaxis for HO following primary THA. In all THA procedures, pre- and post-operative protocols were conducted in a highly standardized fashion. The type of HO prophylaxis (indomethacin 100 mg/daily or ibuprofen 100 mg/daily) was chosen according to a chronological criterion: from 2017 to 2019 indomethacin was used, whereas from 2019 to 2022 ibuprofen was administered. In case of allergy or intolerance to NSAIDs, no prophylaxis was performed, and patients were included as a control group. All patients who underwent an anteroposterior radiography of the pelvis at a minimum of 12 months following THA were considered for inclusion. On admission, the age and sex of the patients were recorded. Moreover, the causes of osteoarthritis and the date of surgery were recorded. The grade of HO was assigned by a blinded assessor who was not involved in the clinical management of the patients. The modified Brooker Staging System was used to rate the efficacy of the interventions. Data from 1248 patients were collected. 62% (767 of 1248 patients) were women. The mean age was 67.0 ± 2.9 years. The mean follow-up was 21.1 ± 10.8 months. In the ibuprofen group, 73% of patients evidenced Brooker 0, 17% Brooker I, and 10% Brooker II. In the indomethacin group, 77% of patients evidenced Brooker 0, 16% Brooker I, 6% Brooker II. No patient in the ibuprofen and indomethacin group developed Brooker III or IV. In the control group, 64% of patients evidenced Brooker 0, 21% Brooker I, 3% Brooker II, and 12% Brooker III. No patient in the control group developed Brooker IV HO. Concluding, three weeks of administration of ibuprofen demonstrated similar efficacy to indomethacin in preventing HO following primary THA. The prophylaxis with ibuprofen or indomethacin was more effective in preventing HO compared to a control group who did not receive any pharmacological prophylaxis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Investigate the longitudinal association of use and time of use of proton pump inhibitors (PPI) with incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and kidney function change. METHODS Prospective study with 13,909 participants from baseline (2008-2010) and second wave (2012-2014) of the ELSA-Brasil (mean interval between visits = 3.9 years (1.7-6.0)). Participants answered about use and time use of the PPI in the two weeks prior the interview. Renal function was assessed by glomerular filtration rate estimated by the Collaboration Equation for the Epidemiology of Chronic Kidney Disease. Values below 60ml/min/1.73 m² in wave 2 were considered incident CKD. Associations between PPI use and time of use at baseline and incident CKD and decline in renal function were estimated, respectively, by logistic regression and linear models with mixed effects, after adjusting for confounders. RESULTS After adjustments, PPI users for more than six months had an increased risk of CKD compared to non-users. Compared to non-users, users PPIs for up to six months and above six months had greater decline in kidney function over time. CONCLUSION This cohort of adults and elderly, after a mean interval of 3.9 years, PPI use and initial duration were associated with kidney function change between visits.

Abstract
Children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) or autism are more prone to gastrointestinal (GI) disorders than the general population. These disorders can significantly affect their health, learning, and development due to various factors such as genetics, environment, and behavior. The causes of GI disorders in children with ASD can include gut dysbiosis, immune dysfunction, food sensitivities, digestive enzyme deficiencies, and sensory processing differences. Many studies suggest that numerous children with ASD experience GI problems, and effective management is crucial. Diagnosing autism is typically done through genetic, neurological, functional, and behavioral assessments and observations, while GI tests are not consistently reliable. Some GI tests may increase the risk of developing ASD or exacerbating symptoms. Addressing GI issues in individuals with ASD can improve their overall well-being, leading to better behavior, cognitive function, and educational abilities. Proper management can improve digestion, nutrient absorption, and appetite by relieving physical discomfort and pain. Alleviating GI symptoms can improve sleep patterns, increase energy levels, and contribute to a general sense of well-being, ultimately leading to a better quality of life for the individual and improved family dynamics. The primary goal of GI interventions is to improve nutritional status, reduce symptom severity, promote a balanced mood, and increase patient independence.

Risk factor profiles for gastric cancer prediction with respect to Helicobacter pylori: A study of a tertiary care hospital in Pakistan. Artif Intell Gastroenterol 2023; 4:10-27. [DOI: 10.35712/aig.v4.i1.10] [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: 12/14/2022] [Revised: 04/01/2023] [Accepted: 04/20/2023] [Indexed: 06/08/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric cancer (GC) is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Diagnosis relies on histopathology and the number of endoscopies is increasing. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is a major risk factor.
AIM To develop an in-silico GC prediction model to reduce the number of diagnostic surgical procedures. The meta-data of patients with gastroduodenal symptoms, risk factors associated with GC, and H. pylori infection status from Holy Family Hospital Rawalpindi, Pakistan, were used with machine learning.
METHODS A cohort of 341 patients was divided into three groups [normal gastric mucosa (NGM), gastroduodenal diseases (GDD), and GC]. Information associated with socioeconomic and demographic conditions and GC risk factors was collected using a questionnaire. H. pylori infection status was determined based on urea breath test. The association of these factors and histopathological grades was assessed statistically. K-Nearest Neighbors and Random Forest (RF) machine learning models were tested.
RESULTS This study reported an overall frequency of 64.2% (219/341) of H. pylori infection among enrolled subjects. It was higher in GC (74.2%, 23/31) as compared to NGM and GDD and higher in males (54.3%, 119/219) as compared to females. More abdominal pain (72.4%, 247/341) was observed than other clinical symptoms including vomiting, bloating, acid reflux and heartburn. The majority of the GC patients experienced symptoms of vomiting (91%, 20/22) with abdominal pain (100%, 22/22). The multinomial logistic regression model was statistically significant and correctly classified 80% of the GDD/GC cases. Age, income level, vomiting, bloating and medication had significant association with GDD and GC. A dynamic RF GC-predictive model was developed, which achieved > 80% test accuracy.
CONCLUSION GC risk factors were incorporated into a computer model to predict the likelihood of developing GC with high sensitivity and specificity. The model is dynamic and will be further improved and validated by including new data in future research studies. Its use may reduce unnecessary endoscopic procedures. It is freely available.

Abstract
PURPOSE Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are one of the most widely used drugs worldwide and are involved in several drug interactions. Recently, several studies have suggested that PPIs may interfere with the efficacy of capecitabine. This study primarily aimed to investigate the effects of PPI intake on the pathologic response rate of patients with locally advanced rectal cancer treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy with capecitabine. METHOD A retrospective study was conducted at a French Comprehensive Cancer Center. Patients with locally advanced rectal cancer treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery were included in the study. Demographic parameters, treatment characteristics, survival data, and PPI intake data were collected. Frequencies and percentages were reported for categorical variables and medians and interquartile ranges for continuous variables. Distribution of variables was compared according to PPI treatment using the chi-square test or Fisher's exact test for categorical data and nonparametric Wilcoxon tests for continuous variables. Survival data were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared using the log-rank test. RESULTS In total, 215 patients were included, of whom 135 (62.8%) were men. The PPI intake frequency was 16.1%. The rate of complete pathological response was not significantly lower in patients on PPIs than in those not on PPIs (8.7% vs. 19%, p = 0.36). PPI intake was not associated with a statistically significant decrease in recurrence-free survival (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.26, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.61-2.60, p = 0.54) or overall survival (HR = 0.95, 95% CI 0.33-2.76, p = 0.93). CONCLUSION No significant association was observed between PPI co-medication and complete pathological response or survival in patients treated for locally advanced rectal cancer. However, the safety of PPIs could not be confirmed. Further ancillary studies of prospective clinical trials or studies using the Health Data Hub are necessary to explore the effects of PPIs on rectal cancer more accurately.

Abstract
Since their approval by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1989, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) have become one of the most highly utilized drugs in the United States, assuming a position as one of the top 10 most prescribed medications in the country. The purpose of PPIs is to limit the amount of gastric acid secreted by the parietal cells via irreversible inhibition of the H+/K+-ATPase pump, therefore maintaining an elevated gastric acid pH of greater than 4 for 15-21 h. Even though PPIs have many clinical uses, they are not without their adverse effects, mimicking achlorhydria. Besides electrolyte abnormalities and vitamin deficiencies, long-term use of PPIs has been linked to acute interstitial nephritis, bone fractures, poor COVID-19 infection outcomes, pneumonia, and possibly an increase in all-cause mortality. The causality between PPI use and increased mortality and disease risk can be questioned since most studies are observational. Confounding variables can greatly affect an observational study and explain the wide-ranging associations with the use of PPIs. Patients on PPIs are generally older, obese, sicker with a higher number of baseline morbidities, and on more medications than the compared PPI non-users. These findings suggest that PPI users are at a higher risk of mortality and complications based on pre-existing conditions. This narrative review aims to update readers on the concerning effects that proton pump inhibitor use can have on patients and give providers a resource to create informed decisions on appropriate PPI use.

Abstract
Proton Pump Inhibitors are used widely to manage many gastric acid-related conditions such as gastroesophageal disease, gastritis, esophagitis, Barrett's esophagus, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, peptic ulcer disease, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug-associated ulcers, and Helicobacter pylori eradication, around the globe. This review article focuses on adverse effects associated with the long-term use of proton pump inhibitors. Various observational studies, clinical trials, and meta-analyses have established the adverse effects associated with the long-term use of proton pump inhibitors including renal disorders (acute interstitial nephritis, acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, and end-stage renal disease), cardiovascular risks (major adverse cardiovascular events, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, and stroke), fractures, infections (Clostridium difficile infection, community-acquired pneumonia, and Coronavirus disease 2019), micronutrient deficiencies (hypomagnesemia, anemia, vitamin B12 deficiency, hypocalcemia, hypokalemia), hypergastrinemia, cancers (gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer, hepatic cancer), hepatic encephalopathy, and dementia. Clinicians including prescribers and pharmacists should be aware of the adverse effects of taking proton pump inhibitors for an extended period of time. In addition, the patients taking proton pump inhibitors for long-term should be monitored for the listed adverse effects. The American Gastroenterological association recommends a few non-pharmacological measures and the use of histamine 2 blockers to lessen gastrointestinal symptoms of gastroesophageal reflex disease and the utilization of proton pump inhibitors treatment if there is a definitive indication. Additionally, the American Gastroenterological association's Best Practice Advice statements emphasize deprescribing when there is no clear indication for proton pump inhibitors therapy.

Abstract
Background Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are the most effective agents for managing acid-related disorders. However, inappropriate prescribing of PPIs is becoming an issue of concern. Objective This study aimed to assess the appropriate utilization of PPIs in terms of indication, dose, frequency, and route of administration during admission and discharge. Furthermore, direct costs associated with inappropriate PPI use were calculated. Methods A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at the internal medicine department of a tertiary hospital in Palestine from January 1, 2021, to June 30, 2021. The medical records of patients aged 18 years or older, hospitalized for 48 hours or more, and receiving oral or intravenous (IV) PPIs during their stay were collected and evaluated for the appropriateness of PPIs prescribed according to clinical guidelines. Results Of 262 patients, 80.2% had an appropriate indication for prophylaxis (67.6%) or treatment (12.6%). A total of 230 patients were prescribed IV pantoprazole.182 (79.1%) had an appropriate indication, whereas 122/182 (67%) received IV PPI instead of oral without an appropriate indication. Of the 32 patients who received 20 mg of oral omeprazole, 28 (87.5%) had an appropriate indication, dose, and route of administration, whereas 16/28 (57.1%) had an inappropriate frequency. At discharge, 32.5% of patients were discharged with unnecessary PPI prescriptions. The total direct cost of inappropriate PPI Indications and route of administration in 188 patients over six months was $1518. Conclusion This study showed that most patients received a PPI for an appropriate indication with the correct dose. However, a high prevalence of inappropriate IV pantoprazole administration was observed, resulting in the highest costs, demonstrating the importance of correctly ordering IV medications. Adherence to clinical guidelines, such as those of the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG), will improve the appropriateness of PPI prescribing, prevent complications, and reduce healthcare costs.

Abstract
The prevalence of the gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) in the western world is increasing. Uncontrolled GORD can lead to harmful long-term sequela such as oesophagitis, stricture formation, Barrett's oesophagus and oesophageal adenocarcinoma. Moreover, GORD has been shown to negatively impact quality of life. The current treatment paradigm for GORD consists of lifestyle modification, pharmacological control of gastric acid secretion or antireflux surgery. In recent years, several minimally invasive antireflux endoscopic therapies (ARET) have been developed which may play a role in bridging the unmet therapeutic gap between the medical and surgical treatment options. To ensure optimal patient outcomes following ARET, considered patient selection is crucial, which requires a mechanistic understanding of individual ARET options. Here, we will discuss the differences between ARETs along with an overview of the current evidence base. We also outline future research priorities that will help refine the future role of ARET.

Abstract
Introduction Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic condition characterized by eosinophilic inflammation of the esophagus which leads to esophageal dysfunction with common symptoms including vomiting, feeding difficulty, dysphagia, abdominal pain. Current main treatment options of EoE include dietary elimination and swallowed steroids. Diet elimination approach could lead to identifying the trigger food(s), but it often requires repeated upper endoscopy with general anesthesia and potentially could negatively affect nutrition intake and growth of the child and individuals' quality of life. Although the swallowed steroid treatment of effective, the EoE will universally recur after discontinuation of the treatment. Digestive Tea formula (DTF) has been used by the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practice to improve GI symptoms in EoE patients, including abdominal pain, GE reflux, and abnormal bowel movement. Previously, a flavonoid small molecule compound 7, 4 dihydroxy flavone (DHF) from Glycyrrhiza uralensis in DTF inhibited eotaxin, Th2 cytokine and IgE production in vitro and in vivo. Method This study comprehensively evaluates the potential therapeutic and immunological mechanisms underlying DHF improvement of symptoms related to EoE using computational modeling, including target mining, gene ontology enrichment, pathway analyses, protein-protein interaction analyses, in silico molecular docking and dynamic simulation followed by ex-vivo target validation by qRT-PCR using cultured human esophagus biopsy specimen with or without DHF from patients with EoE. Results Computational analyses defined 29 common targets of DHF on EoE, among which TNF-α, IL-6, IL1β, MAPK1, MAPK3 and AKT1 were most important. Docking analysis and dynamic simulation revealed that DHF directly binds TNF-α with a free binding energy of -7.7 kcal/mol with greater stability and flexibility. Subsequently, in the human esophagus biopsy culture system, significant reduction in levels of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8 and IL1-β was found in the supernatant of biopsy sample cultured with DHF. Furthermore, the gene expression profile showed significant reduction in levels of TNF-α, IL1-β, IL-6, CCND and MAPK1 in the esophagus biopsy sample cultured with DHF. Discussion Taken together, the current study provides us an insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying multi-targeted benefits of DHF in the treatment of EoE and paves the way for facilitating more effective EoE therapies.

Abstract
AIMS To assess whether exposure to proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) shortly preceding COVID-19 diagnosis affected the risk of subsequent hospitalizations and mortality. METHODS This population-based study embraced first COVID-19 episodes in adults diagnosed up to 15 August 2021 in Croatia. Patients were classified based on exposure to PPIs and burden of PPI-requiring morbidities as nonusers (no issued prescriptions, no recorded treatment-requiring conditions between 1 January 2019 and COVID-19 diagnosis), possible users (no issued prescriptions, but morbidities present; self-medication possible) and users (≥1 prescription within 3 months prior to the COVID-19 diagnosis; morbidities present). Subsets were mutually exactly matched for pre-COVID-19 characteristics. The contrast between users and possible users informed about the effect of PPIs that is separate of the effect of PPI-requiring conditions. RESULTS Among 433 609 patients, users and possible users were matched 41 195 (of 55 098) to 17 334 (of 18 170) in the primary and 33 272 to 16 434 in the sensitivity analysis. There was no relevant difference between them regarding mortality (primary: relative risk [RR] = 0.93 [95% confidence interval 0.85-1.02; absolute risk difference [RD] = -0.34% [-0.73, 0.03]; sensitivity: RR = 0.88 [0.78-0.98]; RD = -0.45% [-0.80, -0.11]) or hospitalizations (primary: RR = 1.04 [0.97-1.13]; RD = 0.29% [-0.16, 0.73]; sensitivity: RR = 1.05 [0.97-1.15]; RD = 0.32% [-0.12, 0.75]). The risks of both were slightly higher in possible users or users than in nonusers (absolutely by ~0.4-1.6%) indicating the effect of PPI-requiring morbidities. CONCLUSION Premorbid exposure to PPIs does not affect the risk of death or hospitalization in adult COVID-19 patients, but PPI-requiring morbidities seemingly slightly increase the risk of both.

Abstract
Background Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) is an increasingly common chronic inflammatory disease. The pathological mechanisms underlying EoE are largely unknown. Objective We sought to understand the mechanisms underlying aeroallergen-induced EoE in Sharpin gene deficient (Sharpin-/-) mice that is prone to inflammatory response. Methods Sharpin-/-mice were exposed with Aspergillus fumigatus and ovalbumin intranasally every alternate day for 4 weeks. Wild type (WT) naïve mice, WT exposed, and un-exposed Sharpin-/- mice were controls. Histopathological analysis was performed by H&E, trichrome and major basic protein staining. Total and specific IgE, IgG, and IgA levels were measured by ELISA and Th2 cytokine and CCL11 chemokine gene expression were determined. Results Airborne allergen exposed Sharpin-/- mice showed severe eosinophilic inflammation in the esophagus (p < 0.001), and markedly increased epithelial thickening (p < 0.0001) compared to WT normal controls, whereas airborne allergen exposed WT mice and unexposed Sharpin-/- mice only showed mild eosinophilic inflammation in the esophagus. These exposed Sharpin-/- mice also showed over 7-fold increase in blood eosinophils (p < 0.0001), 60-fold increase in eosinophils in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (p < 0.0001) and 4-fold increase in eosinophils in the skin (p < 0.0001) compared to normal controls. Surprisingly, exposed Sharpin-/- mice did not show elevation of serum total or antigen-specific IgE levels but reduced total IgA and IgG levels than normal controls There was a marked increase in IL-4, IL-13 and CCL11 gene expression in esophageal tissue (p < 0.001) in exposed Sharpin-/- mice compared to WT normal mice. Conclusion Th2 cytokines and chemokines, but not IgE may play an important pathologic role in aeroallergen-induced EoE. This study may provide insight into new therapeutics for EoE.

CYP2C19 Gene Profiling as a Tool for Personalized Stress Ulcer Prophylaxis With Proton Pump Inhibitors in Critically Ill Patients - Recommendations Proposal. Front Med (Lausanne) 2022; 9:854280. [PMID: 35899207 PMCID: PMC9309431 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2022.854280] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2022] [Accepted: 06/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
To this date, there are no recommendations for personalized stress ulcer prophylaxis (SUP) in critical care that would take the patient's individual genetic predispositions into account. Of drugs used for this purpose, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are the first-choice drugs in intensive care unit patients. The degradation of proton pump inhibitors is mediated by cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes; in particular, CYP2C19 and, to a lesser extent, CYP3A4 are involved. Expression and metabolic activity of, namely in, CYP2C19 is significantly affected by single nucleotide polymorphisms, the drug metabolization rate varies greatly from ultrarapid to poor and likely influences the optimal dosage. As these CYP2C19 predictive phenotypes via CYP2C19 haplogenotypes (rs12248560/rs4244285) can be relatively easily determined using the current standard equipment of hospital laboratories, we prepared a set of recommendations for personalized PPI-based stress ulcer prophylaxis taking into account the patient's CYP2C19 predictive phenotype determined in this way. These recommendations are valid, in particular, for European, American and African populations, because these populations have the high representations of the CYP2C19*17 allele associated with the overexpression of the CYP2C19 gene and ultrarapid degradation of PPIs. We propose the CYP2C19 gene profiling as a tool for personalized SUP with PPI in critically ill patients.

Abstract
Introduction of proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy into clinical practice has revolutionized treatment approach to acid-related diseases. With its clinical success came a widespread use of PPI therapy. Subsequently, several studies found that PPIs were oftentimes overprescribed in primary care and emergency setting, likely attributed to seemingly low side-effect profile and physicians having low threshold to initiate therapy. However, now there is a growing concern over PPI side-effect profile among both patients and providers. We would like to bring more awareness to the currently available guidelines on PPI use, discuss clinical indications for PPIs and the evidence behind the reported side-effects. We hope that increased awareness of proper PPI use will make the initiation or continuation of therapy a well informed and an evidence-based decision between patient and physician. We also hope that discussing evidence behind the reported side-effect profile will help clarify the growing concerns over PPI therapy.

Abstract
Background: Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are one of the most widely used drugs worldwide and are overprescribed in patients with cancer; there is increasing evidence of their effects on cancer development and survival. The objective of this narrative review is to comprehensively identify cancer medications that have clinically meaningful drug–drug interactions (DDIs) with PPIs, including loss of efficacy or adverse effects, and to explore the association between PPIs and cancer.Methods: A PubMed search of English language studies published from 1 January 2016, to 1 June 2021 was conducted. The search terms included “proton pump inhibitors,” “cancer,” “chemotherapy,” “immunotherapy,” “hormonotherapies,” “targeted therapies,” “tyrosine kinase inhibitors,” and “gut microbiome”. Recent and relevant clinical trials, meta-analyses, and reviews were included.Results: PPIs may have pro-tumor activity by increasing plasma gastrin levels or anti-tumor activity by inhibiting V-ATPases. However, their impact on cancer survival remains unclear. PPIs may decrease the efficacy of some antineoplastic agents through direct DDIs (e.g., some tyrosine kinase inhibitors, capecitabine, irinotecan, methotrexate). More complex DDIs seem to exist for immunotherapies with indirect interactions through the microbiome. PPIs worsen hypomagnesemia, bone loss, iron, and vitamin B12 deficiencies but may have a protective effect on the renal system.Discussion/Conclusions: PPIs may interact with the cancer microbiome and the efficacy of various antineoplastic agents, although only a few DDIs involving PPIs are clinically significant. Further pharmaco-epidemiological studies are warranted, but physicians should be aware of the potential consequences of PPI use, which should be dose appropriate and prescribed according to guidelines.

Abstract
PURPOSE Zollinger Ellison syndrome (ZES) is a rare syndrome caused by gastrin hypersecretion from a gastrinoma. Gastrinoma treatment has two goals: the control of acid hypersecretion and the control of tumor growth. While therapy for the syndrome is univocally based on proton pump inhibitors, the one for disease control is still debated. We here aimed at evaluating the role of somatostatin analogs (SSAs) in the control of tumor progression in a series of ZES patients. METHODS A retrospective analysis of a prospectively collected database of ZES patients, followed and managed from 1990 to 2019, was performed. The patients' clinical, pathological, treatment, and follow-up data were analyzed. Data regarding SSAs therapy start, dosage, duration, and side effects were collected. RESULTS 33 patients with ZES were diagnosed. Fourteen patients (42%) had a grade 1 (G1) neuroendocrine neoplasm (NEN), five had G2 (15%), none had G3. Fifteen patients (45%) had metastatic disease. Overall, 12 (36%) underwent SSAs therapy. The median treatment duration was 36 months. Eight patients (67%) had a sustained response to SSAs, four (33%) showed an early progression, with a significant difference in terms of PFS between the patients with early and late progression (84 vs 2 months, p = 0.004). No differences in terms of OS and PFS were observed between the treated and non-treated patients, despite the proportion of metastatic patients was greater in the SSAs-treated group (75% vs 29% in the non-treated group, p = 0.01). CONCLUSION Present data support the use of SSAs in ZES, considering that gastrinoma is mainly a well-differentiated low-grade tumor (G1 or G2), with a high expression of somatostatin receptors.

Abstract
Proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) are commonly utilized in the treatment of upper gastrointestinal bleeds (UGIBs) due to their ability to stabilize blood clot formation. PPIs have been shown to reduce rebleeding after endoscopic hemostasis and reduce signs of bleeding at index endoscopy. While PPIs are well-tolerated and commonly administered to patients suffering from acute UGIBs, significant adverse effects may occur. Patients have reported various mild systemic symptoms during short-term PPI use, including headache, rash, dizziness, nausea, abdominal pain, flatulence, constipation, and diarrhea. In general, serious side effects of PPIs tend to be mild during treatment periods under two weeks; however, as the treatment duration increases, side effects have been observed to increase in frequency and severity. PPI-induced thrombocytopenia is an exceedingly rarely reported adverse reaction that remains largely unstudied due to the dearth of patient cases. This adverse effect continues to be a diagnosis of exclusion, and there are no current evidence-based recommendations to approach this complication. Thrombocytopenia increases the risk of rebleeding and hemodynamic instability, which may be devastating to patients suffering from UGIBs. Here, we present a case of thrombocytopenia that began after the introduction of pantoprazole in the setting of a UGIB. The thrombocytopenia resolved promptly after cessation of the medication. We highlight this case to increase awareness of this rare finding given the lack of recommendations for short-term PPI-induced thrombocytopenia.

Abstract
Small vessel disease is a prevalent age-related condition linked to increased risk of dementia and stroke. We investigate the most commonly inherited form, CADASIL, caused by cysteine-involving mutations in NOTCH3. Recent studies highlight accumulation of NOTCH3 N-terminal fragmentation product (NTF) in disease. In vitro, NTF is capable of both spontaneous and catecholamine-enhanced cysteine-mediated oligomerization. Despite well-characterized genetic influence on CADASIL, environmental effects, including medication usage, on disease remain unclear. We studied effects of assorted electrophilic compounds and drugs on NTF oligomerization by SDS-PAGE and dynamic light scattering. We then examined direct proton pump inhibitor-NTF binding with antibodies designed against proton pump inhibitor-labeled proteins and mass spectrometry. Finally, we used monoclonal NTF antibodies with Proximity Ligation Assay to identify NTF oligomers in 3 CADASIL and 2 age-matched control brains. We identified enhancement of NTF oligomerization by two electrophilic cysteine-modifying compounds, N-ethylmaleimide and iodoacetamide, and an electrophilic compound capable of oxidizing cysteines, ferric chloride. Electrophilic clinical drugs (fenoldopam, omeprazole, tenatoprazole, lansoprazole, and rabeprazole) also promoted oligomerization, and we identified direct omeprazole-NTF and tenatoprazole-NTF complexes. Additionally, we provide novel evidence of NTF multimers in human CADASIL brains. A broad array of electrophilic chemicals, including clinically relevant drugs, influences oligomerization of a pathological CADASIL protein, providing mechanistic insight into disease protein oligomerization. We posit that environmental influences, which may include usage of electrophilic drugs, may affect CADASIL presentations.

Abstract
There have been conflicting results regarding the effect of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) as an adjunctive therapy to oral antidiabetic medication (OAM) in those with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). PPIs increase gastrin levels, causing a rise in insulin. No studies have evaluated the duration of PPI therapy and its effect on glycemic control. Medical records across 8 hospitals between 2007 and 2016 were reviewed for 14,602 patients with T2DM (not on insulin therapy) taking PPIs. Values of HbA1c (baseline, follow-up, and the difference between the two) in those prescribed with PPIs and years of therapy were compared to HbA1c values of those who had no record of PPI use. Baseline and follow-up HbA1c for patients on PPIs were 6.8 and 7.0, respectively, compared to 7.1 and 7.2 in their untreated counterparts (p < 0.001 in both comparisons). For both groups, an increase in baseline HbA1c was seen with time. Those on PPI had an increase in HbA1c of 0.16 compared to 0.08 in those not prescribed PPI. Our results show no relationship between the length of PPI therapy and HbA1c reduction.
