ProbioticsProbiotics
are viable organisms that have health benefits following administration. Common
bacterial genera include bifidobacteria, lactobacilli, streptococci,
enterococci, and E. coli.Probiotics

Probiotics contain
microorganisms, most of which are bacteria similar to the beneficial bacteria
that occur naturally in the human gut. Probiotics have an important role in the
maintenance of immunologic equilibrium in the gastrointestinal tract through
the direct interaction with immune cells.
Probiotics are safe for infants,
children,...
Probiotics are living non-pathogenic microorganisms, which
when given in sufficient amounts should be
beneficial to host by improving its microbial balance in gut and participate in
the metabolism.Probiotics uses are common and recommended in different text books.Find out below beneficial effects of probiotics and what are covered in Medical Te...
Heartburn is a cardinal symptom
of gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) and is among the most common patient
complaints.
Chronic GERD can cause heart
burn, ulcers, scarring, and inflammation in the esophagus. It can also change
cells that line the esophagus. This is known as Barrett's esophagus and it
increases the risk of developi...
Gastroesophageal reflux disease
(GERD) is a common condition, with multifactorial pathogenesis, affecting up to
40% of the population. Obesity is also common. Obesity and GERD are clearly
related, both from a prevalence and causality association.
GERD symptoms increase in
severity when people gain weight. Obese patients tend to have more se...
Esomeprazole is the first proton
pump inhibitor to be developed as an optical isomer for the treatment of
acid-related diseases. One-week triple therapy with esomeprazole provides
effective eradication of Helicobacter pylori in duodenal ulcer disease.Study Design:Study compared the efficacy of
both esomeprazole and omeprazole, in combination wi...
Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a chronic disorder of the
digestive system caused by the lower esophageal sphincter not closing properly.
This can allow stomach acid, bile into esophagus, causing inflammation and, in
some cases, tooth erosion.
Heartburn and acid regurgitation
are the main symptoms of GERD, though some people have...
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is very common during
pregnancy; approximately 45%-80% of
pregnant women have experienced GERD. GERD can have a negative impact on quality of
life, particularly late in pregnancy.
The elevated progesterone hormone
levels of pregnancy probably cause reflux by lowering the pressure in the lower
esophag...
Probiotics are live microorganisms that, when administered in adequate
amounts confer a health benefit on the host. RemoveAvailable BrandCurrent insights into the clinical applications for various
probiotics in gastroenterology are summarized below:
Medical management of GERD mainly
uses proton pump inhibitors. Alginates plus Antacids also have proven efficacy.
Tolerance and safety were good and comparable in both groups.Alginates plus Antacids was
non-inferior to omeprazole in achieving a 24-h heartburn-free period in
moderate episodic heartburn, and is a relevant effective alternative tr...
A study published Oct. 12
in the Annals of Internal Medicine that compared three types of direct oral
anticoagulants (DOACs) found that rivaroxaban was associated with a much higher
risk of overall and major gastrointestinal bleeding than apixaban or
dabigatran, according to a study. Other studies yield similar results.The researchers found
th...
Esomeprazole is the S-isomer of
Omeprazole and reduces gastric acid secretion through a specific targeted
mechanism of action. It is a specific inhibitor of the acid pump in the
parietal cell. Esomeprazole works better to lower acidity in the gut and
improve symptoms of GERD compared to omeprazole. How?Find out below: RemoveAvailable Brand
