H. pylori infection - connections

H. pylori infection ->

• Associated With: Gastric ulcers
• Associates With: Bismuth, Lithium (Element level: low; Frequency: invariably)
• Caused By: Helicobacter pylori (State: active)
• Causes: Stomach ulcers (Rank: leading)
• Causes: Osteoporosis (Subtype: high_calcium_related; Modality: may)
• Reduces: Stomach acid levels
• Reduces: Stomach acid (Modality: may; Result: insufficient)

-> H. pylori infection

• Antibiotic therapy - Treats (Outcome: may fail to eradicate)

Helicobacter pylori - connections

Helicobacter pylori ->

• Associated With: Arteriosclerosis, Asthma, Atrial fibrillation, Cardiovascular disease, Gum disease, Liver diseases, Migraines, Rosacea
• Associated With: Headaches (State: chronic)
• Causes: Duodenal ulcer, Peptic ulcer (Degree: primary; Since: discovery)
• Causes: Asthma, Cancers, Cardiovascular disease, Gum disease, Low stomach acid, Ulcers (Frequency: common)
• Causes: Iron-deficiency anemia (Modal: can)
• Causes: Vitamin B12 deficiency (Modal: can; Mechanism: lowered stomach acid and parietal-cell damage)
• Causes: Arthritis (Modal: can; Scope: some forms)
• Causes: Medical condition (Quantity: a number; Additional: other)
• Causes: Gastric ulcers (Quantity: some)
• Damages: Parietal cells, Protective mucous lining
• Impairs: Vitamin B12 uptake (Duration: long-term; Frequency: at times; Mechanism: reducing stomach acid)

• Increases Risk Of: Duodenal ulcer, Gastric cancer, Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma, Peptic ulcer (Activity: greater; Time: eventually)
• Increases Risk Of: Pancreatic cancer, Stomach cancer (Certainty: known)
• Increases Risk Of: Cancers (Condition: not eradicated; Potential: true)
• Increases Risk Of: Pancreatic cancer (Degree: greater)
• Inhibits: Stomach acid
• Is A: Bacterial infections (Role: example strain)
• Lowers: Stomach acid production
• Lowers: Stomach acid production (Modality: may)
• Reduces Risk Of: Barrett's syndrome, Esophageal adenocarcinoma, Esophageal squamous-cell carcinoma (Mechanism: acid inhibition)
• Reduces Risk Of: Esophageal adenocarcinoma, Esophageal squamous-cell carcinoma (Mechanism: lower stomach acid)
• Reduces Risk Of: Asthma (Population: adults; Polarity: not apparent)
• Reduces Risk Of: Childhood asthma (Reduction: 40-60%; Population: children)
• Returns To Level: Stomach acid (Time: two months after stopping broccoli sprouts; Level: pretreatment; Interpretation: activity reduced but bacteria not eradicated)

-> Helicobacter pylori

• Doctors - Associates With (Condition: non-gastric symptoms; Likelihood: little)

Stomach acid production - connections

Stomach acid production ->

• Associated With: Cancers (Certainty: unquestionable; Scope: many common types; Role: prevention basis)
• Associated With: Cancers (Level: low; Frequency: almost every single case; Scope: specified types; Evidence: diagnosed patients)
