Abstract

A double-blind clinical study was carried out in 70 patients with the preparations Biogastrone and Biogastrone-Duodenal (Duogastrone) or Placebo. The group comprised 42 men and 28 women aged between 19 and 64 years. Twenty four patients had gastric ulcer and 46 patients duodenal ulcer. The intensity of pain, dyspepsia, the rate of healing of the ulcer niche using endoscopic assessment were used to assess efficacy. The effect on the secretory function, blood electrolyte changes and the process of the ulcer regeneration were also studied. The tolerance and the appearance of side-effects were carefully observed. Biogastrone and Biogastrone-Duodenal were administered in daily doses of 300 mg for the first week, followed by 150 mg over the following weeks. Patients given placebo treatment received identical dummy tablets or capsules. Endoscopic assessment showed a healing rate of over 70% in both gastric and duodenal ulcer, healing occurred usually between 3-5 weeks. About 36% placebo healing was observed in both types of ulcer. The preparations were well tolerated and side-effects seldom observed. These results show that Biogastrone and Biogastrone-Duodenal are efficient preparations in the treatment of gastric and duodenal ulcer.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
