TL;DR: It was confirmed that H. pylori infection alone causes gastric cancer in an animal model and two of five infected animals showed three well-differentiated gastric cancers.

TL;DR: Based on the results, it is believed that in patients with active severe UC, patients who are refractory to conventional drugs, granulocyte and monocyte adsorption apheresis is a useful adjunct to conventional therapy.

TL;DR: The high sensitivity and specificity of the nested PCR indicate that the assay can provide early diagnosis with sufficient accuracy to be clinically useful for immunocompromised patients with invasive aspergillosis.

TL;DR: There is an evolving trend towards increased resistance to clarithromycin with geographical and gender differences as well as between clinical disease conditions in Japan, and current empirical regimens are not based on susceptibility data representative of the general population.

TL;DR: It is suggested that azithromycin inhibits biofilm formation by P. aeruginosa at concentrations well below the minimum inhibitory concentration (sub-MIC) for each strain.
