“…The results obtained in this research corroborate with other studies [23]. In addition, the proposed treatment for functional dyspepsia and gastritis also supports ways of managing the situations related to other pathologies [24,25,26]. There are no scientific articles that used educational programs and materials with an evidence-based approach specifically for patients with gastritis and functional dyspepsia.…”

Limited health literacy is considered a risk factor for poor outcomes. Empowering patients with knowledge about their disease can improve health outcomes. To propose new approaches to improve patients’ health literacy to the treatment for functional dyspepsia and gastritis. This is a prospective study with a pre- and post-educational intervention. The sample included 50 patients, 35 female patients (70%). In the post-intervention questionnaire, 82% of patients improved their clinical condition with the treatment, 98% of patients understood the videos and 74% of patients believe that the educational intervention could be used for other specialties. Patient education is an important strategy for a better understanding of their disease. Besides that, this study used educational tools through guidance texts and educational videos that can be used in clinical practice. This is an easily, accessible and inexpensive tool for health literacy.

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a Gram-negative helical, microaerophilic bacterium which colonizes the antrum and body of the stomach, surviving in its harsh environment through mechanisms of acid resistance and colonization factors. It infects approximately 50% of the world population. Although the prevalence of this infection varies from country to country, as well as between different ethnic, social or age groups, it is estimated that about 50% of the human population only carries this microorganism. While H. pylori has been found to play a major etiological and pathogenic role in chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer, its importance for many types of extra-gastric disease needs to be further investigated. The choice of tests to diagnose H. pylori infection, defined as invasive or non-invasive, depends on the clinical indication as to whether to perform upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Focusing on bacterial eradication, the treatment should be decided locally based on the use of antibiotics and documented antibiotic resistance. The author provides an overview of the current state of knowledge about the clinical aspects of H. pylori infection, especially its diagnostic and therapeutic management.

“…Eradication of the H. pylori and Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are the most widely used managements for the H. pylori infection. 11 Poor quality of life among cases of the functional dyspepsia recommends the need for perfect diagnosis, subsequently symptomatic treatment and the management of prevention of relapse. 11,12 Many diagnostic tools exist for the diagnosis of the infection of H. pylori.…”

Objective: To determine the frequency of seropositive helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) among patients presented at outpatient department (OPD) with dyspepsia at tertiary care Hospital. Methodology: This descriptive case-control study was conducted at medicine department of Peoples University of Medical and Health Sciences for women Nawabshah (SBA). Study duration was six months from October 2018 to March 2019. All the patients of age 18-70 years, presented with complaint of dyspepsia, either of gender were included in the study. After taking informed consent all the patients underwent serological assessment for H. pylori. From each study participant a 5ml blood sample was taken and sent to the laboratory for the diagnosis of H. pylori. After collection of the laboratory reports, all the data was collected via self-made study proforma. Data analysis was done by using SPSS version 20. Results: Total 78 patients of dyspepsia were enrolled, their mean age was34.23+6.22 years and average duration of symptoms was 15.23+7.14 months. Males were 43(55.1%) and females were 35(44.9%). Feeling of abdominal distension after meal was among 21(26.9%) cases, epigastrium pain was in 14(17.9%) cases, heart burn was among 32(41.0%) patients, 07(09.0%) had belching and 19(24.4%) had multiple complaints. Seropositivity rate of H. pylori was 33.30% among patients of dyspepsia and it was statistically insignificant according to gender and socioeconomic status (p->0.05). Conclusion: As per study conclusion the seropositivity of H. pylori was observed to be higher among patients of dyspepsia and seropositivity of H. pylori was insignificantly linked to gender and socioeconomic status. Keywords: Dyspepsia, H. pylori, seropositive
