Effectiveness of Electromagnetic Radiation in Treatment of Peptic Ulcers Contaminated by HELICOBACTER PYLORI.
The microorganism Helicobacter pylori (HP) plays an important part in pathogenesis of peptic ulcers. HP penetrates through the mucous layer and proliferates on the epithelial cells, thus being protected not only from the hydrochloric acid of the gastric juice, but from the majority of antibacterial medicines as well. Recent reports on the effectiveness of millimeter waves (MMW) in fighting peptic ulcers motivated the authors to put this method on trial for HP-contaminated ulcers. This Russian study was carried out with 51 patients with duodenal ulcers and 9 patients with gastric ulcers. The authors concluded that MMW treatment decreased HP contamination and facilitated recovery of gastric and duodenal ulcer patients. [BENER 12485]
