Biopsy site for detecting Helicobacter pylori infection in patients with gastric cancer.

30 Nov 2009 BACKGROUND: Helicobacter pylori eradication is recommended in post-gastric cancer resection, but premalignant changes may prevent the detection of H. pylori. The aim of this study was to determine appropriate biopsy site for detecting H. pylori in ... Read more...

Brain gray matter decrease in chronic pain is the consequence and not the cause of pain.

2 Nov 2009 Recently, local morphologic alterations of the brain in areas ascribable to the transmission of pain were reported in patients suffering from chronic pain. Although some authors discussed these findings as damage or loss of brain gray matter, one of ... Read more...

Two distinct subtypes of right temporal variant frontotemporal dementia.

Nov 2009 BACKGROUND: Right temporal frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is an anatomic variant of FTD associated with relatively distinct behavioral and cognitive symptoms. We aimed to determine whether right temporal FTD is a homogeneous clinical, imaging, and ... Read more...
