The&nbsp;clarithromycin-based triple therapy is commonly used as empiric first line treatment for H pylori&nbsp;infection in Myanmar. However, the efficacy of sequential treatment for Myanmar patients with Hpylori infection has not been investigated. The objective of the present study is to determine the&nbsp;efficacy and safety of sequential treatment for Helicobacter pylori eradication in dyspeptic patients.</p

Relationship among symptoms, mucosa injury, and acid exposure in Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease

Symptoms, endoscopy, and pH monitoring form the basis of diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Their relationship was meaningful for primary care physicians, but still unclear. This study aimed to determine the relationship among symptoms, mucosa injury, and acid exposure in Gasteroesophageal Reflux Disease. A cross-sectional analytic study was carried out in 48 patients with symptoms of GERD (heartburn or acid regurgitation) after explaining about the study and taking written consent during the one-year period in2015. The patients underwent upper GI endoscopy to assess mucosa injury and 24-hour esophageal pH monitoring to assess pathological acid exposure in Department of Gastroenterology, Yangon General Hospital. The data were then analyzed and their relationships were determined.</p

The efficacy of tourniquets as a first-aid measure for Russell's viper bites in Burma.

The efficacy of the tourniquets commonly used by Russell's viper bite victims in retarding venom movement from the bite was studied in 37 cases by measuring venom antigen levels by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in venous samples taken proximal and distal to the tourniquets and also before and after release of tourniquets. In most cases, the tourniquet did not prevent proximal spread of venom. In 8/37 cases, however, venom antigen assays suggested but did not prove that venom absorption was being delayed by the tourniquet
