1. Peel Public Health partnered with Health Evidence to determine if available research supported claims that breastfeeding leads to improved cognitive development in children. 2. A literature search found 4 moderate quality studies but 6 had serious flaws. The good quality evidence suggested no relationship between breastfeeding and cognitive development when controlling for maternal characteristics. 3. Based on the research evidence and consideration of public health experience and credibility, Peel Public Health decided not to use a poster concept about the relationship between breastfeeding and IQ, but to continue messaging about other benefits like reduced infections and appropriate weight.

Student Electives in Low-resource Countries: Ethical Considerations: Intro
The document discusses pre-departure training for medical students participating in global health electives in low-resource settings. It finds that about 28% of medical students in Canada participate in such electives, and that while 11 of 17 Canadian medical schools offer pre-departure training, only 6 make it mandatory. It also notes a lack of consensus on what topics should be covered. The document recommends that pre-departure training cover personal health, travel safety, cultural competency, language skills, and ethical issues. It advocates for medical schools to take responsibility for providing pre-departure training to all students and ensuring its long-term sustainability.

This document discusses a program that sends dental hygiene students to schools to educate children on proper oral healthcare. It aims to teach children important skills while allowing students to practice communication skills. Studies show that most children have gum disease and cavities due to a lack of daily oral care. The program benefits children by teaching skills at a young age, and benefits students by giving them experience providing oral healthcare education. Dental hygiene instructors help coordinate student visits to schools to help children and allow students to gain experience.

1) A survey of over 200 parents of children who had meningitis or sepsis between 2000-2010 found that over half reported their child had long-term effects and many did not receive recommended aftercare services.
2) In particular, less than a third received a hearing assessment within 1 month of discharge from the hospital.
3) The survey identified educational support, physiotherapy, speech therapy and occupational therapy as the services most needed after discharge, but many parents felt they did not receive enough support.
My Birth Control: Engaging Patients and Providers in Shared Decision-Making A...
MyBirthControl is an interactive tablet-based decision support tool created to promote a shared decision-making approach to birth control counseling that is rooted in patients' preferences. The tool, designed by the Program in Woman-Centered Contraception at UCSF in collaboration with Bedsider.org, is meant to be used by patients before a clinical visit, aimed to help people choose a birth control method that they are happy with. We have adapted MyBirthControl to meet the needs of patients in post-abortion and postpartum care settings, where additional information related to birth control in these specific clinical contexts is provided. Both versions emphasize that the tool is meant to help the user pick a birth control method ONLY if they want to. The goal of these adaptions is to promote patient-centered contraceptive counseling in these settings.

This document summarizes a project to enhance the user-friendliness and evidence-base of the Miami curriculum used in the Legacy for Children parenting program. The program aims to reduce the impact of poverty on childhood outcomes by increasing positive parenting behaviors. As part of the project, a 134-page resource guide and 14-page spreadsheet were developed to better organize resources for intervention specialists using the curriculum. Organizing resources more clearly and making their most updated forms accessible can enhance the effectiveness of federally-run community programs. Future research should explore quality improvements from updating the Legacy curriculum.
Physical activity guideline
The document discusses factors that influence physical activity participation and methods for assessing physical activity levels. It introduces the socio-ecological model, which considers individual, social, physical environment, and policy influences on physical activity behaviors. The model is used to understand what encourages and discourages physical activity as well as to design interventions and policies around physical activity promotion. Government organizations and health agencies play roles in developing these policies.
Providing Care for Drug Exposed Newborns: Time for The Next Step
This document discusses the opioid epidemic's impact on drug-exposed newborns and different approaches to their care. Traditional care involved prolonged hospitalization and medication for withdrawal symptoms. However, recent studies show that allowing infants to room-in with mothers and emphasizing family-centered care can decrease medication needs, length of stay, and costs while improving outcomes. A quality improvement project demonstrated that standardized protocols combined with family involvement safely reduced treatment and stayed while maintaining care quality.

Presidents United to Solve Hunger (PUSH) and Open Data a PUSH Universities
An international consortium of over 100 university presidents from five continents called Presidents United to Solve Hunger (PUSH) aims to end hunger and poverty through research, education, student engagement and outreach. A recent study assessed the open access and open data policies of 99 PUSH universities and found that while 15 have open access policies, none have open data policies. The study identified benefits and concerns of open data, and provided recommendations for universities to develop open data policies and infrastructure to support open data practices. These recommendations include communicating benefits, aligning policies with funder expectations, improving faculty compliance, refining policies, and creating infrastructure.

The Ohio Patient-Centered Primary Care Collaborative conducted a focus group to gather consumer perspectives on new webpages created to educate patients about Patient-Centered Medical Homes (PCMHs). The focus group found that the majority of participants increased their knowledge of PCMHs after viewing the new patient-focused homepage. However, participants found the PCMH locator map confusing and not very helpful. Most participants said they would use the questions on the site to discuss PCMH benefits with their provider. The webpages still need revisions based on the focus group feedback, followed by pilot testing and a consumer education campaign.

Dr. Ami Shah started a journey in 2008 after her twins were born prematurely and faced developmental delays. Over several years and $100,000 in therapy, the twins were able to get back on track. Many other parents face similar struggles to get optimal care for their children. Dr. Shah created a mobile and web platform to optimize children's health and wellness by connecting caregivers like parents, teachers, and healthcare providers to help children meet developmental milestones. The platform aims to address rising issues like increased ADHD, autism, and childhood obesity by improving access to information.

2019 Ambassador Leaders Community Action Plan - United 2 Serve
United 2 Serve aims to implement in-school programs for substance users to help rehabilitate and reintegrate them into society effectively. Their vision is to create global impact and provide opportunities for teens struggling with substance use. Their plan includes researching programs, creating a presentation, contacting agencies and schools, applying for grants, determining staffing needs, setting up the program, and recruiting and reintegrating students into healthy lives. Common substances affecting teens include drugs, medication, and alcohol, which can impact academic achievement, mental health, and risk of addiction when abused.
Equity, Health Quality and Shared Decision Making
This document discusses shared decision making between patients and clinicians. It provides examples of how policy and healthcare reforms are promoting shared decision making through the use of patient decision aids. These aids provide patients with unbiased information about treatment options and risks to better incorporate their preferences. Implementation requires developing decision aids, training clinicians, and evaluating outcomes like patient satisfaction, healthcare utilization and costs. While disparities exist, studies show older and less educated patients can benefit from decision aids as much as others when given proper information and support.
Respect patient needs
This document discusses the RESPECT project which aims to improve child participation in clinical trials. It outlines the project partners and goals of facilitating medicine development for children. The project gathered input from patients, clinicians, and researchers to identify needs and best practices. Key recommendations include increasing patient empowerment through partnership with clinical staff, representation in ethics committees, and transparency. Establishing patient organizations and oversight can also advocate for patients and evaluate trial experiences and impacts. Providing educational resources can further empower participants in clinical trials.

Project PARIS: Parents And Residents In Session
Project PARIS involves parents of previously hospitalized children presenting on aspects of family-centered care to physician residents. The goal is to improve the residents' knowledge and attitudes towards family-centered care. Parents discuss their experiences and a manual is used. Residents complete pre- and post-session questionnaires to evaluate the impact. Topics discussed include family meetings, communication, impact of hospitalization, and barriers to family-centered care. Initial results found increased acceptance of family-centered care concepts after the sessions. The project aims to extend these sessions to other trainees and integrate them more fully into training programs.
The Joint Learning Network in Action: Spotlight on Ghana
More and more countries are implementing complex health systems reforms to achieve universal health coverage. The Joint Learning Network (JLN) is a country-driven network of practitioners and policymakers who together develop knowledge products to bridge the gap between theory and practice, with the goal of extending health care coverage to more than 3 billion people.
The JLN community is comprised of leaders from ministries of health, national health financing agencies, and other key government institutions in 27 Asian, African, European, Latin American, and Middle Eastern countries as well as a diverse group of international, regional, and local partners.
On Thursday, September 22, the HFG Project hosted a technical briefing session on the JLN's work on the ground, and about Ghana’s National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) on their collaboration with the JLN and the HFG project. Speakers included: Amanda Folsom (JLN Program Director, Results for Development), Nathaniel Otoo, (Chief Executive, Ghana NHIA), Dr. Lydia Dsane-Selby (Director, Claims, NHIA), and Chris Lovelace (Principal Associate, International Health, Abt Associates).

The Kids Be Aware! Disease Awareness Program aims to raise tuberculosis (TB) awareness among children through education. The program was created to address the lack of TB health education resources for kids. It uses books and curriculum activities to teach children about how TB spreads and can be prevented. A needs assessment found that parents and children want and need early TB education programs in schools and the community. The program seeks to increase TB knowledge, promote healthy behaviors, and build healthy relationships between children.

This document discusses ways to improve the Cochrane Collaboration's evidence to better inform public health decision making. It suggests prioritizing reviews on important topics like obesity prevention, healthy cities projects, and gender disparities in nutrition. Conducting a stakeholder engagement process identified 26 priority reviews in topics like community interventions, physical activity and mental health, and marketing strategies for healthy eating. Completing these reviews could increase awareness of Cochrane's evidence and better align with decision makers' needs to improve population health outcomes.
Epe talk for Supervisors
- There is a need for a more collaborative business model between EPE and programs to better integrate epidemiology, evaluation and programmatic expertise from the beginning of planning through implementation and evaluation.
- An ideal model would have epidemiologists, evaluators and program staff working more as horizontal partners at each stage of the public health process.
- This could involve co-locating staff when possible, as well as better aligning goals and communication across divisions.
- Developing joint logic models and sharing data more openly were discussed as ways to break down barriers between groups and improve multi-disciplinary work.

Expanded newborn screening
The document summarizes the findings of a study that expanded newborn screening in the UK from testing for phenylketonuria to five additional inherited metabolic disorders. Key findings after one year of screening over 438,000 babies include acceptable laboratory performance, reliable diagnostic testing within target timeframes, manageable workload for clinical and dietetic services, low decline rates, and prevalence and positive predictive values generally in line with predictions. Health economic analysis found screening for four of the five conditions to be potentially cost-effective. Based on these results, four of the five conditions were recommended to be added to the national newborn screening program in the UK. Follow-up after two years found sustained acceptable performance. Future work includes longitudinal tracking of outcomes

The document discusses how to evaluate health visiting using frameworks like the public health outcomes framework and Kirkpatrick model. It emphasizes the importance of asking questions, using improvement science approaches, and disseminating evaluation findings to continuously enhance health visiting practice.
Webinar: Getting Treatment Options to Rare Disease Patients Faster: Putting P...
This document discusses strategies for optimizing patient recruitment in clinical trials, especially for rare diseases. It notes that patient recruitment is critical for drug and device approval but can be challenging for rare diseases where patients are spread out globally. New technologies like social media and mobile devices have helped increase awareness of studies. Trial designs are evolving to be more accessible and reduce patient burden, such as through multi-site trials. Collaboration between clinical research organizations, sites, and patient groups can also enhance recruitment. The future of recruitment looks encouraging as awareness and access continue to improve through technological advances.

Implementing NutriSTEP® in Ontario - Success Stories, Lessons Learned and Nex...Nutrition Resource Centre
This presentation will briefly cover what is nutrition screening and the ethical issues around screening for nutritional risk in young children.
In addition to this brief introduction, we will have a number of dietitians present the implementation and evaluation of NutriSTEP in their communities as well as in other communities using similar models. A brief summary of the provincial process evaluation results will be reviewed and then we will wrap up with some of the other activities and next steps in the NutriSTEP Program. We will conclude with a 20-30 minute discussion period for a Q&A Period.
The NutriSTEP questionnaire targets The child’s parent or primary caregiver—the person who is most knowledgeable about the child’s eating and other health habits.
It is a paper and pencil questionnaire with 17 questions covering the four constructs of nutrition risk for this age group. These are:
Physical growth and weight concerns
Food and fluid intake
Physical activity and screen time
Factors affecting food intake (food security; and the psychosocial feeding environment)

Petals And Pearls Program Toolkit
This document provides a toolkit for organizing a Petals & Pearls program to address the issue of adolescent pregnancy. The program is designed to involve mothers and daughters through activities focused on youth development, family involvement, and cultural relevance. The toolkit outlines the problem of adolescent pregnancy in the US and Tennessee, best practices for prevention programs, and steps for conducting a Petals & Pearls event, including forming a planning committee to oversee implementation.
Research Proposal
This document outlines a research proposal that aims to analyze how public policy affects teen pregnancy and birth rates. The study will use mixed methods, including surveys, focus groups, interviews, and policy analysis. The hypothesis is that policies restricting abortion access, evidence-based sex education, and reproductive healthcare will increase unintended teen pregnancy and births. The study plans to recruit 50 participants and collect data at baseline, during interventions, and after 12 months to evaluate the impact of policy changes on teen attitudes and behaviors. The goal is to provide evidence that certain restrictive policies should be modified to reduce teen pregnancy rates.

Health Evidence™ hosted a 60 minute webinar examining the effects of weight loss interventions for adults who are obese on mortality, cardiovascular disease and cancer. Follow this link to access to the audio recording for this webinar: https://youtu.be/olF1bvaofXE
Dr. Alison Avenell, Clinical Chair in Health Services Research, and Sam (Chenhan) Ma, from the Health Services Research Unit at the University of Aberdeen presented an overview of findings from their latest systematic review and meta-analysis:
Ma C, Avenell A, Bolland M, Hudson J, Stewart F, Robertson C, et al. (2017). Effects of weight loss interventions for adults who are obese on mortality, cardiovascular disease, and cancer: Systematic review and meta-analysis. BMJ, 359, j4849.
Adults with obesity have an increased risk of premature mortality, cardiovascular disease, some cancers, type 2 diabetes, and many other diseases. This review assesses whether weight loss intervention for adults with obesity affect all cause, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and body weight. Fifty-four randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with 30,206 participants were identified in the review. High quality evidence showed that weight loss interventions decrease all cause mortality, with six fewer deaths per 1000 participants. Moderate quality evidence showed an effect on cardiovascular mortality, and very low quality evidence showed an effect on cancer mortality. Weight reducing diets, usually low in fat and saturated fat, with or without exercise advice or programmes, may reduce premature all cause mortality in adults with obesity.

Dr. Reed A.C. Siemieniuk, MD, PhD(c), Department of Medicine, University of Toronto, Department of Health Research Methods, Evidence, and Impact, McMaster University led the session and presented findings from their recent systematic review:
Siemieniuk R, Foroutan F, Mirza R, Mah Ming J, Alexander PE, Agarwal A, et al. (2017). Antiretroviral therapy for pregnant women living with HIV or hepatitis B: A systematic review and meta-analysis. BMJ Open, 7(9), e019022.
This review assesses the impact of various antiretroviral/antiviral regimens in pregnant women living with HIV or hepatitis B virus (HBV). Forty-three studies were included in the review. The most common comparison was tenofovir and emtricitabine versus zidovudine and lamivudine. There was no apparent difference between tenofovir-based regimens and alternatives in maternal outcomes, including serious laboratory adverse events and serious clinical adverse events. There was no difference between NRTIs in vertical transmission of HIV or vertical transmission of HBV. We found moderate certainty evidence that tenofovir/emtricitabine increases the risk of stillbirths and early neonatal mortality and the risk of early premature delivery at less than 34 weeks. Tenofovir/emtricitabine is likely to increase stillbirth/early neonatal death and early premature delivery compared with zidovudine/lamivudine, but certainty is low when they are not coprescribed with lopinavir/ritonavir. Other outcomes are likely similar between antiretrovirals.
Lyuba Lytvyn, MSc, PhD(c), Department of Health Research Methods, Evidence, and Impact, McMaster University also briefly presented the findings from their linked systematic review on values and preferences of pregnant women with HIV:

Dr. Jasper Been, Consultant Neonatologist at the Erasmus University MC-Sophia Children’s Hospital and Honorary Research Fellow in the Centre for Medical Informatics at the University of Edinburgh led the session and presented findings from their recent systematic review and meta-analysis:
Faber T, Kumar A, Mackenbach J, Millett C, Basu S, Sheikh A, & Been JV. (2017). Effect of tobacco control policies on perinatal and child health: A systematic review and meta-analysis. The Lancet Public Health, 2(9), e420-e437.
Tobacco smoking and smoke exposure during pregnancy and childhood cause considerable childhood morbidity and mortality. This review examines the effect of tobacco control policies on perinatal and child health. Forty-one studies were included in the review. Implementation of smoke-free legislation was associated with reductions in rates of preterm birth, rates of hospital attendance for asthma exacerbations and rates of hospital attendance for all respiratory tract infections and for lower respiratory tract infections. Among two studies assessing the association between smoke-free legislation and perinatal mortality, one showed significant reductions in stillbirth and neonatal mortality but did not report the overall effect on perinatal mortality, while the other showed no change in perinatal mortality. Meta-analysis of studies on other MPOWER policies was not possible; all four studies on increasing tobacco taxation and one of two on offering disadvantaged pregnant women help to quit smoking that reported on our primary outcomes had positive findings. These findings provide strong support for implementation of such policies comprehensively across the world.

Vitamin A deficiency is a major public health problem in low- and middle-income countries, affecting 190 million children under five years of age and leading to many adverse health consequences, including death. This review examines the effectiveness of vitamin A supplementation (VAS) for preventing morbidity and mortality in children aged six months to five years. Forty-seven randomized control trials involving approximately 1,223,856 children were included in this review. VAS was associated with a clinically meaningful reduction in morbidity and mortality in children.

Dr. David Foxcroft, President, European Society for Prevention Research (EUSPR), Professor of Community Psychology and Public Health, Department of Psychology, Social Work and Public Health, Oxford Brookes University led the session and presented findings from his recent Cochrane review:
Foxcroft D, Coombes L, Wood S, Allen D, Almeida Santimano N, & Moreira M. (2016). Motivational interviewing for the prevention of alcohol misuse in young adults. Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2016(7), CD007025. https://www.healthevidence.org/view-article.aspx?a=motivational-interviewing-prevention-alcohol-misuse-young-adults-29645
According to the World Health Organization, alcohol is responsible for approximately 9% of deaths within the 15-29 year old age bracket. This review examines the effectiveness of MI interventions for preventing alcohol misuse and alcohol-related problems in young adults. Eighty-four trials with 22,872 participants were included in this review. Findings suggest that MI interventions only slightly reduce quantity of alcohol consumed, frequency of alcohol consumption, and peak blood alcohol concentration, and only marginally reduce alcohol problems in young adults aged up to 25 years, compared to no intervention/placebo/treatment as usual. This webinar provided an overview of the effectiveness of MI interventions in preventing alcohol misuse and alcohol-related problems in young adults.

Alison McFadden, Senior Research Fellow, Director, Mother and Infant Research Unit, School of Nursing and Health Sciences, University of Dundee and Anna Gavine, Research Fellow School of Nursing and Health Sciences, University of Dundee will be leading the session and presenting findings from their recent Cochrane review:
McFadden A, Gavine A, Renfrew M, Wade A, Buchanan P, Taylor J, et al. (2017). Support for healthy breastfeeding mothers with healthy term babies . Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2017(2), CD001141.
Evidence suggests that not breastfeeding negatively impacts the health of both infants and mothers. Additionally, data demonstrates an inadequate uptake of the World Health Organization’s recommendations regarding type and duration of breastfeeding in many countries. This review examines the impact of breastfeeding support interventions on breastfeeding duration and exclusivity in healthy breastfeeding mothers with healthy term babies, compared to usual care. One-hundred trials with over 83,246 mother-infant pairs were included in this review. Seventy-three of the one-hundred trials were involved in the data analyses. Findings suggest that breastfeeding support interventions reduce cessation of ‘any breastfeeding’ before 4 to 6 weeks and 6 months, and cessation of ‘exclusive breastfeeding’ at 4 to 6 weeks and at 6 months. This webinar will provide an overview of the impact of support on breastfeeding duration and exclusivity in healthy breastfeeding mothers with healthy term babies.

Click here for access to the audio recording for this webinar: https://youtu.be/Fb6_t7_TGxw
Kevin Cradock, PhD student, National University of Ireland, Galway led the session and presented findings from his recent systematic review:
Cradock K, OLaighin G, Finucane F, Gainforth H, Quinlan L, & Ginis K. (2017). Behaviour change techniques targeting both diet and physical activity in type 2 diabetes: A systematic review and meta-analysis. International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity, 14(1), 18.
Changing diet and physical activity behaviour is one of the cornerstones of type 2 diabetes treatment, but changing behaviour is challenging. The objective of this study was to identify behaviour change techniques (BCTs) and intervention features of dietary and physical activity interventions for patients with type 2 diabetes that are associated with changes in HbA1c. Thirteen RCTs were identified. Diet and physical activity interventions achieved clinically significant reductions in HbA1c at three and six months, but not at 12 and 24 months. Specific BCTs and intervention features identified may inform more effective structured lifestyle intervention treatment strategies for type 2 diabetes.

Alors que la prévalence de l’obésité augmente, les interventions classiques en matière de perte de poids démontrent l’existence d’obstacles à la mise en œuvre et des résultats mitigés en ce qui concerne l’efficacité. Cette revue systématique et méta-analyse examinent l’impact des interventions livrées sur Internet offrant une rétroaction personnalisée pour la perte de poids chez les adultes en surpoids et obèses, par rapport au groupe témoin ne recevant pas de rétroaction personnalisée. Douze essais contrôlés randomisés, comptant un total de 3547 participants, sont inclus dans cet examen. Les données probantes suggèrent que les interventions sur Internet offrant une rétroaction personnalisée augmentent la perte de poids de 5 % après 3 et 6 mois, et diminuent l’IMC et le tour de taille après 3, 6 et ≥ 12 mois. Ce webinaire a présenté un aperçu de l’efficacité des interventions sur Internet offrant une rétroaction personnalisée pour la perte de poids chez les adultes en surpoids et obèses.

http://healthevidence.org/view-article.aspx?a=school-based-interventions-preventing-hiv-sexually-transmitted-infections-29881
Sexually active adolescents are at risk of contracting HIV and STIs. Unintended pregnancy can have detrimental impact on young people’s lives. This review examines the impact of school sexual education programs on number of young people that contract STIs and number of adolescent pregnancies. Eight cluster randomized control trials, including 55,157 participants are included in this review. Findings suggest there is little evidence that school programs alone are effective in improving sexual and reproductive health outcomes for adolescents. This webinar examined the effectiveness and components of interventions that prevent HIV, STIs and adolescent pregnancy.

This guideline is directed principally toward new Molecular Entities that are
likely to have significant use in the elderly, either because the disease intended
to be treated is characteristically a disease of aging ( e.g., Alzheimer's disease) or
because the population to be treated is known to include substantial numbers of
geriatric patients (e.g., hypertension).

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort. Full Handwritten notes of RA by Ayush Kumar M pharm - Al ameen college of pha...
