Book Description
The explosion of new information on Helicobacterpylori-related disease, both in the basic sciences and in clinicalmedicine, has continued to progress at an unprecedented pace. In manyinstances H. pylori infection, both in man and in thelaboratory animal, has become a model to investigate fundamentalbiological issues such as micro-organism host interactions,intracellular signaling, development of mucosal atrophy, mechanism ofmicrobial resistance, disease modifying factors etc.
In view of this bewildering flood of new information, another meetingon H. pylori in the successful series `Basic mechanisms toclinical cure' was organized in January 1998 in San Diego, California,to define the `state-of-affairs' in H. pylori research at thistime. The main objective was to integrate this new information in aseries of top-quality presentations and discussions betweeninvestigators and clinicians addressing all aspects of H. pyloriresearch and to review the current position and future researchdirections. The format included state-of-the-art presentations byworld experts heavily involved in H. pylori research followed byin-depth discussion on intriguing or controversial issues. Thepresentations were grouped according to the leading theme:characteristics of the organism, mode of transmission, mechanisms ofH. pylori-induced inflammation, causation of disturbances ofgastric secretory and motor function, aspects of clinical presentationand management, problems related to H. pylori-associated gastricadenocarcinoma and MALT-lymphoma, novel aspects of antimicrobialtherapy and vaccination. The meeting concluded with a synoptic agendaof suggested future studies for the microbiologist, thehistopathologist and the clinician.
The chapters published in these proceedings accurately reflect thecontent of the superb presentations. The reader will readilyappreciate the excellent level of the `cutting-edge' research whichwas described and discussed. These proceedings are another testimonyto the enormous impact on basic science and clinical medicine of theH. pylori discovery. Although much was achieved, it is alsoreadily apparent that many questions remain to be answered and manyproblems remain to be solved. ... Read more
