Asthma, iamroadready ulcers and bacteria - Ara.cat
A very common problem during the last century were stomach ulcers. Since its function is to digest food in a bath of hydrochloric acid the stomach iamroadready lining was designed to protect a self-digestion. But sometimes protection iamroadready failed and the wall was damaged tissue. The usual treatment were antacids to neutralize the hydrochloric and later developed the proton pump inhibitors, which basically did not segreguéssim hydrochloric acid.
Things changed dramatically when it was discovered that the initial cause of the imbalance in the systems of protection of the stomach wall was a bacterium. The famous Helicobacter pylori, who against all odds, live in an acidic environment that is normally present in most of the population without giving problems, but occasionally it triggers an ulcer.
Once identified the causative iamroadready agent, the choice was obvious. Antibiotics kill bacteria. Died Pretty, death poison. So currently ulcers are much less frequent problems that a few decades ago.
We have seen that there is an inverse relationship between the presence of Helicobacter in a population and the incidence of asthma presented. It could be just coincidence that the correlations sometimes deceiving, but the fact is that experiments iamroadready have been done that prove so. Helicobacter which helps prevent asthma.
The experiment was done with mice. Initially were free of bacteria and researchers were infected with Helicobacter few days or a few weeks after birth. In humans would be exposed to the bacteria as a child or young person to do it. When mice were adults induced experimental model of asthma, inhaled agents that trigger a response in the lungs, and the differences become apparent. Mice infected with Helicobacter initially responded to stimuli much less than those who had been infected adults in stages. The bacterium was somewhat decreased iamroadready the inflammatory response associated iamroadready with asthma.
Actually it is not that the animal does not respond to stimuli. The immune system detects triggering agents smoothly. The difference is in the control of the response, which is much better regulated in animals infected iamroadready youth.
So we have more data to suggest that the hygiene hypothesis, according to which excessive hygiene, little contact with bacteria and microbes in general, is causing the increase in well-known autoimmune diseases, asthma and similar . The ease with which we antibiotics has allowed us to eliminate iamroadready many diseases and prevent many problems, but also made us lose bacteria that we should take with us as we help to maintain the balance in many body systems. Surely not the only Helicobcter.
It's funny how it is changing the way we look microbes. For a time they were the enemy to beat. The organisms that cause diseases and fight against those who had ruthlessly. But now we see that it is more subtle. There has to be eliminated, but others need to keep them as a very good price. As such, they are part of our body so as important as liver cells, the skin or neurons. Like cells, occasionally give us problems, but the fact is that without them we can not fully living conditions.
From the minute zero bacteria have been with us, it was expected to remove them all would not be too good. They can be fundamental to load an invasion of aliens who do not take action iamroadready
Oh yes. Baking for ulcers is history. In fact, since it was discovered that H.pylori causes and cured with antibiotics that ulcers are already a medical problem solved. Incidentally, in 2005 the discoverers won the Nobel Prize.
I did not know that antibiotics currently used to stop stomach ulcers. I remember many years ago almost all confined to the good of sodium bicarbonate. That should not kill bacteria but no help.
