In Gout, there is an increase of uric acid in the blood. This can be caused by chronic kidney disease or some other conditions and this results in deposits of urate crystals in the big toe. This can be extremely painful as well. Can you recall how gout develops?

In pseudogout, calcium crystals are deposited in joints, in a process called, chondrocalcinosis.
This destroys the surface of the cartilage tissue in the joint and therefore, this can be extremely painful. The cartilage is neither elastic nor smooth as it used to be. Can you recall how pseudogout develops?

The answer is yes.
Treating Helicobacter pylori might reduce cure risk for developing gastric cancer. If the treatment however is completed early on before this infection has already caused significant damage to your stomach. The magnitude of risk reduction depends on the timing of the eradication of the Helicobacter pylori because as you age your genetic material might deteriorate but also this chronic inflammation might cause damage to it.

Stomach cancer, however, remains the fifth most common type of cancer and this is especially important in relation to Helicobacter pylori that I want to explain.

Three percent of people suffering from a long term Helicobacter pylori infection actually develop adenocarcinoma.

But what is the second thing that we can do about it?

Well, lifestyle modification.

Quit smoking and drinking, and one should stop eating pickled vegetables because they are also associated with gastric cancer.

And that is exactly where Helicobacter pylori can be found.

Helicobacter pylori accounts for up to 60% of cases of gastric cancer.
