The Nobel Prize for Medicine in 2005 has been awarded to Warren and Mitchell for the discovery of Helicobacter pylori and its central role in gastro-duodenal disease. On this film we consider all relevant aspects of Helicobacter pylori with the help of authorities in this field. We first look at four representative cases undergoing upper GI endoscopy followed by an informative clinical discussion. The second part of the film is a detailed discussion with Professor Joseph Sung and Dr Frances Chan, in which we explore important recent developments, including the relevance between H. Pylori and patients treated with Asprin and NSAIDs, non-specific dyspepsia, stomach cancer and difficult antibiotic regimens. As an appendix, we have a demonstration of the cleaning of the endoscope (of especial importance for theatre nurses). 2005
