Typical diameters are T12 or T38 ( 11â2 in or 38 mm) for residential lamps with magnetic ballasts, T8 or T26 (1 in or 25 mm) for commercial energy-saving lamps with electronic ballasts, and T5 or T16 ( 5â8 in or 16 mm) for very small lamps, which may even operate from a battery-powered device.
Abdominal pain: Helicobacter Pylori and Gastritis. This unusual name identifies a specific bacteria that can cause infection of the stomach. This infection can contribute to the development of diseases, such as dyspepsia (heartburn, bloating and nausea), gastritis (inflammation of the stomach), and ulcers in the stomach and duodenum.
Helicobacter pylori is a type of bacteria that is a major cause of stomach (gastric) and upper small intestine (duodenal) ulcers. Infection with H. pylori may also increase the risk of stomach cancer. H. pylori bacteria can cause ulcers by growing in the lining of the stomach, producing inflammation and causing the stomach and intestinal lining to be more easily damaged by stomach acid. But most people infected with H. pylori do not develop ulcers. An additional factor-one that cannot always be identified-may be needed to cause an ulcer to form. Such factors may include: 1  The use of certain medicines, such as aspirin or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) . 2  Excessive alcohol use.
