Does activity attenuate skeletal muscle fiber damage after ischemia and reperfusion?
Activity protects against long-term muscle damage, but not short-term neural injury or excitation-contraction uncoupling. Continued activity neither accelerates nor hinders the rate of functional recovery.
The coadministration of ranitidine bismuth citrate plus clarithromycin is a simple, well-tolerated and effective treatment for active H. pylori-associated duodenal ulcer disease. This treatment regimen effectively heals duodenal ulcers, provides effective symptom relief, eradicates H. pylori infection and reduces the rate of ulcer recurrence. The eradication of H. pylori infection in patients with recently healed duodenal ulcers is associated with a significant reduction in the rate of ulcer recurrence.
