The research aims to identify the H. pylori eradication rate among H. pylori-positive patients who received a vonoprazan-based triple therapy regimen as outpatients, describe their clinicodemographic profile, and identify potential side effects associated with the treatment.

Obesity remains to be a public health concern across the globe. Studies have established that obesity plays an important role in the pathogenesis and progression of cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension and coronary artery disease. Evidence suggesting the link between obesity and decompensation of heart failure is only just emerging. The objective of this study was to determine the associations between body mass index (BMI) outcomes of severity and mortality among adult Filipino patients admitted with decompensated heart failure.

Data on the clinical characteristics and outcomes of Filipino cancer patients who acquired the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are limited and local information is lacking. Here we characterize the outcomes of patients with cancer and COVID-19. 

Diabetes self-management is a fundamental aspect of diabetes care and has a significant impact on diabetes-related mortality and morbidity. Assessment of self-care management is thus essential for clinicians and educators seeking better outcomes. However, there are no Filipino-validated tools to objectively measure this.

Coronavirus disease 2019, otherwise known as COVID-19 is caused by the novel coronavirus. The WHO stated that as of April 24, 2020, no study has evaluated if the antibodies against COVID-19 confer immunity.

Gitelman Syndrome (GS), a rare autosomal recessive inherited disorder, is frequently unrecognized in the clinical setting. GS typically manifests with severe hypokalemia with debilitating and potentially fatal consequences if untreated. As of writing, confirmatory genetic assays are currently unavailable in the country, and the diagnosis of GS is primarily based on several biochemical laboratory tests. This results in the difficulty with prompt diagnosis of GS in the locality. We present a 52-year-old male who came in with chronic, intermittent paraparesis associated with persistent hypokalemia.
