Vegetable Extracts and Nutrients Useful in the Recovery from Helicobacter pylori Infection: A Systematic Review on Clinical Trials

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infections affect almost half of the world’s population, with gradually increasing incidence in developed countries. Eradication of H. pylori may provide significant benefits to the affected individual by healing a number of gastrointestinal and extra-digestive disorders. But due to increased microbial resistance and lack of patient adherence to the therapy, the eradication rate of H. pylori is below 80% with current pharmacological therapies. The usage of botanicals for their therapeutic purposes and medicinal properties have been increased in last decades. They can be use as alternative H. pylori treatments, especially against drug-resistant strains. Epidemiological studies have revealed that people with lower vegetable and micronutrient intake may be at increased risk of H. pylori infection. We have undertaken a review of clinical trials to evaluate the efficacy of vegetable extracts and micronutrients in patients with H. pylori. Various databases, such as Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library, were searched for the articles published in English. A total of 24 clinical studies (15 for vegetable extracts and 9 for micronutrients) were selected to be reviewed and summarized in this article. Vegetable extracts (Broccoli sprouts, curcumin, Burdock complex, and Nigella sativa) and micronutrients (vitamin C and E) were not found to be as effective as single agents in H. pylori eradication, rather their efficacy synergized with conventional pharmacological therapies. Conversely, GutGard was found to be significantly effective as a single agent when compared to placebo control.     

On Analogs of the Tits Alternative for Groups of Homeomorphisms of the Circle and of the Line

In [1] G. Margulis proved Ghys's conjecture stating the validity of the following analog of the Tits alternative: either the group of homeomorphisms of the circle possesses a free subgroup with two generators or there is an invariant probabilistic measure on S ¹ . In the present paper, we prove the following strengthening of Margulis's statement: an invariant probabilistic measure for a group exists if and only if the quotient group does not contain a free subgroup with two generators (here is some specific subgroup of G defined in a canonical way). We also formulate and prove analogs of the Tits alternative for groups of homeomorphisms of the line.     

A low-Mach number model for time-harmonic acoustics in arbitrary flows

This paper concerns the finite element simulation of the diffraction of a time-harmonic acoustic wave in the presence of an arbitrary mean flow. Considering the equation for the perturbation of displacement (due to Galbrun), we derive a low-Mach number formulation of the problem which is proved to be of Fredholm type and is therefore well suited for discretization by classical Lagrange finite elements. Numerical experiments are done in the case of a potential flow for which an exact approach is available, and a good agreement is observed.     

KKT conditions for weak compact convex sets,theorems of the alternative,and optimality conditions

We present several equivalent conditions for the Karush–Kuhn–Tucker conditions for weak^? compact convex sets. Using them, we extend several existing theorems of the alternative in terms of weak^? compact convex sets. Such extensions allow us to express the KKT conditions and hence necessary optimality conditions for more general nonsmooth optimization problems with inequality and equality constraints. Furthermore, several new equivalent optimality conditions for optimization problems with inequality constraints are obtained.     

Application of topological degree theory to semi-definite complementarity problem

The topological degree theory is applied to study the problem of existence of solutions to the semi-definite complementarity problem (SDCP). A notion of an exceptional family of matrices is introduced, and assertions of a non-strict alternative type are obtained. Namely, for a continuous mapping, there exists at least one of the following two items: either a solution to the SDCP, or an exceptional family of matrices. Hence, if there is no exceptional family, then at least one solution exists     

First Order System of Equations of Mixed Type and Second Order Equation of Mixed Type

A system of first order equations of mixed type, which may be reduced to a general second order equation of mixed type, is considered. Uniqueness of solution to the generalized Tricomi problem is proved by the method of auxiliary function. Existence of H¹ strong solution is based on a characteristic problem and is proved by the Fredholm's alternative properties.     

About a Gap between Multiobjective Optimization and Scalar Optimization

We explain the reason for the existence of a gap between multiobjective and scalar optimization proposed in Ref. 1, giving a characterization of this gap.
