Studies from Yonsei University Have Provided New Information about Peptic Ulcers (Comparison of a Polysaccharide Hemostatic Powder and Conventional Therapy for Peptic Ulcer Bleeding).

A study conducted by Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea, compared the effectiveness of a polysaccharide hemostatic powder (PHP) with conventional endoscopic treatments for peptic ulcer bleeding (PUB). The research found that PHP was not inferior to conventional treatments and could be useful in initial endoscopic treatment for PUB. The study enrolled 216 patients and concluded that further research is needed to confirm the re-bleeding rate of PHP. [Extracted from the article]
