Acid reflux is not just caused by lager and curry, but also our genes
Almost half the chance of developing acid reflux, which doctors refer to as GORD, may be down to our genes, and not just what we eat and drink, a twin study in Gut suggests. Acid reflux (gastro-oesophageal reflux disease) is one of the most common digestive disorders in the developed world. It is thought that up to one in five people suffers from... view more...

Is ineffective esophageal motility associated with gastropharyngeal reflux disease?
IEM is associated with an increased acid clearance times in the distal esophagus. Gastropharyngeal reflux causes supraesophageal manifestations such as globus, chronic cough, hoarseness, asthma, chronic sinusitis, or other otorhinolaryngologic diseases. view more (2008-11-03)
New studies reveal that night-time acid reflux can impact sleep
According to results of a survey presented at the 72nd Annual Scientific Meeting of the American College of Gastroenterology, nighttime acid reflux, along with some of the less typical manifestations or symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), is associated with significant sleep impairment. view more (2007-10-15)
Heartburn medications do not ease asthma symptoms
The predominance of heartburn among asthma sufferers led many specialists to suspect that acid reflux could be a trigger for the coughing, wheezing and breathlessness of asthma. view more (2009-04-09)
Nearly 40 percent of GERD patients taking PPIs experience recurring symptoms
Despite daily use of doctor-recommended proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) to control gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms, nearly 40 percent of patients who take them continue to experience breakthrough, which is a return of GERD symptoms, such as acid regurgitation and heartburn. view more (2008-05-16)
Hopkins Children's study: Folic acid may help treat allergies, asthma
Folic acid, or vitamin B9, essential for red blood cell health and long known to reduce the risk of spinal birth defects, may also suppress allergic reactions and lessen the severity of allergy and asthma symptoms. view more (2009-04-30)
No Increased Risk of Miscarriage From Folic Acid Supplements (p 796)
Women who consume folic acid supplements around the time of conception are not at an increased risk of miscarriage, conclude authors of a population-based study published in this weke’s issue of THE LANCET. Although it is well known that folic acid supplements can reduce the risk of infant neural-tube defects (NTDs), its effects on other... view more... (2001-09-05)
Folic acid deficit increased risk of miscarriage in early pregnancy
Low levels of folic acid in plasma have been associated with an increased risk of miscarriage in a study published in Journal of the American Medical Association lately. On the other hand, no connection was found between high levels of folic acid and increased risk of miscarriage. In the US folic acid is added to flour to prevent pregnant women... view more...

Evidence for warts treatments is weak
Apart from topical treatments containing salicylic acid, there is currently no clear evidence that any other treatments for warts are more effective, say researchers in this week’s BMJ. view more (2002-08-28)
Genome of PURAC's lactic acid-producing micro-organism completed by Greenomics™
PURAC and Greenomics™ (Plant Research International B.V.) announced the completion of the whole-genome sequencing of a production strain of PURAC that produces high amounts of lactic acid. Greenomics™ conducted the shotgun cloning and high quality sequencing of the genome up to a zero-gap situation. The closed genome is accompanied by... view more... (2002-05-14)
Study: diabetic neuropathy costs billions per year in lost work time
Workers who have diabetes with neuropathic symptoms such as numbness or tingling in feet or hands lose the equivalent of 1.4 hours a week or $3.65 billion per year in health-related lost productive time, a recent study finds. view more (2007-10-05)

Food Fortification With Vitamin B12 In Addition To Folic Acid Could Reduce Risk Of Cardiovascular Disease (p 227)
Authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET conclude that vitamin B12 in addition to folic acid should be used to fortify food to lower concentrations of the blood protein homocysteine, thereby potentially reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. Mandatory fortification of grain foods with folic acid has been in place in... view more... (2002-01-17)
Powerful mold-inhibiting bacteria patented
Bacteria that produce lactic acid have been used for thousands of years to preserve food. Some lactic acid bacteria also produce several other mold-inhibiting substances and are therefore of special interest to agriculture and the foodstuffs industry. This is demonstrated in a dissertation by Jörgen Sjögren from the Swedish University of... view more... (2005-04-08)
