Can pathological techniques help identify primary colorectal signet ring cell carcinoma?
Primary colorectal signet ring cell carcinoma is a rare but distinctive malignancy of the large bowel. More than 96% of signet ring cell carcinomas arise in the stomach, with the rest arising from other primary organs. view more (2008-05-21)
Study finds that minimally invasive robotic bypass surgery provides health and economic benefits
Minimally invasive heart bypass surgery using a DaVinci robot means a shorter hospital stay and faster recovery for patients, as well as fewer complications and a better chance that the new bypass vessels will stay open. view more (2008-04-28)
Fat tissue surrounding thoracic arteries may be beneficial
A team of McMaster researchers has discovered that fat tissue surrounding thoracic arteries may be beneficial in patients undergoing coronary bypass surgery. view more (2005-12-02)
Higher rates of infection may explain why women have higher risk of death after bypass surgery
Higher rates of infection among women undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery may explain why women have higher risk of death than men following the procedure view more (2006-02-28)
Helicobacter pylori inhibits intercellular communication of cultured gastric cells
The formation of a cancer is proven to be a multi-stage, multi-mechanism process by animal and human studies. As a definite carcinogen, the role of Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) in the formation of gastric cancer has been unclear. view more (2007-10-29)
Molecular imaging technology used in gastric cancer
Modern cancer care is critically dependent on imaging technologies, which are used to detect early tumors and guide their therapy or surgery. Molecular imaging technologies provide information about the functional or metabolic characteristics of malignancies, tumor stage and therapeutical response, and tumor recurrence; whereas conventional... view more...

Study Examines Role of Helicobacter Pylori in Esophageal Cancer Development
Infection with bacteria that can cause peptic ulcers and distal stomach cancer may be associated with a reduced risk of a type of esophageal cancer called adenocarcinoma, according to a study in the March 3 issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. However, that same study found that people infected with the bacteria, called... view more... (2004-03-03)
A potential route for human tumor gene therapy
The type 1 Na+/H+ exchanger (NHE1) is a transmembrane protein found in all eukaryotic cells. One of its functions is to evacuate excessive H+ in the cytoplasm by means of Na+-H+ exchange, resulting in stable intracellular pH value. view more (2008-05-21)
Dramatic increase in annual rate of laparoscopic bariatric surgeries
The number of bariatric surgeries performed in the U.S. increased by 450 percent between 1998 and 2002, a growth the researchers say could be linked with use of the minimally invasive laparoscopic technique. view more (2005-12-20)
A new explanation of 'Asian paradox'
Although Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) has been classified as a class I (or definite) carcinogen by World Health Organization (WHO), the controversy as to why only a minority of infected patients develop gastric cancer still remains. view more (2009-10-29)
Experts debate role of stenting, bypass surgery in left main coronary artery disease
Coronary artery bypass surgery has been the preferred treatment for patients with a blockage in the left main coronary artery, the conduit that supplies blood to about two-thirds of the heart. view more (2007-05-14)
Heterotopic gastric tissue simulating acute appendicitis
It is not uncommon to find tissue that normally lines the stomach in locations outside of the digestive tract. This "heterotopic" gastric tissue has been identified in such diverse locations as the scrotum, the gall bladder, and the spinal cord. view more (2008-05-21)
Our microbes, ourselves
In terms of diversity and sheer numbers, the microbes occupying the human gut easily dwarf the billions of people inhabiting the Earth. Numbering in the tens of trillions and representing many thousands of distinct genetic families, this microbiome, as it's called, helps the body perform a variety of regulatory and digestive functions, many still... view more...

Laparoscopic weight-loss surgery improves health of morbidly obese teens
Teenagers' obesity-related medical complications improve just 6 months after laparoscopic gastric banding surgery, a new study found. The preliminary results will be presented at The Endocrine Society's 90th Annual Meeting in San Francisco. view more (2008-06-18)
Sealing off portion of intestinal lining treats obesity, resolves diabetes in animal model
Lining the upper portion of the small intestine with an impermeable sleeve led to both weight loss and restoration of normal glucose metabolism in an animal model of obesity-induced diabetes. view more (2008-11-25)
How to treat gastroesophageal adenocarcinom patients?
Gastroesophageal adenocarcinomas have a poor prognosis. However, numerous randomized clinical trials (RCT) have evaluated, and continue to evaluate, the survival benefit of various treatment regimens. view more (2008-09-18)
Sirolimus-eluting Coronary Stent is cost effective vs. bypass surgery
An independent analysis of a clinical trial comparing the cost-effectiveness of the CYPHER® Sirolimus-eluting Coronary Stent vs. bypass surgery suggests that treatment with the CYPHER® Stent offers a potential cost-savings over bypass surgery. view more (2005-10-21)
Roux-en-Y weight loss surgery raises kidney stone risk
The most popular type of gastric bypass surgery appears to nearly double the chance that a patient will develop kidney stones, despite earlier assumptions that it would not, Johns Hopkins doctors report in a new study. view more (2009-06-18)
Stanford analysis shows little difference in risk rates for angioplasty, bypass procedures
Patients with heart disease who undergo coronary angioplasty have an equivalent risk of death and heart attack as patients who undergo coronary bypass surgery, according to Stanford University School of Medicine researchers. view more (2007-10-16)
A new molecular marker of gastric cancer
Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common malignancies in the world with a high incidence and death rate. TNM staging system is used worldwide to predict prognosis and direct therapeutic decisions of patients with GC. view more (2009-03-31)
