Research led by Dr. Anne Mueller at Stanford University School of Medicine demonstrates that successful eradication of Helicobacter may not prevent future aggressive gastric lymphoma since resting B cells are left behind. view more (2005-08-25)
Fat overrides effects of vitamin C
Fats in our stomach may reduce the protective effects of antioxidants such as vitamin C. Scientists at the University of Glasgow found that in the presence of lipid the ability of antioxidants, such as ascorbic acid (the active component of vitamin C), to protect against the generation of potential cancer-forming compounds in the stomach is less... view more...

OHSU Cancer Institute researchers find many stomach cancer patients are not gertting best therapy
New findings from Oregon Health & Science University Cancer Institute show significant numbers of patients nationwide who are not getting the recommended therapy after surgery to remove stomach cancer. view more (2008-05-30)
African-Americans with colorectal cancer have poorer outcomes, lower survival rates
New research published in the November issue of the Journal of the American College of Surgeons shows that African-American patients with colorectal cancer are more likely to be diagnosed with advanced disease and are less likely to undergo surgical procedures compared with Caucasians, suggesting that improvements in screening and rates of... view more...

Electroacupuncture protects acetylsalicylic acid-induced acute gastritis in rats
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used as anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents. However, they often cause gastrointestinal injury in gastric lesions by inhibiting COX (cyclooxygenase) and detailed mechanism remains unclear. Thus, effective strategies are required to protect the gastrointestinal mucosa. view more (2009-03-03)
New minimally invasive surgery option for patients with stomach cancer
A novel, minimally invasive surgical approach to treat stomach cancer has been shown to have advantages that may make it a preferable treatment for some patients. view more (2009-04-16)
Dinosaurs — stones did not help with digestion
The giant dinosaurs had a problem. Many of them had narrow, pointed teeth, which were more suited to tearing off plants rather than chewing them. view more (2006-12-21)
Obesity linked to hormone imbalance that impacts sexual quality of life
Hormonal changes and diminished sexual quality of life among obese men are related to the degree of obesity, and both are improved after gastric bypass surgery according to a new study accepted for publication in The Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM). view more (2009-03-03)
Some obese patients more likely to return to work following gastric bypass surgery
Obese Medicaid patients who undergo Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery may be more likely to return to work than obese Medicaid patients who do not undergo the surgery, according to a report in the October issue of Archives of Surgery, a theme issue on bariatric surgery. view more (2007-10-16)
'Vioxx like' drugs may still be best option for arthritis, write scientists

Histochemistry is the golden standard in the diagnosis of carcinosarcomas
A case study of carcinosarcoma has been published in the World Journal of Gastroenterology on November 7, 2007. The patient in the study was the first case of gastric carcinosarcoma obtained in this part of the world. view more (2007-11-15)
Salt increases ulcer-bug virulence
Scientists have identified yet another risk from a high-salt diet. High concentrations of salt in the stomach appear to induce gene activity in the ulcer-causing bacterium Helicobacter pylori, making it more virulent and increasing the likelihood of an infected person developing a severe gastric disease. view more (2007-05-23)
Researchers warn that gastric bypass surgery may cause post-op nutrient deficiencies
Two studies by a group of researchers at Washington Hospital Center highlight potential postoperative nutritional deficiencies among patients who undergo gastric bypass surgery to treat obesity. view more (2007-10-15)
What is the effect of fluoxetine on mast cell?
Mast cells are now recognized as "granular cells of the connective tissue", whose activation exacerbates allergic immune responses and as key players in the establishment of innate immunity as well as modulators of adaptive immune responses. view more (2008-12-23)
What is the influence of tumor removal on the serum level of carbohydrate's antibody?
Cancer immune surveillance is considered to be important in the anti-tumor protection of the host. The growing tumor escapes the immune control under the immunosuppressive conditions. view more (2008-10-08)
Researchers discover correlation between GERD and obesity in females
A group of scientists recently discovered an association between being overweightand a disease called gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) in women. view more (2007-09-14)
Acute gastric injury due to high-dose analgesics?
Analgesics, NSAIDs and acetaminophen, are commonly used for the relief of fever, headaches, and other minor aches and pains. The gastrointestinal side effects of NSAIDs are well documented and acetaminophen is accepted to be a safe drug for the gastrointestinal system. Acute effects of short-term, especially high-dose NSAID and acetaminophen use... view more... (2008-12-29)
Tummy Bug Puzzle Unravelled
The bacterium, Helicobacter pylori, which infects the stomach, causes duodenal ulcer disease and is thought to cause stomach cancer. The question of why the bacteria are only found in the stomach has puzzled scientists for many years. Researchers at the Conway Institute and the Children's Research Centre at Our Lady's Hospital for Sick Children,... view more... (2004-05-11)
Study shows potential for resolving type 2 diabetes with bariatric surgery
As the incidence of obesity-induced type 2 diabetes mellitus continues to increase worldwide, medical research indicates that surgery to reduce obesity can completely eliminate all manifestations of diabetes. view more (2009-03-03)
