Recent evidence in The Cochrane Library, however, reveals that mechanical bowel cleansing does not significantly decrease the risk of anastomotic leakage or other... view more... (2003-10-20)
Study: Bariatric surgery patients have 67 percent lower chance of complications at top hospitals
The HealthGrades Fourth Annual Bariatric Surgery Trends in American Hospitals Study released today identifies 88 hospitals as "best" performers (five-star rated), with mortality rates, complication rates and patient lengths of stay that are dramatically lower than poorly rated hospitals. view more (2009-07-28)
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs use associated with higher gastrointestinal complications
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) provide a broad range of benefits for patients who require their use, but health care providers need to carefully consider the associated risks before prescribing these drugs for their patients, according to a multi-disciplinary panel of experts convened by the AGA Institute. view more (2006-09-21)
Transcutaneous cervical esophageal ultrasound can not substitute for 24-h pH monitoring or manometry
24-h pH monitoring and esophageal manometry are the gold standards of methods used for diagnosing GER and esophageal motor disorders, respectively view more (2007-10-10)
Scientists at Scripps Research identify a mutation that causes inflammatory bowel disease
A team of scientists at The Scripps Research Institute has linked a mouse mutation to an increased susceptibility for developing inflammatory bowel disease -- represented in humans as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, which together are estimated to affect more than a million people in the United States. view more (2009-02-11)
Spray to Stop Scarring in Development
A spray that halves the healing time of burns and wounds is being designed for immediate use. Marina Murphy explains how the spray could be the difference between having a disfiguring scar or not in Chemistry & Industry magazine. view more (2004-10-28)
Stress could damage DNA
A ground-breaking experiment has suggested that a certain type of stress could actually damage humans' DNA. view more (2004-08-23)
Cyclic vomiting syndrome: Recurring and unexplained episodes destroy teeth
Health risks are everywhere and as many as people know about, there are still many of which people are unaware. Parents face even more concerns when it comes to protecting children. Some diseases and problems are more prevalent in children-like cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS). view more (2007-01-12)

Taking antidepressants together with painkillers can substantially increase the risk of bleeding from the stomach, according to new research by the University of East Anglia. view more (2007-10-09)
Belly fat may drive inflammatory processes associated with disease
As scientists learn more about the key role of inflammation in diabetes, heart disease and other disorders, new research from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis suggests that fat in the belly may be an important promoter of that inflammation. view more (2007-03-14)
To avoid stomach upset in arthritis patients, drug combination more effective
UCLA/VA researchers found that for arthritis patients, taking a combination of two drugs may be most effective in protecting against stomach upset called dyspepsia, which is a side effect of common pain medications. view more (2006-05-02)

Beta-catenin, a central molecule of the Wnt-signaling pathway was previously known to involve in the tumorigenesis of various gastrointestinal cancers such as gastric cancer and colon cancer. view more (2008-11-03)
Scientists pool information to boost understanding of drug action
As a result of the Human Genome Project, scientists now know the human DNA codes for about 20,000-25,000 genes, each of which could be a target for the development of new medicines. However, most scientists believe that only about 10% of these genes are likely targets for the drugs of the future. view more (2005-12-01)
Tea tree oil and silver together make more effective antiseptics
In the fight against infected skin wounds, mixing tea tree oil and silver or putting them in liposomes, (small spheres made from natural lipids), greatly increases their antimicrobial activity and may minimise any side effects. view more (2009-03-30)
A low prevalence of H pylori in HIV-positive patients

Counting semi-viable bacteria in cheese
The Wageningen researcher Christine Bunthof has developed a direct method for counting bacteria in dairy products. The method not only distinguishes viable and non-viable bacteria but also semi-viable bacteria. These are too weak to divide, but still exhibit activity. The semi-viable bacteria play an important role in cheese ripening and therefore... view more... (2002-05-23)
