Dietary modifications may not benefit cancer patients
One study, a meta-analysis of 59 trials, found little evidence that diet is associated with survival or prognosis. The other study suggests that neither use of garlic nor vitamin supplements delays the progression of precancerous gastric lesions to cancer. view more (2006-07-19)
Helicobacter pylori - the key behind its recognition is somewhere else
The first step against infection is the detection of microorganisms capable of causing disease. This is done through the recognition of molecular structures not shared by the host, but also present in other harmless or even useful microbes. A question that has puzzled scientists for many years is how the host knows exactly against which microbes... view more... (2004-10-29)
Uncovering the secrets of ulcer-causing bacteria
A team of researchers from Boston University, Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts Institute of Technology recently made a discovery that changes a long held paradigm about how bacteria move through soft gels. view more (2009-08-13)
Chronic infection may add to developing-world deaths
Worldwide, nearly 2 million people per year die from diarrhea, the vast majority of them in poor countries in Africa and Asia. The disease accounts for 18 percent of all deaths among children - and yet is almost always preventable with proper treatment. view more (2009-02-13)
Gutsy germs succumb to baby broccoli
A small, pilot study in 50 people in Japan suggests that eating two and a half ounces of broccoli sprouts daily for two months may confer some protection against a rampant stomach bug that causes gastritis, ulcers and even stomach cancer. view more (2009-04-06)
How to confirm the causes of iron deficiency anemia in young women

University of Nottingham to launch £300,000 centre for research into gastrointestinal diseases
A new £305,472 research centre that will bring together cutting-edge expertise in gastrointestinal diseases, including irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Crohn's disease, the bacteria helicobacter pylori and cancer, is to be launched at The University of Nottingham. The new Wolfson Digestive Diseases Centre, substantially funded with a grant... view more... (2003-06-12)
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)
ASGE offers guidelines on endoscopic treatment of dyspepsia
The American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) has issued guidelines for the role of endoscopy in treating dyspepsia, discomfort thought to arise from the upper-gastrointestinal tract, which affects a fourth of the population in Western countries. view more (2007-12-26)
New research from Rhode Island Hospital may help predict outcomes for stomach cancer patients
Researchers at Rhode Island Hospital have identified two potential molecular markers that may predict outcomes for patients with stomach cancer, one of the most common and fatal cancers worldwide. view more (2008-07-17)
Red Wine and Grape Juice Help Defend Against Food-Borne Diseases, according to MU Researchers

How do we see bacteria
Understanding how the body's immune system recognises and responds to microorganisms can be a major step in the development of new therapies against infectious diseases. Towards this aim, a paper just released in the October issue of Embo reports1 discusses the process used by mammals to respond to bacteria such as Helicobacter pylori, Listeria... view more...
