Discovery of new family of genetic mutations involved in inflammatory intestinal disease
The discovery of new genetic mutations involved in inflammatory intestinal disorders could lead to a better understanding of these common conditions. view more (2008-06-03)
Harvard and U. Pittsburgh researchers explain carbon monoxide's anti-inflammatory effects
In a study appearing in the April 2007 issue of The FASEB Journal, scientists from Harvard University and the University of Pittsburgh have shown for the first time that the anti-inflammatory effects of carbon monoxide originate within cells' own molecular engines, mitochondria. view more (2007-03-30)
New method proposed for determining which patients should get treatment for colorectal cancer
A new study being presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology meeting in Chicago (Abstract #4020), may change treatment practice in about 25 percent of patients with colon cancer and is the basis for proposed changes to the way colorectal cancers will be staged. view more (2008-05-19)
Vitamin D deficiency common in patients with IBD, chronic liver disease
New research presented at the 73rd Annual Scientific Meeting of the American College of Gastroenterology in Orlando found patients with inflammatory bowel disease or chronic liver disease were at increased risk of developing Vitamin D deficiencies. Two separate studies highlight the importance of regular Vitamin D checkups in the evaluation of... view more... (2008-10-06)
Biologics valuable treatment option for patients with inflammatory bowel disease
The use of biologic agents for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may benefit patients, but doctors need to consider the potential associated side effects in determining treatment course. view more (2007-07-26)
Scientists find gene target that may protect against Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis
The discovery by a six-member Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Genetics Consortium of a genetic risk factor for IBD has been reported in Science Express, the online publication of the journal Science. view more (2006-10-27)
Demystifying Irritable Bowel Syndrome (p 555)
A seminar in this week's issue of THE LANCET examines the history, epidemiology, and different treatment options for one of the most misunderstood medical complaints-irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Nicholas Talley from the University of Sydney, Australia, and Robin Spiller from Queens Medical Centre, Nottingham, UK, describe how IBS affects 10% of... view more... (2002-08-14)
Novel genetic finding offers new avenue for future Crohn's disease treatment
Researchers from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine identified a novel link between ITCH, a gene known to regulate inflammation in the body and NOD2, a gene which causes the majority of genetic Crohn's Disease diagnoses. view more (2009-07-10)
UCLA cancer researchers first to link intestinal inflammation with systemic chromosome damage
UCLA scientists have linked for the first time intestinal inflammation with systemic chromosome damage in mice, a finding that may lead to the early identification and treatment of human inflammatory disorders. view more (2009-06-01)
Periods worsen irritable bowel symptoms
Having a period significantly worsens symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and lowers pain thresholds, finds research in Gut. view more (2002-03-11)
Chewing gum -- the new post-operative medicine
In an article recently recommended by Bradley Kropp of Faculty of 1000 Medicine, researchers find chewing gum is a simple solution to the recovery of bowel function after gastrointestinal surgery - a problem that has troubled patients and physicians for decades. view more (2008-02-28)
Scientists find major susceptibility gene for Crohn's disease
A consortium of American and Canadian researchers report in Science Express, a rapid online publication by the journal Science, the discovery of a new genetic link to Crohn's disease. view more (2006-10-27)
Overly anxious and driven people prone to irritable bowel syndrome
Overly anxious and driven people are susceptible to irritable bowel syndrome, usually known as IBS, indicates research published ahead of print in the journal Gut. view more (2007-02-26)
Biodegradable polymers show promise for improving treatment of acute inflammatory diseases
A family of biodegradable polymers called polyketals and their derivatives may improve treatment for such inflammatory illnesses as acute lung injury, acute liver failure and inflammatory bowel disease by delivering drugs, proteins and snips of ribonucleic acid to disease locations in the body. view more (2008-08-21)
High risk of migraine, depression and chronic pain for IBS sufferers, large study shows
Patients with irritable bowel syndrome are more likely to suffer from conditions such as migraine or depression than other individuals. view more (2006-09-28)
Link found between steroid anti-inflammatories and heart disease
Results of a population study in Scotland will reveal today at the British Endocrine Societies 2003 meeting that patients taking anti-inflammatory steroid drugs are at a greater risk of heart disease. Taking high doses of glucocorticoids, commonly prescribed to alleviate conditions including asthma, rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel... view more... (2003-03-19)
Gut bacteria can manufacture defenses against cancer and inflammatory bowel disease
Bacteria naturally present in the human gut could produce substances that help to protect against colon cancer and provide therapy for inflammatory bowel disease. In a paper published in the journal Microbiology, researchers from the University of Aberdeen Rowett Institute of Nutrition and Health and from the MTT Agrifood Research Institute in... view more...

Antimicrobial antibodies in celiac disease: Trick or treat?
Anti-microbial antibody formation has been reported in celiac disease. view more (2009-08-27)
High calorie diet seems to increase chances of surviving bowel cancer for longer
A high calorie diet seems to increase the chances of surviving bowel cancer for longer, suggests research in Gut. Bowel cancer is one of the most common cancers in the West, and is strongly linked to dietary factors, especially high intakes of red meat, fat, and refined sugars. Survival rates are generally poor, with less than half of those... view more... (2003-05-09)
Fear of insurance rejection deters potentially life saving genetic tests for bowel cancer
An Australian study of families with genetic risk of bowel cancer has found that 50 percent of participants declined genetic testing when informed of insurance implications. view more (2009-09-08)
