Choice of hospital impacts outcomes for inflammatory bowel disease surgery
Hospitals with higher annual volumes of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who undergo surgery have lower in-hospital mortality rates than hospitals with lower volumes of IBD patients, according to a new study by researchers at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee. view more (2008-06-19)
Stem cell indicator for bowel cancer should lead to better survival rates
Stem cell scientists have developed a more accurate way of identifying aggressive forms of bowel cancer, which should eventually lead to better treatment and survival rates. Bowel cancer is the third most common cancer in the UK. view more (2008-08-20)

Eating plenty of fruit in childhood may protect against cancer in adulthood
A childhood diet rich in fruit may protect against the development of certain cancers in later life, suggests a long term study of almost 4,000 people in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. The researchers based their findings on a 60 year follow up of a group of people who had completed a week's household food inventory during the... view more... (2003-02-18)
New studies gauge knowledge, attitudes and preferences of patients with irritable bowel syndrome
Significant misconceptions about the causes of their condition and mistaken beliefs about its potential progression into other diseases, including cancer, marks the knowledge of a sample of patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). view more (2005-10-31)
Restricted fetal growth increases risk of irritable bowel syndrome
Babies weighing less than the standard weight seem to be at significantly greater risk of developing irritable bowel syndrome or IBS, suggests research published ahead of print in the journal Gut. view more (2006-09-28)
How does sodium phosphate combined with bisacodyl affect small intestine?
Capsule endoscopy is a well accepted tool for evaluation of small bowel pathologies (e.g., bleeding sources). However, it has some limitations due to restricted recording time and reduced visibility by air and residual material. view more (2008-05-21)
