Genetic Variants Associated with Vitamin B12
Researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) and their collaborators at Tufts University and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) have identified a common genetic influence on B12 vitamin levels in the blood, suggesting a new way to approach the biological connections between an important biochemical variable and deficiency-related... view more...

NEJM study finds radiofrequency ablation can reverse Barrett's esophagus, reduce cancer risk
Patients who have gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) for a prolonged period have an increased risk of developing Barrett's esophagus, a pre-cancerous condition where the tissue lining the esophagus becomes damaged by stomach acid and transformed into something like the inside of the stomach. view more (2009-06-03)
What are the essential characteristics of serum PG in Chinese?
Pepsinogen (PG) is a precursor for pepsin, a digestive enzyme specifically produced in the gastric mucosa. Human PG can be classified into two different biochemical and immunological properties, PGI and PGII. view more (2008-01-17)
Discovery may provide new treatments for alcohol dependence
Researchers at the Sahlgrenska Academy, Gothenburg, have discovered a new brain mechanism involved in alcohol addiction involving the stomach hormone ghrelin. view more (2009-07-01)
Magnetic-anchor-guided endoscopic submucosal dissection shows promise for gastric cancer
A prospective clinical trial from researchers in Japan shows magnetic-anchor-guided endoscopic submucosal dissection for large early gastric cancer to be a feasible and safe method in humans. view more (2009-01-28)

Patients undergoing difficult medical procedures may benefit from getting advance detailed information about how unpleasant they might feel. view more (2006-06-20)
Barrett's esophagus patients have same survival rates as general population
New Mayo Clinic research has found that survival rates of patients with Barrett's esophagus, which can be a precursor for esophageal cancer, are no different than the survival rates for the general population. view more (2009-10-27)
How to Make a Lung: Cell-Regeneration Molecules Essential Signals for Early Lung Development, Penn Study Finds
A tissue-repair-and-regeneration pathway in the human body, including wound healing, is essential for the early lung to develop properly. view more (2009-08-18)
Removal of superficial tumours in oesophagus by endoscopy can avoid complete extirpation of this part of the digestive tract
The removal through endoscopy of tumours that affect only the superficial layers of the oesophagus can avoid complete extirpation of this part of the digestive tract. view more (2008-04-11)
Medicinal products susceptible to 'dose dumping' should be fully tested
Controlled release pills and capsules that show a tendency in the standard laboratory test toward "dose dumping" - releasing their medicine in a faster and potentially unsafe manner in patients who have consumed alcohol - should be withheld from the market until proven safe with testing in people. view more (2009-09-24)
Hebrew University Researchers Win Kaye Prize For Gastro-retentive Sustained Release Drug Delivery System
Despite advances made in "sustained delivery" drug delivery technologies in recent years, a problem still persists in trying to obtain controlled release of a wide variety of medications that have only a "narrow absorption window" in the upper part of the intestines. That is, these drugs are absorbed rather quickly after being... view more... (2004-06-07)
Firefighters face increased risk for certain cancers
University of Cincinnati (UC) environmental health researchers have determined that firefighters are significantly more likely to develop four different types of cancer than workers in other fields. view more (2006-11-10)
USC study identifies factors attributed to later stage cancer diagnosis
Researchers from the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California (USC) found that patients who received a later stage cancer diagnosis were likely to be living in an unsafe neighborhood, using public transportation and traveling at least 45 minutes to get to a doctor's office. view more (2007-04-16)
Reflux esophagitis due to immune reaction, not acute acid burn, UT Southwestern researchers report
Contrary to current thinking, a condition called gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) might not develop as a direct result of acidic digestive juices burning the esophagus, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have found in an animal study. view more (2009-11-20)
Doctors, engineers develop new wireless system
UT Southwestern Medical Center doctors and UT Arlington engineers have developed a wireless monitoring system that uses electrical impulses to track esophageal reflux. view more (2007-05-30)
Biodegradable gel being studied as a treatment for esophageal cancer
Gastroenterologists at Rush University Medical Center are studying the safety and efficacy of a new system for delivering chemotherapy for patients with esophageal cancer, a rare, but deadly disease that attacks the throat. view more (2009-04-16)
New study shows erosive esophagitis healing linked to acid control
New clinical data demonstrated, for the first time in a prospective study, a direct relationship between controlling gastric (or stomach) acid and healing erosive esophagitis caused by acid reflux disease. view more (2006-05-23)
Who gets cancer treatment, and who completes it?
Cancer treatment is now very effective in many cases, yet not all patients with cancer are referred and not all complete their treatment programme. This has puzzled cancer specialists who have wondered if psychological factors might influence their decision and has led to research carried out by Dr Stan Lindsay from the Institute of Psychiatry in... view more...
