<title>Chronic Heartburn May Boost Risk for Esophageal Cancer</title>
<link>http://www.medsurfnews.com/contents/it/7316/display/chronic-heartburn-may-boost-risk-for-esophageal-cancer.aspx</link>
<description><![CDATA[Inflammation caused by chronic heartburn may increase the risk of esophageal cancer, a new study finds. The condition - formally known as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) - occurs when a muscle at the end of the esophagus doesn't close properly, allowing stomach contents to leak back into the esophagus and irritate it. GERD can lead to changes in the tissue lining the esophagus, a condition called Barrett's esophagus, often a precursor to esophageal cancer.]]></description>

<title>New Crohn's disease draft guidance</title>
<link>http://www.medsurfnews.com/contents/it/7272/display/new-crohns-disease-draft-guidance.aspx</link>
<description><![CDATA[ A number of new drugs have been licensed for Crohn's disease  within the last decadei. In draft guidance published for consultation, NICE, the healthcare guidance body, has made recommendations on the role of new and established treatments for the management of Crohn's disease in adults and children. Glucocorticosteroids can be offered to induce remission in people with Crohn's disease and azathioprine or mercaptopurine can be offered as maintenance treatment. ]]></description>

<title>Intestinal Polyps and Colic Cancer</title>
<link>http://www.medsurfnews.com/contents/it/7219/display/intestinal-polyps-and-colic-cancer.aspx</link>
<description><![CDATA[With a recent cross-sectional study it was seen that the presence of large serrated polyps is an independent risk factor for colorectal synchronous cancers; according to this matter, two new studies have been performed. The first one has involved 3121 patients undergoing screening colonoscopy in 13 American centers of the Veterans Affairs.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[With a double-blinded, placebo-controlled study, some Italian researchers have randomized 44 infants older than 6 months of age (averagely 8 months of age) with chronic functional constipation to receive a probiotic suspension (Lactobacillus Reuteri) or placebo, administered once a day 30 minutes before meal, for a duration of 8 months.]]></description>

<title>Protonic Pump Inhibitors and Clopidogrel: the COGENT Trial</title>
<link>http://www.medsurfnews.com/contents/it/7026/display/protonic-pump-inhibitors-and-clopidogrel-the-cogent-trial.aspx</link>
<description><![CDATA[Observational trials have suggested that protonic pump inhibitors (PPIs) reduce the efficacy of antiplatelet agents, so a patient under treatment with clopidogrel should use other forms of gastric prevention. In order to verify if things are really this way, the researchers of the COGENT trial have randomized 3873 patients (averagely 68 years of age; 68% males) with the need of double antiplatelet therapy to be treated with clopidogrel plus omeprazole or placebo.]]></description>

<title>Docs can miss abnormalities captured by pill camera</title>
<link>http://www.medsurfnews.com/contents/it/7007/display/docs-can-miss-abnormalities-captured-by-pill-camera.aspx</link>
<description><![CDATA[Cameras-in-a-pill can capture views deep within the small intestine, but the doctors who read the results may often fail to spot abnormalities, a small study suggests. Researchers found that when they had 17 doctors view images taken during what's known as capsule endoscopy, the doctors caught fewer than half of the small intestine abnormalities on display. The researchers say the findings send a message to doctors reading images from the capsule cameras: Slow down.

<title>Flexible approaches for artificial pancreas system clinical trials</title>
<link>http://www.medsurfnews.com/contents/it/6915/display/flexible-approaches-for-artificial-pancreas-system-clinical-trials.aspx</link>
<description><![CDATA[The U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued draft guidance designed to help investigators and manufacturers as they develop and seek approval for artificial pancreas device systems to treat type 1 diabetes. To facilitate development of this novel product in an evolving area, the draft guidance provides flexible recommendations for design and testing that meet statutory requirements for safety and effectiveness. For example, the draft guidance provides for flexibility in choice of study endpoints, number of patients to be studied and the length of the clinical trial.
