PROBIOTICS—THE CONCEPTHistory and DefinitionsA century ago, Elie Metchnikoff (a Russian scientist, Nobel laureate, and professor at the Pasteur Institute in Paris) postulated that lactic acid bacteria (LAB) offered health benefits capable of promoting longevity. He suggested that “intestinal autointread more

Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 in Liver Diseases: A Novel Therapeutic Target
TL;DR: The cytokines and small molecules that activate STAT3 in hepatocytes may have therapeutic benefits to treat acute liver injury, fatty liver disease, and alcoholic hepatitis, while blockage of STAT3 may have a therapeutic potential to prevent and treat liver cancer.

Scalloped Valvulae Conniventes: An Endoscopic Marker of Celiac Sprue
Mansour Jabbari,Gary Wild,Carl A. Goresky,Donald S. Daly,John Lough,D. Paul Cleland,Douglas G. Kinnear +6 more
TL;DR: The finding of the distinctive appearance provides an endoscopically recognizable pattern that can be associated with sprue and provides the potential for early recognition of the process in patients in whom the diagnosis might otherwise have been delayed due to a lack of substantial evolution of the usually associated symptom complex.

Somatostatin analogues for acute bleeding oesophageal varices.
TL;DR: The findings do not suggest a need for further placebo-controlled trials of the type reviewed here, and it is doubtful whether this effect on mortality might have been overlooked.

Portosystemic shunts versus endoscopic therapy for variceal rebleeding in patients with cirrhosis
TL;DR: All shunts resulted in a significantly lower rebleeding rate at the expense of a higher incidence of encephalopathy, and TIPS was complicated by a high incidence of shunt dysfunction.

Erosive esophagitis is a risk factor for Barrett's esophagus: a community-based endoscopic follow-up study.
Jukka Ronkainen,Nicholas J. Talley,Tom Storskrubb,Sven-Erik Johansson,Tore Lind,Michael Vieth,Lars Agréus,Pertti Aro +7 more
TL;DR: Compared with being free of GERD at follow-up, erosive esophagitis is a major risk factor for BE (with a fivefold increased risk) after 5 years in the general population.
