Acidic perfusion provokes DIS without heartburn in healthy individuals
Researchers have found that, although weakly acidic solutions can provoke dilated intercellular spaces in healthy individuals after esophageal perfusion, most of these individuals do not experience heartburn or pain, suggesting that non-erosive reflux disease patients have other critical factors underlying their symptoms.

IBD inpatients at increased risk for MRSA infection
Hospitalized patients with inflammatory bowel disease are at increased risk for contracting methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection compared with non-IBD gastrointestinal and general inpatients, show Canadian researchers.

Supradiaphragmatic acid pocket position linked to GERD pathogenesis
Researchers have found that supradiaphragmatic positioning of the postprandial acid pocket, which is largely determined by the presence of a hiatal hernia, represents an important mechanism promoting acid reflux into the distal esophagus.

IBD development linked to various childhood factors
Researchers have confirmed the association of a number of childhood factors and the development of inflammatory bowel disease, suggesting that childhood environment plays an important role in modulating the subsequent risk for developing the condition.
