| |  The pelvic floor is a layer of muscles and connective tissues that supports the uterus, bladder, urethra, vagina and rectum. The pelvic floor supports the organs in your pelvis from underneath, almost like a hammock. | |

| |  An innovative robotic device inspired by snake movement could someday help gastroenterologists diagnose and treat inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and other disorders of the small intestine and remove small polyps while reducing trauma to the organ's delicate tissues. | |
|
| |  Thriving alongside trillions of bacteria in the human digestive tract is a vast population of viruses. Ever since one such denizen of the gut microbiome, known as picobirnavirus, was first spotted decades ago, researchers thought it directly infected human tissue and played a role in gastrointestinal illness. | |
|
| |  A study of more than 110,000 surgeries found that adding advanced air purification and sterilization systems to operating rooms did not reduce surgical site infections, postoperative complications, or deaths. | |
|
| |  Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers in Norway, which also has one of the highest incidence rates in the world. | |
|
| |  New Cleveland Clinic research published in Cancer Cell shows that people with glioblastoma have more active platelets, which are cells involved in blood clotting. Platelets also communicate with other cells and can influence immune activity. The overactive platelets in people with glioblastoma slow the activity of cancer-fighting T cells, which can contribute to tumor growth and cancer progression. | |
|
| |  A groundbreaking immunotherapy treatment for rectal cancer, developed through pioneering research at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) with critical early-stage funding from Swim Across America, has received accelerated approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). | |
|
| |  A new study led by researchers at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center found that a nutritional supplement containing oxaloacetate, a molecule naturally found in the body that helps cells produce energy, may help improve cognitive function and reduce the fatigue experienced by some breast cancer survivors following treatment. | |
|
| |  The first UK-wide analysis of bowel screening for patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has identified opportunities to improve the early detection of cancer. | |
|
| |  A study finds most French fries and tortilla chips from shared fryers contain low gluten levels, suggesting revised dietary advice for celiac disease is needed. | |
|
| |  Airway mucus is part of innate lung defense, but when production overwhelms clearance, it obstructs airflow and worsens disease. | |
|
| |  Researchers followed 54 twin pairs discordant for Parkinson’s disease and found substantially higher 10-year mortality among affected twins, including in genetically identical pairs. They also observed more frequent constipation among affected twins, but dietary and nutritional differences were limited, with secondary findings requiring confirmation. | |
|
| |  For the first time, a joint guideline from the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) and American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) evaluates newer medications for primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), the most common cholestatic disease in adults. | |
|
| |  Scientists exploring the links between a spinal cord injury, inflammation and immune function have turned their attention to a genome-level analysis of the gut microbial community, with early study results offering hints at potential new approaches to aid healing. | |
|
| |  The ECOG-ACRIN Cancer Research Group (ECOG-ACRIN) announced today that it will open a randomized, registration-enabling phase 2/3 clinical trial to evaluate ivonescimab combined with chemotherapy as first-line treatment for patients with advanced biliary tract cancer (BTC). | |
