  • Highlights from Digestive Disease Week 2008
    The latest developments in gastroenterology come to you direct from the floor of the 2008 Digestive Disease Week (DDW) conference, held May 17-22 in San Diego. Highlights include several avenues of pancreatic cancer research into screening measures and markers which may enable earlier detection and improve long-term prognosis. Probiotics, also a hot topic at DDW, are being touted as a means to relieve post-operative digestive problems associated with gastric bypass surgery, by limiting bacterial overgrowth and reducing levels of fasting insulin, lipoprotein A and triglycerides. Separately, research is demonstrating that confocal laser endoscopy can efficiently pare down the process of accurate diagnosis and safe treatment of Barrett’s esophagus.
