Today we are reporting on the 'FLIP device' and give you an update on the likely aetiology of achalasia.
There have been studies on 'motorised spiral enteroscopy'. Is a motor really a good thing inside the small bowel?
We are surprised to see a complete turnaround in the recommendations from Sheffield on how to diagnose Coeliac disease !
Sadly, surveillance in patients with MUTyH related polyposis doesn't seem to save lives.
Should we all start doing 'full thickness' colonic resections? I urge caution!
Finally, there have been some good news and some bad news on the topic of emergency GI bleeding ...
