A new artificial intelligence (AI)-based tool shows promise for improving surveillance in patients treated with endoscopic eradication therapies for dysplasia associated with Barrett’s esophagus (BE) and early esophageal adenocarcinoma. BE is the only known condition that precedes esophageal adenocarcinoma – an aggressive cancer with high mortality rates. Developed and validated by US researchers, the AI model was more than 90% accurate in predicting which patients would experience a recurrence of BE after endoscopic eradication therapy (EET) and detecting when it is likely to occur. The findings were published today in Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology. Early detection of the dysplasia…

In a freezing winter I would be in the car with the windows down. Even weirder: My skin had a…

Although exercise cannot cure HIV, it can make living with the condition much more bearable. In this article, we’ll explore what the evidence really says about exercise and HIV: the benefits, what types of activity count, how often…
Chocolate muffins for breakfast? Absolutely. Double Chocolate Veggie Muffins for Breakfast? Even better. These Double Chocolate Veggie Muffins (made with not one, but THREE veggies!) are soft, tender, lightly chocolatey (not dark and intense), and packed with zucchini, sweet potato, and spinach (you read that right!) mixed in. They are delicate like a cupcake, just sweet enough and perfect for kids who aren’t big fans of bitter dark chocolate. As a pediatric dietitian (and mom of three), I love that they offer some fiber, some protein, and steady energy without feeling like a “healthy” muffin. These are delicious muffins that…
