SGLT2 inhibitors in T2DM are associated with reduced gastrointestinal cancer risk
Vancouver, Canada — The use of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors is associated with a reduced risk of gastrointestinal (GI) cancer in patients with: type 2 diabetes New evidence emerges in comparison with dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP4) inhibitors. SGLT2 inhibitors were found to be better than DPP4 inhibitors in reducing the risk of colorectal, liver, […]
Rectal spacer reduces gastrointestinal toxicity from hypofractionated prostate radiation
Recent findings suggest that rectal spacers containing hyaluronic acid can reduce the risk of gastrointestinal toxicity from hypofractionated prostate cancer radiotherapy. Hypofractionated radiotherapy for prostate cancer is more convenient and cost-effective than conventionally fractionated radiotherapy but is associated with greater grade 2 acute gastrointestinal toxic effects. The rectal spacer creates distance between the prostate and […]
Does COVID-19 increase the risk of future gastrointestinal problems?
The rapid emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has led to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Several symptoms have been reported following COVID-19 infection, including those that affect the gastrointestinal system.

Study suggests pain caused by gastrointestinal disorders could be treated by targeting touch receptors
Researchers have discovered that receptors responsible for our sense of touch and temperature are located in the colon, making it a potential therapeutic target for chronic pain associated with gastrointestinal disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome. Research led by Dr. Hongzhen Hu from the University of Washington and Dr. Nick Spencer from Flinders University has […]
High gastrointestinal symptom burden in Fabry disease unrelated to intestinal motility
A recent study showed that problems moving food through the gastrointestinal system were not the main cause of gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms in patients with Fabry disease. This condition, which affects a patient’s quality of life, can result from dysfunction of the nerve cells that control intestinal reflexes. the study, “Gastrointestinal sensory neuropathy and movement disorders […]
