Breath Testing for Barrett’s Esophagus Using Exhaled Volatile Organic Compound Profiling With an Electronic Nose Device

To date, of the 5 human senses, smell has been the most underused in diagnostic medicine. This is not because of its lack of potential; numerous canine studies over the last 2 decades have demonstrated that odors can distinguish multiple benign and mal… Continue reading

Repression of MicroRNA Function Mediates Inflammation-associated Colon Tumorigenesis

Little is known about the mechanisms by which chronic inflammation contributes to carcinogenesis, such as the development of colon tumors in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases. Specific microRNA (miRNAs) can function as suppressors or oncogenes,… Continue reading
