- A study involving 448 participants found that while anxiety levels did not significantly affect the success of dietary interventions, higher levels of depression were linked to a lower likelihood of achieving treatment goals.
- This suggests that recognizing a patient's psychological state may improve predictions regarding their response to dietary therapies for IBS.

- Transanal total mesorectal excision (taTME) is a new surgery method for removing the rectum that has some potential advantages over traditional surgery.
- There was a study to find out how often cancer comes back after this surgery, which looked at many research papers to gather information.
- The results showed that the chance of cancer coming back is about 3.4%, and it's similar to the chance with regular laparoscopic surgery, meaning taTME might be a good option for patients when done in specialized hospitals.
