- * Anthocyanins, a type of plant pigment, are linked to various health benefits, but current clinical use is limited due to the high doses needed; this study explores the effectiveness of anthocyanidins, the active forms of anthocyanins.
- * Treatment with a mixture of anthocyanidins from bilberry (Anthos) showed significant inhibition of colon cancer cell growth and reduced tumor development, suggesting a promising approach for preventing and treating colorectal cancer.
Introduction Gastric electrical stimulation (GES) is an emerging therapy for gastric motility disorders, showing improvement of gastroparesis related symptoms in previous studies. Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) and mast cells have been shown to have a relevant role in gastroparesis pathogenesis. However, the exact effects of GES in those cells is relatively unknown.

Aims: We hypothesized that multiple systems may be involved in patients with gastroparesis symptoms and performed a comparative physiologic study.
Methods: We studied 43 consecutive eligible patients with gastroparetic symptoms categorized by GI symptoms, metabolic status, illness quantification, and gastric physiology.
Background: EUS-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA) has long been the main method for sampling pancreatic lesions. Recently, the method of fine-needle biopsy (FNB) was introduced in practice, allowing for the acquisition of tissue cores while aspirating the lesion. We hereby report our experience with a new FNB needle compared with the standard FNA needle.
