[Title] => New colorectal cancer screening techniques promise greater detection
[Summary] => Novel colorectal cancer screening techniques stand to improve detection of early-stage tumors, according to a Professor of Medicine, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, Rochester, Minn. He told attendees of the 2004 Digestive Disease Week (DDW) meeting that more patients may agree to be screened because stool DNA testing and virtual colonoscopy are as accurate as, but less invasive than, conventional tests – resulting in a higher rate of detected cancers.

[Title] => Organic cause of ‘brain fog’ in hepatitis C
[Summary] => The complainant of ‘brain fog’ commonly voiced by patients with chronic hepatitis C infection even in the absence of cirrhosis appears to have an organic cause, as reported at the annual Digestive Disease Week.
One strong possibility is that this brain fog results from a direct neurotoxic immunologic effect of the hepatitis C virus upon the CNS, according to one doctor of the University of Toronto.
Typical complaints of brain fog in patients with chronic hepatitis C involve forgetfulness, fatigue, difficulty in concentrating, and depression.
