The GAPS (Gut and Psychology Syndrome) diet is a type of elimination diet. It starts off with a liquid diet and then you gradually add in certain types of solid food. The GAPS diet claims to treat a large list of ailments, but some experts are skeptical. Gut and Psychology Syndrome, known as GAPS, refers to the idea that the health of your digestive system is directly connected to how your brain functions. So, the GAPS diet is designed as a way to help treat people with stomach ailments and a wide range of psychological issues. Proponents of the GAPS diet claim that it cures a long list of ailments — including ear infections, eczema, and PMS — none of which are backed by scientific research. Here's what you need to know about the GAPS diet and why many experts do not consider it a legitimate medical treatment.

Health Minister Robin Swann has announced a major expansion of Northern Ireland's Covid-19 vaccination programme to help meet current and forthcoming demand for booster doses. It comes after the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) recommended the phased extension of the booster programme to all adult age groups. It advised that boosters should now be offered to everyone aged 18 and over in order of descending age groups, with priority given to the vaccination of older adults and those in Covid-19 at-risk groups. Booster vaccination can now be given from three months of completion of the primary course. Mr Swann said: "I very much welcome the JCVI's guidance which has been updated in light of the emerging situation with the Omicron variant. "Our vaccination programme will continue to pull out all the stops to bring booster doses to all eligible age groups as quickly as possible. "Our booster programme will now in many ways mirror the primar...

The Columbus Dispatch Three-month-old Julia came to the emergency department with her parents for nasal congestion and coughing. As the nurse walked them back to her room, I quickly peeked in the car seat and saw that Julia was sucking on her pacifier and did not seem to be in any acute distress. While the nurse completed her triage and obtained a set of vital signs, I looked up Julia's chart in the computer to see if she had ever been seen in the emergency department (ED) before. She hadn't, but I saw that Julia had been born prematurely and spent a few weeks in the NICU before being discharged home. Julia's parents were calm but very worried about her. They said she had not been taking her bottles as well as she normally did because her nose was so congested, and she had been coughing for several days. They had been suctioning her nose with a bulb syringe, especially before feedings. RSV : Respiratory disease showing up early a...

As San Jacinto College celebrates 60 years of operations, its leaders are also working to adjust to the changes in higher education landscapes brought about by the pandemic. SJC has resumed in-person instruction with face covering recommendations and other enhanced health and safety procedures amid COVID-19, but fewer students are present on campuses for classes this fall, Chancellor Brenda Hellyer said during the college's annual State of the College address Nov. 12. She said she is surprised by the increase in remote students, but is working to understand the changing needs of students so the college's leaders can better serve them.

Implications for treating select patients with metastatic cholangiocarcinoma with ivosidenib as second-line therapy. Afsaneh Barzi, MD, PhD: Ivosidenib was also FDA approved this year for patients with cholangiocarcinoma and an IDH mutation. There was a randomized study looking at ivosidenib versus placebo, allowing the patients on placebo to be switched over to ivosidenib. It showed an improvement in the PFS [progression-free survival], which was the basis for FDA approval. In the control arm, the PFS was 1.4 months, and in the ivosidenib arm the PFS was 2.7 months with a hazard ratio of 0.37, and a significant P value. Although numerically it's a small improvement, it is a very respectable hazard ratio of 0.37, so I think it is an active drug. It is an oral agent. The one thing about the drug that's very interesting is one of the most common toxicities is ascites. However, when you look at the trial, the placebo arm experienced almost as much ascites as the treatment arm. On...

In the treatment of  Helicobacter pylori  infection, combination therapies using the oral potassium-competitive acid blocker vonoprazan were superior to standard proton pump inhibitor (PPI)–based triple therapy, producing higher eradication rates, according to combined data from a U.S. and a European phase 3 randomized, controlled trial. Vonoprazan has been submitted to the Food and Drug Administration for approval with a Fast Track designation in combination with amoxicillin and clarithromycin (triple therapy) or amoxicillin alone (dual therapy) for treating  H. pylori  infection. It has already been approved in Japan for the treatment of gastric and duodenal ulcers, reflux esophagitis, secondary prevention of low-dose aspirin– or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug–induced gastric mucosal damage, and for first and second-line  H. pylori  eradication therapy. Study Details The study included ...

Burning sensation and pain in the middle of the chest is how heartburn feels like. Heartburn is a symptom of acid reflux , a condition wherein stomach acid travels upwards through the esophagus.
