LINX surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It involves implanting a small flexible ring of magnetic beads around the lower esophageal sphincter, which helps prevent acid reflux while allowing food to pass through. The magnetic attraction between the beads keeps the sphincter closed, preventing stomach acid from entering the esophagus. LINX surgery offers a long-lasting solution for GERD, improving symptoms and reducing the need for medication.

Cholecystectomy, the surgical removal of the gallbladder, has been identified as a potential risk factor for oesophageal adenocarcinoma. Recent studies suggest that the absence of the gallbladder may lead to alterations in bile acid metabolism, causing an increased reflux of bile into the esophagus. Chronic exposure to bile acids can contribute to inflammation and cellular changes, potentially promoting the development of oesophageal adenocarcinoma. Further research is needed to establish a definitive causal relationship between cholecystectomy and oesophageal adenocarcinoma.

In a groundbreaking human trial, researchers conducted transoral and transvaginal cholecystectomies, minimally invasive procedures to remove the gallbladder. The NOTES (Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery) trial aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of these novel techniques. The transoral approach involved accessing the gallbladder through the mouth, while the transvaginal approach used the vaginal route. Preliminary results indicated promising outcomes with reduced pain, minimal scarring, and faster recovery. Further studies are needed to establish the long-term benefits and wider applicability of these techniques.

According to a recent imaging study, researchers have discovered evidence of a sense of justice being hardwired into the human brain. The study utilized functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to observe brain activity while participants made decisions regarding fairness and unfairness. The findings revealed distinct patterns of neural activity associated with the perception of fairness, suggesting that the brain has an inherent capacity to process and respond to justice-related situations. This study sheds light on the biological underpinnings of our moral compass and provides insight into the origins of our sense of justice.
