Imagine the intestines of rabbits being surgically connected, or anastomosed, after high-frequency electric welding (HFEW). This process helps us understand how quickly and effectively intestinal tissue heals. In a recent study using New Zealand rabbits, scientists found that within a week of the su

Did you know that the rate of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) has been climbing in kids from the Northern Hemisphere? But what about our region? Not much is known about EoE here, and that's where this study comes in. Climate and daily habits might play a role in how EoE shows up, so understanding and
