Endoscopic microsurgery effective for giant rectal adenomas Posted: 28 Aug 2012 05:00 PM PDT Transanal endoscopic microsurgery on large rectal adenomas provides results comparable to or better than those reported for alternative techniques, shows a UK study.

Country drinking water may pose child health risk Posted: 28 Aug 2012 05:00 PM PDT Findings from a UK study published in PLoS ONE suggest that small private drinking water supplies, typically found in countryside locations, are more likely to be contaminated and result in gastrointestinal illness in children than standard mains water supplies.

Evidence lacking for use of misoprostol in PPH prevention Posted: 28 Aug 2012 05:00 PM PDT There is insufficient evidence for the effectiveness of misoprostol in preventing postpartum hemorrhage, suggest findings from a review of available research published in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine.
