Probiotics in type 2 diabetes therapy - are they effective? A meta-analysis.
Conclusions This meta-analysis of available RCTs suggests that probiotic supplementation might improve, at least to some extent, metabolic control in subjects with T2DM. However, regarding their future use in the supportive treatment of T2DM larger, well - designed long-term RCTs are needed to confirm any potentially beneficial relationship between the use of probiotics and modifiable cardiometabolic risk factors.

Management of Barrett's esophagus - a practical guide for clinicians based on the BADCAT and BOB CAT recommendations.
In conclusion, fewerpeople should be surveyed but those that do will require more detailed mapping and endoscopic interventions than currently. In addition those accumulating other potentially life threatening comorbidities should offered cessation of surveillance. In the future chemoprevention may be the game changing solution but results from large randomized trials including AspECT and BOSS are awaited.
