Please never ignore frequent heartburn. It can be a symptom of GERD which may lead to Barrett's esophagus and/or esophageal cancer. Speak to your doctor about screening and lowering your risk. 💙💜

Research indicates that regularly consuming very hot beverages or foods, typically at temperatures above 65°C (149°F), may irritate the lining of the oesophagus, potentially leading to cellular changes that could increase the risk of cancer development over time.

This is thought to be due to thermal injury to the cells lining the oesophagus, which can cause inflammation and damage that may contribute to the development of cancerous cells.

Allowing hot drinks and foods to cool to a more moderate temperature before consumption may help reduce the risk of oesophageal cancer.

While more studies are needed to fully understand the relationship between hot food and beverage consumption and cancer risk, moderating temperature intake is a simple and potentially beneficial preventative measure.

Preoperative high dose of dexamethasone in emergency laparotomy: #RCT
➡️https://t.co/mjARht6NGz

In this #RCT of 120 patients undergoing emergency laparotomy
🔥preoperative 1 mg/kg dexamethasone significantly ⬇️ inflammation and is associated with improved recovery and postoperative morbidity and mortality
The results of this trial provide the first evidence of a potential therapeutic benefit of high-dose intravenous dexamethasone in emergency laparotomy
