Is it just gas or GERD? How to tell the difference between digestive discomforts
Dyspepsia, commonly referred to as gas, represents a combination of symptoms which include upper abdominal pain, burning, early satiation and fullness involving the upper abdomen usually in close relation to food intake. It is broadly divided into functional and organic causes, wherein functional dyspepsia has no underlying cause after evaluation and organic dyspepsia is known to be due to a secondary cause like an infection or ulcer after evaluation.
GERD, on the other hand, is due to the backflow of stomach contents into the lower esophagus (food pipe), which gives rise to classical symptoms of heartburn and regurgitation. It may also cause excessive salivation, lump in throat sensation, difficulty or pain in swallowing, chest pain, cough, hoarseness of voice and even nausea. It is primarily caused due to reduced functioning of the muscle at the bottom of the food pipe, known as the lower esophageal sphincter.

Freezing Cancer: How Cryotherapy is Changing Bone and Soft Tissue Tumour Treatment
As we mark Sarcoma Awareness Month, Dr. Srimanth B S, Lead Consultant – Orthopaedic Oncology at Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road, sheds light on the growing role of cryotherapy in managing bone and soft tissue tumours, including sarcomas. Cryotherapy uses extremely cold temperatures, often below –100°C, to freeze and destroy tumour cells. From minimally invasive cryoablation to advanced bone cancer surgeries, this technique is being successfully applied in treating both benign and malignant tumours.
In limb-salvage procedures, it allows surgeons to treat and reuse the affected bone with implants, helping patients retain mobility and avoid amputations. With precision and fewer complications, cryotherapy is fast becoming a valuable tool in orthopaedic cancer care.
