American College of Physicians (ACP)

A multinational cohort study of persons with atrial fibrillation (AF) found that compared with all direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), apixaban was associated with lower rates of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding but similar rates of ischemic stroke, intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), and all-cause mortality. The findings are published in Annals of Internal Medicine.

Study Finds Unexpected Protective Properties of Pain
Harvard Medical School

The classic view of pain is that it protects by detecting and signaling the presence of harmful agents, but new research shows pain can shield the gut more directly. Experiments in mice show that activated pain neurons induce intestinal cells to release mucus that coats and protects the intestine both under normal conditions and during inflammation. The findings raise concerns about long-term use of certain medications that suppress protective pain signaling in conditions such as colitis and migraine.
