  • Aleksander Krag on the utility of PEth for subclassifying individuals at risk of steatotic liver disease

    Aleksander Krag on the utility of PEth for subclassifying individuals at risk of steatotic liver disease
    Feb 23 2026

    Steatotic liver disease labels hinge on alcohol intake, but self-report is often inaccurate. In this episode, Aleksander Krag (Odense University Hospital) discusses a large Danish study using phosphatidylethanol (PEth), a direct blood biomarker of recent drinking, showing substantial underestimation and potential reclassification from MASLD to MetALD/ALD.

  • Dina Kao on a trial of lyophilised sterile faecal filtrate versus lyophilised conventional donor stool for recurrent Clostridiodes difficile infection

    Dina Kao on a trial of lyophilised sterile faecal filtrate versus lyophilised conventional donor stool for recurrent Clostridiodes difficile infection
    Nov 28 2025

    Can bacteria-free, sterile faecal filtrate match conventional faecal microbiota transplantation for recurrent C difficile infection? Dina Kao (University of Alberta) unpacks a landmark multicentre trial that tested this hypothesis, and we discuss what it tells us about the role of living organisms in the therapeutic effects of microbiota-based therapies.

    Premysl Bercik on a double-blind crossover trial of gluten and wheat in IBS
    Nov 20 2025

    Do wheat or gluten trigger IBS symptoms?

    We spoke to Premysl Bercik about a randomised, double-blind, sham-controlled crossover trial that challenged adults with IBS—who reported benefit from a gluten-free diet—with wheat, gluten, or a gluten-free sham to test symptom and behavioural responses.
