last month issued draft guidelines recommending all baby boomers be tested for hepatitis C. One in 30 people born between 1945 and 1965 is infected but doesn't know it.

Recently the number of people dying from hepatitis C has doubled. Dr. David Pound of Indianapolis Gastroenterology and Hepatology discusses the virus.

The timing of the first follow up colonoscopy after a patient is diagnosed with a pre cancerous polyp is well established.  It is not well known, however, exactly when a colonoscopy should be done following the first follow up or surveillance exam.  Is there a way to define better how frequently patients need to have follow up colonoscopies after the first surveillance exam? 

To answer this question, Dr. Michael Morelli of Indianapolis Gastroenterology and Hepatology (IGH), conducted a research study over the course of 5 years through the Indianapolis Gastroenterology and Hepatology Research Foundation.
