Occurrence of adult ‐onset Still's disease after coronavirus disease 2019 BNT162B2 vaccination in a patient with ulcerative colitis: A case report and review of literature
We report an extremely rare occurrence of adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) in a patient with ulcerative colitis. The possibility of autoinflammatory conditions such as AOSD should be considered when evaluating or treating symptoms suspected as side effects of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 vaccination, regardless of the associated comorbidities.SummaryA woman in her 50s with a history of stable ulcerative colitis (UC) for 20 years, managed using salazosulfapyridine, presented with migratory rashes, spiking fever, edema, and joint pain that started 1 week after receiving the BNT162B2 mRNA vaccine...

Bezoars: Culprits of gastrointestinal obstruction that may lead to surgical intervention and potentially surgical complications
This report demonstrates that alt hough bezoars are rare, they can cause significant obstruction of the gastrointestinal tract leading to the need for management, such as surgery, which carries its own risks. It is important to note that the postsurgical complication of pelvic abscess can occur due to surgery itself and not because of bezoar specifically. Abdominal surgery in general poses the risk of pelvic abscess. The consideration is to expectantly decrease the occurrence of bezoars so that consequently there will not be a need for surgery in removal of bezoars due to obstruction. The effects of bezoars can be prevente...

Laparoscopic Pre-pregnancy Trans-Abdominal Cerclage: Operative and Pregnancy Outcomes for a Novel Technique for Suture Placement Using Port Closure Device
We report operative and pregnancy outcomes for pre-pregnancy laparoscopic abdominal cerclage using the port closure device compared to traditional approach.For pre-pregnancy laparoscopic TAC(n=52), the port closure device approach is associated with lower blood loss at surgery and hospital length of stay (0.95+-4.4 mls vs 5.4+-15.7mls, p=0.007; 0.0(0.0-0.0) days vs 1.0(0.0-1.0) days, p (Source: American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology)

Unveiling the future of breast cancer assessment: a critical review on generative adversarial networks in elastography ultrasound
This article highlights that GANs can successfully generate accurate elastograms for deep-seated breast tumors (without having artifacts) and improve diagnostic effectiveness for pocket US. Furthermore, the results of the GAN framework are thoroughly analyzed by considering the quantitative metrics, visual evaluations, and cancer diagnostic accuracy. Finally, essential unaddressed challenges that lie at the intersection of elastography and GANs are presented, and a few future directions are shared for the elastogram synthesis research.

Feasibility and acceptability of undertaking postmortem studies for tuberculosis medical research in a low income country
We report good acceptability of the next-of-kin to consent for their relative’s tissue to be used for medical research; that postmortem and tissue processing can be undertaken within 8 hours following death; and that immune cells remain viable and functional up to 14 hours after death.DiscussionPostmortem procedures remain a valuable and essential tool both to establish cause of death, and to advance our medical and scientific understanding of infectious diseases.

Tumor-killing viruses score rare success in late-stage trial
Once touted as the next big thing in cancer therapy, tumor-attacking viruses have been a letdown, failing in multiple clinical trials as far back as 1949. But preliminary results from a small phase 3 study presented at a conference last week suggest these unconventional cancer treatments, known as oncolytic viruses, might work after all. The data showed that an oncolytic virus developed by Irvine, California–based CG Oncology eliminated tumors in 64% of 66 patients with bladder cancer that didn’t respond to mainline treatment.
The follow-up period was only 6 months, and much more research is necessary. But even a...

Comparison of crystallized phenol and Karidakis flap treatment in pilonidal sinus disease
In this study, we aimed to compare the results of Karidakis flap reconstruction with crystallized phenol in pilonidal sinus treatment.METHODS: 216 patients treated for pilonidal sinus disease with the researched methods between June 2016 and July 2019 were included in the study.RESULTS: 142 (65.7%) of the patients were treated with the KFR technique and 74 (34.3%) with the crystallized phenol method. Of the patients included in the study, 157 (72.7%) were male, and 59 (27.3%) were female. The mean age was calculated as 24.89 (± 8.4). The mean hospital stay in the KFR group was 1.21 (± 0.4) days. The mean time to return t...

Promoting wound recovery through stable intestinal flora: Reducing post-operative complications in colorectal cancer surgery patients
This study examined the relationship between intestinal flora stability and post-operative recovery in patients undergoing CRC surgery. Between May 2020 and 2023, 80 CRC patients from our hospital's Colorectal Surgery Department were enrolled. A random number table was used to divide them into two categories. Both groups were subjected to distinct gastrointestinal preparation protocols. Indicators of clinical therapeutic effect, intestinal flora balance following surgery, post-operative complications and quality of life were evaluated. The observation group, which adhered to a distinct gastrointestinal regimen, demonstrate...

Associated factors of sexual dysfunction among postpartum women in Taiwan- a cross-sectional study
This study aimed to investigate associated factors of sexual dysfunction among postpartum women. This study used a cross-sectional study design. A total of 135 postpartum women from a teaching hospital in northern Taiwan who met the inclusion criteria were recruited. SPSS version 22.0 was used to analyze data including descriptive and bivariate analysis. A multiple linear regression was using to identify the predictors of sexual dysfunction among Taiwanese postpartum women. Results indicated that the categories of sexual dysfunction that most commonly experienced in postpartum women were lack of sexual desire, delay or abs...

An investigation of healthcare professionals ’ perspectives on the tasks of mental health counselors in hospital settings
In this study, we attempted to understand what other healthcare professionals considered mental health counselors ’ (MHCs) tasks in their hospital setting to facilitate medical and mental health services and enhance patients’ well-being. Using an exploratory sequential mixed-methods design (concept mapping), we obtained 3 regions of MHCs’ tasks (i.e., Overarching Roles and Responsibilities of MHCs in the Hospital Setting, MHCs’ Specific Roles in the Hospital Setting, and MHCs’ Roles and Responsibilities as a Multidisciplinary Team Member) represented in 11 clusters. We discussed the results with implications for ...

When health care sickens the health care worker: Commentary on Park et al. (2023)
AbstractIn their survey, Park and colleagues (2023) reported that many health care and hospital workers perceived that their safety was not a priority during the COVID-19 pandemic, with 33.9% of responders feeling betrayed by institutional leaders. Employees of the health care system reported being viewed more as servants than specialists during the pandemic, and they noted that critical assessment and the expression of one's own opinion were unwelcome (Lederer, 2023). A lack of epidemiologic knowledge was compensated with the inflexible strategy of a hierarchical system. Opting out of testing and vaccination justified exp...

Using Consumer Wearable Devices to Profile Postoperative Complications After Pediatric Appendectomy
Markers of postoperative recovery in pediatric patients are difficult for parents to evaluate after hospital discharge, who use subjective proxies to assess recovery and the onset of complications. Consumer-grade wearable devices (e.g., Fitbit) generate objective recovery data in near real time and thus may provide an opportunity to remotely monitor postoperative patients and identify complications beyond the initial hospitalization. The aim of this study was to use daily step counts from a Fitbit to compare recovery in patients with complications to those without complications after undergoing appendectomy for complicated...
