Precision measurements by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) on the International Space Station of the deuteron (D) flux are presented. The measurements are based on 21×10^{6} D nuclei in the rigidity range from 1.9 to 21 GV collected from May 2011 to April 2021.

- Older surgical patients face a higher risk of complications, leading to increased healthcare costs, making it crucial to explore effective management approaches.
- A study compared outcomes of patients aged 70 and older who received postoperative co-management through the OSCAR program vs. those who received standard care, finding significant reductions in complications and hospital costs for the OSCAR group.
- Results showed that patients in the OSCAR program had fewer postoperative issues, shorter hospital stays, and averaged $10,297 less in hospital charges, highlighting the benefits of the co-management approach in enhancing patient care and reducing expenses.
Acute severe ulcerative colitis is a rapidly progressive severe form of colitis that can occur in 20-30% patients with ulcerative colitis. Early recognition, hospitalization at centers with experience and expertise and multidisciplinary treatment is the cornerstone of appropriate management of this condition. After excluding infections and other differentials, patients should be started on parenteral corticosteroids to control inflammation.

Following successful treatment, the standard of care is to surveille for local recurrence with both anoscopy and digital rectal examination. While high-resolution anoscopy (HRA) has been shown to identify HSIL during the surveillance period, it requires specialized training and resources.
