Integration of lipidomics with targeted, single cell, and spatial transcriptomics defines an unresolved pro-inflammatory state in colon cancer.

Background: Over a century ago, Virchow proposed that cancer represents a chronically inflamed, poorly healing wound. Normal wound healing is represented by a transitory phase of inflammation, followed by a pro-resolution phase, with prostaglandin (PGE2/PGD2)-induced 'lipid class switching' producing inflammation-quenching lipoxins (LXA4, LXB4).

Objective: We explored if lipid dysregulation in colorectal cancers (CRCs) is driven by a failure to resolve inflammation.

Robotic Assisted Lapendoscopic Single-Site Surgery for Ileal Deep Endometriosis. A Case Report and Review of Literature.

The prevalence of deep endometriosis invading the bowel is unknown but has been estimated to affect between 3.8% and 37% of women with endometriosis. The most common locations of bowel endometriosis are the sigmoid colon and rectum.

Championing racial equity within mental health systems: Perceptions and experiences among state government organization staff leading the charge.

The COVID-19 pandemic and police brutality, especially the murder of George Floyd, have intensified the focus on racial equity within a diverse array of organizations. While a variety of strategies are employed in the pursuit of racial equity in mental health care, there is a notable gap in recognizing the crucial role of individual staff driving change within organizations. Few studies have examined these individuals and the ways they think about their work and its impact.

Modified Graham Patch Repair of Small Bowel Anastomotic Leak.

The modified Graham patch repair is a well-established technique for management of perforating foregut injuries, often learned by surgeons during general surgery training. There is, however, little to no data regarding the utilization of this technique for perforation of the distal midgut or in the re-operative field. We present two cases of midgut anastomotic complications successfully managed with modified graham patch repair at our institution.
