Electronic Health Record Burden Among Gastroenterology Providers Associated With Subspecialty and Training.

Introduction: Use of the electronic health record (EHR) has become increasingly widespread. Higher EHR burden is associated with burnout, but this has not been specifically investigated among gastroenterology (GI) providers.

Methods: We retrospectively collected measures of EHR use for outpatient GI providers during a 6-month period.

Time to Flexible Sigmoidoscopy or Colonoscopy in Patients Admitted With Ulcerative Colitis Has Decreased From 2012 to 2018.

Background: Early endoscopic evaluation of patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) enables assessment of disease activity and accurate diagnosis based on exclusion of other similarly presenting conditions including infections. Early endoscopy is also associated with improved outcomes of patients with active UC. The aim of this study was determining temporal trends in endoscopy in patients with UC over a 7-year period from 2012 to 2018.

GRHL2 coordinates regeneration of a polarized mucociliary epithelium from basal stem cells.

Pseudostratified airway epithelium of the lung is composed of polarized ciliated and secretory cells maintained by basal stem/progenitor cells. An important question is how lineage choice and differentiation are coordinated with apical-basal polarity and epithelial morphogenesis. Our previous studies indicated a key integrative role for the transcription factor Grainyhead-like 2 (Grhl2).
