Management of recurrent intussusception after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.

While intussusception is a well described complication of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), cases of recurrent intussusception after lead point resection and reconstruction are described much less frequently. We present a case of a 28-year-old female with triple recurrent intussusception all of which were treated with surgical resection and reconstruction of her RYGB anastomoses. There is currently limited evidence to direct management in the setting of recurrent intussusception.

Association of Limited Health Literacy With Frailty, Health-Related Quality of Life, and Health Care Utilization Among Older Adults With Cancer: The Cancer and Aging Resilience Evaluation Registry.

Purpose: Limited health literacy-ability to obtain, process, and understand health information-can hinder communication, access to medical treatment, and identification and management of comorbidities. Older adults have high rates of poor health literacy, but its role in aging-related outcomes among older adults with cancer is understudied.

Evaluation of infectivity, length of infection, and immune response of avian reovirus variants in egg-laying hens.

Avian reovirus-infected hens shed virus heavily at 2-3 days post-inoculation.Shedding became minimal after 5-7 days post-inoculation.ARV variants offered 100% protection in hens upon subsequent infections.
