Celiac Disease on the Rise in the US Military Population: A 22 Year Retrospective Epidemiologic Study.

Introduction: We describe celiac disease epidemiology in the US military population.

Methods: This is a population-based study from data collected between 2000 and 2021. Incidence and prevalence rates and descriptive statistics for demographics are presented.

Anti-Integrin αvβ6 Autoantibodies Are a Novel Biomarker That Antedate Ulcerative Colitis.

Background & Aims: Better biomarkers for prediction of ulcerative colitis (UC) development and prognostication are needed. Anti-integrin αvβ6 (anti-αvβ6) autoantibodies have been described in patients with UC. We tested for the presence of anti-αvβ6 antibodies in the preclinical phase of UC and studied their association with disease-related outcomes after diagnosis.

Hemato-CHEESE-ia: A Case of Red Stools Caused by a Spicy Cheesy Snack.

A 22-year-old male presented to the ED following an episode of acute-onset abdominal pain and passage of red stools. On a detailed review of his dietary history, the patient reported eating a whole large bag of Flamin' Hot Cheetos the day prior to the episode. We describe a case of food dye mimicking hematochezia and explore the effects of capsaicin on the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.

Diospyrobezoar Formation in Patient With Sleeve Gastrectomy.

The ingestion of Asian persimmons, , is a known cause of gastric bezoars. Patients with a history of gastric operations are at high risk for formation. Different forms of bariatric surgery have been implicated, but literature for bezoar following a sleeve gastrectomy is scarce.

Paradoxical Bronchoconstriction with Short-Acting Beta Agonist.

Unlabelled: BACKGROUND Asthma is a common disease in the U.S.

Population: Initial therapy in the stepwise approach for asthma management is short-acting β₂-agonist (SABA) therapy as needed for symptom control.

Sevelamer-Induced Gastrointestinal Injury Presenting as Gastroenteritis.

End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is a common disease encountered in clinical practice and is associated with increasing metabolic derangements through disease progression. Phosphate retention is one of the most common derangements and is associated with increased mortality. Hyperphosphatemia becomes increasingly prevalent as glomerular filtration rate decreases.
