Article Synopsis
- This study looked at the risk of bleeding after patients leave the hospital, which is often not taken seriously, leading to more health problems and hospital visits.
- Researchers created a computer-based system to identify bleeding risks using patient health records, and they checked its accuracy by reviewing medical charts.
- They found that people discharged from the hospital had a much higher chance of experiencing serious bleeding compared to those who had not been hospitalized recently, highlighting the need for more attention on this issue.
Objectives: Primary care providers (PCPs) prescribe medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD), but patients may receive MOUD from a provider who only prescribes MOUD, and who does not provide routine medical care that would be expected from a PCP. The importance of receiving MOUD from one's own PCP versus another provider on patient MOUD retention is not known.
Methods: All patients receiving MOUD from December 2016 through November 2019 within a rural, Federally Qualified Health Center were included.
Introduction: Television (TV) viewing may be associated with increased venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk independent of VTE risk factors including physical activity. This association was assessed in a large biracial US cohort of Black and White adults.
Methods: Between 2003 and 2007 The Reasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) Study recruited 30,239 participants aged ≥45 years, who were surveyed for baseline TV viewing and followed for VTE events.
Background: The safety of undiverted restorative proctocolectomy (RPC) is debated. This study compares long-term outcomes after pouch leak in diverted and undiverted RPC patients.
Methods: Data were obtained from a prospectively maintained registry from a single surgical practice.
Background: Anastomotic complications related to tissue ischemia cause morbidity in gastrointestinal (GI) surgery. Surgeons' standard practice to predict bowel perfusion is inspection of mesenteric perfusion before anastomosing bowel ends. Augmenting this assessment with fluorescent imaging is under study.

There are only a small series of articles that describe sporadic cases of perianal cancer in Crohn's disease fistulas. Therefore, there are no clear guidelines on how to appropriately screen patients at risk and choose proper management.
