Lifting agent granuloma presenting as a colonic mass mimicking cancer: a report of three cases.

Background: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved submucosal injection of lifting agents such as ORISE has become a widespread, routine and standard practice in endoscopic mucosal resection and endoscopic submucosal dissection of gastrointestinal lesions. Lifting agent granulomas result from transformation of injected material into a mass-forming amorphous hyaline-like material eliciting a strong foreign body giant cell reaction. This report of three cases shows how lifting agent granulomas can act as potential clinical and gross mimickers of invasive adenocarcinoma.

Feasibility, acceptability and potential efficacy of a virtual physical activity program in primary and secondary schools in New South Wales, Australia: A quasi-experimental study.

Issue Addressed: Child and youth participation in physical activity (PA) is fundamental for healthy development and obesity prevention. Government policy requires schools to offer 150 minutes of PA each week, however compliance is low. Race around Australia (RAA) is a New South Wales (NSW) Department of Education, virtual PA program aimed at assisting schools in meeting the PA guidelines.

Exploring Parent Support Needs during the Newborn Hearing Diagnosis Pathway.

Universal newborn hearing screening (UNHS) facilitates early detection of permanent congenital hearing loss in newborns. In recognition of specific needs among parents, support services have been established within some UNHS programs, including the Victorian Infant Hearing Screening Program (VIHSP). Despite this, there is limited research about how to best support parents in the context of well-established UNHS programs.

Diabetes regulates fructose absorption through thioredoxin-interacting protein.

Metabolic studies suggest that the absorptive capacity of the small intestine for fructose is limited, though the molecular mechanisms controlling this process remain unknown. Here we demonstrate that thioredoxin-interacting protein (Txnip), which regulates glucose homeostasis in mammals, binds to fructose transporters and promotes fructose absorption by the small intestine. Deletion of in mice reduced fructose transport into the peripheral bloodstream and liver, as well as the severity of adverse metabolic outcomes resulting from long-term fructose consumption.

Body Size Changes Among National Collegiate Athletic Association New England Division III Football Players, 1956-2014: Comparison With Age-Matched Population Controls.

Context: Collegiate football programs encourage athletes to pursue high body weights.

Objective: To examine position-dependent trends over time in body size characteristics among football players in the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division III New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) from 1956 to 2014 and to compare the observed absolute and relative changes with those in age-matched male population controls.

Design: Descriptive laboratory study.
