Assessing inclusion and representativeness on digital platforms for health education: Evidence from YouTube.

Background: Studies confirm that significant biases exist in online recommendation platforms, exacerbating pre-existing disparities and leading to less-than-optimal outcomes for underrepresented demographics. We study issues of bias in inclusion and representativeness in the context of healthcare information disseminated via videos on the YouTube social media platform, a widely used online channel for multi-media rich information. With one in three US adults using the Internet to learn about a health concern, it is critical to assess inclusivity and representativeness regarding how health information is disseminated by digital platforms such as YouTube.

Replaced Segment 6 Artery From the Gastroduodenal Artery: A Challenging and Rare Anatomical Variation of Hepatic Artery in Pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Variations in the hepatic artery's anatomy can significantly impact planning and executing pancreatic and hepatobiliary surgeries. Of these, the commonest are variations of right and left hepatic arteries originating from superior mesenteric and left gastric arteries, respectively. The anomalous origin of the right hepatic artery from the gastroduodenal artery (GDA) is among the rarest and most challenging anatomy, especially in patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) since GDA ligation is a mandatory step, which may threaten the liver blood supply.

Robotic-Assisted Splenectomy by a Modified Lateral Approach: Technique and Outcomes.

Introduction The utilization of robot-assisted technique for splenectomy has recently gained popularity especially in patients undergoing splenectomy for hematological indications owing to its magnification of and easy manipulation of internal abdominal organs. Moreover, robotic splenectomy emerged as an essential teaching module before approaching more complex robotic procedures. Methods  A total of 43 elective splenectomies were performed for hematological indications in Department of Surgical Gastroenterology, Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research (JIPMER) between January 2018 to July 2023 of which 14 patients underwent robotic splenectomy.

Necrotising Inflammation of Peri-Pancreatic Tissue With Normal Appearance of Pancreas Is a Distinct Entity of Acute Pancreatitis: Report of Two Cases With Review of Literature.

Improved insights into the pathophysiology of acute pancreatitis have paved the way for identification of distinct entities in the spectrum of the disease. The presence of necrotising inflammation limited to peripancreatic tissue with a normal appearance of pancreas is one such entity. This entity, described as extrapancreatic necrotising pancreatitis (EPN), is considered a less aggressive form of acute necrotising pancreatitis.

A Pragmatic Approach to Pancreatic Trauma: A Single-Center Experience From a Tertiary Care Center.

Introduction Pancreatic trauma is rare and is usually associated with adjacent organ and vascular injuries, which adds to the high morbidity and mortality. In the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) pancreatic trauma (PT) grading system, the higher grades are a composite of less and more severe extents of injuries. We hereby present an observational study of PT with management based on an indigenous algorithmic approach.

Primary nonfunction of renal allograft secondary to acute oxalate nephropathy.

Primary nonfunction (PNF) accounts for 0.6 to 8% of renal allograft failure, and the focus on causes of PNF has changed from rejection to other causes. Calcium oxalate (CaOx) deposition is common in early allograft biopsies, and it contributes in moderate intensity to higher incidence of acute tubular necrosis and poor graft survival.
