[Finger injuries in athletes].

Hand injuries in sportives are becoming increasingly common, accounting for approximately 25% of all sports-related injuries. The recent growing popularity for sports such as climbing, which even became an Olympic discipline in 2022, is increasing hand and finger injuries in the active population. Some sports are more prone to typical hand and finger injuries.

Urological outcomes in adult females born with anorectal malformation or Hirschsprung disease.

Introduction: Women born with anorectal malformation (ARM) or Hirschsprung disease (HD) may have impaired urologic function resulting in sequelae in adulthood. This study assessed and compared self-reported urinary outcomes in adult females born with ARM or HD to a reference population.

Methods: This was an IRB approved, cross-sectional study of female-born patients with ARM or HD, who completed surveys between November 2021 and August 2022.

Transanal proximal rectosigmoidectomy: a single-center experience in surgically treated severe medically refractory idiopathic constipation.

Purpose: To present the functional results after a transanal proximal rectosigmoidectomy in patients with severe idiopathic constipation in which medical treatment has failed.

Methods: Patients with severe idiopathic constipation who underwent transanal proximal rectosigmoidectomy (TPRS) at Children's Hospital Colorado between June 2019 and March 2024 were included in the study. We compared multiple pre- and post-operative outcome measures and the patient's bowel regimen before and after resection.

Enhanced identification of endocrine disruptors through integration of science-based regulatory practices and innovative methodologies: The MERLON Project.

The prevalence of hormone-related health issues caused by exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) is a significant, and increasing, societal challenge. Declining fertility rates together with rising incidence rates of reproductive disorders and other endocrine-related diseases underscores the urgency in taking more action. Addressing the growing threat of EDCs in our environment demands robust and reliable test methods to assess a broad variety of endpoints relevant for endocrine disruption.

"Take It One Dilation at a Time": Caregiver Perspectives of Postoperative Anal Dilations in Pediatric Patients with Colorectal Conditions.

Background: Postoperative anal dilations (PAD) are the standard of care for patients after a posterior sagittal anorectoplasty (PSARP) for anorectal malformation (ARM) or a transanal pull-through (TP) procedure for Hirschsprung disease (HD). This study assessed the psychosocial impact of PAD among caregivers of children with ARM or HD, which may inform postoperative care strategies.

Methods: Caregivers of patients with ARM and HD who underwent PSARP or TP within five years participated in the online survey.
