Enhanced Disease-Specific Survival Among Individuals With Malignant Adnexal Tumors of the Skin Treated With Mohs Surgery: A National Database Study.

A murine model of pediatric inflammatory bowel disease causes microbiota-gut-brain axis deficits in adulthood.

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are chronic intestinal diseases, frequently associated with comorbid psychological and cognitive deficits. These neuropsychiatric effects include anxiety, depression, and memory impairments that can be seen both during active disease and following remission and are more frequently seen in pediatric patients. The mechanism(s) through which these extraintestinal deficits develop remain unknown, and the study of these phenomenon is hampered by a lack of murine pediatric IBD models.
