Predictors of relapse in eating disorders: A meta-analysis.

Introduction: Eating disorders (EDs) have high rates of relapse. However, it is still not clear which factors are the strongest predictors of ED relapse, and the extent to which predictors of relapse may vary due to study and individual differences.

Objective: We conducted a meta-analysis to quantify and compare which factors predict relapse in EDs and evaluate various potential moderators of these relations (e.

Modified Staple Aneurysmorrhaphy for Treating Arteriovenous Fistula-Related Venous Aneurysms.

Autogenous arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) are the preferred access for hemodialysis. AVF occasionally develop venous aneurysms, and we report a modified staple aneurysmorrhaphy technique for treatment. Briefly, the lateral wall of the venous aneurysm is dissected and a longitudinal staple resection performed.

Prospective Analysis of Laparoscopic Cholecystectomies Based on Postgraduate Resident Level.

Background: Few studies have attempted to ascertain the safety of laparoscopic cholecystectomies (LC) based on resident postgraduate year. We hypothesize that there is no difference in complications based on resident level in LC.

Methods: We prospectively gathered data from 200 LC.
