Introduction: This was a single-center retrospective study to evaluate incidence, prognosis, and risk factors in patients with postoperative pleural effusions, a common pulmonary complication following liver transplantation.
Methods: A retrospective review was performed on 374 liver transplantation cases through a database within the timeframe of January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2015. Demographics, pulmonary and cardiac function testing, laboratory studies, intraoperative transfusion/infusion volumes, postoperative management, and outcomes were analyzed.
Background: Although data on the association between colorectal adenomas and Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) exists in White and Black patients, there is no data on this association in a US Hispanic population. Our aim was to study the association of adenoma detection and biopsy proven H.

- The study investigates the link between lipid levels and colorectal adenomas specifically in the Hispanic population, which has been previously overlooked compared to white and black patients.
- The analysis of 1,473 patients revealed that while elevated triglycerides and cholesterol were linked to colorectal adenomas in the general population, this correlation was not observed in Hispanic patients.
- The findings suggest that environmental factors, diet, or genetics may play a role in the absence of this association in Hispanics, highlighting the need for further research in this area.
Background: Although data on the inverse association between colorectal adenomas (CRA) and daily aspirin or statin therapy exists in white and black patients, scarce data exists on these associations in the Hispanic population. With a rapidly increasing Hispanic population in the United States, defining the association in Hispanics is crucial.
Methods: The study sample included 1,843 consecutive patients who underwent a colonoscopy (screening or diagnostic) from 2009 to 2011 at a community hospital in East Meadow, New York.
