- The study examines the rising rates of early onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC) among African American patients, highlighting significant differences between EOCRC (<45 years) and late-onset colorectal cancer (LOCRC) (>45 years) in terms of demographics and clinical presentation.
- It found that EOCRC cases increased from just over 6% to over 13% of total CRC cases since 2010, with a higher family history of CRC and different symptom profiles, such as more abdominal pain and changes in bowel habits.
- The study also noted that EOCRC patients had a higher rate of metastasis at diagnosis and took longer to undergo surgery compared to LOCRC patients.
Article Synopsis
- An obstetric fistula is a severe complication from childbirth that creates an abnormal connection between the urinary tract or gastrointestinal tract and the genital tract, often due to prolonged and obstructed labor.
- Contributing factors like early marriage, poverty, and lack of access to proper healthcare have led to a high incidence of this condition in Ethiopia.
- Australian doctors Reginald and Catherine Hamlin moved to Ethiopia in 1959, developed a surgical technique for fistula repair, and founded the Addis Ababa Fistula Repair Hospital, helping over 60,000 women with transformative surgeries.
We report the case of a 62-year-old male who presented to the Emergency Department (ED) with altered mental status following a motor vehicle accident. He was transferred to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) with worsening of his neurological status and subsequently diagnosed with Murray Valley encephalitis: a serious but rare condition caused by infection with Murray Valley encephalitis virus (MVEV). He continued to deteriorate despite treatment with antivirals, glucocorticoids, and therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) in addition to supportive care and eventually succumbed to his illness.

A pitfall of the common pairwise approach is that it misses the higher-order interactions potentially responsible for maintaining natural diversity.
