Impact of Prior Bariatric Surgery on Labor and Delivery-Related Outcomes: A Nationwide Study.

Background: Limited literature exists on labor and delivery outcomes after bariatric surgery. This study assesses the impact of prior bariatric surgery on peripartum outcomes.

Methods: We queried the National Inpatient Sample (2016-2020) for labor and delivery admissions, categorizing them into three cohorts: prior bariatric surgery (BaS), obesity without prior bariatric surgery, and controls without obesity.

Multicenter evaluation of the impact of COVID-19 on the uptake of endoscopic skills by gastroenterology trainees.

Background And Aims: The COVID-19 pandemic significantly decreased procedural volume in 2020, thus limiting training opportunities. First-year fellows (1YF) are particularly susceptible to reduction in endoscopic volume as they build foundational endoscopic skills. We used an objective validated tool, the Assessment of Competency in Endoscopy (ACE), to determine the effect of the pandemic on endoscopy competency in gastroenterology fellows.

Elucidating cognitive processes in cardiac arrest team leaders: a virtual reality-based cued-recall study of experts and novices.

Background: Team leadership during medical emergencies like cardiac arrest resuscitation is cognitively demanding, especially for trainees. These cognitive processes remain poorly characterized due to measurement challenges. Using virtual reality simulation, this study aimed to elucidate and compare communication and cognitive processes-such as decision-making, cognitive load, perceived pitfalls, and strategies-between expert and novice code team leaders to inform strategies for accelerating proficiency development.

Accuracy of Visual Estimation for Measuring Colonic Polyp Size: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: Measurement of colorectal polyps is typically performed via visual estimation, which is prone to bias. Studies have evaluated the accuracy of visual estimation and utility of assistive tools, but results have been mixed. This study aims to clarify the accuracy of visual estimation as a measurement tool, and the benefits of artificial intelligence.

[Towards understanding the fauna of buried corpses].

Is to describe the occurrence of the graveyard beetle in inhumated bodies in forensic practice and to evaluate the potential for establishing an accurate date of burial based on entomological analysis of the presence of in the remains. Numerous accumulations of graveyard beetle fragments were found in cadavers buried at a depth of 2.0-2.
