Background: To compare the results of a total laparoscopic versus open approach 3-time ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) for patients with acute or severe colitis complicating inflammatory bowel disease.
Methods: Consecutive subtotal colectomy was followed by IPAA then by stoma closure. Between 2000 and 2006, 23 consecutive patients, operated through a total laparoscopic approach were well matched with 22 patients operated by open approach.
Results: Overall major complications rate was lower after laparoscopic than after open approach (5/23 vs. 9/22; NS). Mean hospital stay for the 3 consecutive procedures was significantly reduced after laparoscopic versus open approach (27+/-7 d vs. 39+/-27 d; P<0.05).
Conclusions: Our case-control study suggests that, in experienced centers, a total laparoscopic approach can be viewed as a viable alternative to conventional open 3-step IPAA for the treatment of acute or severe colitis complicating inflammatory bowel disease.

Successful Healing After Minimally Invasive Subtalar Fusion Following Comminuted Open Calcaneus Fracture: A Case Report.
JBJS Case Connect
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedics, Mass General Brigham, Boston, Massachusetts.
Case: A 51-year-old male polytrauma patient presented with bilateral calcaneus fractures after a fall. This report describes treatment of his right comminuted Sanders IV calcaneus fracture with percutaneous open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) and minimally invasive surgery (MIS) primary subtalar fusion to restore alignment and preserve soft tissue.
Conclusion: Unlike traditional open approaches, which are prone to wound complications due to larger incisions, our approach of maintaining fracture alignment during joint preparation using an MIS burr for acute posttrauma subtalar arthrodesis and percutaneous ORIF appears to have reduced these risks, resulting in successful radiological healing and functional recovery at 1-year follow-up.
Abnormal Esophageal Scintigraphy Associates With a Distinct Clinical Phenotype in Patients With Systemic Sclerosis.
ACR Open Rheumatol
January 2025
UTHealth Houston, Houston, Texas.
Objective: In systemic sclerosis (SSc), absent contractility (AC) rather than ineffective esophageal motility on manometry is associated with a severe esophageal and extraintestinal phenotype. We sought to determine whether slow esophageal transit on scintigraphy associates with a comparable clinical phenotype to that of AC on manometry, as scintigraphy may serve as a noninvasive approach to risk-stratify patients with SSc.
Methods: Clinical, demographic, and serologic features were compared between patients with and without delayed esophageal transit on scintigraphy.

Gram-positive bacteria pose significant threats to human health, necessitating the development of targeted bacterial detection and eradication strategies. Nevertheless, current approaches often suffer from poor targeting specificity. Herein, the study utilizes purple rice lixivium to synthesize biomass carbon dots (termed BCDs) with wheat germ agglutinin-like residues for precisely targeting Gram-positive bacteria.

Background: The Crohn's disease exclusion diet (CDED) has been shown to induce remission in adult Crohn's disease (CD) patients. The aim of the study is to provide additional evidence-based validation.
Methods: We conducted an open-label, randomized trial on adult CD patients with mild-to-moderate symptoms to assess CDED efficacy in inducing symptomatic remission using Mediterranean diet as control.
