Performing Esophageal Biopsies Is Safe During Upper Endoscopy for Food Impaction but Are Underperformed in Certain Populations.
Dig Dis Sci
October 2024
Center for Esophageal Diseases and Swallowing, University of North Carolina School of Medicine, UNC-CH, Chapel Hill, NC, 27599-7080, USA.
Background: Despite recommendations to perform esophageal biopsies during esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) for esophageal food impaction to evaluate for eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), endoscopists often forgo biopsies. There are minimal data on the risks of biopsies in this setting.
Aims: To determine the safety of performing biopsies during EGD for food impaction.
Expired blood transfusion and mortality outcomes in combat trauma patients.
Transfusion
September 2024
Department of Surgery, University of Washington School of Medicine, Seattle, Washington, USA.
Background: Expired blood can be transfused if clinically indicated but outcome data do not exist. We hypothesized that modestly outdated blood can effectively support a hemorrhaging patient until surgical control is achieved. This study assessed whether expired blood was associated with mortality in combat trauma patients.

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina.
Importance: Board certification can have broad implications for candidates' career trajectories, and prior research has found sociodemographic disparities in pass rates. Barriers in the format and administration of the oral board examinations may disproportionately affect certain candidates.
Objective: To characterize oral certifying examination policies and practices of the 16 Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)-accredited specialties that require oral examinations.
The i-gel supraglottic airway device compared to endotracheal intubation as the initial prehospital advanced airway device: A natural experiment during the COVID-19 pandemic.
J Am Coll Emerg Physicians Open
April 2024
Department of Emergency Medicine Orlando Health Orlando Regional Medical Center Orlando Florida USA.
Objective: Unlike randomized controlled trials, practical real-world studies can offer important information about implementation of prehospital interventions, particularly in community settings where there may be reluctance to adopt new practices. We present the results of a natural experiment that was driven by mandated COVID-19 pandemic-driven shift from endotracheal intubation (ETI) to the i-gel supraglottic airway (SGA) as a primary advanced airway management device in the prehospital setting to reduce emergency medical services (EMS) personnel exposure to potentially infectious secretions. The objective was to compare first-pass success and timing to successful airway placement between ETI and the i-gel SGA under extenuating circumstances.
