Article Abstract
Background: Controversy exists regarding the impact of preoperative bowel preparation on patients undergoing colorectal surgery. This is due to previous research studies, which fail to demonstrate protective effects of mechanical bowel preparation against postoperative complications. However, in recent studies, combination therapy with oral antibiotics (OAB) and mechanical bowel preparation seems to be beneficial for patients undergoing an elective colorectal operation.
Aim: To determine the association between preoperative bowel preparation and postoperative anastomotic leak management (surgical non-surgical).
Methods: Patients with anastomotic leak after colorectal surgery were identified from the 2013 and 2014 Colectomy Targeted American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) database and were employed for analysis. Every patient was assigned to one of three following groups based on the type of preoperative bowel preparation: first group-mechanical bowel preparation in combination with OAB, second group-mechanical bowel preparation alone, and third group-no preparation.
Results: A total of 652 patients had anastomotic leak after a colectomy from January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2014. Baseline characteristics were assessed and found that there were no statistically significant differences between the three groups in terms of age, gender, American Society of Anesthesiologists score, and other preoperative characteristics. A test of homogeneity was conducted and there was no statistically/clinically significant difference between the three categories of bowel preparation in terms of reoperation.
Conclusion: The implementation of mechanical bowel preparation and antibiotic use in patients who are going to undergo a colon resection does not influence the treatment of any possible anastomotic leakage.

The cornerstone of treatment for mild ulcerative colitis is still the oral or topical (rectal) application of aminosalicylates (5-ASA). 5‑ASA preparations are often only administered orally in mild ulcerative colitis. Study data show that in ulcerative proctitis and left-sided colitis, rectal 5‑ASA preparations are even more effective than oral administration.

Background Inpatient bowel preparation is often suboptimal. Few interventions have been effective at improving its success rate. We determined the clinical features associated with suboptimal inpatient bowel preparation and analyzed the ability of an easily implementable set of instructions inserted into the electronic health record to improve the success of bowel preparation.

Background: Preconception health education is critical to improve pregnancy and neonatal outcomes, but people with mobility disabilities have specific, often unique issues related to preparing for pregnancy. This study sought to develop consensus-based domains for a preconception education curriculum for people with mobility disabilities.
Methods: We used a mixed methods approach, including a literature review and a Delphi method to develop consensus.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease initially treated with mesalazine (5-ASA). However, its effectiveness is limited by rapid absorption, low colonic concentration, and exacerbation of dysbiosis. Probiotics can mitigate dysbiosis if they survive the acidic conditions of the stomach.

Bile acids (BAs), not only promote the absorption of fat-soluble nutrients and regulate the metabolism of multiple substances but also have a potential role as diagnostic and prognostic indicators in a variety of diseases such as cholestasis, hepatocellular carcinoma, and diabetes mellitus. Here, a rapid and sensitive liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for the simultaneous quantification of 50 BAs was developed and validated. Sample preparation included internal standard spiking, followed by protein precipitation, centrifugation, solvent evaporation, and reconstitution.
