Objective: We examined the hypothesis that fructose consumption leads to epigenomic and transcriptomic differences associated with CRC tumor biology.

Cataract surgery, a common procedure for vision restoration, exhibits variable outcomes based on patient demographics. This study aimed to elucidate the effects of age and sex on risk factors, intraoperative complications, and postoperative outcomes of cataract surgery. A single-center retrospective cohort study analyzed 691 eyes from 589 individuals who underwent surgery at a tertiary referral center, using electronic medical records to assess preoperative risk factors, intraoperative complications, and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) pre- and post-operatively, alongside demographic data.

Background: Research supports the use of mobile phone apps to promote medication adherence, but the use of and satisfaction with these apps among medically underserved patients with chronic illnesses remain unclear.
Objective: This study reports on the overall use of and satisfaction with a medication adherence app (Medisafe) in a medically underserved population.
Methods: Medically underserved adults who received care for one or more chronic illnesses at a federally qualified health center (FQHC) were randomized to an intervention group in a larger randomized controlled trial and used the app for 1 month (n=30), after which they completed a web-based survey.
