Published: May 2022

Previous research found mixed results for clutter's impact on individuals' sense of home and subjective well-being in a variety of samples. In this retrospective cross-sectional study, archival data were utilized to examine the relationship between clutter, psychological home, and subjective well-being across two age categories, specifically older adults aged ≥65 ( = 225), and younger adults aged ≤64 ( = 225). Three moderation analyses used age categories as a moderator exploring the relationship between (a) clutter predicting psychological home, (b) psychological home predicting subjective well-being, and (c) clutter predicting subjective well-being. Results found that age categories significantly moderated the relationship between clutter and psychological home but did not moderate the other variable relationships.

Purpose Of Review: This review aims to explain the causes, diagnosis, and treatment of malnutrition in hospitalized patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), focusing on both adults and children.

Recent Findings: Malnutrition is common among IBD patients, affecting up to 85% of individuals, and is linked to higher rates of illness, death, and longer hospital stays. Recent studies highlight the importance of early detection using tools like the Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) and handgrip strength tests.

Automating excellence: A breakthrough in emergency general surgery quality benchmarking.

J Trauma Acute Care Surg

January 2025

From the Division of Trauma, Surgical Critical Care, Burns and Acute Care Surgery, Department of Surgery (L.A.P., Z.M., J.M., B.H., T.W.C., L.N.H., A.B., L.A., J.J.D., J.E.S.), UC San Diego School of Medicine, San Diego, California; and Division of Acute Care Surgery, Department of Surgery (A.E.L.), University of Missouri School of Medicine, Columbia, Missouri.

Background: Given the high mortality and morbidity of emergency general surgery (EGS), designing and implementing effective quality assessment tools is imperative. Currently accepted EGS risk scores are limited by the need for manual extraction, which is time-intensive and costly. We developed an automated institutional electronic health record (EHR)-linked EGS registry that calculates a modified Emergency Surgery Score (mESS) and a modified Predictive OpTimal Trees in Emergency Surgery Risk (POTTER) score and demonstrated their use in benchmarking outcomes.

The study of heat tolerance in Drosophila melanogaster has been of particular interest to researchers for decades, with a common approach to assessing heat tolerance being to monitor the time to knockdown (TKD) after exposure to an elevated temperature. Classically, flies are housed in individual vials and placed inside a heated water bath. TKD is then monitored manually by researchers.

Objective: Identification of patients with head-and-neck malignancies who are especially vulnerable to malnutrition is critical for optimizing outcomes. The objectives are; to correlate Bioelectrical-impendence-analysis (BIA) parameters with Subjective-Global-Assessment (SGA) scores, and determine the association of BIA parameters with common perioperative complications in patients undergoing head-and-neck surgery.

Study Design: Patients underwent formal SGA scoring and BIA preoperatively in a multidisciplinary allied health clinic.
