It will take years before we can understand and measure the full toll that the COVID-19 pandemic has taken on our health systems. Of the many reverberations from the pandemic, one of the most concerning implications is an increase in the rates of preventable harm. Four years of unprecedented demand on healthcare services combined with health human resource shortages and clinician burnout have pushed our systems to the brink - and are impacting our capacity to improve or even maintain standards of care.

Research elucidating the role of the microbiome in carcinogenesis has grown exponentially over the past decade. Initially isolated to associative studies on colon cancer development, the field has expanded to encompass nearly every solid and liquid malignancy that may afflict the human body. Investigations are rapidly progressing from association to causation and one particular area of causal effect relates to microbial metabolites and how they influence cancer development, progression, and treatment response.

Huntington's disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disease with the age at which characteristic symptoms manifest strongly influenced by inherited HTT CAG length. Somatic CAG expansion occurs throughout life and understanding the impact of somatic expansion on neurodegeneration is key to developing therapeutic targets. In 57 HD gene expanded (HDGE) individuals, ~23 years before their predicted clinical motor diagnosis, no significant decline in clinical, cognitive or neuropsychiatric function was observed over 4.

Purpose: We aimed to evaluate health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in intestinal failure (IF) patients after different modes of intestinal rehabilitation.
Methods: HRQoL was assessed using the generic 36-item Short Form Survey (SF-36, ver. 2) and visual analogue scale (VAS) in 6 different areas: diet, sleep, gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, diarrhea, musculoskeletal pain, and other symptoms.

Introduction: The rapid adoption of electronic health record (EHR) systems has resulted in extensive archives of data relevant to clinical research, hospital operations, and the development of learning health systems. However, EHR data are not frequently available, cleaned, standardized, validated, and ready for use by stakeholders. We describe an in-progress effort to overcome these challenges with cooperative, systematic data extraction and validation.
