Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)-associated spondyloarthritis (SpA) is common but remains poorly understood. In this review article, we aimed to provide guidance regarding the diagnosis and management of this condition. For diagnosis of IBD-associated peripheral SpA (IBD-pSpA), we recommend collaboration with rheumatology for incorporation of clinical symptoms, physical examination findings, joint imaging if applicable, and available diagnostic criteria. For the management of IBD-pSpA, we first recommend assessment and treatment of underlying luminal IBD disease activity. We provide guidance regarding positioning of advanced therapies for IBD in patients with IBD-pSpA based on the limited available literature. For diagnosis of IBD-associated axial SpA, we recommend rheumatology referral to make the diagnosis based on incorporation of symptoms, laboratory data, imaging findings (sacroiliitis), and available diagnostic criteria. For the management of axial SpA, we recommend comanagement with rheumatology and use of either antitumor necrosis factor agents or Janus kinase inhibitors, when applicable.

Background: Virtual follow-up (VFU) has the potential to enhance cancer survivorship care. However, a greater understanding is needed of how VFU can be optimized.
Objective: This study aims to examine how, for whom, and in what contexts VFU works for cancer survivorship care.

Purpose: Continuous EEG (cEEG) monitoring is increasingly used in the management of neonates with seizures. There remains debate on what clinically relevant information can be gained from cEEG in neonates with suspected seizures, at high risk for seizures, or with definite seizures, as well as the use of cEEG for prognosis in a variety of conditions. In this guideline, we address these questions using American Clinical Neurophysiology Society structured methodology for clinical guideline development.

A fundamental topological principle is that the container always shapes the content. In neuroscience, this translates into how the brain anatomy shapes brain dynamics. From neuroanatomy, the topology of the mammalian brain can be approximated by local connectivity, accurately described by an exponential distance rule (EDR).

Background: Early initiation of treatment for lung cancer has been shown to improve patient survival. The present study investigates disparities in time to treatment initiation of invasive lung cancer within and between Black and White patients in Tennessee.
Methods: A population-based registry data of 42,970 individuals (Black = 4,480 and White = 38,490) diagnosed with invasive lung cancer obtained from the Tennessee Cancer Registry, 2005-2015, was analyzed.

Objectives: It is significant to know how much early detection and screening could reduce the proportion of occult metastases and benefit NSCLC patients.
Methods: We used previously designed and validated mathematical models to obtain the characteristics of LC in the population including undetectable metastases at the time of diagnosis. The survival was simulated using the survival functions from Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) data stratified by stage.
