Objectives: The impact of recurrent acute pancreatitis (RAP) on quality of life (QOL) is unknown. We hypothesized that RAP would reduce QOL even in the absence of chronic pancreatitis (CP).
Methods: Data were pooled from three prospective, cross-sectional studies conducted across 27 U.

Background: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) markedly increases tissue oxygen delivery. Case series suggest it may have a potential therapeutic benefit in ulcerative colitis (UC). We investigated the therapeutic potential of HBOT as an adjunct to steroids for UC flares requiring hospitalization.

Duquesne University, Pittsburgh, PA, USA.
Background: Different equations for predicting body surface area have been derived. The DuBois and Mosteller body surface area equations are considered equivalent, but the accuracy in adult patients at extremes of height and weight is unknown.
Purpose: To compare body surface area in patients at extremes of height and weight using both formulas to determine whether a difference affected chemotherapy dose.
Multicenter study of epidemiological cutoff values and detection of resistance in Candida spp. to anidulafungin, caspofungin, and micafungin using the Sensititre YeastOne colorimetric method.

University of Adelaide, Adelaide, Australia.
Neither breakpoints (BPs) nor epidemiological cutoff values (ECVs) have been established for Candida spp. with anidulafungin, caspofungin, and micafungin when using the Sensititre YeastOne (SYO) broth dilution colorimetric method. In addition, reference caspofungin MICs have so far proven to be unreliable.

Purpose: This investigation evaluated the incidence, severity, and harm of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) associated with antipsychotic use for intensive care unit (ICU) delirium.
Methods: In this prospective, observational study patients were screened for development of delirium with the Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist (ICDSC). An ICDSC score of ≥4 was considered delirious.
Post occlusive left atrial appendage thrombosis with extension into the left atrium.

University of Pittsburgh Medical Center: Heart and Vascular Institute, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.
A 67-year-old man underwent left atrial appendage (LAA) exclusion concomitant with mitral valve surgery and radiofrequency ablation maze procedure. On transoesophageal echocardiography anticipating ablation for left atrial tachycardia, an echodense thrombus was visualised in the LAA location with apparent intracavitary extension into the left atrium. Based on CT imaging findings, the echo represented thrombosis of a large left atrial appendage with probable extension into the left atrium.

Method: Two sets of pairwise comparisons: (a) COMP versus CA and (b) CA versus MCA were conducted. We hypothesized that CA would experience greater distress in parenting and psychopathology compared with COMP and that MCA would experience even more impairment compared with CA.
