Article Synopsis
- A study compared cardiovascular disease risk factors and outcomes among young Black patients hospitalized in 2007 and 2017, using data from the National Inpatient Sample database.
- The analysis revealed that the 2017 cohort had a younger average age, more male patients, and an increased prevalence of traditional cardiometabolic conditions, despite reductions in substance abuse.
- In-hospital outcomes for 2017 showed a higher incidence of major adverse cardiac events compared to 2007, including acute myocardial infarction and cardiac arrest, but a decrease in mortality and rates of certain cardiovascular interventions.

Robotic colorectal surgery has been performed for nearly a decade, but has been criticized for high cost. We sought to assess outcomes of colorectal operations performed by surgeons with higher experience in robotics and laparoscopy across a large health system. We performed a retrospective review of colon or rectal resections performed between January 2013 and May 2016 within the Providence Health and Services.

Increased catecholamine (CA) levels after severe burn are associated with stress, inflammation, hypermetabolism, and impaired immune function. The CA secretion profiles in burned patients are not well described. Mechanisms, duration, and extent of CA surge are unknown.

Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) cDNA gene transfer individually improves dermal and epidermal regeneration. The aim of the present study was to determine whether the combination of IGF-I plus KGF cDNA further improves wound healing and by which mechanisms these changes occur. Rats received an acute wound and were divided into four groups to receive weekly subcutaneous injections of liposomes plus Lac Z cDNA, liposomes plus IGF-I cDNA, liposomes plus KGF cDNA, or liposomes plus IGF-I/KGF cDNA.
