INTRODUCTION: Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC) provide preventive health services such as colorectal cancer (CRC) screening to low-income and underinsured individuals. Overall CRC participation in the United States declined during COVID-19 pandemic recovered by 2021; however, trends underresourced settings are unknown. METHODS: Using Uniform Data System data from 2014 2022, we assessed FQHC rates nationally, California, Los Angeles County determined clinic-level factors associated...
Background: The impact of renal function on hepatic encephalopathy (HE) following transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) placement for refractory ascites is poorly understood. We investigated the role HE TIPS placement. Methods: A retrospective study was performed patients undergoing from 2007–2019. Patients were stratified by GFR at time and whether they hemodialysis (HD). Chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 3 or higher defined as pre-TIPS < 60 least months. Logistic...
Medicaid expansion is a 2014 provision in the Affordable Care Act that allows each state United States to expand eligibility individuals with income above limits and below federal poverty level. Not all states participate, leaving many low-income non-expansion without health insurance. have experienced increases preventive care use,1 decreases racial disparities,2 advanced-stage colorectal cancer (CRC),3 suggesting has improved outcomes on large scale.
The outcomes of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) placement in patients with hepatic encephalopathy (HE) are controversial. We studied the relationship pre-TIPS HE undergoing TIPS for refractory ascites on all-cause mortality and development post-TIPS HE. A single-center retrospective comparison study was performed ascites. Survival by history demonstrated Kaplan-Meier curves. Univariate multivariate logistic regression analyses were to identify predictors clinical without...
ABSTRACT The pathogenesis of Crohn’s disease involves genetic and environmental factors, with the gut microbiome playing a crucial role. disease-associated variant rs13107325 in SLC39A8 gene results an A391T substitution ZIP8 metal ion transporter has previously been linked to alterations colonic carriers. We hypothesized that alters homeostasis mucosal-luminal interface, thereby inducing dysbiosis which may promote intestinal inflammation. To evaluate this hypothesis, we generated A393T...
Background: Superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome is caused by the occlusion of SVC and can result in significant morbidity mortality. Recently, endovascular therapy (ET) has become standard care for majority these patients. We performed a systematic review available literature to assess contemporary technical success rate, restenosis recurrence rate following intervention. Methods: searched PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase databases from 1988 2019 studies on Endovascular Therapy syndrome. After...

Introduction: Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) provide preventive health services such as colorectal cancer (CRC) screening to low-income and underinsured individuals. California has a racially, ethnically, socioeconomically diverse population includes more FQHCs than any other state. Our aim was assess CRC rates factors impacting the rate change (SRC) from 2019 2020 at during COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Cross-sectional analyses were performed using Uniform Data System (UDS) for...
Introduction: Over 30 million low-income and underinsured individuals in the U.S. receive primary care services, including colorectal cancer (CRC) screening, at Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs). Given known differences healthcare access rural settings, we aimed to quantify CRC screening rates factors associated with a decline between 2019 2020 FQHCs based on urban-rural status. Methods: We abstracted data from Uniform Data System (UDS)—which compiles preventive health utilization...
