GI infections (e.g. Clostridium difficile [CDI]) can worsen inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) activity and outcomes. By conventional methods, only 10% of symptomatic IBD patients have detectable infections. Using the BioFire FilmArray PCR panel, a stool test capable detecting 22 enteropathogenic organisms, we investigated prevalence in flares vs. inactive healthy controls with aim to determine impact detected infectious agents patients. We collected 5 patient cohorts: Active Crohn’s (CD, n =...
GI infections (e.g. C. difficile and CMV) have been shown to worsen inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) activity result in increased surgeries hospitalizations. By conventional methods, only 10% of symptomatic IBD patients detectable concurrent infections. Using the BioFire FilmArray PCR panel, a stool test capable detecting 22 enteropathogenic organisms, we investigated prevalence flares vs. inactive IBD, IBS, healthy controls aimed determine impact detected infectious agents.

Background: Between 2016 and 2021, the average length of stay for congestive heart failure (CHF) patients at our Veterans Affairs (VA) Hospital has ranged from 0.8 to 1.9 days longer than comparable VA hospitals. This extended (LOS) results in increased healthcare costs is an institutional focus increase quality care. Current cardiology guidelines admitted with acute CHF exacerbation recommend aggressive diuresis, defined as high-dose loop diuretics least twice a day. We sought analyze...
