Recent reports suggest that prevalence of gastrointestinal (GI) and hepatic manifestations in COVID-19 are higher than initially reported, particularly Western populations. New York City has arguably been the epicenter pandemic United States, creating a unique opportunity to further understanding this disease. Our objectives were investigate GI patients with COVID-19, explore their effect on clinical outcomes these patients. This is retrospective review consecutive adult (age ≥18) positive...
Acute lower gastrointestinal bleeding (LGIB) is a common reason for hospitalization in the United States and associated with significant utilization of hospital resources, as well considerable morbidity mortality. These revised guidelines implement Grading Recommendations, Assessment, Development, Evaluation methodology to propose recommendations use risk stratification tools, thresholds red blood cell transfusion, reversal agents patients on anticoagulants, diagnostic testing including...
Although current literature has addressed gastrointestinal presentations including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abnormal liver chemistries, and hyperlipasemia as possible coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) manifestations, the risk type of bleeding (GIB) in this population is not well characterized.This a matched case-control (1:2) study with 41 cases GIB (31 upper 10 lower) patients COVID-19 82 controls without GIB. The primary objective was to characterize etiologies, our secondary aim...
We present FactPEGASUS, an abstractive summarization model that addresses the problem of factuality during pre-training and fine-tuning: (1) augment sentence selection strategy PEGASUS's (Zhang et al., 2019) objective to create pseudo-summaries are both important factual; (2) introduce three complementary components for fine-tuning. The corrector removes hallucinations in reference summary, contrastor uses contrastive learning better differentiate nonfactual summaries from factual ones,...
Despite significant progress in understanding and improving faithfulness abstractive summarization, the question of how decoding strategies affect is less studied. We present a systematic study effect generation techniques such as beam search nucleus sampling on summarization. find consistent trend where with large sizes produces most faithful summaries while generates least ones. propose two faithfulness-aware methods to further improve over current techniques: (1) ranking candidates...
CASE REPORT A 65-year-old man with no significant past medical history was admitted to an outside hospital 1.5 months of crampy, lower abdominal pain associated rectal urgency and tenesmus. Initial computed tomography showed thickening his rectosigmoid mid distal descending colon; follow-up colonoscopy revealed inflammation the affected areas focal lamina propria vascular congestion sloughing epithelium in colon. course antibiotics followed by a oral steroids did not improve symptoms. He...
The problems of unfaithful summaries have been widely discussed under the context abstractive summarization. Though extractive summarization is less prone to common unfaithfulness issues summaries, does that mean equal faithful? Turns out answer no. In this work, we define a typology with five types broad (including and beyond not-entailment) can appear in including incorrect coreference, incomplete discourse, as well other misleading information. We ask humans label these 1600 English...
The real-world efficacy of computer-aided detection (CADe) systems, such as GI Genius (Medtronic), is unclear. We examined the colonoscopy metrics using CADe alone and with a mucosal exposure device (EndoCuff; Olympus) in setting. retrospectively reviewed screening surveillance colonoscopies before, during, after use large tertiary care center. Outcomes included adenomas per (APC), sessile serrated lesions colonoscopy, adenoma rate (ADR), lesion (SSLDR), advanced ADR, total polyp rate, true...
OBJECTIVES Although sexual dysfunction has been reported in patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, little is known about this association. The aims of study were to determine the prevalence among men chronic HCV infection and evaluate impact on health-related quality life (HRQOL). METHODS We prospectively enrolled 112 positive 239 negative controls, all completed validated questionnaires assess function (Brief Male Sexual Function Inventory [BMSFI]), depression (Beck Depression...
Routine screening for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is recommended in chronic hepatitis B (HBV) patients with cirrhosis and select non-cirrhotic HBV populations including Asian males ages 40 older females 50 older. However, many younger develop HCC there have been few studies examining this group. Additionally, of the immigrant population United States limited. The objective study was to determine associated risk factors development early-onset (males under 50, respectively) late-onset...
Premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is a common and devastating complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). It likely that immunologic derangements contribute to premature ASCVD in these patients, possibly by disrupting homeostatic mechanisms orchestrate cholesterol balance monocytes/macrophages the artery wall. CD36, macrophage scavenger receptor responsible for recognition internalization oxidized lipids, major participant foam cell formation. We hypothesized...
ABSTRACT Rituximab (RTX), a widely used monoclonal antibody for hematologic malignancies and rheumatologic disorders, is known infusion-related reactions. However, its potential to induce colitis often overlooked. We present an 85-year-old woman with chronic lymphocytic leukemia experiencing severe adverse effects during her fourth RTX infusion, including abdominal pain, hypotension, bright red blood per rectum. Computed tomography of the abdomen pelvis contrast revealed pancolonic mural...
Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a progressive, chronic that has rarely been reported in HIV-infected individuals. Among patients who are candidates for C virus (HCV) treatment, screening AIH should be considered, because interferon the potential to cause fulminant hepatic failure setting of immune-mediated injury. During 4-year period, we identified four were referred evaluation persistently elevated aminotransferases, two whom also infected with HCV. Serologic testing and histologic...
The quantum annealing devices, which encode the solution to a computational problem in ground state of Hamiltonian, are implemented D-Wave systems with more than 2,000 qubits. However, can solve only classical combinatorial optimization such as an Ising model, or equivalently, quadratic unconstrained binary (QUBO) problem. In this paper, we formulate QUBO model elliptic problems Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions using finite element method. formulation, develop objective function...

Although drug-induced liver injury is common, physician awareness of specific drug reactions often limited. Celecoxib-induced has not been widely reported. We describe the case a 28 year-old woman who presented to emergency department with cholestatic following 13 days celecoxib use. searched literature and reviewed existing reports celecoxib-induced highlight similarities offer discussion associated pathology.
