Data on the impact of biologics and immunomodulators coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-related outcomes remain scarce.We sought to determine whether patients taking tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFis) or methotrexate are at increased risk COVID-19-related outcomes.In this large comparative cohort study, real-time searches analyses were performed adult who diagnosed with COVID-19 treated TNFis compared those not treated. The likelihood hospitalization mortality between groups without...
Climate change is an imminent and undeniable crisis faced by the planet. Greenhouse gases (GHG's) are major contributors to climate change. Global response this impending threat led Paris Agreement in 2015, accord signed most nations promising commitment reduce emissions. Irrespective of Unites States' current position on issue, it would be irresponsible not evaluate environmental impact our respective disciplines take steps where possible ensure that minimized. Williams et al. (1) broadly...
Aims Carbon footprint analysis using life cycle assessment (LCA) has become more frequent in GI endoscopy. Various methods are available. To compare carbon emissions obtained through open access databases with an approach professional software.

Abstract Background and Aim Sars‐CoV‐19 pandemic necessitated a transition to telemedicine for many healthcare encounters. The environmental impact of this in gastroenterology (GI) combined with user experience has not been studied. Methods We conducted retrospective cohort study patients who underwent visits (telephone video) at GI clinic West Virginia University. Distance patients' residence from × 2 was calculated, Environmental Protection Agency calculators utilized calculate greenhouse...
Na-K-ATPase, an integral membrane protein in mammalian cells, is responsible for maintaining the favorable intracellular Na gradient necessary to promote Na-coupled solute cotransport processes [e.g., Na-glucose (SGLT1)]. Inhibition of brush border (BBM) SGLT1 is, at least part, due diminished Na-K-ATPase villus cells from chronically inflamed rabbit intestine. The aim present study was determine effect inhibition on two major BBM absorptive pathways, specifically and Na/H exchange (NHE),...
Background: Social media use is prevalent in our society and has become widely used the health care community. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients constitute one of patient populations that benefit from social to obtain information on their diseases. West Virginia (WV) a rural Appalachian state with barriers internet access we examined role plays patients' lives this state, which could be reflective other states. Methods: Our population consisted patients, 18-65 years old, who live WV...
Sunitinib is a chemotherapeutic agent that has been approved for renal cell carcinoma and gastrointestinal stromal tumors resistant to imatinib. It usually well tolerated severe side effects are rare. There very few reports of sunitinib causing esophagitis, only one them was previously reported as exfoliative esophagitis. We describe case sunitinib-induced esophagitis resulted in overt bleed.
Aims Environmental harms of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening have not been considered although their impact to planet and human health can be substantial. The aim was compare carbon footprint generated by travel waste three CRC strategies.

Aims GI endoscopy is highly resource-intensive with a significant environmental impact and extensive utilization of non-reusable plastic instruments. Colonoscopy the most commonly performed gastrointestinal procedure. The type material has direct effect on carbon emission. We aimed to scrutinize materials employed in colonoscopy procedures, assessing their life cycle (LCA) by determining footprint.
