    Abstract Background: Despite the importance of recognizing interstitial lung abnormalities, screening methods using computer-based quantitative analysis are not well developed, and studies on the subject with an Asian population are rare. We aimed to identify the prevalence and progression rate of interstitial lung abnormality evaluated by an automated quantification system in the Korean population.
    Methods: A total of 2,890 healthy participants in a health screening program (mean age: 49 years, men: 79.5%) with serial chest computed tomography images obtained at least 5 years apart were included. Quantitative lung fibrosis scores were measured on the chest images by an automated quantification system. Interstitial lung abnormalities were defined as a score ≥ 3, and progression as any score increased above baseline.
    Results: Interstitial lung abnormalities were identified in 251 participants (8.6%), who were older and had a higher body mass index. The prevalence increased with age. Quantification of the follow-up images (median interval: 6.5 years) showed that 23.5% (59/251) of participants initially diagnosed with interstitial lung abnormality exhibited progression, and 11% had developed abnormalities (290/2639). Older age, higher body mass index, and higher erythrocyte sedimentation rate were independent risk factors for progression or development. The interstitial lung abnormality group had worse survival on follow-up (5-year mortality: 3.4% vs. 1.5%; P = 0.010).
    Conclusions: Interstitial lung abnormality could be identified in one-tenth of the participants, and a quarter of them showed progression. Older age, higher body mass index and higher erythrocyte sedimentation rate increased the risk of development or progression of interstitial lung abnormality.

    Abstract Obesity is a worldwide epidemic and is the second leading cause of preventable death. The approach to treating obesity involves a multidisciplinary approach including lifestyle interventions, pharmacological therapies, and bariatric surgery. Endoscopic interventions are emerging as important tools in the treatment of obesity with primary and revisional bariatric endoscopic therapies. These include intragastric balloons, aspiration therapy, suturing and plication, duodenal-jejunal bypass liners, endoscopic duodenal mucosal resurfacing, and incisionless magnetic anastomosis systems. Endoscopic interventions have also demonstrated efficacy in treating complications of bariatric surgery. Approaches include stenting, endoscopic internal drainage, and endoscopic vacuum-assisted closure. This review aimed to discuss the current endoscopic procedures used as primary and revisional bariatric therapy including those used for managing bariatric surgical complications.

    Abstract Introduction: There is a critical need for comprehensive surgical training in African countries given the unmet surgical burden of disease in this region. Collaborative and progressive initiatives in global surgical education will have the greatest impact on trainees. Little is known about surgical education needs from the perspective of practicing surgeons and trainees in low-middle-income countries (LMICs). Even less is known about the potential role for simulation to augment training.
    Methods: A modified Delphi methodology with 2 rounds of responses was employed to survey program directors (PD) and associate program directors (APD) of Pan-African Association of Christian Surgeons (PAACS) general surgery residency programs across eight low-middle-income countries in Africa. 3 PD/APDs and 2 surgical residents participated in semi-structured interviews centered around the role of simulation in training. Descriptive analysis was performed to elicit key themes and illustrative examples.
    Results: The survey of program directors revealed that teaching residents the psychomotor skills need to perform intracorporeal suturing was both high priority and desired in multiple training sites. Other high priority skills were laparoscopic camera driving and medial visceral rotation. The interviews revealed a specific desire to perform laparoscopic surgery and a need for a simulation curriculum to familiarize staff and trainees with laparoscopic techniques. Several barriers to laparoscopic surgery exist, such as lack of staff familiarity with the equipment, lack of public buy in, and lack of generalizable and adaptable educational modules. Trainees saw utility in the use of simulation to optimize time in the operating room and sought opportunities to improve their laparoscopic skills.
    Conclusion: Faculty and surgical trainees in LMICs have interest in learning advanced surgical techniques, such as laparoscopy. Developing a simulation curriculum tailored to the trainees' local context has the potential to fill this need.

    Abstract Background: Post-stroke depression (PSD) is a frequent psychiatric complication, however very few studies have investigated its relation to the affected upper extremity (UE) post-stroke.
    Methods: This study analyzed data from a previous cohort; participants were assessed at rehabilitation admission (T1), 6 weeks (T2), and 6 months (T3) post-stroke. At each time point we compared between participants with and without PSD (Geriatric Depression Scale score ≥ 5). The Fugl-Meyer Motor Assessment assessed motor impairment, Action Research Arm Test assessed functional ability, and the Rating of Everyday Arm-Use in the Community and Home assessed daily-use. Independence in daily activities and cognition were also assessed.
    Results: A total of 116 participants were recruited, 38% had PSD at T1. No significant differences were found between groups at T1 and T2. However, significant differences (
    Conclusions: PSD is associated with greater UE motor, functional, and daily-use disability at 6 months post-stroke. Our findings underscore the negative impact of PSD on UE during the crucial transition period when individuals return home and integrate back into the community. Further research is needed to delineate the effect of change in PSD status on UE outcomes post stroke.

    Abstract Background: Necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic, virtual care is now a fixture in health care delivery. Literature describes the pivot to virtual clinical education; however, less is known about the learner experience. Understanding perspectives of medical students and residents provides insight to optimize the educational experience in virtual care.
    Methods: Third-year medical students and general surgery residents at an academic teaching institution rated their experience of virtual clinic compared to in-person clinic through an anonymous 20-question survey. Questions were on a 5-point Likert scale with narrative opportunities and queried 4 learner objectives: patient care, systems-based practice, education, and faculty engagement. Medical student and resident responses were compared using a t-test.
    Results: Lowest rated items included the ability to perform an accurate physical exam, engage with faculty, promote efficiency, and learn clinical skills. Residents gave lower ratings than medical students on all questions. There were significant differences between medical students and residents (
    Discussion: Learners perceive the ability to perform a physical exam, promote efficiency, and engage with faculty to be compromised in the virtual clinic setting. Residents had less favorable perceptions of virtual clinic compared to medical students. Faculty should consider these varying learner perceptions to optimize the educational environment in virtual care.

    Abstract Influenza virus poses a recurring threat to public health and infects many populations in annual waves of generally unpredictable magnitude and timing. We aimed to detect the arrival and estimate the case magnitude of seasonal influenza A in urban New York City college dormitory buildings. Our wastewater-based surveillance (WBS) program measured viral RNA in the sewage outflow of three dormitories at Barnard College in 2021 and 2022. Wastewater test positivity strongly correlated with New York County clinical cases (Kendall's τ = 0.58). Positive wastewater samples are also associated with campus clinical cases. The 2022 data stand in stark contrast to the 2021 results by revealing the more frequent and earlier presence of influenza A. The increase in positive tests is significant (

    Abstract Background: Patients with inflammatory bowel disease may require colectomy for severe disease unresponsive or refractory to pharmacological therapy. The question of the impact of biologic use on postoperative complications is a topic of active investigation.
    Objective: A systematic literature review was performed to describe the current state of knowledge of the impact of perioperative biologic and tofacitinib use on postoperative complications in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
    Data sources: PubMed and Cochrane databases were searched.
    Study selection: Studies between January 2000 and January 2023, in any language, were searched, followed by a snowball search identifying further studies, in accordance with preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses guidelines. Articles regarding pediatric or endoscopic management were excluded.
    Interventions: Preoperative or perioperative exposure to biologics in inflammatory bowel disease was included.
    Main outcome measures: Infectious and noninfectious complications, including anastomotic leaks, surgical site infections, urinary tract infections, pneumonia, sepsis, septic shock, postoperative length of stay, readmission, and reoperation, were the main outcomes measured.
    Results: A total of 28 studies were included for analysis in this review, including 7 meta-analyses or systematic reviews, and 5 randomized studies. Snowball search identified 11 additional studies providing topical information. Overall, tumor necrosis factor inhibitors likely do not increase risk of postoperative adverse outcomes, while data on other biologics and small molecule agents are emerging.
    Limitations: This is a qualitative review including all study types. The varied nature of study types precludes quantitative comparison.
    Conclusions: Although steroids increase postoperative infectious and noninfectious complications, tumor necrosis factor inhibitors do not appear to increase postoperative infectious and non-infectious complications. There is a need for further perioperative data for other agents. See Video.

    Abstract Background: Our aim was to gain a deeper understanding of perceived predictors for actual arm use during daily functional activities.
    Methods: Qualitative study. Semi-structured interview data collected from individuals with chronic stroke living in the community. Codebook thematic analysis used for the data analysis.
    Results: Six participants 5-18 years post stroke with moderate to severe UE impairment. Three domains were identified: Person, Context, and Task. Themes for the Person domain included mental (cognitive effort, lack of acceptance), behavioral (routines/habits, self-evaluation), and physical (stiffness/fatigue). Themes for the Context domain included social environment (being in public, presence, and actions of others) and time constraints (being in a hurry). Themes for the task domain included necessity to complete bilateral and unilateral tasks, and safety (increased risk of accidents).
    Conclusion: Actual arm use is a complex construct related to the characteristics of the person, contextual environment, and the nature of the task. Facilitators included cognitive effort, routines/habits, self-evaluation, and the perceived necessity. Barriers included in lack of acceptance, stiffness/fatigue, being in public, being in a hurry, and risk of ac-cidents. Social support was both a facilitator and a barrier. Our results support the growing call to adopt a broader biopsychosocial framework into rehabilitation delivery.
