    Abstract Giant condyloma acuminata (GCA), or Buschke-Löwenstein tumor, is a rare exophytic cauliflower-like growth in the anogenital region. The spectrum of treatment options is wide, ranging from the application of topical ointments to the performance of an abdominoperineal resection. Currently, wide local excision is the most common approach and may entail the creation of a protective loop ileostomy or implementation of flaps or grafts that facilitate closure. We describe a unique surgical approach for the management of circumferential GCA void of the use a protective loop ileostomy, flaps, or grafts. Our report highlights that the implementation of a radical, circumferential, wide excision resulting in "free-floating anus" and healing via secondary intention can ultimately lead to excellent functional and cosmetic results and therefore may be considered a minimally invasive surgical option for patients afflicted with a large, circumferential GCA.

    Abstract Background: Frailty has been associated with adverse outcomes in patients with IBD.
    Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the association between health deficit-defined frailty (using the 5-factor modified frailty index) and postoperative outcomes in patients with IBD.
    Design: Prospective cohort study.
    Setting: American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program, Inflammatory Bowel Diseases Module.
    Patients: The included patients had IBD and underwent major abdominal surgery between 2016 and 2019. Patients were classified as frail (modified frailty index ≥2), prefrail (modified frailty index = 1), or normal (modified frailty index = 0) based on a validated, 5-factor modified frailty index.
    Main outcome measures: The association was evaluated between frailty and risk of 30-day severe postoperative complications, prolonged hospital stay, and risk of readmission using multivariable logistic regression.
    Results: Of 3172 patients with IBD who underwent major abdominal surgery (42.7 ± 16.4 y, 49.3% female, 57.7% with Crohn's disease, 43.9% on biologics), 116 (3.7%) were classified as frail and 477 as prefrail (15%). After adjustment for age, sex, race/ethnicity, smoking, BMI, type of surgery, corticosteroid use, and biologic and immunomodulator use, frailty was not associated with increased risk for severe postoperative complications (adjusted OR, 1.24; 95% CI, 0.81-1.90), mortality (adjusted OR, 1.38 [0.44-3.6]), or 30-day readmission (adjusted OR, 1.35 [0.77-2.30]). Nonelective surgery, significant weight loss, corticosteroid use, and need for ileostomy were associated with increased risk of severe postoperative complications.
    Limitations: Limited information regarding IBD-specific characteristics.
    Conclusions: In patients with IBD undergoing major abdominal surgery, frailty measured by a conventional abbreviated health deficits index is not predictive of adverse postoperative outcomes. Biologic and functional measures of frailty may better risk-stratify surgical candidacy in patients with IBDs. See Video Abstract at http://links.lww.com/DCR/C108 .
    El ndice de fragilidad convencional no predice el riesgo de complicaciones posoperatorias en pacientes con enfermedades inflamatorias del intestino un estudio de cohorte multicntrico: ANTECEDENTES:La fragilidad se ha asociado con resultados adversos en pacientes con enfermedades inflamatorias del intestino.OBJETIVO:Examinamos la asociación entre la fragilidad definida por déficit de salud (utilizando el índice de fragilidad modificado de 5 factores) y los resultados postoperatorios en pacientes con enfermedades inflamatorias del intestino.DISEÑO:Estudio de cohorte prospective.ESCENARIO:Programa Nacional de Mejoramiento de la Calidad Quirúrgica del Colegio Estadounidense de Cirujanos, Módulo de Enfermedades Inflamatorias del Intestino.PACIENTES:Pacientes con enfermedades inflamatorias intestinales inscritos en la cohorte que se sometieron a cirugía abdominal mayor entre 2016-19.EXPOSICIÓN:Los pacientes se clasificaron como frágiles (índice de fragilidad modificado ≥2), prefrágiles (índice de fragilidad modificado = 1) o normales (índice de fragilidad modificado = 0) según un índice de fragilidad modificado de 5 factores validado.PRINCIPALES MEDIDAS DE RESULTADO:Examinamos la asociación entre la fragilidad y el riesgo de complicaciones postoperatorias graves a los 30 días, la estancia hospitalaria prolongada y el riesgo de reingreso, mediante regresión logística multivariable.RESULTADOS:De 3172 pacientes con enfermedades inflamatorias intestinales que se sometieron a cirugía abdominal mayor (42,7 ± 16,4 años, 49,3% mujeres, 57,7% con enfermedad de Crohn, 43,9% con biológicos), 116 (3,7%) fueron clasificados como frágiles y 477 como pre- frágil (15%). Después de ajustar por edad, sexo, raza/origen étnico, tabaquismo, índice de masa corporal, tipo de cirugía, uso de corticosteroides, uso de biológicos e inmunomoduladores, la fragilidad no se asoció con un mayor riesgo de complicaciones postoperatorias graves (odds ratio ajustado, 1,24; 95 % de confianza intervalos, 0,81-1,90), mortalidad (odds ratio ajustado, 1,38 [0,44-3,6]) o reingreso a los 30 días (odds ratio ajustado, 1,35 [0,77-2,30]). La cirugía no electiva, la pérdida de peso significativa, el uso de corticosteroides y la necesidad de ileostomía se asociaron con un mayor riesgo de complicaciones posoperatorias graves.LIMITACIONES:Información limitada sobre las características específicas de la enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal.CONCLUSIONES:En pacientes con enfermedades inflamatorias del intestino sometidos a cirugía abdominal mayor, la fragilidad medida por un índice de déficit de salud abreviado convencional no es predictivo de resultados postoperatorios adversos. Las medidas biológicas y funcionales de fragilidad pueden estratificar mejor la candidatura quirúrgica en pacientes con enfermedades inflamatorias del intestino.

    Abstract Introduction: There is little consensus of quality measurements for restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis(RPC-IPAA) performed for ulcerative colitis(UC). The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program(NSQIP) cannot accurately classify RPC-IPAA staged approaches. We formed an IBD-surgery registry that added IBD-specific variables to NSQIP to study these staged approaches in greater detail.
    Methods: We queried our validated database of IBD surgeries across 11 sites in the US from March 2017 to March 2019, containing general NSQIP and IBD-specific perioperative variables. We classified cases into delayed versus immediate pouch construction and looked for independent predictors of pouch delay and postoperative Clavien-Dindo complication severity.
    Results: 430 patients received index surgery or completed pouches. Among completed pouches, 46(28%) and 118(72%) were immediate and delayed pouches, respectively. Significant predictors for delayed pouch surgery included higher UC surgery volume(p = 0.01) and absence of colonic dysplasia(p = 0.04). Delayed pouch formation did not significantly predict complication severity.
    Conclusions: Our data allows improved classification of complex operations. Curating disease-specific variables allows for better analysis of predictors of delayed versus immediate pouch construction and postoperative complication severity.
    Short summary: We applied our previously validated novel NSIP-IBD database for classifying complex, multi-stage surgical approaches for UC to a degree that was not possible prior to our collaborative effort. From this, we describe predictive factors for delayed pouch formation in UC RPC-IPAA with the largest multicenter effort to date.

    Abstract Undergraduate students participating in the UCLA Undergraduate Research Consortium for Functional Genomics (URCFG) have conducted a two-phased screen using RNA interference (RNAi) in combination with fluorescent reporter proteins to identify genes important for hematopoiesis in Drosophila. This screen disrupted the function of approximately 3500 genes and identified 137 candidate genes for which loss of function leads to observable changes in the hematopoietic development. Targeting RNAi to maturing, progenitor, and regulatory cell types identified key subsets that either limit or promote blood cell maturation. Bioinformatic analysis reveals gene enrichment in several previously uncharacterized areas, including RNA processing and export and vesicular trafficking. Lastly, the participation of students in this course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) correlated with increased learning gains across several areas, as well as increased STEM retention, indicating that authentic, student-driven research in the form of a CURE represents an impactful and enriching pedagogical approach.
