Article: Meta-Analysis of Randomized Trials Comparing Antibiotic Therapy with Appendectomy for Acute Uncomplicated (No Abscess or Phlegmon) Appendicitis[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The objective was to conduct a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials evaluating the efficacy and morbidity of the management of acute uncomplicated (no abscess or phlegmon) appendicitis by antibiotics versus appendectomy. Appropriate trials were identified. The seven outcome variables were overall complication rate, treatment failure rate for index hospital admission, overall treatment failure rate, length of stay (LOS), utilization of pain medication, duration of pain, and sick leave. Both fixed and random effects meta-analyses were performed using odds ratios (ORs) and weighted or standardized mean differences (WMDs or SMDs, respectively). Five trials totaling 980 patients (antibiotics=510, appendectomy=470) were analyzed. In three of the seven outcome analyses, the summary point estimates favored antibiotics over appendectomy, with a 46% reduction in the relative odds of complications (OR 0.54; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.37, 0.78; p=0.001); a reduction in sick leave/disability (SMD -0.19; CI -0.33, -0.06; p=0.005), and decreased pain medication utilization (SMD -1.55; CI -1.96, -1.14; p<0.0001). For overall treatment failure, the summary point estimate favored appendectomy, with a 40.2% failure rate for antibiotics versus 8.5% for appendectomy (OR 6.72; CI 0.08, 12.99; p<0.001). Initial treatment failure, LOS, and pain duration were similar in the two groups. Non-operative management of uncomplicated appendicitis with antibiotics was associated with significantly fewer complications, better pain control, and shorter sick leave, but overall had inferior efficacy because of the high rate of recurrence in comparison with appendectomy.
Article: Laparoscopic Versus Open Anterior Abdominal Wall Hernia Repair 30-Day Morbidity and Mortality using the ACS-NSQIP Database[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To compare short-term outcomes after laparoscopic and open abdominal wall hernia repair. Using the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) database (2005-2009), 71,054 patients who underwent an abdominal wall hernia repair were identified (17% laparoscopic, 83% open). Laparoscopic and open techniques were compared. Regression models and nonparametric 1:1 matching algorithms were used to minimize the influence of treatment selection bias. The association between surgical approach and risk-adjusted adverse event rates after abdominal wall hernia repair was determined. Subgroup analysis was performed between inpatient/outpatient surgery, strangulated/reducible, and initial/recurrent hernias as well as between umbilical, incisional and other ventral hernias. Patients undergoing laparoscopic repair were less likely to experience an overall morbidity (6.0% vs. 3.8%; odds ratio [OR], 0.62; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.56-0.68) or a serious morbidity (2.5% vs. 1.6%; OR, 0.61; 95% CI, 0.52-0.71) compared to open repair. Analysis using multivariate adjustment and patient matching showed similar findings. Mortality rates were the same. Laparoscopically repaired strangulated and recurrent hernias, had a significantly lower overall morbidity (4.7% vs. 8.1%, P < 0.0001 and 4.1% vs. 12.2%, P < 0.0001, respectively). Significantly lower overall morbidity was also noted for the laparoscopic approach when the hernias were categorized into umbilical (1.9% vs. 3.0%, P = 0.009), ventral (3.9% vs. 6.3%, P < 0.0001), and incisional (4.3% vs. 9.1%, P < 0.0001). No differences were noted between laparoscopic and open repairs in patients undergoing outpatient surgery, when the hernias were reducible. Laparoscopic hernia repair is infrequently used and associated with lower 30-day morbidity, particularly when hernias are complicated.
Article: Fibrin glue for intraperitoneal laparoscopic mesh fixation: A comparative study in a swine model[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The classic method of mesh fixation in laparoscopic ventral hernia repair is transfascial sutures with tacks. This method has been associated with low recurrence rates, but yields significant morbidity from pain and bleeding. Fibrin glue has been used successfully in inguinal hernia repair with decreased incidence of chronic pain without an increase in recurrence rates, but its utility for laparoscopic ventral hernia repair is unknown. Our aim is to evaluate the efficacy of fibrin glue for laparoscopic mesh fixation to the anterior abdominal wall compared with other fixation methods. Four different laparoscopic mesh fixation methods were randomly assigned to midline positions along the abdominal wall of 12 female pigs and compared: (1) fibrin glue only (GO), (2) transfascial sutures with tacks (ST), (3) fibrin glue with tacks (GT), and (4) tacks only (TO). At 4 weeks post implantation, tensile strength, adhesions, migration, contraction, and buckling/folding were assessed using Kruskal-Wallis one-way analysis by ranks test. There were no significant differences in tensile strength, adhesions or buckling/folding among the four fixation methods. A significant increase in mean migration (3.3 vs. 0.0 mm, p = 0.03) and percentage contraction (28% vs. 14%, p = 0.02) were identified in the GO group when compared with ST (see Table 3). Mesh fixation using fibrin glue has comparable tensile strength and adhesion rate to sutures with tacks in the swine model. Increased contraction and migration rates associated with fibrin glue alone may be an issue and warrants further study. On the other hand, the GT group showed similar biomechanical characteristics to the other groups and may represent a reasonable alternative to the use of transfascial sutures.

ABSTRACT: A decade ago we reported that laparoscopic repair of paraesophageal hernia (PEH) had an objective recurrence rate of 42% compared with 15% after open repair. Since that report we have modified our laparoscopic technique. The aim of this study was to determine if these modifications have reduced the rate of objective hernia recurrence. We retrospectively identified all patients that had primary repair of a PEH with ≥ 50% of the stomach in the chest from May 1998 to January 2010 with objective follow-up by videoesophagram. The finding of any size of hernia was considered to be recurrence. There were 73 laparoscopic and 73 open PEH repairs that met the study criteria. There were no significant differences in gender, body mass index, or prevalence of a comorbid condition between groups. The median follow-up was similar (12 months laparoscopic versus 16 months open; p = 0.11). In the laparoscopic group, 84% of patients had absorbable mesh reinforcement of the crural closure and 40% had a Collis gastroplasty, compared with 32% and 26%, respectively, in the open group. A recurrent hernia was identified in 27 patients (18%), 9 after laparoscopic repair and 18 after open repair (p = 0.09). The median size of a recurrent hernia was 3 cm, and the incidence of recurrence increased yearly in those with serial follow-up with no early peak or late plateau. In our first decade of laparoscopic PEH repair, no mesh crural reinforcement was used, and no patient had a Collis gastroplasty. Evolution in the technique of laparoscopic PEH repair during the subsequent decade has reduced the hernia recurrence rate to that seen with an open approach. Reduced morbidity and shorter hospital stay make laparoscopy the preferred approach, but continued efforts to reduce hernia recurrence are warranted.
Article: Day-to-day discrepancy in Bravo pH monitoring is related to the degree of deterioration of the lower esophageal sphincter and severity of reflux disease[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The Bravo capsule allows monitoring of esophageal acid exposure over a two-day period. Experience has shown that 24-32% of patients will have abnormal esophageal acid exposure detected on only one of the 2 days monitored. This variation has been explained by the effect of endoscopy and sedation. The aim of this study was to assess the day-to-day discrepancy following transnasal placement of the Bravo capsule without endoscopy or sedation and to determine factors related to this variability. Bravo pH monitoring was performed by transnasal placement of the capsule in 310 patients. Patients were divided into groups based on the composite pH score: both days normal, both days abnormal and only one of the 2 days abnormal. Lower esophageal sphincter (LES) characteristics were compared between groups. Of the 310 patients evaluated, 60 (19%) showed a discrepancy between the 2 days. A total of 127 patients had a normal pH score on both days and 123 had an abnormal pH score on both days. Of the 60 patients with a discrepancy, 27 were abnormal the first day and 33 (55%) were abnormal the second day. Patients with abnormal esophageal acid exposure on both days had higher degrees of esophageal acid exposure and were more likely to have a defective LES compared to those with an abnormal score on only one day (35 vs. 83%, p=0.027). Patients with a discrepancy between days of Bravo pH monitoring have lower esophageal acid exposure. Variability between the 2 days represents early deterioration of the gastroesophageal barrier and indicates less advanced reflux disease.
Article: 792 Loss of Alkalization in Proximal Esophagus: A New Diagnostic Paradigm for Patients With Laryngopharyngeal Reflux[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Cervical esophageal pH monitoring using a pH threshold of <4 in the diagnosis of laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) is disappointing. We hypothesized that failure to maintain adequate alkalization instead of acidification of the cervical esophagus may be a better indicator of cervical esophageal exposure to gastric juice. The aim of this study was to define normal values for the percent time the cervical esophagus is exposed to a pH ≥7 and to use the inability to maintain this as an indicator for diagnosis of LPR. Fifty-nine asymptomatic volunteers had a complete foregut evaluation including pH monitoring of the cervical esophagus. Cervical esophageal exposure to a pH <4 was calculated, and the records were reanalyzed using the threshold pH ≥7. The sensitivity of these two pH thresholds was compared in a group of 51 patients with LPR symptoms that were completely relieved after an antireflux operation. Compared to normal subjects, patients with LPR were less able to maintain an alkaline pH in the cervical esophagus, as expressed by a lower median percent time pH ≥ 7 (10.4 vs. 38.2, p < 0.0001). In normal subjects, the fifth percentile value for percent time pH ≥ 7 in the cervical esophagus was 19.6%. In 84% of the LPR patients (43/51), the percent time pH ≥ 7 were below the threshold of 19.6%. In contrast, 69% (35/51) had an abnormal test when the pH records were analyzed using the percent time pH < 4. Of the 16 patients with a false negative test using pH < 4, 11 (69%) were identified as having an abnormal study when the threshold of pH ≥ 7 was used. Normal subjects should have a pH ≥7 in cervical esophagus for at least 19.6% of the monitored period. Failure to maintain this alkaline environment is a more sensitive indicator in the diagnosis of the LPR and identifies two thirds of the patients with a false negative test using pH <4.
Article: Laparoscopic versus open appendectomy for the obese patient: A subset analysis from a prospective, randomized, double-blind study[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The clinical outcomes for patients randomized to either open or laparoscopic appendectomy are comparable. However, it is not known whether this is true in the subset of the adult population with higher body mass indexes (BMIs). This study aimed to compare the outcomes of open versus laparoscopic appendectomy in the obese population. A subgroup analysis of a randomized, prospective, double-blind study was conducted at a county academic medical center. Of the 217 randomized patients, 37 had a BMI of 30 kg/m(2) or higher. Open surgery was performed for 14 and laparoscopic surgery for 23 of these patients. The primary outcome measures were the postoperative complication rates. The secondary outcomes were operative time, length of hospital stay, time to resumption of diet, narcotic requirements, and Medical Outcomes Survey Short Form 36 (SF-36) quality-of-life data. No differences in complications between the open and laparoscopic groups were found. Also, no significant differences were seen in any of the secondary outcomes except for a longer operative time among the obese patients. In this study, laparoscopic appendectomy did not show a benefit over the open approach for obese patients with appendicitis.

ABSTRACT: Factors associated with the risk of progression of Barrett's esophagus remain unclear, and the impact of therapy on this risk remains uncertain. The aim of this study was to assess patients followed long-term after anti-reflux surgery for Barrett's esophagus. A retrospective review was performed of all patients with Barrett's who underwent anti-reflux surgery from 1989 to 2009 and had ≥5 years of follow-up. There were 303 patients and 75 had follow-up ≥5 years. Median follow-up time for the 75 patients was 8.9 years (range 5-18). Regression was seen in 31%. Progression occurred in 8%, and these patients were significantly more likely to have a failed fundoplication (67% vs. 16%, p = 0.0129). The rate of progression from non-dysplastic Barrett's to high-grade dysplasia or cancer was 0.8% per patient year, and was seven times higher in patients with a failed fundoplication. Compared to the accepted rate of progression of non-dysplastic Barrett's to high-grade dysplasia or cancer of 1.0% per patient year, anti-reflux surgery reduces this rate during long-term follow-up. The rate of progression was significantly lower in patients with an intact compared to a disrupted fundoplication, further suggesting that anti-reflux surgery can alter the natural history of Barrett's esophagus.

Article: Establishing an Acute Care Surgery Service: Lessons Learned From the Epidemiology of Emergent Non-Trauma Patients and Increasing Utilization of Laparoscopy[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Acute care surgery is a fellowship training model created to address the growing crisis in emergency healthcare due to decreased availability of on-call surgeons and reduction in operative procedures for trauma. Our objective was to identify the demographics and spectrum of diseases in patients presenting with non-trauma surgical emergencies and the use of laparoscopy in emergent surgery in light of implementing an acute care surgery model. All non-trauma emergency surgical consultations at a large urban academic medical center from January 2005 to December 2008 were retrospectively reviewed. A clinician-completed registry was used to obtain patient information. Diagnoses were categorized into five broad groups for statistical analysis. Median age was 41 years (range, 6 weeks to 97 years), 50% were men, and the majority (67%) was Hispanic. The most common disease category was infectious followed by hepatobiliary. Prevalence of disease categories differed significantly among various racial groups. Majority (86%) of consult patients required admission. Thirty-eight percent of the consults resulted in an operative procedure, 40% of which were laparoscopic. The percentage of laparoscopic procedures increased during the 4-year study period. Patients with non-trauma surgical emergencies are young with a significantly wide range of diseases based on race. Less than half require emergent surgery. Laparoscopy is prevalent in emergency surgery and growing. Resources should be allocated to maximize the ability to treat infectious and hepatobiliary diseases, and to increase utilization of laparoscopy. The acute care surgeon needs to be proficient in laparoscopy.
Article: Proximal Esophageal pH Monitoring: Improved Definition of Normal Values and Determination of a Composite pH Score[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Patients with respiratory and laryngeal symptoms are commonly referred for evaluation of reflux disease as a potential cause. Dual-probe pH monitoring is often performed, although data on normal acid exposure in the proximal esophagus are limited because of the small number of normal subjects and inconsistent placement of the proximal pH sensor in relation to the upper esophageal sphincter. We measured proximal esophageal acid exposure using dual-probe pH and calculated a composite pH score in a large number of asymptomatic volunteers to better define normal values. Eighty-one normal subjects free of reflux, laryngeal, or respiratory symptoms were recruited. All had video esophagraphy to exclude hiatal hernia. Esophageal pH monitoring was performed using 1 of 3 different dual-probe catheters with sensors spaced 10, 15, or 18 cm apart. The standard components of esophageal acid exposure were measured, excluding meal periods. A composite pH score for the proximal esophagus was calculated using these components. The final study population consisted of 59 (49% male) subjects, with a median age of 27 years. All had normal distal esophageal acid exposure and no hiatal hernia. The 95(th) percentile values for the percent time the pH was < 4 for the total, upright, and supine periods were 0.9%, 1.2%, and 0.4%, respectively. The 95(th) percentile for the number of reflux episodes was 24 and for the calculated proximal esophageal composite pH score was 16.4. In a large population of normal subjects, we have defined the normal values and calculated a composite pH score for proximal esophageal acid exposure. The total percent time pH < 4 was similar to previously published normal values, but the number of reflux episodes was greater.
Article: Detection of gastric conduit ischemia or anastomotic breakdown after cervical esophagogastrostomy: The use of computed tomography scan versus early endoscopy[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Concern over potential injury to the anastomosis has limited the use of early postoperative endoscopy to diagnose conduit ischemia or anastomotic breakdown. Alternatively, a computed tomography (CT) scan has been suggested as a noninvasive means for identifying these complications. This study aimed to compare CT scan with early endoscopy for diagnosing gastric conduit ischemia or anastomotic breakdown after esophagectomy with cervical esophagogastrostomy. Between 2000 and 2007, 554 patients underwent an esophagectomy and gastric pull-up with cervical esophagogastrostomy at the University of Southern California. Records were reviewed to identify patients who had undergone endoscopy and CT scan within 24 h of each other during the first three postoperative weeks for suspicion of an ischemic conduit or anastomotic breakdown. The accuracies of CT scan and endoscopy in diagnosing an ischemic conduit were compared. A total of 76 patients had endoscopy and CT scan for clinical suspicion of conduit ischemia or anastomotic breakdown. Endoscopy was performed without complications in all 76 patients. The postoperative endoscopic findings were normal in 24 of the patients, and none subsequently experienced an ischemic conduit or anastomotic breakdown. Evidence of ischemia was present in 28 patients, 7 of whom had black mucosa throughout the gastric conduit with the anastomosis still intact and required removal of their conduit. The remaining 24 patients had partial or complete anastomotic breakdown. On the CT scan, 23 of the 76 patients showed evidence of conduit ischemia (n = 9) or anastomotic breakdown (n = 14). There was no evidence of ischemia or anastomotic breakdown on CT scan for the 24 patients with normal endoscopy or for 3 of the 7 patients who had their conduit removed for graft necrosis. A normal CT scan does not rule out the possibility of an ischemic gastric conduit after esophagectomy. Early endoscopy is a safe and accurate method for assessing conduit ischemia.

ABSTRACT: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) has been shown to increase morbidity but not mortality in trauma patients; however, little is known about the effects of ARDS in nontrauma surgical patients. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the risk factors for and outcomes of ARDS in nontrauma surgical patients. A prospective observational study was performed in the surgical intensive care unit (ICU) of an academic tertiary care center. From 2000 to 2005, all nontrauma surgical admissions to the surgical ICU were evaluated daily for ARDS based on predefined diagnostic criteria. Logistic regression analysis identified independent predictors for ARDS and ICU mortality. Of 2,046 patient identified, 125 (6.1%) met criteria for ARDS. The incidence of ARDS declined annually from 12.2% to 2.1% during the study period (p < 0.001). ARDS patients were significantly older (55.4 years vs. 51.8 years, p = 0.014) and more likely to be obese (32% vs. 22%, p = 0.007) than the non-ARDS population. Independent predictors of ARDS included use of pressors (relative risk, RR = 3.30), sepsis (RR = 1.72), and body mass index >or=30 kg/m (RR = 1.57). Independent predictors of ICU mortality included ARDS (RR = 6.88), pressors (RR = 2.85), positive fluid balance (RR = 2.27), Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (RR = 1.04), and age (RR = 1.02). Unlike trauma patients, ARDS was an independent predictor of ICU mortality in nontrauma surgical patients, independent of age and disease severity. Nontrauma surgical patients who developed ARDS were older, sicker, and had a longer ICU stay. Independent predictors of ARDS included use of pressors, sepsis, and obesity.
Article: In the Era of Routine Use of CT Scan for Acute Abdominal Pain, Should All Adults with Small Bowel Intussusception Undergo Surgery?[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In contrast to adult colonic intussusception in which malignancy is the dominant cause, small bowel intussusceptions are mostly benign. Although surgery is the accepted standard treatment, its necessity in small bowel intussusceptions identified by CT scan is unknown. Twenty-three patients from 2005 to 2008 (16 males; median age, 44 years) with acute abdominal pain and CT-proven small bowel intussusception were studied. Factors associated with the necessity for surgery were determined. Among 11 patients who were managed operatively, surgery was deemed unnecessary in two patients based on negative explorations. Follow up in 10 of 12 patients managed nonoperatively was not associated with any recurrence of intussusception or malignancy (median follow up, 14 months). The only predictor of the need for surgery was CT evidence of small bowel obstruction and/or a radiologically identified lead point, which was present in 7 of 9 (78%) patients having a necessary operation and absent in 12 of 14 (86%) with no indication for surgery (P = 0.008). All small bowel intussusceptions found on CT scan in patients with acute abdominal pain do not require operative management. CT findings of small bowel obstruction and/or presence of a lead point are indications for surgery.
Article: The Value of High-Resolution Manometry in the Assessment of the Resting Characteristics of the Lower Esophageal Sphincter[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: High-resolution manometry (HRM) is faster and easier to perform than conventional water perfused manometry. There is general acceptance of its usefulness in evaluating upper esophageal sphincter and esophageal body. There has been less emphasis on the use of HRM to evaluate the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) resting pressure and length, both factors important in LES barrier function. The aim of this study was to compare the resting characteristics of the LES determined by HRM and conventional manometry in the same patients. We performed both HRM and conventional manometry including a slow motorized pull-through technique in 55 patients with foregut symptoms. The characteristics of the LES analyzed were: resting pressure, total length, and abdominal length. Four available modes of HRM analysis were used to assess resting characteristics of the LES: spatiotemporal mode using both abrupt color change and isobaric contour, line tracing, and pressure profile. The values obtained from these four HRM modes were then compared to the conventional manometry measurements. High-resolution manometry and conventional manometry did not differ in their measurement of LES resting pressure. LES overall and abdominal length were consistently overestimated by HRM. A variability up to 4 cm in overall length was observed and was greatest in patients with hiatal hernia (1.8 vs. 0.9 cm, p = 0.027). The current construction of the catheter and software analysis used in high-resolution manometry do not allow precise measurement of LES length. Errors in the identification of the upper border of the sphincter may compromise accurate positioning of a pH probe.
Article: A simplified technique for intrathoracic stomach repair: laparoscopic fundoplication with Vicryl mesh and BioGlue crural reinforcement[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Laparoscopic repair of an intrathoracic stomach has been associated with a high recurrence rate. The use of biologic or synthetic mesh to reinforce the crural repair has been shown to reduce recurrence. This study aimed to assess a simplified technique for reinforcing the crural repair using absorbable Vicryl mesh secured with BioGlue during laparoscopic repair of an intrathoracic stomach. The charts of all patients who underwent laparoscopic repair of an intrathoracic stomach from June 2006 to March 2009 using the described technique were retrospectively reviewed. Intrathoracic stomach was defined as more than 50% of the stomach herniated into the chest. Follow-up assessment was routinely performed 1 year or more after surgery and included endoscopy, video esophagram, Bravo 48-h pH monitoring, and a gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)-health-related quality-of-life (HRQL) questionnaire. A total of 35 patients (male:female = 10:25) with a mean age of 70 years (48-89 years) and a mean body mass index (BMI) of 30.4 kg/m(2) (20.4-44.8 kg/m(2)) underwent repair using this technique. The median operating time was 144 min (101-311 min), and the median hospital stay was 2 days (1-21 days). There were three conversions (8.6%) and one intraoperative complication (2.9%). Three patients (8.6%) experienced postoperative complications. No mesh-related complications occurred. Follow-up assessment 1 year or more after surgery was available for 21 of the 25 eligible patients [median follow-up period, 14 months (11-34 months)]. There were two recurrences (9.5%), one of them asymptomatic. The median GERD-HRQL score was 5 (2-28). Nearly all the patients (91.3%) were satisfied with the operation, and 96% would have it again. Vicryl mesh secured with BioGlue is a simple and easy method for reinforcing the crural closure during laparoscopic repair of an intrathoracic stomach. The recurrence rate at 1 year is low and comparable with that of other series using biologic mesh secured with sutures or tacks.
Article: Planned early discharge-elective surgical readmission pathway for patients with gallstone pancreatitis[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We assessed outcomes in patients with gallstone pancreatitis (GSP) managed using a readmission pathway of discharge from the index admission with early readmission cholecystectomy and compared these with conventional management. We hypothesized that the pathway would decrease hospital length of stay (LOS). Prospective cohort study. County-based academic center. All patients admitted with GSP between June 1, 2005, and June 30, 2007. The control group consisted of patients from the year before the adoption of the readmission pathway. The pathway group patients were enrolled in the first year from its inception (July 1, 2006). Overall LOS, time from admission until operation, and pathway failures. Of 252 patients with GSP, 144 were managed by conventional methods, and 108 were managed using the readmission pathway. The overall mean (SD) LOS was 8.5 (6.0) days in the control group and 5.9 (3.1) days in the pathway group (P < .001). The mean (SD) times to surgery were 6.6 (4.5) days in the control group and 22.7 (10.4) days in the pathway group (P =.01). This did not lead to significantly more treatment failures, with 34 (23.6%) in the control group and 33 (30.6%) in the pathway group (P =.21). There were 6.5%(7 of 108) unplanned readmissions for recurrent pancreatitis in the pathway group. Morbidity was otherwise similar in both groups. Use of the readmission pathway's early discharge protocol decreased overall LOS and in this study population was not associated with any increase in morbidity compared with conventional management.

loss of posture
Tyler here with a golf fitness question and answer segment that you might enjoy.
Here was the recent email that we received regarding the golf fitness demands of a good backswing.
Fitness Guys,
My name is ____and I am an assistant golf pro in Phoenix and I am having minor issues with my golf swing and I believe they both have to do with fitness/flexibility. I constantly work on posture and I am an avid weight lifter. My two issues are, one, when i get to the top of my backswing i notice two things. One, my head actually drops (dips) a few inches during my backswing. I have studied pro swings and noticed that most will actually move a little away from the ball and then, on the down swing they swat (like tiger) or drive towards the ball. However, with my position I have to come out of my posture, which causes issues. The second problems I feel is related to the first. I can't get my hand high at the top of my swing. They are not flat, but definitely not in the position like Tiger or Ernie. I think I developed that dip thinking that if I could turn under the ball more then i can get my hands higher, but both moves just suck. What can you recommend?
Well, thanks for the Golf Fitness question. Let me see what I can do. I'm sure you are not alone with your problem of losing posture at the top of the swing. I normally only change a back swing position if it is directly influencing the poor move on the downswing, in this case it appears to be. The most likely issue facing you is that you probably have developed tight lats. As a weight lifter, I'm sure you know how important lat strength is, but for golfers an even bigger factor is lat flexibility. The lat connects the arm to the the pelvis and is highly involved in rotation and in elevating the arm height in the back swing. To test if your lats are tight, stand with your entire back up against a wall or door and try to raise your arms straight up over your shoulders. If you cannot touch the wall with your thumbs while keeping your lower back up against the wall and keeping your arms straight then you most likely have tight lats and this will influence your golf swing.
Usually the golfer with tight lats will keep the left shoulder closer to the left hip by dipping the head down (and sometimes toward the ball) in an attempt to make a larger swing than the body will allow. We have a saying in golf fitness, "shorten your swing or lengthen your lats." Now, because the lat connects on the upper arm, when it is tight it can also limit the amount of arm height you can achieve.
So assuming you have tight lats here are a few things you can do.
1. Foam roll your lats to remove trigger points
2. Perform lat stretches such as twisted lat stretch found in our free program.
3. Perform core activation exercises.
I have found that often times tight lats will not resolve themselves until you start integrating your abs into movements. Often the lats are overworked because of their ability to act as a core stabilizer in lieu of the deep core.
One final thought. I am not in the business of telling people what to enjoy, but I do like to educate – and you need to know that bench press (any form), pull ups, lat pull downs and any other internal rotation exercise can make your tight lat situation harder to correct. The shoulder external rotators (primarily infraspinatus) are very small compared to the size of the internal rotators (chest and lat). If you constantly stress the internal rotators in the gym it will be very tough to get the flexibility (turn and arm height) that you are looking for.
The top of the back swing only needs to be managed so that it doesn't lead to problems on the downswing. Good luck golfers and keep sending us those questions.

Loss of posture is any significant alteration from your body's original set up angles during your golf swing. This loss of posture can affect all aspects of the golf swing including timing, balance and rhythm. Losing spine angle or altering posture usually causes two miss-hits, a block to the right or a hook to the left. As the body angles change, the player is put in a position to have to rely on their hand action to square the face. This becomes a timing-driven swing that can be inconsistent.
1. Stiffness of joints in lower body- Hips, low back complex, SI joints, knees, ankles
2. Flexibility in hips and shoulders- in order to rotate around a stable posture, one must have good flexibility in the hips and shoulders. This allows you to get the club into key positions without altering your spine angle.
3. Inability to separate upper and lower body- and visa versa allows the player to maintain a stable posture and a proper sequence of motion during the swing. Limited trunk to pelvis separation is usually caused by reduced spinal mobility and shortened lat flexibility.
4. Inability to stabilize trunk- abs/glutes- the ability to stabilize the lower body is directly proportional to gluteal and abdominal strength. A stable neutral pelvic posture helps prevent thrusting toward the ball.
Remember, you lose posture for the above reasons! So the biggest way to get rid of your loss of posture besides with your professional, is to get rid of it in the gym!
If we can help, let us know…now is the time to get rid of those nasty swing faults!

Sorrow and joy. Eric Cantor and David Brat (r) on Tuesday night after the election results came in (AP).
What a Brat: A person who spent $150,000 on his campaign beat a person who spent $5 million on his campaign in an important Virginia congressional primary on Tuesday. David Brat, 49, a bespectacled economics professor with a master of a divinity degree from the Princeton Theological Seminary who ran on a platform of fact-based fiscal responsibility and "faith in God" beat House Majority Leader Eric Cantor in that primary, and the political world is just about screaming itself into hypoxia over it – and for good reason, because it proves, yet again, that the grassroots politics espoused by the Tea Party is very much alive.
But There's More: After winning on Tuesday, David Brat will face Democrat Jack Trammell in the race. The two men know each other well: Trammell is a sociology professor at Randolph-Macon College.
Extremists Overrun Iraq City: The militants took over Mosul, Iraq's second-largest city, on Tuesday. Some 500,000 residents fled the terror as the Shari-law loving group Islamic State in Iraq and Syria overran the airport, freed prisoners, and fought soldiers and police in the streets. Abu Bakr al-Bagdadi, who experts call "the most dangerous man in the world," leads the group ISIS. The group grew out of al Qaeda.
Another Shooting: A student at a high school in Troutdale, Ore., went to school Tuesday to commit violence with a gun. He killed one student, wounded a teacher, and then killed himself. Though it's the fifth high profile shooting in four weeks – Santa Barbara, Moncton, Seattle Pacific University, Las Vegas – experts say there is not an upward trend in mass shootings in America.
Suing to Stop $15 Wage: A group that represents franchises will likely announce Wednesday morning that it will sue Seattle to overturn a portion of the new $15 minimum wage law that deals with franchises. Under the $15 wage ordinance, franchises are counted as big businesses, even though they may be locally owned and only employ a handful of people – so, a local businessperson who owns one Subway franchise and employs 8 people gets counted as part of the entire chain of Subway restaurants.

The reality is that accidents do happen, which is why it's important that homeowners are prepared for any emergency situation should it arise.
"As the saying goes, 'prevention is better than cure', and when it comes to the safety and security of a home and more importantly those living under its roof – it's vital," says Adrian Goslett, CEO of RE/MAX of Southern Africa.
There are a few safety and security pointers homeowners should consider:
1. Have a plan
Goslett says the first step is to mentally map out the rooms in the house and check each one for any potential hazards or areas that could cause accidents. Once any potentially dangerous areas have been checked and rectified, it's important to set out an emergency plan of action with the family, so that everyone knows what to do and is prepared in an emergency situation.
2. Check inside and outside
Once the inside of the house has been checked, look at the garden and surrounding areas of the home. Ensure that swimming pools have safety coverings or perimeter fencing and any garden tools or flammable liquid is sealed and stored away in a locked garden shed or garage.
According to Goslett, packing away garden tools and items such as ladders is important to ensure they can't be used to break into the home, as these items often make it an easier target. He notes that palisade style fencing is a good option for home protection as it makes intruders visible to people walking by. It is also good to keep entry areas clear of foliage which can provide hiding places for burglars.
3. Test alarms and other equipment
A security alarm system or smoke alarms are only worthwhile if they are in good working order, so it is important that they are checked regularly, Goslett says. It is no use having a remote panic button if the batteries are flat or a smoke alarm that doesn't trigger during a fire. Ensuring that these elements are in working order is vital to the safety of the home and its occupants and they should be checked and tested regularly.
Goslett notes that most security systems will have a list of system check instructions printed on the keypad/system or in the manual. "Alternatively the homeowner can contact their contracted security company and ask them for instructions on how to test their security system," he says.
4. Equip home with fire extinguishers and a first-aid kit
A small spark can lead to devastating affects if it results in a fire, which is why it is important for homeowners to keep fire extinguishers handy. Strategically placed and easily accessible fire extinguishers can help prevent or reduce the danger of a fire reaching an uncontrollable point. Goslett says each family member should be aware of its location and how to use it.
Another essential item for safety is a first-aid kit. It can be useful for treating minor injuries or a life or death situation. Other than the essential requirements, the first aid kit should include information on CPR, the Heimlich Maneuver and emergency telephone numbers. A list of emergency telephone numbers should also be kept near the phone or in a central place like on the kitchen fridge.
The contents of a first aid kit as specified by Netcare 911 should include 4 packs of sterile gauze, adhesive, hypoallergenic tape, bandages in several sizes, 2 triangular elastic bandages, 2 crepe roller bandages, 1 large and 1 small, 2 large and 2 small sterile dressings and sterile eye dressings. It should also have eye pads with bandages, a pack of cotton wool swabs, plasters, antiseptic wipes, antibiotic cream and a pack of paracetamol tablets, including liquid paracetamol.
Rehydration sachets are essential, as well as extra prescription medication, tweezers, scissors, safety pins, a face cloth, a thermometer, 2 pairs of gloves and a torch and spare batteries. A space blanket (foil blanket) is also always a good idea for any emergency kit.
5. Check electrical points
Where possible, turn off or unplug unused electrical items to avoid overloading power points and fuse boxes. Goslett says it is worthwhile to have electrical faults seen to as soon as possible by a professional, as problems such as faulty lights or plugs could be a potential fire risk.
"For homeowners with small children, baby proofing electrical outlets is vital," he says. Pets should be protected from electrical hazards around the household, especially young animals that are curious and inclined to chew exposed wires.
6. Make friends with a neighbour
Having a trusted neighbour as a friend can help ensure the safety and security of the property and those who live there because they can act as a second pair of eyes, especially when the homeowner is away on holiday. Neighbours can check on the property, turn on lights, feed pets and collect post and can also provide assistance should any emergency situation arise.
7. Educate children about safety
Goslett says it's important for homeowners to teach their children how to use the telephone and show them where the list of emergency numbers is kept. "Children will need to understand which emergency number pertains to which situation - a brief explanation of what each number is used for could be vital in a crisis," he says.
Children and adults should know that in order for emergency services to provide assistance in the shortest time possible, details like the physical address (which children should learn off by heart) as well as the name of the nearest cross road to the property and a brief summary of the situation will need to be given.
Goslett says that although there is no foolproof method of guaranteeing the safety of a home's occupants, taking the necessary steps to prepare will ensure that they are ready to successfully negotiate any situation.

Cute but smaller than size chart
I'm a 34B and the size LARGE fits perfectly--so order larger than size chart indicates. This is very flattering and I like it a lot, although if you're body surfing at the ocean, be prepared for lots of sand to accumulate in the area where the removable pads go. Other than that, great!

really small
We got the extra small size and it is indeed extra small. Fits the 10 yr old rather than the 16 yr old who normally wears extra small.
boulder, CO
Maybe not as multi-use as I was hoping...thanks to my own anatomy.
Bought this in hopes it would fit like a sports bra and I could use it for lap swimming. Unfortunately I'm not as well-endowed as the product model, so every time I reach out my arms the top pulls up....it's not pretty. But on the good side: it is really cute, and is a little bit adjustable because it ties, and I got a new black bottom to wear with it. So instead of laps, this baby is for the hot tub or the beach.

i liked it!
I ordered this top to tan and swim in. I like it alot, especially the cut of it. It's a little looser than i expected on top, but that might be because i don't fill in the top all the way, Lol:)
Placerville, CA
Ordered a size big... glad I did
I wear a 32A bra and ordered a Medium. Good coverage and comfortable fit.

runs small but comfortable
used it once for water skiing, and it stayed in place.it runs small so do get at least one size up.the cross back makes it more secure and comfortable than a halter.
Long Beach, CA
Cute, but not great for swimming laps
Its cute for maybe just a swimsuit, but I thought it was an athletic swim suit. I bought it for swimming laps, but I don't feel comfortable doing this because it slids up. But, it is a cute swim suit, just wish the elastic on the bottom of the suit was thicker so it wouldn't slide.

Glad I purchased
I can't complain for the deal I got on these, but they do fit fairly small. I probably won't use this for swim workouts because I'd be too worried about is riding up, etc. It is cute and was great for hanging out in the pool on my recent vacation though.
Southern CA
cute top
i'm a 34a, broad shoulders and got a M. i think a S would cover too little. i like that it has padding and some shape to the top instead of just straight across. i wish it didn't have a tie back tho. it rides up a lot. but the straps in back are cute.

Bande Nawaz
|Sufi philosophy
Hazarat Syedena Khwaja Muhammad Hussaini Gesu Daraz Ya Banda Nawaz Al Chishti Nizami RTA title = Banda Nawāz and Gaisu Daraz,
|13 July 1321
|1 November 1422(aged 101)
|Islamic golden age
|Main interest(s)
Influenced by
Syed Muhammad Hussaini, commonly known as Hazrat Khwaja Banda Nawaz Gaisu Daraz (Urdu: خواجہ بندہ نواز گیسو دراز) (13 July 1321 – 1 November 1422), was a famous Sufi saint from India of the Chishti Order, who advocated understanding, tolerance and harmony among various religious groups.
Gaisu Daraz was a murid (disciple) of the noted Sufi saint of Delhi, Hazrat Nasiruddin Chiragh Dehlavi. After the death of Chiragh Dehlavi, Gaisu Daraz took on the mantle of the successor (khalifa). When he moved to Daulatabad around 1398, owing to the attack of Timur on Delhi, he took the Chishti Order to South India.[1] He finally settled down in Gulbarga, at the invitation of Bahamani Sultan, Taj ud-Din Firuz Shah.[2]
Banda Nawaz was born to Syed Muhammad Hussaini in Delhi in 1321. At the age of four, his family shifted to Daulatabad in Deccan (now in Maharashtra). In 1397, he went to Gulbarga, Deccan (presently in Karnataka) at the invitation of Sultan Taj ud-Din Firuz Shah.
At the age of fifteen, he returned to Delhi for his education and training by Nasiruddin Chiragh Dehlavi. He was also a very enthusiastic student of Hazrat Kethli, Hazrat Tajuddin Bahadur and Qazi Abdul Muqtadir. After teaching at various places such as Delhi, Mewath, Gwalior, Chander, Aircha, Chatra, Chanderi, Miandhar, Baroda, Khambayat and Gulbarga in 1397 and died in Gulbarga in the year November 1422.
His name as well as patronymic was Abul-Fatah and Gaisu Daraz was his title. Among the scholars and theologians he was Sheikh Abul-Fatah Sadr Uddin Muhammad Dehlavi but people called him Khwaja Banda Nawaz Gaisu Daraaz.
He was the descendant of Hazrat Ali.[citation needed] His forefathers resided in Hirat. One of them came to Delhi and settled down here. Hazrat Sheikh Muhammad was born here on 4, Rajab, 721 Hijri. His father Hazrat Syed Yousuf was a holy figure and devoted to Hazrat Nizam Uddin Aulia.
Sultan Muhammad-bin Tughlaq once transferred his capital to Daulatabad (Devgiri) and along with him went many scholars, theologians, and mystics. His parents also migrated to the place. He was four years at the time Malik-ul-Umar Hazrat Syed Ibrahim Mustafa, his maternal uncle, was the governor of Daulatabad.
Childhood and early education[edit]
His father always stressed the importance of education. From his childhood he was inclined towards religion and spent time in meditation and prayer. His father died when he was ten and his maternal grandfather assumed responsibility for his education and training and taught him initial books but he took lessons on Misbah and Qadoori from another teacher.
In Delhi[edit]
On the death of his fatheelhi. He was fifteen at the time. He had heard a lot about Hazrat Nizam Uddin Auliya and Hazrat Nasir Uddin Roshan Chiragh Dehlavi from his father and maternal grand father and grew devoted to them. One day he went to say his prayer in the Jama-Majid of Sultan Qutub Uddin, there he saw Hazrat Sheikh Nasir Uddin Mahmud Chiragh Dehlavi and pledged obedience to him on 16, Rajab. Under the guidance of Hazrat Nasir Uddin Chiragh Dehlavi he engaged himself in prayers and meditation and so much enjoyed them that he forbade studies and requested his teacher to allow him to do so. Hazrat Nasir Uddin denied him permission and instructed him to study with attention Usool-e-Bizoori, Risals Shamsia, Kashaf, Misbah so he restarted the studies under the guidance of renowned teachers.
Title Gesu-Daraaz[edit]
One day he with other disciples lifted the palanquin bearing Hazrat Nasir Uddin. His long hair stuck into the foot of the palki and pained him severely but he did not disentangle them for love and respect to the teacher. When Hazrat Nasir Uddin learned of the episode, he was overjoyed and recited the Persian couplet:
"Har ki murid Syed gesu daraaz shud Vallah khilaf-e-nest ki Uoo ishq baaz shud." ("Syed Gesu Daraaz has pledged his obedience; there is nothing wrong in it because he has deeply fallen in love.")
He thus gained the title "Gesu Daraaz".
In Afghanistan and Balochistan[edit]
Syed preached Islam in Afghanistan and Balochistan too. In Afghanistan he married a Pathan woman of the Kakar tribe and had Four sons, Storee (Ustarana), Wardag, Hazrat Syed Masood Ali Shah (Mashwani) and Hunny.Gandapur living in the area of layyah(Punjab Pakistan), Daamaan (Dera Ismail Khan) are descendants of Storee(ustarana), and brothers of Ustrana and Humma. From the lineage of Ali Ibne Abitalib a popular prince or governor from Persia (Iran) Syed Kalan Gesu Daraz who was devoted to mysticism as per local sayings around 800 ce who was the son of syed qaf the fourth generation from the Islamic scholar and imam jafare sadiq was very popular here at that time too which matched with the title Gesu Daraz Awwal of the Bande Nawaz Gesu Daraz.
In Gulbarga[edit]
Having lived for over forty years in Delhi, he moved to Gulbarga at the age of around 76. Firoz Shah Bahmani ruled over the Deccan during this period. He gave him much respect. For a long time he was engaged in religious discourses, sermons, and spiritual training of the people.
Bande Nawaz attained an age of 101 years, died on 16 Ziqa'ad 825 Hijri in Gulbarga and was buried there. His tomb is a place of Ziyaarat,
- If a Salik prays or meditates for fame, he is an atheist.
- If one prays or meditates out of fear, he is a cheat and a hypocrite.
- So long as a man disengages himself from all the worldly things, he would not step into the road of misconduct.
- Divide the night into three periods: in the first period say Darud and recitation; in the second sleep and in the third call His name and meditate.
- The Salik should be careful in food it should be legitimate.
- The Salik should abstain from the company of the worldly people.[2]
Bande Nawaz authored about 195 books in Arabic, Persian and Urdu.[2] His magnum opus, Tafseer Multaqat, was compiled into one book very recently.[when?] He also composed a book on the Prophet of Islam titled Miraj-al Ashiqin for the instruction of the masses in Dakhni, a South Indian branch of the Urdu language. He was the first Sufi to use this vernacular which was elaborated upon by many other Sufi saints of South India in later centuries.[3] He wrote many treatises on the works on Ibn Arabi and Suhrawardi, which made the works of these scholars accessible to Indian scholars and played a major role in influencing later mystical thought.[citation needed] Other books authored are Qaseeda Amali and Adaab-al-Mureedein.

Several hundred thousand devotees from near and far, irrespective of religion and beliefs, gather to seek blessings.[2]

I'm pretty worried about this guys.
Granted I send my kid to private, the curriculum is rated the toughest in the
But... I had a discussion recounted to me from a counselor in a public school.
He said that kids who go the Smart Core route are 99.9% more likely to be accepted into college than those that do Common.
He said that Common Core kids (Which the majority of the kids in their school are in) have little to no chance in getting either a college admission or a scholarship.
The thing that REALLY REALLY irritates me is the Smart VS Common terminology. How insane is that!??? Seriously? Peer pressure, insecurity, low self esteem anyone?
I know when I was in school we had AP classes, and yes they greatly helped in college placement. I took some, but couldn't do the math courses. I was still accepted in college AND got a small academic scholarship.
The thing is, as far as I can tell, you are in either common or smart. Not both. Am I mistaken? My Nephew was encouraged to go smart and if he couldn't cut it they would drop him down.
Now why on earth not just teach everyone the same?
I tried to take an 8th grade test from the 1920's and honestly I couldn't answer a SINGLE question. I'm seriously angry that I was shafted on a decent education. I'm doing the best I can for my kid now, but it's not even remotely comparable to what they did in the past.
Another serious problem I see with SC/CC is in changing the way they teach math so that we parents have to relearn the process. Why not do the standard "way" that has worked for centuries instead of confusing everyone?
I'm just seriously disturbed.
