Does surgery for Ulcerative Colitis be Associated with a High Rate of Readmissions at 30 Days?
Surgery for UC is associated with a high rate of readmission. Further prospective studies are necessary to determine the means to reduce these readmissions.
Mechanodistention in infants with HIE results in upregulation of central vagal effects (ie, heightened cholinergic excitatory responses as demonstrated by exaggerated UES contractile reflex activity and heightened inhibitory responses evident by exaggerated LES relaxation reflex activity). Prolonged and poorly coordinated peristaltic responses may underlie dysfunction of aerodigestive regulation. Modulation of sensorimotor aspects of aerodigestive reflexes is altered in infants with HIE, and hypothermia may further modify such effects.
