Active narcotic use and post–peroral endoscopic myotomy outcomes in esophageal motility disorders

Background and AimsPeroral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM) is a minimally invasive technique used to treat esophageal motility disorders. Opioid use has been demonstrated to adversely affect esophageal dysmotility and is associated with an increased prevalence of esophageal motility disorders. Our aim was to investigate the effect of narcotic use on success rates in patients undergoing POEM. MethodsThis was a single center retrospective study of patients undergoing POEM between February 2017 and September 2021. Primary outcomes were post-POEM Eckardt Score (ES), Distensibility Index (DI), and length of procedure. Secondary outcomes included technical success, myotomy length, length of stay, adverse events, reintervention rates, post-procedure GERD. ResultsDuring the study period, 90 patients underwent POEM for treatment of esophageal dysmotility disorders. Age, sex, race, indications for POEM, and BMI were not significant between those with or without narcotic use. There were no differences in procedure time, pre-procedure ES, or length of stay. Post-procedure ES were higher in the active narcotic user group compared to the no prior history group (2.73 vs. 1.2, p = .004). Distensibility indices (DI) measured with EndoFLIP were not different in narcotic users compared with opioid naïve subjects. ConclusionActive narcotic use negatively impacts symptom improvement following POEM for treatment of esophageal motility disorders.

Food Insecurity in the Elective Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Colorectal Surgical Population: Prevalence and Implications for Surgical Outcomes.

Food insecurity is defined as having limited or uncertain availability of nutritionally adequate food. Approximately 10.5% of U.S. households are food-insecure. Our study aimed to determine the prevalence and postoperative implications of food insecurity in a diverse group of colorectal surgery patients admitted to a hospital in an area with a higher-than-average median income. The 6-question Household Food Security Survey was added to the colorectal surgery ERAS program preoperative paperwork. Patient demographics, comorbidities, operative parameters, length of stay, and postoperative outcomes were collected by review of electronic medical records. A total of 294 ERAS patients (88.8%) completed the survey over an 11-month period. Thirty-three patients (11.2%) were identified as food-insecure. Food-insecure patients were more likely to be non-white (P = .003), younger (P = .009), smokers (P = .004), chronic narcotic users (P < .001), unmarried (P = .007), and have more comorbidities (P = .004). The food-insecure population had more frequent postoperative ileus (P = .044). Hospital length of stay was significantly longer in food-insecure patients (8.6days vs 5.4days, P < .001). Food-insecure patients also had higher rates of >30-day mortality (P = .049). Food insecurity was found to occur in patients that lived in communities deemed both affluent and distressed. These patients had longer hospital stays and higher mortality. A food insecurity questionnaire can easily identify patients at risk. Further investigations to mitigate these complications are warranted.

The Relevance of Islamic Law to Criminal Sanctions for Narcotics Users in Indonesia

The increasing number of drug users netted in Indonesia has made prisons and detention centres over capacity. The high number of narcotics cases has filled prisons and detention centres, mainly with those who stumble on narcotics cases. This study aims to describe Islamic punishments for cases of drug users that are relevant, based on benefit and does not cause new polemics. This type of research is library research using a descriptive-analytic method by looking for primary and secondary references related to this study. Based on the results of the analysis, it is stated that sanctions against drug users have so far not yielded good results and have even created several new polemics. Meanwhile, Islamic punishment, ta'zir, is more appropriate and relevant to narcotics users. Ta'zir punishment is preventive, which can prevent a person from getting away from drugs; repressive, which makes offenders deterrent; curative, which can provide changes in the perpetrators; and educative, both for drug offenders and other people. The implementation of Law No. 35 of 2009 on narcotics is still unable to overcome the problem of drug abuse properly, even causing new problems such as exceeded prison capacity, increased state budget burden, and punishments that do not have a positive impact on perpetrators. Islamic punishment, with a more humane and effective approach, can be a viable alternative to address this problem.

Narcotics Correctional Institutions (Lapas) provide guidance, mental recovery, and behavior for narcotics users and dealers. Apart from that, prisons are also required to maintain the health of their inmates, as in the case study of this research at the narcotics prison class II B Muara Sabak. Health services that have been running so far are still conventional or manual, in which the inmates want to seek treatment and health checks through health workers (nurses) assigned to the prison, but in consultation services to doctors, nurses are always in contact via telephone or doctors can come directly. This is sometimes inconvenient, especially for busy doctors who can't immediately pick up the phone or who have the problem of telephone interference during consultations. For this reason, it is necessary to have a website-based consulting service system that needs to be designed to overcome this problem. The methods used in this research are problem analysis, material collection, system design, and prototypes. This research will produce a prototype of a health service information system and a doctor's consultation in which this system provides consultation services to doctors via chat via an online application system so that doctors can handle problems without having to come in person or via telephone. Consultation records and medical record history will always be stored in a database that makes it easier for officers to trace back, and health services for prison members can be handled quickly and effectively.&#x0D; Keywords : prison, consultation, doctor, online
