NEW: Have acute appendicitis? To the OR… not so fast.

10-year RCT data (APPAC) show antibiotics alone work for many with uncomplicated disease:
• ~56% avoided surgery
• Recurrence ~38%
• MUCH fewer complications (8.5% vs 27.4% with surgery)

Appendectomy isn’t the only answer anymore. #press #EvidenceBased #evidencebased #press https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2844116?guestAccessKey=0d7f20b5-a2e0-48c8-94c9-cee3a1efb051&utm_medium=email&utm_source=postup_jn&utm_campaign=article_alert-jama&utm_content=etoc-tfl_&utm_term=032426

Antibiotic Therapy for Uncomplicated Acute Appendicitis

This observational follow-up of patients in the Appendicitis Acuta multicenter randomized clinical trial conducted in Finland assesses the 10-year appendicitis recurrence and appendectomy rate in adult patients with uncomplicated appendicitis treated with antibiotics.

Which genetic mechanisms underlie the relationship between preschool vocabulary and later literacy skills?

Preschool vocabulary acquisition is associated with later language and literacy skills. Genetic factors might partially explain this link, but the precise mechanisms are unclear. Thus far, twin-based studies have implicated mechanisms involving genetic amplification or genetic innovation.
