Collaboration identifies better ways to stratify patients with IBD

A collaboration between pediatric gastroenterology and the Center for Individualized Medicine offers young patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) the opportunity for deep sequencing of DNA to identify the genetic basis of their symptoms and a therapeutic treatment strategy.

Diagnosis and treatment algorithm aids patients with POPH and HPS

Mayo pulmonologists with expertise in the management of portopulmonary hypertension (POPH) and hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) help care for patients with chronic liver disease secondary to cirrhosis.

Improvements to standard bilateral cervical exploration benefit patients with primary hyperparathyroidism

Focused parathyroidectomy entails an image-guided exploration of a single parathyroid adenoma with the use of intraoperative parathyroid hormone monitoring to define a biochemical cure. Smaller incisions often result in earlier hospital dismissal and return to usual activities.
