Article Abstract
Sexual and gender minorities (SGMs) experience critical barriers to health care access and have unique health care needs that are often overlooked. Given the rise in individuals identifying as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer, colorectal surgeons are likely to care for increasing numbers of such individuals. Here, we discuss key barriers to health care access and research among SGM populations and outline approaches to address these barriers in clinical practice. We also highlight two specific topics relevant to SGM populations that colorectal surgeons should be familiar with: current approaches to anal cancer screening among men who have sex with men, and transgender individuals, as well as the management of recto-neovaginal fistula in transfeminine individuals.

Arthritis Care Res (Hoboken)

Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland, USA.
Background: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in systemic sclerosis (SSc), particularly among Black patients. Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) are critical to screen for and monitor SSc-ILD. We examined whether race-specific and race-neutral PFT reference equations impact classification of restrictive lung disease (RLD) severity in Black and White patients with SSc.
