Background: There is no clarity with regard to the occurrence of serious complications from EGD-driven mucosal biopsy. This is important for considering both clinically indicated procedures and mucosal sampling for research. Methods: We sought to quantify rates of serious complications from esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) with biopsy. We studied 13,233 patients undergoing outpatient EGD with biopsy over 5 years in 2 North Dakota community hospitals, based on the reasoning that serious complications would cause hospitalization within 30 days. We reviewed the records of all patients with a diagnostic or procedure code or admission within 30 days after the outpatient EGD with biopsy. Results: Of the 13,233 patients who underwent outpatient EGD with biopsy, 411 were admitted within 30 days, most of them because of their underlying diagnosis. Two patients were admitted due to complications that resulted because of additional simultaneous procedures. No patient was admitted because of complications that could be ascribed to conscious sedation, upper GI endoscopic access, or mucosal biopsy. Conclusions: These data confirm that EGD biopsy is safe within community settings and suggest that the risk/benefit ratio for performing EGD biopsy for research is likely to be favorable if the research has scientific merit. Serious complications or perforation following EGD biopsy did not occur in 13,233 patients in community hospitals in North Dakota.

Most low-income Americans fail to meet physical activity recommendations. Inactivity and poor diet contribute to obesity, a risk factor for multiple chronic diseases. Health promotion activities have the potential to improve health outcomes for low-income populations. Measuring the effectiveness of these activities, however, can be challenging in community settings. A “Biking for Health” study tested the impact of a bicycling intervention on overweight or obese low-income Latino and African American adults to reduce barriers to cycling and increase physical activity and fitness. A randomized controlled trial was conducted in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in summer 2015. A 12-week bicycling intervention was implemented at two sites with low-income, overweight, or obese Latino and African American adults. We found that randomized controlled trial methodology was suboptimal for use in this small pilot study and that it negatively affected participation. More discussion is needed about the effectiveness of using traditional research methods in community settings to assess the effectiveness of health promotion interventions. Modifications or alternative methods may yield better results. The aim of this article is to discuss the effectiveness and feasibility of using traditional research methods to assess health promotion interventions in community-based settings.

In Indonesia the distribution of inheritance, there are often disputes between parties who have an interest in each other. This makes some people choose to make a Inher itance Certificate which aims to prove the parties entitled to inheritance from the testator. In practice, heirs are often found that contain incorrect statements and serve as evidence in court proceedings, as found in Supreme Court Decision Number 121/Pid/2017/PT.DKI. This article discusses the power of proof of authentic deeds which contain incorrect statements in terms of the perspective of the Civil Procedure Code and the validity of an agreement based on authentic deeds which contain incorrect statements based on the Civil Code. Normative juridical research methods are used in this study, namely in-depth analysis of the positive regulations concerned and also field research related to the process of making a Certificate of Inheritance in the Religious Courts, Notaries, and Village Offi ce. Based on the results showed the Inheritance Certificate containing incorrect information, still has the power of proof attached as long as no cancellation is submitted to the judge by the parties who feel disadvantaged, and as long as there is no decision from the court stating that the deed is invalid. However, if there has been a decision from a judge stating that a certain authentic deed is invalid, then the deed no longer has the perfect proof of strength as an authentic deed.

Expert’s Testimony is the information of a person who has special expertise for the purpose of examination in a criminal case and must be given in court. An expert must provide information for justice, as well as possible and according to knowledge in his area of expertise. The expert's testimony from the police is still questionable on the independence and justice of the defendant, the expert must be independent and fair in giving explanation there should be no influence from internal or external parties. There are still many expert testimonies from investigators who are highly doubtful of their independence and deemed inappropriate to be made expertly by academicians, but in the Criminal Procedure Code it is not clear whether the expert's testimony from the investigator is allowed or not. Therefore the author interested in conducting research related to the validity of expert testimony from investigators. The author conducted research with normative legal research methods supported by interviews are expected to help answer the research and the source of interviewed is from the academics and practitioners. In the absence of clear rules, the expert's testimony from the investigator will be the pros and cons but if it refers to the understanding and the main purpose of expert testimony in the Criminal Procedure Code, it is unlikely that the expert's expertise is allowed because it will not be free, independent.
