Enhancing endoscopic measurement: validating a quantitative method for polyp size and location estimation in upper gastrointestinal endoscopy
ConclusionsThe proposed method of measurements of polyp size and location was found to be highly accurate, offering great potential for clinical implementation to improve polyp assessment. This level of performance represents a notable improvement over visual estimation technique used in clinical practice. (Source: Surgical Endoscopy)

Underwater versus conventional endoscopic mucosal resection for ≥10 mm sessile or flat colorectal polyps: A systematic review and meta-analysis
by Xue Wang, Yue Wang, Xueyan Cao, Chunmei Zhang, Lin Miao
Background and aimUnderwater endoscopic mucosal resection (UEMR) has been an emerging substitute for conventional EMR (CEMR). This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed at comparing the efficiency and safety of the two techniques for removing ≥10 mm sessile or flat colorectal polyps. MethodsPubMed, Cochrane Library and Embase databases were searched up to February 2023 to identify eligible studies that compared the outcomes of UEMR and CEMR. This meta-analysis was conducted on the en bloc resection rate, R0 resection rate, complete resection rate, procedure t...

Efficient organized colorectal cancer screening in Shenzhen: a microsimulation modelling study
CONCLUSION: This study identifies efficient CRC screening strategies for the average-risk population in Shenzhen. Most efficient screening strategies indeed start at age 40, but the optimal starting age depends on the chosen willingness-to-pay threshold. Within insufficient colonoscopy resources, efficient FIT and NCPCS screening strategies might be CRC initial screening strategies. We acknowledged the age-dependency bias of the results with NCPCS and RS.PMID:38429684 | DOI:10.1186/s12889-024-18201-w (Source: Cancer Control)

GSE199173 Specific serum methylome of the serrated pathway of colorectal carcinogenesis
This study was conducted to explore the serum methylome of precancerous lesions belonging to the serrated pathway of colorectal carcinogenesis in a prospective multicentre cohort. Individuals were grouped into five main categories: (i) serrated adenocarcinoma (SAC), (ii) high-risk serrated polyps (HR-SP) comprising traditional serrated adenomas (TSA), sessile serrated lesions (SSL), and serrated polyps (SP) with dysplasia or ≥ 10 mm; (iii) high-risk hyperplastic polyps (HR-HP), defined as HP ≥ 10 mm; (iv) low-risk serrated lesions (LR-SL) including SP without dysplasia< 10 mm and HP< 10 mm; and (v) healthy individuals ...

Older Woman With Proptosis, Ptosis, and Blurred Vision
A woman in her early 70s with a history of coronary artery disease, hypertension, and colon polyps presented to oculoplastic surgery with 1 week of progressive right-sided proptosis, headache, right eyelid ptosis, and blurry vision. Outside magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated an infiltrative mass involving right greater than left orbital apices, the right optic nerve, and right extraocular muscles. What would you do next?
