Rectus abdominis muscle abscess after performing colonoscopy —A case report
This graphical represents the abstract of the case and article highlights. Key Clinical MessageEndoscopic removal of premalignant polyps can prevent colorectal cancers. It is considered a safe procedure, yet there are some complications reported. Rectus abdominis muscle abscess (RAMA) is a type of pyomyositis seen as a complication of rectus sheath hematoma. Predisposing factors to RAMA include trauma, diabetes mellitus, alcohol abuse, Intravenous drug abuse and hematologic diseases.In this article, we report a case of a 74-year-old patient with abscess formation in the Rectus Abdominis muscle after colonoscopy and polypec...

Polyp segmentation with interference filtering and dynamic uncertainty mining
Phys Med Biol. 2024 Feb 21. doi: 10.1088/1361-6560/ad2b94. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAccurate polyp segmentation from colonoscopy images plays a crucial role in the early diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer. However, existing polyp segmentation methods are inevitably affected by various image noises, such as reflections, motion blur, and feces, which significantly affect the performance and generalization of the model. In addition, coupled with ambiguous boundaries between polyps and surrounding tissue, i.e., small inter-class differences, accurate polyp segmentation remains a challenging problem. To address t...

Effect of an E-learning resource on endoscopists ’ proximal serrated polyp detection rate: a randomized controlled trial
Conclusion In an era of increased awareness and increasing PSPDRs, endoscopists who undertook a one-time e-learning course significantly accelerated the increase in PSPDR compared with endoscopists who did not undertake the e-learning. Widespread implementation might reduce PCCRC incidence.
