Safety and adverse events of EUS-guided gallbladder drainage using lumen-apposing metal stents and percutaneous cholecystostomy tubes: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Post written by Umar Hayat, MD, MPH, from Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center, Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, USA. EUS-guided gallbladder drainage using lumen-apposing metal stents (EUS-GBD-LAMSs) and percutaneous cholecystostomy for gallbladder drainage (PTGBD) are the alternative treatment modalities in high-risk surgical patients with acute cholecystitis (AC). This study aimed to compare the safety of these procedures for …
Analyzing methods for reducing recurrence rates after EMR of large nonpedunculated colorectal polyps: an indirect pairwise comparison
Post written by Dhruvil Radadiya, MD, from the University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City, Kansas, USA. The focus of our study was to compare EMR with snare tip soft coagulation (STSC), EMR with argon plasma coagulation (APC), and underwater EMR (U-EMR) techniques routinely used for resection of large nonpedunculated polyps indirectly with each other with …
Artificial intelligence–assisted real-time monitoring of effective withdrawal time during colonoscopy: a novel quality marker of colonoscopy
Post written by Wai K. Leung, MD, from the University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China. In this study, we developed a novel artificial intelligence (AI)-based quantitative measurement for effective withdrawal time (EWT) during colonoscopy. This measurement also takes into consideration the quality of the images obtained during colonoscope withdrawal. Standard withdrawal time, a simple measurement …
