Post written by Martin C.S. Wong, MD, and Junjie Huang, PhD, from The Jockey Club School of Public Health and Primary Care, Faculty of Medicine, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shatin, Hong Kong. The incidence and mortality of early-onset colorectal cancer (CRC) have been increasing in many parts of the world. The American Cancer Society and the U.S. …
Post written by M. Ammar Kalas, MD, from Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center El Paso, El Paso, Texas, USA. This study aimed to assess the effect of a through-the-scope balloon attachment on depth of maximal ileal insertion (DMI) during retrograde enteroscopy. We adopted a crossover trial design in which each patient in the study …
Post written by Wai Keung Leung, MD, from the Department of Medicine, School of Clinical Medicine, The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China. This study aimed to determine long-term colonoscopy outcomes in patients after computer-assisted detection (CADe) colonoscopy at baseline. Although CADe colonoscopy has been consistently demonstrated to increase the colorectal adenoma or polyp detection rate, …
Post written by Sanjay Gadi, MD, and Jeremy Glissen Brown, MD, from Duke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina, USA. Artificial intelligence—based computer-aided detection (CADe) software may improve colorectal cancer outcomes by increasing adenoma detection while reducing miss rates during colonoscopy. CADe has had promising results in controlled environments but mixed results when evaluated in …
Post written by Manas Kumar Panigrahi, MD, DM, FRCP (Edin), from the Department of Gastroenterology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Bhubaneswar, India. The focus of our study was to improve on existing methods of bowel preparation in colonoscopy. Bowel preparation is the most important determinant of a proper colonoscopy. Inadequate bowel preparation often leads to missed …
Post written by James Love, MD, from the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Department of Medicine, University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, Illinois, USA. Our study focused on comparing quality performance metrics between screening and surveillance colonoscopies. Although screening colonoscopies have well-established benchmarks, particularly for adenoma detection rate (ADR), surveillance procedures lack such validated metrics. This …
Post written by Fumiaki Ishibashi, MD, PhD, from the International University of Health and Welfare Ichikawa Hospital, Chiba, Japan. Specific visual gaze pattern (VGP) during colonoscopy is assumed to be related to high colorectal adenoma detection. This randomized controlled trial (RCT) evaluated the optimal VGP that enabled the highest adenoma detection. We developed an eye-tracking and feedback …
