Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to analyze how general endoscopists' ability to predict the histologic features of small colorectal polyps improved when using a computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) system during real-life colonoscopies in the U.S.
- - Results showed that while both unassisted and CADx-assisted predictions had similar sensitivity (around 90%), the assisted group's specificity was significantly higher, allowing more polyps to be resected or left untreated.
- - Despite the benefits seen in a clinical setting, the study noted that the use of CADx might not yield the same results in other real-world scenarios.
Background: Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) is increasingly requiring revisional surgery for complications and failures. Removal of the band and conversion to either laparoscopic Roux-en-y gastric bypass (LRYGB) or laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is feasible as a single-stage procedure. The objective of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of single-stage revision from LAGB to either LRYGB or LSG at 6 and 12 months postoperatively.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFThe development of the adrenal cortex involves the formation and then subsequent regression of immature or fetal inner cell layers as the mature steroidogenic outer layers expand. However, controls over this remodeling, especially in the immature inner layer, are incompletely understood. Here we identify an inner cortical cell population that expresses thyroid hormone receptor-β1 (TRβ1), one of two receptor isoforms encoded by the Thrb gene.
