Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how an artificial intelligence (AI) tool improves the detection of colorectal polyps during colonoscopy, particularly for patients with poor bowel preparation.
- Using a case-control design and propensity score matching, researchers analyzed data from 2017 to 2023 to compare colonoscopies performed with and without AI assistance.
- Results show that AI significantly increased the detection rates of various types of polyps, especially in patients with inadequate preparation, highlighting its potential role in enhancing colonoscopy outcomes.
Objectives: This study aimed to characterize the clinical outcomes, safety, and efficacy of lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS) in treating benign gastrointestinal strictures.
Methods: A single-center retrospective review of all patients who underwent LAMS placement for benign strictures from June 2017 to July 2023. Primary outcomes were technical success, early clinical success, late clinical success (LCS), and sustained post-LAMS clinical success (SPLCS).
Article Synopsis
- Gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC) is a leading cause of cancer deaths globally, especially prevalent in areas like Latin America and Eastern Asia, with significantly higher rates seen in non-White populations in the U.S.
- A phase II clinical trial investigated the effectiveness of a curcuminoid preparation on patients with high-risk gastric premalignant conditions, addressing a significant gap in GAC chemoprevention research.
- The study faced challenges such as regulatory hurdles, recruitment issues in Honduras, and disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic and natural disasters, yet it highlights the importance of international collaborations for cancer prevention in underserved Latino populations.
Emerging evidence suggests a broader spectrum of celiac disease (CeD) system involvement, including neurological manifestations. We aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of the available evidence from studies assessing the association of cognitive impairment and insomnia with CeD. A total of 259 participants with CeD were included in the studies investigating insomnia and 179 were included in studies investigating cognitive impairment.
