Background And Aims: Underwater endoscopic mucosal resection (UEMR) has emerged as a promising alternative to conventional endoscopic mucosal resection (CEMR) for the treatment of colorectal laterally spreading tumors (LSTs). This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of UEMR and CEMR in managing LSTs measuring 10-30 mm.
Methods: A post hoc analysis was performed on 88 patients with 88 colorectal LSTs, who were randomly assigned to two treatment groups: 42 with CEMR and 46 with UEMR.
Background And Aim: infection is a major cause of peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer. Limited data exist on prevalence and risk factors of infection among elderly individuals in Vietnam.

- This study investigates the effect of melatonin on reducing cesarean births during labor induction, hypothesizing that it may help lower the need for surgical intervention.
- The trial was randomized and double-blind, involving 189 women with healthy singleton pregnancies, comparing those given 10 mg of melatonin to a placebo.
- Results showed that cesarean rates were similar between the two groups, but the melatonin group had a lower rate of spontaneous vaginal births within 24 hours, leading to early termination of the trial due to logistical issues from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Article Synopsis
- Functional dyspepsia (FD) is a widespread issue that requires ruling out physical causes for diagnosis, but this can be tough in areas with limited resources.
- A consensus was formed by 32 experts from Vietnamese universities to update guidelines for managing FD, using the Delphi method for structured discussions.
- After two voting rounds, the panel approved 14 statements focusing on diagnostic tests and treatments for FD, aiming to aid physicians in effective management and share valuable data for the Asian region.
