AmplifEYE assisted colonoscopy versus standard colonoscopy: A randomized controlled study.

Background And Aim: AmplifEYE is a mucosal exposure device mounted to the tip of colonoscope to improve polyp or adenoma detection. We aim to compare the adenoma detection rates (ADR) of AmplifEYE-assisted colonoscopy (AC) with standard colonoscopy (SC).

Methods: We performed a randomized controlled trial involving patients aged 50 to 79 who underwent AC or SC in two centers.

Idiopathic mesenteric phlebosclerosis: A rare cause of chronic diarrhea.

We report a 45-year-old healthy Chinese woman who presented with chronic diarrhea and iron deficiency anemia, with colonoscopy showing multiple ulcers from cecum to sigmoid on a background of dark-purple mucosa. She was initially suspected to be suffering from inflammatory bowel disease, but the peculiar colonic biopsy findings and computed tomography (CT) imaging features, together with her habit of using Chinese herbal supplements, supported the rare diagnosis of idiopathic mesenteric phlebosclerosis.
