The Japanese Esophageal Society classification for prediction of superficial esophageal squamous cell neoplasia invasion depth: Validation in a Western population.
United European Gastroenterol J
October 2024
Article Synopsis
- - The JES microvessel classification was proposed for evaluating early esophageal squamous cell neoplasia (ESCN) based on the assessment of intrapapillary capillary loops, aiming to determine eligibility for endoscopic resection in Western patients.
- - A study analyzed 113 Western ESCN lesions with assessments from nine endoscopists of different experience levels, revealing good interobserver agreement among experts but only moderate agreement among residents-in-training.
- - The overall accuracy of the classification was found to be low, especially among Western endoscopists and trainees, with highlighted limitations in effectively predicting invasion depth, though experienced endoscopists showed some success in identifying superficial layers without B3 vessels.
Introduction: The aim of this registry-based cohort study was to evaluate the potential role of endoscopic esophageal surveillance for esophageal second primary tumors (ESPTs) in Western patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).
Methods: Outcomes were cumulative incidence and risk factors for ESPTs and its effect on overall survival.
Results: A total of 47 ESPTs were observed in 1,708 patients with HNSCC, with 10-year cumulative incidence (95% confidence interval) of 2.
A randomised controlled trial of vaporised Δ-tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol alone and in combination in frequent and infrequent cannabis users: acute intoxication effects.
Eur Arch Psychiatry Clin Neurosci
February 2019
Access to cannabis and cannabinoid products is increasing worldwide for recreational and medicinal use. Two primary compounds within cannabis plant matter, Δ-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), are both psychoactive, but only THC is considered intoxicating. There is significant interest in potential therapeutic properties of these cannabinoids and of CBD in particular.

Accumulating evidence suggests an association between childhood SES and adult inflammation, but findings have been inconsistent.
Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies to quantify the association between childhood (age <18 years) SES and the inflammatory marker C reactive protein (CRP) in adulthood.
Background: Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), an ultrasonographic marker of cardiovascular risk, is increasingly used in adults and children. The choice of specific images used to quantify CIMT from a cine sequence is often based on image quality rather than on a consistent point in the cardiac cycle. This methodological study quantified the imprecision that may be introduced by variation of CIMT during the cardiac cycle.
