Retrospective, observational, cross-sectional study of detection of recurrent Barrett's esophagus and dysplasia in post-ablation patients with adjunctive use of wide-area transepithelial sample (WATS-3D).

Background: Barrett's esophagus (BE) and dysplasia are often missed by Seattle protocol biopsies (SPB). Wide-area transepithelial sampling with 3-dimensional computer-assisted analysis (WATS-3D) with SPB improves detection in treatment-naïve patients. We aimed to determine to what extent WATS-3D adds to SPB in the detection of non-dysplastic BE (NDBE) and dysplasia in patients undergoing post-endoscopic eradication therapy (EET).

Development of a Computer-Tailored Intervention/Decision Aid To Increase Colorectal Cancer Screening in Health Systems.

Background Non-compliance with scheduled colonoscopy is common among patients, especially in underserved populations. High no-show and late cancelation rates result in wasted resources, increased costs, and missed opportunities for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening. Among the barriers to colonoscopy is a lack of knowledge about the benefits, fears, and limited time for patient counseling.

Delayed Removal of Entrapped Snare in Colonoscopic Polypectomy.

Snare entrapment is a rare complication of hot snare polypectomy of large colon polyps. We report a case of snare entrapment in our unit and its management. This report highlights the method of delayed removal of snare followed by repeat colonoscopy.
