Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to analyze how general endoscopists' ability to predict the histologic features of small colorectal polyps improved when using a computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) system during real-life colonoscopies in the U.S.
- - Results showed that while both unassisted and CADx-assisted predictions had similar sensitivity (around 90%), the assisted group's specificity was significantly higher, allowing more polyps to be resected or left untreated.
- - Despite the benefits seen in a clinical setting, the study noted that the use of CADx might not yield the same results in other real-world scenarios.
The pathophysiologies of achalasia and gastroesophageal reflux disease with Barrett's esophagus are highly distinct, though the clinical signs and symptoms of both are highly overlapped. The concomitant development of both achalasia and Barrett's esophagus is rare. We describe a case of a patient with a concomitant diagnosis of both pathologies and further explain the epidemiology of carrying both diseases simultaneously.

Methods: We aimed to prospectively evaluate esophageal muscle for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) from patients with rapid-onset achalasia post-COVID-19 and compare them with achalasia predating COVID-19 and achalasia with no COVID-19.
