Objective Digital evacuation (DE) is an intervention used to address severe constipation. Literature exists on easily administered laxatives; however, reports on mildly invasive DE usage are limited. This study aimed to elucidate the fundamental data regarding constipation management using a comprehensive national database of DE incidence.

Article Synopsis
  • Postoperative delirium (POD) is a serious complication mainly affecting older patients, leading to various negative outcomes, and early identification of those at risk is crucial for prevention.
  • A study conducted on 86 patients undergoing major oral and maxillofacial surgery between 2016 and 2023 aimed to evaluate the impact of preoperative psychiatric interventions on preventing POD.
  • The results showed that preoperative psychiatric interventions did not significantly reduce the incidence of POD, which was found to be 29.1%, indicating a need for further research on the effectiveness of these interventions.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aims to enhance the detection of non-polypoid colorectal polyps using artificial intelligence (AI) powered by blue laser imaging (BLI) and linked color imaging (LCI), as previous methods with white light imaging (WLI) showed insufficient results and high false positive rates.
  • Researchers developed three AI models finetuned with specific learning sets (LS) composed of various WLI, BLI, and LCI images, and tested their accuracy against videos containing small lesions.
  • Results indicated that the AI using LCI showed the highest sensitivity (83%) and the lowest false positive rate (6.5%) compared to other AI models and human trainees, demonstrating its effectiveness for detecting

Background And Aim: There are no previous studies in which computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) diagnosed colorectal cancer (CRC) subtypes correctly. In this study, we developed an original CAD for the diagnosis of CRC subtypes.

Methods: Pretraining for the CAD based on ResNet was performed using ImageNet and five open histopathological pretraining image datasets (HiPreD) containing 3 million images.

Objectives: Diagnostic ability of sessile serrated lesions (SSL) and SSL with dysplasia (SSLD) using blue laser/light imaging (BLI) has not been well examined. We analyzed the diagnostic accuracy of BLI for SSL and SSLD using several endoscopic findings compared to those of narrow band imaging (NBI).

Materials And Methods: This was a subgroup analysis of prospective studies.
