Redescription of Lugo-Ortiz & McCafferty (Ephemeroptera, Baetidae), with description of a new subgenus and 20 new species.

Material from the type localities of most described species of and rich material newly collected across New Guinea and on the island Sulawesi form the bases for this comprehensive study of the genus, including the description of a new subgenus Papuafiliola and 20 new species. Species delimitation is based on morphology of larvae and partly also imagos, supported by mitochondrial DNA data (COI) for some of the species. The total number of species is augmented from six to 26.

Concordance Between Trainee Self-Assessment and Expert Assessment of Cold Snare Polypectomy Competence: Results From a Randomized Clinical Study.

Purpose: Many trainees lack competence in performing cold snare polypectomy (CSP), and longer observation periods using assessment tools, such as the Cold Snare Polypectomy Assessment Tool (CSPAT), may be required. However, these tools are not commonly used in busy academic endoscopy practices. This study evaluates the concordance between trainee self-assessment of CSP with expert assessment and assesses factors associated with concordance.

Improving colonoscopy quality in the national VA healthcare system.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) prevention is a Veterans Affairs (VA) priority. Colonoscopy quality, especially adenoma detection rate (ADR), is critical for effective screening. Our research indicates considerable variation in ADR among VA providers.

Simulation-Based Learning as a Strategy to Optimizing Efficiency of Upper Endoscopy and Colonoscopy.

Gastrointestinal diseases impose a significant morbidity, mortality, and health care cost burden, affecting millions annually in the United States alone. Endoscopy plays a crucial role in managing these conditions. Despite technological advancements in endoscopy, ensuring efficient, high-quality care remains challenging.

Prospective study on comparison of simulation-based mastery learning versus conventional apprentice-based learning for basic endoscopy training.

Background And Aim: The simulation-based mastery learning (SBML) method holds promise for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of endoscopy training. However, further study is required to establish its advantages over the traditional method. We aim to prospectively compare outcomes between gastrointestinal endoscopy trainees taught using SBML and those trained using conventional apprenticeship methods for upper endoscopy.
