Background And Study Aims: Diffuse infiltrative gastric cancer can be difficult to diagnose owing to a lack of endoscopic features in the superficial mucosa. Moreover, a forceps biopsy may not reveal a pathological diagnosis. We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic yield and safety of endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and 'open-lid submucosal biopsy', a technique wherein EMR followed by biopsy of the ulcer floor is performed for a pathological diagnosis.

With advances in endoscopic technology and widespread screening of synchronous cancers, the detection of synchronous HNSCC and superficial ESCC (SESCC) is increasing. We aimed to evaluate the impact of preceding HNSCC treatment on synchronous SESCC.

- * Key factors linked to bleeding included the use of antithrombotic agents, the size of the resection wound, and specimen size.
- * Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) were significantly associated with higher bleeding rates, indicating a need for caution in patients on these medications during postoperative recovery.
Article Synopsis
- Tracheal agenesis is a rare congenital condition, particularly type II Floyd tracheal agenesis, which often leads to poor survival rates, but a specific case shows potential for recovery after reconstruction.
- An infant, delivered early due to distress, was diagnosed with tracheal agenesis after unsuccessful intubation; he underwent various surgical procedures and was able to tolerate oral feeding upon discharge.
- Continuous and early detection of respiratory issues is essential, as challenges remain due to the absence of a trachea and complications like tracheal tube displacement, which can lead to serious outcomes.
The Main Problem: Squamous cell carcinoma is the second most prevalent type of non-small cell lung cancer. Analyzing the molecular mechanisms underlying lung carcinoma requires useful tools, such as squamous lung cancer cell lines.
Methods: A novel new lung squamous cell carcinoma cell line, OMUL-1, was developed from the primary lung cancer of a 74-year-old man.
