Article Synopsis
- Early diagnosis of esophageal cancer (EC) is difficult, and the study investigates whether the volume of endoscopic screenings affects detection rates in a large population.
- Analyzing data from over 28 million participants in South Korea between 2015-2019, it was found that more screenings occurred in the last quarter of the year, but EC detection rates were lower during this period compared to earlier months.
- The findings suggest that the high workload on endoscopists towards the end of the year contributes to decreased detection rates of EC, emphasizing the need for better resource management in screening programs.

Article Synopsis
- - The study assessed how quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccines (MenACWY) affected the carriage of meningococcal bacteria in military recruits over a 5-week training period by comparing swab samples taken before and after vaccination.
- - Results showed that overall meningococcal carriage rates slightly decreased from 10.6% to 9.5%, but there was a significant reduction in specific serogroups ACWY, especially serogroup C, which had a vaccine effectiveness of 83.0%.
- - Despite the reductions in certain bacteria, some non-groupable strains increased and hypervirulent serogroup B strains persisted in the population, indicating that while MenACWY is effective, it may
