AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to find effective ways to identify early large bowel cancer and precancerous lesions using a magnifying endoscope.
- Researchers examined 139 patients, discovering polyps in 124 and advanced cancers in 9, while closely analyzing pit patterns to link them to pathologic diagnoses.
- Results showed that pit patterns observed with the magnifying endoscope correlated well with those seen under a stereomicroscope, indicating that specific pit patterns, particularly Pit V, could signal early cancerous lesions, aiding in early detection of colorectal cancers.
Article Abstract
Objective: To explore the practical means for identifying early large bowel carcinoma and precancerous lesions with magnifying endoscope.
Methods: We examined 139 patients with polyp using colonoscopy and mucosal staining, and observed the pit patterns (proposed by Kudo) with magnifying endoscope and stereomicroscope to identify the relations between the pit patterns and the pathologic diagnosis.
Results: Polyps were identified in 124 patients and advanced cancers in 9. Five laterally spreading tumors (LST) ranging from 10 to 50 mm in diameter, including 1 of pit IIIL, and 4 of pit IV. were found. The findings of the pit patterns by magnifying endoscope were highly consistent with those by stereomicroscope in these patients.
Conclusions: Pit patterns are crucial to distinguish the cancerous lesions form non-cancerous one and helpful for early detection of colorectal cancers. Pit V may serve as warning sign of early cancerous lesions.

Background: The Patient Infotainment Terminal (PIT) plays a pivotal role in Smart Health, enabling hospitals to actively pursue the objective of fostering Shared Decision-Making. By providing General information, Medical information, and Entertainment options, the system fosters effective patient-clinician communication and significantly elevates the standard of care.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate how registered nurses utilized the PIT and prioritized functions based on their perception of importance and satisfaction to find out high-importance but low-satisfaction PIT functions.

Under regional environmental conditions such as open-pit mines and construction sites, there are usually fixed GNSS measurement points. Around these fixed stations, there are also mobile GNSS measurement modules. These mobile measurement modules offer advantages such as low power consumption, low cost, and large data volume.

Introduction: and research question: Prognostic factors to predict the behavior of pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNET) are scarce. PD-L1 expression was associated with prognosis in other neuroendocrine neoplasms and we analyzed PD-L1 expression in PitNET, according to the 2022 WHO classification.

Dust emissions from open-pit mining pose a significant threat to environmental safety and human health. Currently, the range of dust suppressants used in coal mining is limited, often failing to account for their suitability across various stockpiles. This oversight results in poor infiltration after application, leading to insufficient crust formation and reduced durability.

The flat-headed frog, , is a poorly known, riverine species, endemic to the province of Palawan in the Philippines. We applied capture-mark-recapture (CMR) methods to follow individuals at two sites (Malbato and San Rafael) in the island of Busuanga over 10 months in 2022-2023. We used passive internal transponders (PITs) to mark adult and subadults and single-colored visual internal elastomers (VIEs) for cohorts of juveniles.
