Article Abstract
Background & Aims: The aim of this study is to evaluate the findings on optical colonoscopy (OC) after a positive CT colonography (CTC) exam and characterize the type of polyps seen on OC but not reported by CTC.
Methods: Over an 18-month period a total of 159 asymptomatic adults had polyps seen on computed tomography colonography examination and subsequently underwent planned therapeutic optical colonoscopy. The colonoscopists were aware of the findings on CT colonography prior to further evaluation of the colon. Characteristics of polyps and adenomas seen on subsequent optical colonoscopy but not seen or reported on CT colonography were examined.
Results: The adenoma miss rate for CT colonography overall was 18.9% (25/132) including 6.2% (4/65) for polyps >9 mm and 18.2% (8/44) for polyps 6-9 mm. Three of the adenomas >9 mm not seen on CTC were sessile, and two were found in patients with technically difficult CT colonography studies due to poor colonic distention. No adenomas with advanced pathology <6 mm were found on optical colonoscopy but not reported on CT colonography. False-positive CTC referral where no polyp was seen on colonoscopy was 5.0%.
Conclusions: CT colonography has adenoma miss rates similar to miss rates historically found with optical colonoscopy, with most missed adenomas being <10 mm and sessile in shape.

Colorectal cancer is one of the most prevalent forms of cancer globally. The most common routine diagnostic methods are the examination of the interior of the colon during colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy, which frequently includes the removal of a biopsy sample. Optical methods, such as Raman spectroscopy (RS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT), can help to improve diagnostics and reduce the number of unnecessary biopsies.

Colonoscopies are vital procedures allowing diagnosis of colorectal cancer and other gastrointestinal diseases. However, excessive forces may be applied to the colon during navigation. This can cause bleeding, especially in patients presenting inflammatory bowel diseases.

Background: Despite adequate treatment, a subgroup of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn`s disease and ulcerative colitis, have persistent gastrointestinal symptoms that are not always related to mucosal damage. Recently, two autoantibodies, anti-CdtB and anti-vinculin, were validated as post-infectious IBS (PI-IBS) markers, however there is limited evidence of its diagnostic role in IBD population.
Methods: Patients with more than 3 bowel movements/day and indication of colonoscopy were enrolled.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the need for an objective method to evaluate and compare different computer-aided detection (CADe) algorithms used in colorectal cancer screening, as their performance varies and no standard exists.
- A modified Delphi approach was employed, where 25 experts generated and prioritized scoring criteria over eight months, ultimately identifying six key metrics, including sensitivity and adenoma detection rate.
- The resulting criteria aim to guide the development and improvement of CADe software, with future research suggested to validate these metrics on benchmark video datasets.

Purpose: To evaluate the presence of congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium in a large family affected by familial adenomatous polyposis and identify the causative mutation in the adenomatous polyposis coli gene. Thus, we aimed to determine the significance of congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium as a phenotypic marker of the disease.
Methods: A family consisting of 95 individuals was evaluated.
