Aim: To compare high resolution colonoscopy (Olympus Lucera) with a megapixel high resolution system (Pentax HiLine) as an in-service evaluation.
Methods: Polyp detection rates and measures of performance were collected for 269 colonoscopy procedures. Five colonoscopists conducted the study over a three month period, as part of the United Kingdom bowel cancer screening program.
Results: There were no differences in procedure duration (χ² P = 0.98), caecal intubation rates (χ² P = 0.67), or depth of sedation (χ² P = 0.64). Mild discomfort was more common in the Pentax group (χ² P = 0.036). Adenoma detection rate was significantly higher in the Pentax group (χ² test for trend P = 0.01). Most of the extra polyps detected were flat or sessile adenomas.
Conclusion: Megapixel definition colonoscopes improve adenoma detection without compromising other measures of endoscope performance. Increased polyp detection rates may improve future outcomes in bowel cancer screening programs.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) persistence is associated with molecular remodeling that fuels electrical conduction abnormalities in atrial tissue. Previous research revealed DNA damage as a molecular driver of AF.
Objectives: This study sought to explore the diagnostic value of DNA damage in atrial tissue and blood samples as an indicator of the prevalence of electrical conduction abnormalities and stage of AF.

Injuries involving the Atlas (C1) and Axis (C2) vertebrae of the cervical spine present significant clinical challenges due to their complex anatomy and potential for severe neurological impairment. Traditional imaging methods often lack the detailed visualization required for precise surgical planning. This study aimed to develop high-resolution 3D models of the C1 and C2 vertebrae to perform a comprehensive morphometric analysis, identify gender differences, and assess bilateral symmetry to enhance surgical accuracy.

Video frame interpolation (VFI) is a task that generates intermediate frames from two consecutive frames. Previous studies have employed two main approaches to extract the necessary information from both frames: pixel-level synthesis and flow-based methods. However, when synthesizing high-resolution videos using VFI, each approach has its limitations.
