Unlabelled: BACKGROUND. Colorectal cancer (CRC) can be prevented. Colonoscopy is the first-line procedure for screening in average risk population. In 2002, Imperiale evaluated people between 40 to 49 years and reported that adenomas and advanced adenomas presented in 8.5% and 3.5% of cases, respectively. Currently, no recommendations for CRC screening in this population have been made.
Objective: To estimate the prevalence ofpolyps, adenomas, advanced lesions and adenocarcinomas in the 45- to 49-year-old population.
Methods: We included consecutive adults between 45 and 49 years old who performed colonoscopy because of gastrointestinal signs or symptoms. Exclusion criteria were high risk for CRC, incomplete VCC and/or previous evidence of colonic lesions. The study was conducted in a gastroenterology center from Buenos Aires, between September 2010 and October 2011. The design was prospective and cross-sectional. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) lavage solution or phosphates were usedfor cleansing. Colonoscopies were performed under sedation with Olympus equipment. The protocol was approved by the local IRB. 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were estimated.
Results: 814 patients were evaluated and 764 were included, 440 (57%) were women and the average age was 47 years. The global prevalence of polyps was 20% (160 cases, 95% CI 18%-24%). The global prevalence of adenomas was 14% (107 cases, 95% CI 11%-16%). The prevalence of advanced adenomas was 5% (39 cases, 95% CI 4%-7%) and the prevalence of adenocarcinoma was 0.1% (1 case, 95% CI 0%-0.7%).
Conclusions: The prevalence of lesions in this population is lower than that in the average risk population. At the moment we do understand that there is no evidence to recommend CRC screening in 45- to 49-year-old individuals.

Differentiating Cystic Lesions in the Sellar Region of the Brain Using Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for Early Diagnosis: A Prospective Review of the Novel Diagnostic Modalities.

This paper investigates the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to enhance the differentiation of cystic lesions in the sellar region, such as pituitary adenomas, Rathke cleft cysts (RCCs) and craniopharyngiomas (CP), through the use of advanced neuroimaging techniques, particularly magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The goal is to explore how AI-driven models, including convolutional neural networks (CNNs), deep learning, and ensemble methods, can overcome the limitations of traditional diagnostic approaches, providing more accurate and early differentiation of these lesions. The review incorporates findings from critical studies, such as using the Open Access Series of Imaging Studies (OASIS) dataset (Kaggle, San Francisco, USA) for MRI-based brain research, highlighting the significance of statistical rigor and automated segmentation in developing reliable AI models.

We assessed the diagnostic performance of the Narrow-Band Imaging (NBI) International Colorectal Endoscopic Classification (NICE) and the Japan NBI Expert Team classification (JNET) in predicting histological outcomes of advanced colorectal lesions. Additionally, we evaluated the sensitivity and positive predictive value (PPV) of the JNET and NICE classifications individually for high-grade lesions (including HGD adenomas, intramucosal carcinomas, and T1 carcinomas). This was a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data, involving 211 patients (130 men, mean age 60 years) who underwent colonoscopy with endoscopic resection of advanced colorectal neoplasia (lesions ≥ 10 mm).

Aims: WNT signalling pathway dysregulation is often a critical early component in colorectal neoplasia, particularly the chromosomal instability pathway. Using two WNT reporters, and , we sought to assess whether these polyps demonstrate predictable expression patterns and if these patterns show diagnostic value.
Methods: We evaluated 23 adenomas (TA), 23 sessile serrated lesions (SSLs), 14 SSL with dysplasia and 38 traditional serrated adenomas (TSA).

RNF7 (Ring Finger Protein 7) is a key component of CRLs (Cullin-RING-type E3 ubiquitin ligases) and has been found to possess intrinsic anti-ROS capabilities. Aberrant expression of RNF7 has been observed in various tumor types and is known to significantly influence tumor initiation and progression. However, the specific role of RNF7 in glioblastoma remains unclear.

Several extra-colonic manifestations, including duodenal polyposis and desmoid tumors, are well-described manifestations in familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). More recently, an increase in gastric cancer diagnoses has been observed in FAP. This case series presents nine patients with FAP who were diagnosed with gastric cancer at our FAP expertise center, of whom eight were diagnosed between 2017 and 2023, while before 2017 the only diagnosis of gastric cancer was in 2001.
