Prevention of late complications after large endoscopic resection is inefficient with current methods. Endoscopic shielding, as a simple and safe technique, has been proposed to improve the incidence of these events. Different methods, sheets or hydrogels, have showed proven efficacy in the prevention of late bleeding and perforation, as well as the improvement of tissue repair, in experimental models and in clinical practice.

Evaluation of intestinal biopsy tissue preservation methods to facilitate large-scale mucosal microbiota research.
EBioMedicine
December 2024

Article Synopsis
- Large-scale studies are essential to investigate the gut microbiota's complex relationships with health and disease, and tissue preservation methods need evaluation for feasibility in such research.
- Biopsies from 20 adults with inflammatory bowel disease were preserved using three methods: flash freezing, nucleic acid preservative reagents, and formalin fixation with paraffin embedding (FFPE), with microbiota analyzed using sequencing.
- Results showed that while preservative reagents can serve as viable alternatives to flash freezing, FFPE samples exhibited distinct community structures, highlighting the potential utility of historical samples despite differences in microbial profiles.
The impact of a multidisciplinary team approach on the management of patients diagnosed with complex colorectal polyps.

North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust, Stockton-on-Tees, UK.
Article Synopsis
- * Over a two-year period, 229 cases were analyzed, with most polyps treated endoscopically, a 14% surgical intervention rate, and a low rate of complications; only one case of perforation was reported.
- * The management approach met the performance standards despite challenges from the COVID pandemic, indicating that a multidisciplinary team effectively addresses LNPCP treatment while ensuring patient safety.
Projected Impact and Cost-Effectiveness of Novel Molecular Blood-Based or Stool-Based Screening Tests for Colorectal Cancer.
Ann Intern Med
December 2024
Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Oregon Health and Sciences University, Portland, Oregon (D.L.).
Background: Cell-free DNA blood tests (cf-bDNA) and next-generation stool tests could change colorectal cancer (CRC) screening.
Objective: To estimate the clinical and economic impacts of novel CRC screening tests.
Design: Cost-effectiveness analysis using MOSAIC (Model of Screening and Surveillance for Colorectal Cancer).
Structural design and biomechanical analysis of a combined titanium and polyetheretherketone cage based on PE-PLIF fusion.
Med Biol Eng Comput
October 2024
Shanxi Bethune Hospital, Shanxi Academy of Medical Sciences, Tongji Shanxi Hospital, Third Hospital of Shanxi Medical University, Taiyuan, 030032, China.
Article Synopsis
- The study explores the biomechanical performance of a newly designed spinal fusion cage compared to traditional titanium and PEEK cages, highlighting the drawbacks of stress shielding and poor bone ingrowth associated with the former materials.
- Using finite element analysis, the new combined cage showed a 9.5% increase in strain capacity and reduced endplate and fusion stresses by 12% and 17%, respectively, during dynamic movements.
- The findings indicate that the combined cage may improve fusion stability and reduce adverse effects tied to titanium cages, offering insights for better clinical cage designs in spinal fusion surgeries.
Treatment of oesophageal perforation with through-the-scope clips post-high-power short-duration atrial fibrillation ablation: case report.
Eur Heart J Case Rep

Electrophysiology Department, Heart Center, University of Leipzig, Strümpellstraße 39, 04289 Leipzig, Germany.
Article Synopsis
- Atrio-oesophageal fistula is a rare but serious complication that can occur after catheter ablation, prompting the need for alternative, less invasive treatment methods for covered oesophageal perforations.
- A 66-year-old man experienced thermal damage during a catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation, leading to a covered perforation that was managed with endoscopic clips, resulting in successful healing without invasive surgery.
- The case emphasizes the value of timely diagnosis and treatment, advocating for less invasive approaches to support tissue repair while ensuring careful monitoring to rule out other cardiac complications.
