Background And Aims: The adenoma detection rate (ADR) is the most important quality metric for colonoscopy. Numerous factors are known to influence ADR. However, no data on the effect of monitor size on ADR exist. The aim of this study was to compare the ADR and polyp detection rate (PDR) achieved using 2 different-size video monitors (19-inch diagonal and 32-inch diagonal).
Methods: In a single-center, prospective, randomized clinical trial, endoscopists were randomized on a daily basis to perform routine ambulatory colonoscopies with either a 32-inch diagonal or a 19-inch diagonal video monitor.
Results: The study was conducted between October 2013 and April 2014 in an outpatient center of a tertiary referral hospital. Fifteen endoscopists performed 1795 outpatient colonoscopies (mean age, 55 years; 56% women; screening, 56%). There was no substantial difference in baseline patient characteristics between the 2 arms. The overall ADR (27.4% vs 27.9%; P = .80) and PDR (32.8% vs 34.4%; P = .50) were not significantly different between the 32-inch and 19-inch monitor group, respectively. The findings were not significantly altered when stratified by indication, cecal intubation, bowel preparation, operator experience, and time of endoscopy as well as in a multivariable model that included these variables as potential confounders (all P > .05). Overall, the ADR and PDR for each individual endoscopist did not appear to be influenced by monitor size.
Conclusions: The results of this trial do not support the notion that larger video monitors improve ADR. Future efforts to increase ADR should focus on other aspects of colonoscopy. (Clinical trial registration number: NCT01952418.).

Optical techniques, such as functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), contain high potential for the development of non-invasive wearable systems for evaluating cerebral vascular condition in aging, due to their portability and ability to monitor real-time changes in cerebral hemodynamics. In this study, thirty-six healthy adults were measured by single channel fNIRS to explore differences between two age groups using machine learning (ML). The subjects, measured during functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) at Oulu University Hospital, were divided into young (age ≤ 32) and elderly (age ≥ 57) groups.

Artificial fish nests are common tools in fisheries management, providing spawning grounds to enhance the size and diversity of fish populations. This study aimed to explore the effects of deployment locations on the reproductive efficiency and preferences of fish with adhesive and demersal eggs using artificial nests. Floating artificial nests were deployed in three regions (upstream, midstream, and downstream) of a reservoir in Zhejiang, China, at locations with three topographical types: steep slope (reservoir shore, slopes > 60°), gentle slope (reservoir shore, slopes < 30°), and confluence (middle thread of channel).

Microplastics (MPs), defined as plastic particles smaller than 5 mm, have garnered considerable attention owing to their potential biological impact on human health. These particles exhibit a range of physicochemical properties, including size, shape, and surface oxidation. Nile Red is a prominent tool for detecting microplastics, enabling staining for dynamic analyses within biological systems.

H7N9 avian influenza virus (AIV) first emerged in February 2013 in China, and early isolates were all low pathogenic (LP). After circulation for a few years in live poultry markets of China, LP H7N9 AIVs evolved into a highly pathogenic (HP) form in late 2016. Deduced amino acid sequence analysis of hemagglutinin (HA) gene revealed that all HP H7N9 AIVs have obtained four-amino-acid insertion at position 339-342 (H7 numbering), making the cleavage site from a monobasic motif (LP AIVs) to a polybasic form (HP AIVs).
