Diminutive colorectal lesions are polyps and flat lesions 1 to 5 mm in size, and small are 6 to 9 mm in size. The best resection method is the cold snare. Cold forceps are acceptable for 1- to 3-mm lesions, but should not be used to piecemeal polyps. Cold snaring has few complications and is more effective than cold forceps for 4- to 5-mm polyps and as effective and more efficient than hot snaring for 6- to 9-mm polyps.

Survey of the Actual Practices Used for Endoscopic Removal of Colon Polyps in Korea: A Comparison with the Current Guidelines.
Gut Liver
January 2025
Department of Medicine, Samsung Medical Center, Sungkyunkwan University School of Medicine, Seoul, Korea.
Background/aims: We investigated the clinical practice patterns of Korean endoscopists for the endoscopic resection of colorectal polyps.
Methods: From September to November 2021, an online survey was conducted regarding the preferred resection methods for colorectal polyps, and responses were compared with the international guidelines.
Results: Among 246 respondents, those with <4 years, 4-9 years, and ≥10 years of experience in colonoscopy practices accounted for 25.
Surgical explantation of an infected Lotus Edge valve: a case report.
Gen Thorac Cardiovasc Surg Cases
December 2024
Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center, Osaka, 564-8565, Japan.
Background: With the rapid expansion of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), TAVR valve explantation is also increasing. Nevertheless, previous reports on Lotus Edge valve explantation are limited to only two reports, none of which include intraoperative videos. Therefore, we report the case of an older adult who underwent a 2-year-old Lotus Edge valve explantation, after developing prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) and aortic annular abscess, with a strong indication for a TAVR explantation and surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR).

November 2024
The Japan Broncho-esophagological Society, Tokyo, Japan.
Objectives: To investigate the incidence, laryngeal distribution, management, and postoperative clinical course of patients with newly diagnosed adult-onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) in Japan.
Methods: An initial brief questionnaire was sent to 782 institutions, including all 101 core and 627 collaborating institutions providing board certification programs accredited by the Japanese Society of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery. A detailed questionnaire regarding patient age, sex, Derkay's score, surgery, and postoperative clinical course was sent to 196 institutions caring for patients with either newly or previously diagnosed RRP.
Innovative management of peritoneal catheter malfunction caused by omental wrapping: exploration the modified low-temperature plasma ablation blade and .
Ren Fail

Department of Nephrology, 900th Hospital of Joint Logistics Support Force, Fuzhou, Fujian Province, China.
Article Synopsis
- - Omental wrapping is a complication in peritoneal dialysis that leads to catheter malfunction; a study evaluated the use of a Modified Low-Temperature Plasma Ablation (MLTPA) blade to address this issue.
- - The study involved experiments with nine beagles, comparing outcomes between the MLTPA blade and Gastroscopic Biopsy Forceps (GBF), which showed that the MLTPA blade significantly improved catheter function without causing damage.
- - Results indicated a 100% success rate in catheter recanalization using the MLTPA blade and no significant complications, suggesting it is a safe and effective treatment for omental-wrapped catheters.
Viability and diagnostic potential of tissues obtained through cryobiopsy.
Respir Investig
November 2024
Division of Respiratory Medicine and Neurology, Department of Internal Medicine, Asahikawa Medical University Hospital, Hokkaido, 078-8510, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the impact of freezing duration on cell damage during transbronchial lung cryobiopsy, which is used to diagnose lung diseases by providing larger, less crushed tissue samples compared to traditional methods.
- - Jurkat cells were frozen for varying durations (2-6 seconds) and tested for cell viability and marker expression; results indicated that longer freezing resulted in more viable cells, especially those farther from the freezing probe.
- - Cryobiopsy showed promise for accurate diagnoses, yielding over 90% live cells and consistent cytological results in a clinical case involving a patient suspected of malignant lymphoma, suggesting its effectiveness for further lung condition evaluations.
