Background And Aim: Gastrointestinal endoscopy and biopsy-based pathological findings are needed to diagnose early gastric cancer. However, the information of biopsy specimen is limited because of the topical procedure; therefore, pathology doctors sometimes diagnose as gastric indefinite for dysplasia (GIN).
Methods: We compared the accuracy of physician-performed endoscopy (trainee, n = 3; specialists, n = 3), artificial intelligence (AI)-based endoscopy, and/or molecular markers (DNA methylation: BARHL2, MINT31, TET1, miR-148a, miR-124a-3, NKX6-1; mutations: TP53; and microsatellite instability) in diagnosing GIN lesions. We enrolled 24,388 patients who underwent endoscopy, and 71 patients were diagnosed with GIN lesions. Thirty-two cases of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in 71 GIN lesions and 32 endoscopically resected tissues were assessed by endoscopists, AI, and molecular markers to identify benign or malignant lesions.
Results: The board-certified endoscopic physicians group showed the highest accuracy in the receiver operative characteristic curve (area under the curve [AUC]: 0.931), followed by a combination of AI and miR148a DNA methylation (AUC: 0.825), and finally trainee endoscopists (AUC: 0.588).
Conclusion: AI with miR148s DNA methylation-based diagnosis is a potential modality for diagnosing GIN.

Purpose: To determine local OCT structural correlates of deep visual sensitivity defects (threshold of ≤10 decibels on microperimetry) in early atrophic age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Design: Prospective observational study.
Participants: Forty eyes from 40 participants, with at least incomplete retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and outer retinal atrophy (iRORA), or more advanced atrophic lesion(s).

A subset of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) is caused by the high-risk human papilloma virus (HPV), which expresses p16 immunoreactivity. Dual-color immunofluorescence (IF) analysis of TP53 binding protein-1 (53BP1) and a proliferative indicator, Ki-67, to elucidate genomic instability (GIN) in tumor tissues revealed that abnormal 53BP1 expression is closely associated with carcinogenesis in diverse organs. We have previously demonstrated that the number of 53BP1 nuclear foci (NF) in cervical cells increases with cancer progression.

Background: Managing dental caries in primary teeth with pulp involvement is a significant challenge. Clinical guidelines offer recommendations for effective management.
Aim: To identify and analyze policies, guidelines, and recommendations for treating primary teeth with pulp-involved carious lesions, highlighting existing research gaps and setting the foundation for future research.

Background: The pathological results obtained from endoscopic forceps biopsy (EFB) do not always align with the findings of postoperative endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). Furthermore, as ESD becomes more widespread, the number of noncurative endoscopic cases increases; thus, an accurate preoperative diagnosis and an appropriate treatment method are crucial. The purpose of this study was to explore the risk factors for postoperative pathological upgrading and noncurative resection and to gather experience in clinical and pathological diagnosis.

Background/objectives: Actinic keratoses (AK) are premalignant skin lesions caused by chronic sun exposure, topically managed by 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), diclofenac 3% gel, and imiquimod. Despite their effectiveness, long treatment duration and severe adverse local skin reactions have limited patient concordance. Calcipotriol has recently been used as a combination agent for existing topical AK treatments.
