Background And Aims: Diagnostics to differentiate deep submucosal invasive (invasion depth ≥1000 μm [T1b]) colorectal cancer (CRC) from muscularis propria invasive (T2) CRC are limited. We aimed to establish and validate a scoring system that differentiates T1b from T2.
Methods: A multicenter retrospective cross-validation study was performed. Four hundred sixty-one consecutive pathologically confirmed T1b or T2 CRCs were divided into the development (T1b, 222; T2, 189) and internal validation (T1b, 31; T2, 19) cohorts. Eight potential endoscopic findings were evaluated using the development cohort: loss of lobulation, deep depression, demarcated depressed area, protuberance within the depression, expanding appearance, fold convergency, erosion or white plaque, and Borrmann type 2 or 3 tumor. A scoring system that differentiates T1b from T2 was developed, and diagnostic performance was tested using the internal validation cohort by 8 endoscopists. External validation was conducted using 50 CRC images by 4 endoscopists from other institutions, including outside of Japan.
Results: Multivariate analysis identified the following 5 independent predictive endoscopic findings of T2 CRC: deep depression (odds ratio [OR], 2.08; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.07-4.04), demarcated depressed area (OR, 4.40; 95% CI, 1.39-13.9), 4-fold convergency or more (OR, 3.41; 95% CI, 1.90-6.11), erosion or white plaque (OR, 8.28; 95% CI, 2.77-24.7), and Borrmann type 2 or 3 tumor (OR, 8.76; 95% CI, 3.58-21.5). The area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUROC) was .90 (95% CI, .87-.93) in the development cohort, .80 (95% CI, .76-.85) in the internal validation, and .76 (95% CI, .69-.83) in the external validation.
Conclusions: We established and validated a new scoring system to differentiate T1b from T2 CRC using 5 simple endoscopic findings.

A study to identify individuals at risk to be affected by late-onset Pompe disease who had previously been given a non-specific or tentative diagnosis for their muscle weakness (Pompe PURSUE).

Background: Late-onset Pompe disease (LOPD) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder that results in severe progressive proximal muscle weakness. Over time, reductions in muscle strength result in respiratory failure and a loss of ambulation. Delayed diagnosis of LOPD deprives patients of treatments that can enhance quality of life and potentially slow disease progression.

Introduction: Video feedback, particularly with a head-mounted camera, has previously been described as a useful debriefing tool in well-funded health systems but has never been performed in a low-resource environment. The purpose of this randomized, intervention-controlled study is to evaluate the feasibility of using video feedback with a head-mounted camera during intestinal anastomosis simulation training in a low-resource setting.
Methodology: This study recruited 14 first-year surgery residents in Senegal, who were randomized into control and camera groups.
Assessment of using transfer learning with different classifiers in hypodontia diagnosis.

Background: Hypodontia is the absence of one or more teeth in the primary or permanent dentition during development, and radiographic imaging is the most common method of diagnosis. However, in recent years, artificial intelligence-based decision support systems have been employed to make highly accurate diagnoses. The aim of this study was to classify single premolar agenesis, multiple premolar agenesis, and without tooth agenesis using various artificial intelligence approaches.

Background: miRNAs (microRNAs) are endogenous RNAs with lengths of 18 to 24 nucleotides and play critical roles in gene regulation and disease progression. Although traditional wet-lab experiments provide direct evidence for miRNA-disease associations, they are often time-consuming and complicated to analyze by current bioinformatics tools. In recent years, machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) techniques are powerful tools to analyze large-scale biological data.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) parameters on biochemical failure-free survival (BFS) in patients diagnosed with intermediate-risk prostate cancer and treated with robotic ultrahypofractionated stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) without androgen deprivation therapy (ADT).
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted in patients with intermediate-risk prostate cancer undergoing robotic SBRT delivered in five fractions with a total radiation dose of 35-36.25 Gy.
