Achalasia cardia is a primary motility disorder of the esophagus marked by the absence of peristalsis and the failure of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) to relax during swallowing.

Background: We developed and assessed the performance of a machine learning model (MLM) to identify, classify, and segment sinonasal masses based on endoscopic appearance.
Methods: A convolutional neural network-based model was constructed from nasal endoscopy images from patients evaluated at an otolaryngology center between 2013 and 2024. Images were classified into four groups: normal endoscopy, nasal polyps, benign, and malignant tumors.

Background: Accurate endoscopic characterization of colorectal lesions is essential to predict histology and select the best treatment strategy but remains very difficult. Instead of the recommended endoscopic characterization, many gastroenterologists routinely perform biopsies of the lesion to propose endoscopic resection with or without R0 intent. The aim of this study was to determine which of endoscopic characterization or biopsies, either targeted (TB) or non-targeted (NTB), is the most effective to determine the best treatment strategy for colorectal neoplasia > 2 cm.
