Background And Aims: Microsurface patterns of the gastric mucosa can be observed using magnifying narrow-band imaging (M-NBI). However, the efficacy of M-NBI at low-magnification (LM-NBI) screening for detecting small gastric neoplasms is unclear.
Methods: This prospective study was conducted at a single institution. LM-NBI, defined as minimal magnification that could reveal the microsurface pattern of the gastric mucosa, was performed after routine white-light imaging (WLI) observation of the stomach. Depending on the phase in which the neoplastic lesions were initially found, they were divided into the WLI group and the LM-NBI group, and the characteristics of these neoplastic lesions were investigated accordingly.
Results: Sixty-five epithelial lesions (adenomas or noninvasive carcinomas) of 20 mm or less in diameter were identified in this study. Sixteen lesions were detected only with LM-NBI. Smaller lesions were detected using LM-NBI ( = .01). WLI took about 160 to 260 seconds, while LM-NBI required about 70 to 80 seconds. All lesions in the LM-NBI group had a background of map-like redness (n = 5) or atrophic/metaplastic mucosa (n = 11).
Conclusions: LM-NBI was able to detect lesions overlooked by WLI, especially those in areas of map-like redness or atrophic/metaplastic mucosa of the stomach. Approximately one-quarter of newly diagnosed neoplasms were retrieved on routine examination during an extra 1.5 minutes.

Use of Narrow Band Imaging to Guide Endobronchial Biopsy for Suspected Sarcoidosis.

Background: Diagnosis of sarcoidosis often involves endobronchial biopsy (EBB), but studies have shown varying yields for EBB in suspected sarcoidosis, partly due to differences in identifying abnormal mucosa under white light (WL). Narrow band imaging (NBI) may assist in the visualization of abnormal mucosa, but its role in sarcoidosis remains to be characterized.
Methods: Individuals referred for suspected sarcoidosis were considered for enrollment.

Perovskite semiconductors have shown significant promise for photodetection due to their low effective carrier masses and long carrier lifetimes. However, achieving balanced detection across a broad spectrum-from X-rays to infrared-within a single perovskite photodetector presents challenges. These challenges stem from conflicting requirements for different wavelength ranges, such as the narrow bandgap needed for infrared detection and the low dark current necessary for X-ray sensitivity.

Background/objectives: Gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM) is considered an irreversible preneoplastic precursor for gastric adenocarcinoma in adults. However, its significance in children and the long-term outcome remain poorly understood.
Methods: All children diagnosed with GIM between 2000 and 2020 were identified at a large tertiary referral centre.

Narrow band imaging (NBI) magnification endoscopy for the diagnosis of early-stage oral cavity-related cancer and precancerous lesions can recognize oral lesions as brownish areas, and can observe intraepithelial papillary capillary loops (IPCLs) in the mucosa and submucosa to make a qualitative diagnosis of the lesion and highlight the mucosal surface microstructure to facilitate appropriate diagnosis and early treatment. IPCLs are classified from Type 0 to IV: Type 0 is normal mucosa or no blood vessels observed, e.g.
