Background And Aims: Data regarding the status of the vertical margin of sessile serrated lesions (SSLs) resected using cold snare polypectomy (CSP) are lacking, and whether a histopathologically positive vertical margin is related to recurrence remains unclear. Therefore, this preliminary study aimed to clarify the rates of positive or unassessable vertical and horizontal margins and the rate of muscularis mucosae resection in SSLs treated using CSP compared with those treated with EMR.
Methods: Histologic outcomes of patients treated with CSP or EMR for SSLs were evaluated in this single-center observational study. The primary outcome was the incidence of histopathologically positive vertical margins in CSP and EMR. Furthermore, the comparisons were adjusted for confounding factors using propensity score matching.
Results: Overall, 82 patients with SSLs were included in the CSP and EMR groups after matching. The incidence of positive histologic vertical margins in the CSP and EMR groups were 67.1% and 2.4%, respectively (P < .001). Regarding the evaluation of the presence of muscularis mucosae, 29.3% and 98.8% of patients in the CSP and EMR groups, respectively, had a complete muscularis mucosae resection (P < .001).
Conclusions: A rigorous histopathologic evaluation revealed that for SSLs, CSP more frequently leads to positive vertical margins than EMR. (Clinical trial registration number: UMIN 000051569.).

Colorectal polyps are commonly treated with surgical procedures, with cold snare polypectomy (CSP) and endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) being the two most prevalent techniques. This meta-analysis (PROSPERO ID: CRD42022336152) aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of CSP and EMR in the management of colorectal polyps. Comprehensive searches were conducted in PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases, covering publications up until June 2024.

Article Synopsis
- - The rise in superficial non-ampullary duodenal epithelial tumors (SNADETs) is linked to advancements in endoscopic imaging techniques and greater awareness of the condition.
- - Endoscopic resection is the primary treatment for SNADETs, utilizing various methods like cold snare polypectomy and underwater EMR, but poses more risks due to unique anatomical challenges in the duodenum.
- - Treatment strategies depend on the tumor size: smaller lesions may be treated with less invasive techniques, while larger or suspected cancerous tumors necessitate more aggressive approaches like endoscopic submucosal dissection or surgical resection.

Article Synopsis
- Exposure to repetitive head impacts (RHI) correlates with chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), which can only be diagnosed after death; the study explores the presence of a cavum septum pellucidum (CSP) in living former football players to understand its relation to RHI and potential CTE.
- The research involved 175 former players, both college and professional, and compared their CSP measurements to a control group without RHI exposure, assessing associations with cumulative head impact and traumatic encephalopathy syndrome (TES).
- Results indicated that former players had significantly higher CSP presence and ratio compared to controls, with professional players exhibiting an even greater ratio; however, there was no notable link between CSP and TES or provisional

Introduction: Cold snare polypectomy (CSP) and underwater endoscopic mucosal resection (UEMR) have been developed recently, in addition to conventional methods, but adverse events of each method have not been fully clarified. We compared the outcomes of each method for the appropriate choice.
Methods: Patients who underwent CSP, endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR)/hot snare polypectomy (HSP), or UEMR for small and intermediate-sized colorectal polyps between April 2017 and June 2020 were retrospectively examined.

Objectives: Cold snare polypectomy (CSP) is widely performed for small colorectal polyps. However, small colorectal polyps sometimes include high-grade adenomas or carcinomas that require endoscopic resection with electrocautery. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a novel resection technique, hot snare polypectomy with low-power pure-cut current (LPPC-HSP) for small colorectal polyps, compared with CSP and conventional endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR).
