Intestinal polyps have been described in association with chronic schistosomiasis, and must be differentiated from malignant tumors and appropriately managed. This uncommon condition may be very rarely detected in people from non-endemic areas of this zoonosis, who were occasionally infected during some travel period. The lesions are more frequently described in men, and predominating in the colon. The diagnosis is confirmed by histopathological evaluations and finding eggs of Schistosoma in biopsy samples. The use of Praziquantel has been a very effective treatment. The authors emphasize the diagnosis confirmation as early as possible, avoiding mistakes with cancer.

Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is an uncommon autosomal dominant disorder that manifests as mucocutaneous pigmentation and hamartomatous polyps in the gastrointestinal system. Pigmentation of the skin and mucous membranes may be present from birth, but it typically appears in early childhood and can sometimes develop later. In addition to an increased lifelong risk of cancers and problems, such as gastrointestinal bleeding from polyposis, hamartomatous polyps can develop in the stomach, small bowel, or colon.

Background: Although substantial evidence supports the advantages of cold snare polypectomy (CSP) in terms of polypectomy efficacy and reduced postoperative adverse events, few studies have examined the cost differences between CSP and traditional endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) for the treatment of intestinal polyps.
Aim: To compare the efficacy-cost of EMR and CSP in the treatment of intestinal polyps.
Methods: A total of 100 patients with intestinal polyps were included in the retrospective data of our hospital from April 2022 to May 2023.
Establishment of a novel mouse model of colorectal cancer by orthotopic transplantation.

Institute for Chemical Reaction Design and Discovery (WPI-ICReDD), Hokkaido University, N21, W10 Kita-Ku, Sapporo, 001-0021, Japan.
Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) represents a major malignancy that poses a significant threat to human health worldwide. The establishment of a reliable and pathologically relevant orthotopic model of CRC is crucial for gaining a deeper understanding of its molecular mechanisms and for developing more effective therapies. Nonetheless, the development of such models is fraught with challenges primarily owing to the technical complexities associated with the transplantation of CRC cells into the intestinal epithelium.

Annu Int Conf IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc
July 2024
This study introduces Polyp-DDPM, a diffusion-based method for generating realistic images of polyps conditioned on masks, aimed at enhancing the segmentation of gastrointestinal (GI) tract polyps. Our approach addresses the challenges of data limitations, high annotation costs, and privacy concerns associated with medical images. By conditioning the diffusion model on segmentation masks-binary masks that represent abnormal areas-Polyp-DDPM outperforms state-of-the-art methods in terms of image quality (achieving a Fréchet Inception Distance (FID) score of 78.
