Objectives: To compare the efficacy and safety of sedation with midazolam and remimazolam for colorectal endoscopy.
Methods: This single-center, two-arm, post-hoc analysis of the REM-IICTJP01 study investigated the efficacy and safety of remimazolam for gastrointestinal endoscopic sedation. We enrolled 40 and 208 patients who underwent colonoscopy under remimazolam and midazolam sedation, respectively, during the same period.
Objective: A newly launched endoscopy system (EVIS X1, CV-1500; Olympus) is equipped with texture and color enhancement imaging (TXI). We aimed to investigate the efficacy of TXI for the visibility and diagnostic accuracy of non-polypoid colorectal lesions.
Methods: We examined 100 non-polypoid lesions in 42 patients from the same position, angle, and distance of the view in three modes: white light imaging (WLI), narrow-band imaging (NBI), and TXI.

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).

Article Synopsis
- The development of multiple squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) in the upper aerodigestive tract is linked to field cancerization, heavily influenced by alcohol consumption and cigarette smoking.
- The Japan Esophageal Cohort study found a significant association between esophageal SCC, head and neck SCC, and genetic factors related to alcohol metabolism, as well as other health risks and precursors like Lugol-voiding lesions.
- Reducing alcohol intake and quitting smoking are strongly advised to lower the risk of further esophageal SCC after treatment, emphasizing lifestyle changes as crucial for prevention and early detection.
Article Synopsis
- * A questionnaire was sent to 16 high-volume Japanese centers to gather information on their initial treatment strategies for EC-ESCC and their approaches to preventing strictures after ESD.
- * Results showed that ESD is being performed more widely than the current guidelines suggest, particularly for larger lesions, highlighting the need for further research into the effectiveness of these expanded treatment indications.
Objectives: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has become popular, but complications such as postoperative bleeding remain an issue. Although some methods of closing a mucosal defect with a snare and clips have been reported to be effective and safe, the snare is not a dedicated device, and the procedure is difficult and time-consuming. We aimed to find an alternative method for defect closure after ESD by developing a dedicated device.
