Article Synopsis
- The study aims to enhance colorectal cancer (CRC) screening by focusing on interval cancers that arise from fecal immunochemical test (FIT)-negative cases, particularly advanced neoplasms (AN) and sessile serrated lesions (SSL).
- Asymptomatic adults in their 50s were divided into FIT-negative and TCS-only groups to compare clinical features of AN and SSL; results showed no significant difference in polyp prevalence between the groups but identified risk factors like aging, smoking, and family history for AN.
- The conclusion suggests that FIT screening may miss CRC and specific precancerous lesions, particularly in the right colon, and recommends annual FIT combined with total colonoscopy (TCS

Background: In amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), motor neurons in the brainstem markedly deplete, whereas sensory neurons are less severely affected.
Purpose: To determine whether facial nerve (FN) measurement on 3D fast imaging employing steady-state acquisition (FIESTA) is useful for ALS diagnosis.
Study Type: Retrospective.
Objective: The aim of this study was to confirm determinative factors for plasma A and its association with cognitive function.
Methods: Fasting plasma A40 and A42 levels were measured by ELISA in 1019 participants in the Iwaki Health Promotion Project. The relationships between plasma A and health-related items, including physical characteristics, cognitive function tests, blood chemistry, and genotype were analyzed.
The regulation of uterine and peripheral blood natural killer (NK) cells has been associated with problems related to reproductive immunology such as recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), implantation failure or preeclampsia. NKp46, one of the natural cytotoxicity receptors (NCRs), is a unique marker that functions in NK cell cytotoxicity and cytokine production. Expression of NKp46 on NK cells is lower in women with recurrent pregnancy loss and pregnancy-induced hypertension.

Unlabelled: ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome includes Cushing's disease and ectopic ACTH syndrome (EAS). The differential diagnosis of Cushing's disease from EAS in cases of ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome is a challenging problem. We report here a case of EAS with an unknown source of ACTH secretion.
