Mashup Score: 2
Barrett’s esophagus (BE) is a premalignant precursor to esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), a cancer whose incidence has increased sixfold in the Western world over the past 3 decades. The prognosis associated with EAC remains poor, with the 5-year survival estimated to be < 20%. Epidemiological and clinical study evidence has suggested that early detection and treatment of BE-related neoplasia is...

Artificial intelligence (AI) can aid endoscopic and surgical procedures in various ways, such as detecting and diagnosing gastrointestinal lesions, assisting in procedures, recognizing dissection planes, and predicting adverse events. 3D imaging has also improved the visual and technical aspects of endoscopic and surgical procedures by improving depth recognition. Robotic endoscopy involves…

The standard of care for treatment of patients with acute cholecystitis is cholecystectomy. However, many patients are unfit for surgery due to substantial medical comorbidities or surgery is technically challenging due to anatomic considerations. Options for patients who are not surgical candidates include percutaneous cholecystostomy tube placement by interventional radiology, endoscopic…

The past four decades have seen an increase in the incidence of early-onset gastrointestinal cancer. Because early-stage cancer detection is vital to reduce mortality rate, mass screening colonoscopy provides the most effective prevention strategy. However, conventional endoscopy is a painful and technically challenging procedure that requires sedation and experienced endoscopists to be…

Mashup Score: 0Combined Endoscopic-Percutaneous Rendezvous for Biliary Continuity for Restoration of Completely Transected Common Bile Duct - 1 year(s) ago
Bile duct injuries (BDIs) remain a serious complication after open or laparoscopic cholecystectomy.1,2 A partial BDI can usually be managed by a combination of percutaneous and/or endoscopic techniques; however, managing a complete transection is particularly challenging.3-6 Stent placement is difficult in most cases because of the misalignment of the transected ends. Complete transection of the…

Mitigating colorectal cancer (CRC) risk is a pillar in caring for patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Over the last decade there have been significant advances in understanding the natural history of colitis-associated dysplasia (CAD) and its management. The identification of patient and disease-specific risk factors has enabled a tailored approach for initiating colonoscopy screening…

Mashup Score: 0Reporting of Adenoma Detection by Segment: A Proposed New Quality Metric for Colonoscopy - 1 year(s) ago
The adenoma detection rate (ADR), is a key quality metric for colonoscopy, but it might fail to measure differences in adenoma detection in different parts of the colon. Because many post-colonoscopy cancers arise in the proximal colon, differences in the ADR of proximal vs distal adenomas could be clinically important. Our aim was to determine the feasibility of measuring ADR for both the…

Though stool-based organized CRC screening programs increase screening rates and reduce CRC mortality, there remain barriers to adoption and challenges to successful implementation. Health policies, incentives, and data fragmentation influence adoption of organized screening programs. Organized outreach programs can uniformly deliver FIT to nearly all health system members who are due and…

Mashup Score: 0Endoscopists' Written Communication After Surveillance Colonoscopy in Older Adults Is Often Unclear - 1 year(s) ago
Current guidelines recommend that the decision to pursue surveillance colonoscopy in older adults with polyps be individualized, yet how these recommendations are communicated has not been characterized. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of endoscopist recommendations after colonoscopy in communicating the need for future surveillance in older adults.
