Mashup Score: 5
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 performed. To overcome the current limitations, technological innovation is needed in colonoscopy. In recent years, researchers worldwide have worked to enhance the diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities of endoscopes.

Mashup Score: 1AGA opposes holding GLP-1 agonists for endoscopy without ‘high-level published evidence’ - 4 month(s) ago
Updated AGA clinical practice guidelines reiterated the society’s stance that there is little data to support the recommendation that all patients should stop glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists prior to elective endoscopy procedures. This guidance “was necessary to provide clinical perspective” for the consensus-based perioperative guidance from the American Society of

Mashup Score: 9Low body mass index (LBMI) and risk of endoscopy related adverse events - A US cohort propensity-score matched study - 4 month(s) ago
Patients with low body mass index (LBMI) are often encountered in routine outpatient gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy practice, and the assessment of procedure related risks in this subset of individuals remains paramount. While the risk of endoscopy related adverse events (AEs) has been reported in patients with obesity, the association between LBMI and AEs has not been established.

Mashup Score: 4Treatment of adenoma recurrence after endoscopic mucosal resection - 6 month(s) ago
Objective Residual or recurrent adenoma (RRA) after endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) of large non-pedunculated colorectal polyps (LNPCPs) of ≥20 mm is a major limitation. Data on outcomes of the endoscopic treatment of recurrence are scarce, and no evidence-based standard exists. We investigated the efficacy of endoscopic retreatment over time in a large prospective cohort. Design Over 139 months, detailed morphological and histological data on consecutive RRA detected after EMR for single LNPCPs at one tertiary endoscopy centre were prospectively recorded during structured surveillance colonoscopy. Endoscopic retreatment was performed on cases with evidence of RRA and was performed predominantly using hot snare resection, cold avulsion forceps with adjuvant snare tip soft coagulation or a combination of the two. Results 213 (14.6%) patients had RRA (168 (78.9%) at first surveillance and 45 (21.1%) thereafter). RRA was commonly 2.5–5.0 mm (48.0%) and unifocal (78.7%). Of 202 (94.8%)

Mashup Score: 5Integrating artificial intelligence into endoscopy training: opportunities, challenges, and strategies - 6 month(s) ago
Artificial intelligence (AI) technology has rapidly been deployed in endoscopy and has the potential to revolutionise endoscopic training and education.1,2 How AI is integrated into endoscopy training programmes to optimise learning outcomes and address challenges, such as the requirement for competency-based assessment, should be carefully considered.1 In this Comment, we explore the positive and negative effects of AI on endoscopy training, strategies for integration, and considerations for trainers in endoscopy.
