Article Abstract
Aim: To identify the determinants of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) operation time.
Methods: This investigation was conducted as a single-center, prospective study in which ESD was performed by the same endoscopist at the Chinese PLA General Hospital. A total of 173 patients underwent ESD operations performed by Dr. Lu from July 2007 to December 2011, and 183 lesions were enrolled. Patient gender, age, tumor location, gross type, tumor size, pathological type and adhesions were recorded prospectively. The order of treatment represented the experience of the operator. Univariate analysis and multivariate analysis were performed to evaluate the relationships between these factors and ESD procedure time.
Results: Univariate analysis showed the ESD time was closely related to the gender (P = 0.0210), tumor size (P < 0.0001), location (P < 0.0001), gross type (P < 0.0001) and adhesion (P = 0.0010). The surgical proficiency level was associated with ESD time in unit area (P < 0.0001). Multivariate analysis revealed that the ESD time was positively correlated with tumor size (P < 0.0001), adhesion (P < 0.0001) and location (P < 0.0001), but negatively correlated with surgical proficiency level (P = 0.0046).
Conclusion: Large tumor size, adjacency to the cardia, and adhesion are predictors of a long ESD time, whereas high surgical proficiency level predicts a short ESD time.

The efficacy of endoscopic submucosal dissection for 10-20 mm rectal neuroendocrine tumors based on resection margin status.

Background: Current guidelines recommend that rectal neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) smaller than 10 mm can be treated by endoscopic resection, whereas tumors larger than 20 mm should be treated by surgical resection. However, the optimal treatment of 10-20 mm rectal NETs remains controversial. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for 10-20 mm rectal NETs based on resection margin status.

The protocol presented here enables the quantification of microplastics (MPs) as small as ~1 µm in diameter, accurate identification of polymer types, and estimation of particle volume, critically allowing for the calculation of MP mass. Representative results from samples collected in the Great South Bay (GSB), NY, showed that particles within the 1-6 µm equivalent spherical diameter (ESD) range were the most abundant, with approximately 75% of particles measuring less than 5 µm. Notably, the pre-sieving step failed to yield any particles larger than 60 µm, suggesting that large MPs were rare at the coastal sites sampled.

Methods: A systematic search identified 37 studies (11 comparative and 26 single-arm studies) evaluating ARMIs. Outcomes included GERD symptom scores (GERD-Q, GERD-HRQL), DeMeester score, acid exposure time (AET), complete cessation of proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy, and adverse events (AEs).

Colorectal polyps remain a significant health concern because they can develop into cancer. Therefore, accurate assessment and diagnosis of polyps, along with appropriate treatment decisions, are crucial in preventing complications or malignant transformation. Some polyps are classified as complex polyps, which means they fail to elevate due to a scar from a previously removed polyp or can be determined by a scoring system like the size/morphology/site/access score, which considers factors like site, morphology, size, and access.
