Background/aim: Currently, there are no standard guidelines for the waiting time from the diagnosis of gastric neoplasms to endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD).
Patients And Methods: A total of 1,605 patients who had undergone ESD for early gastric cancer (EGC) or high-grade dysplasia (HGD) were enrolled. Waiting time for ESD was defined as the time from the first diagnosis to ESD. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was conducted.
Results: The curative resection rate was 86.8% and the mean waiting time was 36.8 days. In the multivariable model, longer waiting time did not significantly affect non-curative resection, whereas age >70 years, submucosal fibrosis, and initial cancer diagnosis were significantly associated with non-curative resection. Waiting time was still not identified as a risk factor for non-curative resection in EGC and HGD groups.
Conclusion: A longer waiting time from diagnosis to ESD was not associated with non-curative resection.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate the potential of online consultation services in a Swiss dermatological clinic as a tool for triage, focusing on time savings, patient satisfaction, and cost-effectiveness.
Methods: Over a period of 30 months, data were generated from a publicly available store-and-forward teledermatological platform (www.derma2go.

Background: Passenger rail drivers' physical behaviors contribute to individual, organizational and community risks. As work tasks are theorized to determine physical behaviors performed during work hours, there is a need to clarify how work tasks determine passenger rail drivers' physical behaviors to inform improved work design.
Aims: The aim of this study was to describe the physical behaviors of passenger train drivers across their work tasks and breaks, and explore what potential influences create variations in physical behaviors within tasks.

Objectives: Patients who reach the terminal phase of renal disease are candidates for kidney transplant. However, the pretransplant process is substantial and requires time-intensive evaluations. We aimed to investigate the factors that affect the timeline for evaluation of kidney transplants and to identify the challenges and recommendations for improvement of the evaluation process in Saudi Arabia.

Patients And Methods: In this multicenter longitudinal study, data from the Spanish Register in AS (AEU-PIEM/2014/0001) were reviewed. The study focused on a cohort of AS patients registered between 2014 and 2019, featuring open inclusion criteria and diverse follow-up strategies.
Results: A total of 3315 AS patients were recruited, with 2881 and 434 categorized into the low and intermediate risk groups based on NCCN grouping at inclusion.

Study Objective: Accurately predicting which Emergency Department (ED) patients are at high risk of leaving without being seen (LWBS) could enable targeted interventions aimed at reducing LWBS rates. Machine Learning (ML) models that dynamically update these risk predictions as patients experience more time waiting were developed and validated, in order to improve the prediction accuracy and correctly identify more patients who LWBS.
Methods: The study was deemed quality improvement by the institutional review board, and collected all patient visits to the ED of a large academic medical campus over 24 months.
