Article Abstract
Background And Aims: As global life expectancy rises and gastrointestinal tumor incidence increases, more elderly patients are undergoing endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for tumor treatment. The current situation highlights the importance of sarcopenia assessment before ESD. This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to assess sarcopenia's role in predicting post-ESD adverse outcomes in the elderly.
Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the impact of sarcopenia on the prognosis of elderly patients undergoing ESD treatment. A comprehensive search was conducted across three databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science). We were using NEWCASTLE-OTTAWA ASSESSMENT SCALE for risk of bias assessment. The data were synthesized using Review Manager 5.3.
Results: A total of 9 reports were identified, analyzing 7 indicators, with a combined sample size of 6044. Through a series of analyses, we have derived several highly credible research findings: the overall OR and 95% CI for gastric and colorectal post-ESD perforation between sarcopenia and nonsarcopenia groups were 1.34 [0.92, 1.97], for CTCAE grade > 2 was 2.65 [1.45, 4.82], for upper gastrointestinal post-ESD pneumonia were 1.97 [1.30, 2.99], and for gastric post-ESD mortality within 5 years were 2.96 [1.33, 6.58].
Conclusions: Sarcopenia is a risk factor for increased incidence of complications (CTCAE > 2) after undergoing gastric and colorectal ESD, increased pneumonia rates, and higher mortality rates within five years following gastric ESD treatment in elderly patients. However, sarcopenia does not lead to an increased perforation rate in elderly patients undergoing gastric and colorectal ESD treatments. Registration and protocol: The protocol for this study was registered on the Open Science Framework in 2024 https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/7B2CZ . We also conducted pre-registration on PROSPERO (CRD42024532547).

Therapists' Role in Patient Adherence to Internet-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: Qualitative Study.

Background: Internet-based cognitive behavioral therapies (iCBTs) are typically categorized into 2 types: therapist-assisted and self-guided. Both formats have accumulated substantial evidence supporting their cost-effectiveness and efficacy in treating a range of mental health conditions. However, therapist-assisted iCBTs tend to show lower dropout rates than self-guided versions.

Background: Despite the Coronary Artery Reporting and Data System (CAD-RADS) providing a standardized approach, radiologists continue to favor free-text reports. This preference creates significant challenges for data extraction and analysis in longitudinal studies, potentially limiting large-scale research and quality assessment initiatives.
Objective: To evaluate the ability of the generative pre-trained transformer (GPT)-4o model to convert real-world coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) free-text reports into structured data and automatically identify CAD-RADS categories and P categories.

Background: Every year in France, 40% of people aged ≥80 years are hospitalized, with an average length of hospital stay of 25 days and a readmission rate of 14% to 30% within the month following discharge. This situation is putting pressure on the health care system, encouraging the reinforcement of home care to reduce avoidable hospitalization. The EPOCA remote patient monitoring (RPM) system is a medical and social telehealth solution specialized in RPM, teleconsultation, tele-expertise, and care coordination in emergency medicine and geriatrics.

Background: Hospital falls represent a persistent and significant threat to safety within health care systems worldwide, impacting both patient well-being and the occupational health of health care staff. While patient falls are a primary concern, addressing fall risks for all individuals within the health care environment remains a key objective. Caregiver visibility and spatial monitoring are recognized as crucial considerations in mitigating fall-related incidents.

Background: Scrub typhus (ST), also known as tsutsugamushi disease, is a common febrile vector-borne illness in South Korea, transmitted by trombiculid mites infected with Orientia tsutsugamushi, with rodents serving as the main hosts. Although vector-borne diseases like ST require both a One Health approach and a spatiotemporal perspective to fully understand their complex dynamics, previous studies have often lacked integrated analyses that simultaneously address disease dynamics, vectors, and environmental shifts.
Objective: We aimed to explore spatiotemporal trends, high-risk areas, and risk factors of ST by simultaneously incorporating host and environmental information.
