Article Abstract
Aims: Small bowel capsule endoscopy, which has been widely used to evaluate small bowel disease, has a risk of capsule retention (CR). The present systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the accuracy of patency capsule (PC) and cross-sectional imaging (CSI) for predicting CR.
Methods: Databases, including MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science and the Cochrane library, were searched for articles through August 15, 2023, that investigated the diagnostic accuracy of PC or CSI for predicting CR. Pooled sensitivity and specificity were calculated using a bivariate random-effects model. The false-negative rates of PC and CSI were separately analyzed and compared using a single-proportion meta-analysis based on random-effects modeling.
Results: Twenty-three articles (covering 3273 patients) including 17 assessing PC (involving 3051 patients), 4 assessing CSI (involving 140 patients), and 2 assessing both PC and CSI (involving 82 patients) were identified. CSI had a pooled sensitivity and specificity for predicting CR of 54% (95% confidence interval [CI], 21-84%) and 88% (95% CI, 67-97%), respectively, whereas PC had a pooled sensitivity and specificity for predicting CR of 75% (95% CI, 43-92%) and 94% (95% CI, 90-96%), respectively. PC showed a significantly higher specificity (P = 0.05) and lower pooled false-negative rate than CSI (2.7% [95% CI, 1.3-5.4%] vs. 12.8% [95% CI, 6.1-25.0%]; P = 0.001).
Conclusions: PC showed demonstrated comparable sensitivity, significantly higher specificity, and significantly lower false-negative rate than CSI. PC may be a more reliable modality for predicting CR than CSI.

Impact of ambient temperature exposure on miRNA stability in human plasma.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are considered more stable than mRNA, but the impact of progressive thawing of biological samples after freezing as may happen during shipping delays has not been quantified. To address this, we utilized digital PCR to estimate the absolute concentrations of select miRNAs following progressive thawing of human plasma and maintenance at ambient temperature. Specifically, we quantified let-7b-3p, miR-144-5p, miR-150-5p, miR-517a-3p, miR-524-5p, and miR-1283, which have varying abundance in plasma.

Rationale And Objectives: This study systematically evaluates the diagnostic performance of artificial intelligence (AI)-driven and conventional radiomics models in detecting muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) through meta-analytical approaches. Furthermore, it investigates their potential synergistic value with the Vesical Imaging-Reporting and Data System (VI-RADS) and assesses clinical translation prospects.
Methods: This study adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.

Background: Prenatal exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) may adversely impact child neurodevelopment; however, epidemiologic findings remain inconclusive because of small sample sizes, limited exposure variability, and differing neurodevelopmental measures. We aimed to investigate the relationship between prenatal PFAS exposure and child behavior.
Methods: We pooled data from nine study sites in the nationwide Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Cohort.

Background/objectives: Drug-induced intracranial hypertension (DIH) is a rare condition that has been associated with several risk factors, including exposure to certain medications. Herein, we synthesised the literature-pooled quantitative risk of developing DIH with antibiotics use.
Subjects/methods: Medline, Embase, and Cochrane Library were searched (inception to June 2024).
