Filter by:Laparoscopic adrenalectomy is the treatment of choice for the benign tumor of less than 6 cm. However, this is an ongoing debate that exact cut-off value of tumor size for LA. The aim of this study was to assess whether the size of the adrenal tumor affects preoperative and postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing laparoscopic transperitoneal adrenalectomy as well as to evaluate the learning curve.
Colonoscopy screening is proven to reduce mortality rates for colorectal cancer, which relies on early detection and removal of colonic polyps. AmplifEYE is a FDA-approved device with a row of flexible detection arms attached to the tip of colonoscope which can separate colonic folds during scope withdrawal and is believed to improve polyp detection. Real-life clinical data on this relatively new device is lacking and this study aims to compare the adenoma and polyp detection rates in AmplifEYE-assisted colonoscopy versus standard colonoscopy.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the new colonoscope that provides both a traditional and a retrograde view (bending 180 degrees to look behind itself) of the colon can detect more polyps than a standard colonoscope that only provides a forward-facing view. The investigators wish to effectively demonstrate the utility of the new colonoscope (Pentax Retroview Colonoscope) as the objective of this study is to determine polyp and adenoma detection rates in human subjects undergoing colonoscopy for polyp surveillance.
Modulation of the GIP System in Patients With Acromegaly Due to a Pituitary adenoma
Colonoscopy is the technique of choice for the diagnosis and prevention of colorectal cancer (CRC). The identification and extirpation of adenomas decreases the incidence of CRC by up to 76%. More than 70% of the excised lesions are less than 10 mm. There is controversy about the technique to be used (resection with cold vs hot snare) in lesions of 5-9mm. Both use a polypectomy snare. The cold snare cuts by friction, while the hot snare uses electrical current. We propose a multicenter randomized clinical trial comparing both endoscopic techniques. At least 394 injuries per group will be included, randomizing patients to whom a diagnostic colonoscopy is requested for symptoms, screening or revision protocols. Randomization will be performed stratified by center. The primary objective is the proportion of incomplete polypectomies, which will be analyzed centrally from random biopsies of the edges of the lesion. As secondary objectives, we will compare the proportion of immediate and delayed hemorrhagic complications, the evolution of postprocedural abdominal pain and the factors associated with incomplete excision in each group and the factors associated with a failed cold polypectomy. The analysis of the primary objective will be carried out by means of the z test of homogeneity without using the correction of Yates, estimating the confidence interval of the difference between both groups. The analysis will be carried out by intention to treat and per protocol.
Our group, prior to the present study, developed a handcrafted predictive model based on the extraction of surface patterns (textons) with a diagnostic accuracy of over 90%24. This method was validated in a small dataset containing only high-quality images. Artificial intelligence is expected to improve the accuracy of colorectal polyp optical diagnosis. We propose a hybrid approach combining a Deep learning (DL) system with polyp features indicated by clinicians (HybridAI). A pilot in vivo experiment will carried out.
The investigators are studying the ability of F18 labeled fluorocholine PET to localize parathyroid adenomas in patients with hyperparathyroidism prior to surgery.
Colonoscopy is the gold-standard for the evaluation of the colorectal mucosa. Colonoscopy quality indicators are the adenoma detection rate, the rate of cecal intubation and the bowel preparation. The role of diet in preparing for colonoscopy is not fully established. Currently there is not enough evidence available to choice between 3 days of low residue diet versus 1 day. The research hypothesis is that the low residue diet offers a non-inferior bowel preparation and an improved tolerance.
This study is a prospective randomized study to evaluate the role of NBI for improving complete resection rate of sessile serrated adenoma/polyp (SSA/P). The authors will enroll consecutive patients who underwent colon polypectomy for SSA/P during colonoscopy. The authors will inspect resection margin of SSA/P using white light endosocpy (WLE) or NBI after randomization for the evaluation of remnant lesion. Additional resection will be performed for suspicious of remnant lesion, and then 4 biopsies from 4 quadrants of margin for evaluation of complete resection.
This study is a multicentre randomized parallel group phase IV study comparing the bowel cleansing efficacy, safety and tolerability of PLENVU® (a 1 litre PEG Bowel Cleansing Solution) versus SELG-ESSE® (a 4 litre PEG Bowel Cleansing Solution) using a 2-Day Split Dosing Regimen.
