Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have shown that computer-aided detection (CADe) can significantly improve adenoma detection rates (ADRs). In contrast, implementation studies did not show ADR ...
Background Colon capsule endoscopy (CCE) emerged as a promising alternative for lower gastrointestinal (GI) investigation, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, its adoption remains ...
Background The development of IBD is known to involve early immunological alterations, but our understanding of the changes in antibody epitope repertoires moving from the prediagnostic phase towards ...
Objective The association between baseline pretreatment serum HBV DNA levels and on-treatment hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) risk remains controversial in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). We ...
A high adenoma detection rate (ADR) is vital for effective colorectal cancer (CRC) screening, but evidence suggests limited additional benefit beyond a certain threshold. In a pooled analysis of five ...
Background Recent evidence suggests a role for the microbiome in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) aetiology and progression. Objective To explore the faecal and salivary microbiota as potential ...
