Implicating genes, pleiotropy, and sexual dimorphism at blood lipid loci through multi-ancestry meta-analysis
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Genome Biology, Vol 23, Iss 1, Pp 1-42 (2022)
Abstract: Abstract Background Genetic variants within nearly 1000 loci are known to contribute to modulation of blood lipid levels. However, the biological pathways underlying these associations are frequently unknown, limiting understanding of these findings an...
ROP39 is an Irgb10-specific parasite effector that modulates acute Toxoplasma gondii virulence.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): PLoS Pathogens, Vol 19, Iss 1, p e1011003 (2023)
Abstract: Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) is a zoonotic apicomplexan parasite that is an important cause of clinical disability in humans. On a global scale, one third of the human population is infected with T. gondii. Mice and other small rodents are believed to...
Feasibility of progressive polyp contraction with underwater endoscopic mucosal resection in ≥ 20 mm superficial colorectal lesions
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Endoscopy International Open, Vol 10, Iss 12, Pp E1577-E1582 (2022)
Abstract: Background and study aims Underwater endoscopic mucosal resection (UEMR) does not always result in en bloc resection of large colorectal lesions. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility of en bloc resection with progressive polyp contr...
Endoscopic treatment of intussusception due to small intestine polyps in patients with Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Endoscopy International Open, Vol 10, Iss 12, Pp E1583-E1588 (2022)
Abstract: Background and study aims Intussusception caused by intestinal polyps in patients with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome usually requires laparotomy. Patients following successful endoscopic reduction using double-balloon endoscopy (DBE) have been reported. The a...
Gel stored at low temperature maintains high viscosity even when injected via the water jet channel
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Endoscopy International Open, Vol 10, Iss 09, Pp E1172-E1173 (2022)
Effectiveness and safety of endoscopic submucosal dissection using the pocket creation method in the Japanese population: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Endoscopy International Open, Vol 10, Iss 05, Pp E694-E702 (2022)
Abstract: Background and study aims Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a standard method for minimally invasive resection of superficial gastrointestinal tumors. The pocket creation method (PCM) facilitates ESD regardless of location in the gastrointestin...
Improved detection of early gastric cancer with linked color imaging using an ultrathin endoscope: a video-based analysis
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Endoscopy International Open, Vol 10, Iss 05, Pp E644-E652 (2022)
Abstract: Background and study aims Ultrathin endoscopy causes a minimal gag reflex and has minimal effects on cardiopulmonary function. Linked color imaging (LCI) is useful for detection of malignancies in the digestive tract. The aim of this study was to clari...
Factors contributing to changes in viscosity and flow rate of a dedicated gel for gel immersion endoscopy
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Endoscopy International Open, Vol 10, Iss 05, Pp E703-E706 (2022)
Abstract: Background and study aims Gel immersion endoscopy is a novel technique for securing the visual field during endoscopy. Clinical application of a dedicated gel for this technique with an appropriate viscosity to prevent mixing with blood and its efficac...
Underwater Endoscopic Mucosal Resection of Small Rectal Neuroendocrine Tumors
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Frontiers in Medicine, Vol 9 (2022)
Abstract: Background and Study AimsThe resection strategy for rectal neuroendocrine tumors (NET) < 10 mm is not uniform. We compared the utility of underwater endoscopic mucosal resection (UEMR) to endoscopic submucosal resection with a ligation device (ESMR-L) ...
Low prevalence of SARS‐CoV‐2 specific antibodies among endoscopists and their assistants in a university hospital in Tochigi prefecture–A single‐center study
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): DEN Open, Vol 2, Iss 1, Pp n/a-n/a (2022)
Abstract: Abstract Objectives Gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures have a risk to transmit severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) through aerosols. Little information is available on the seroprevalence of SARS‐CoV‐2 antibodies among healt...
