Early diagnosis of this disease is critical for successful treatment and prevention, making the Italian Colorectal Cancer screening program (ICCS) an invaluable resource in the fight against CRC. The ICCS recently conducted a cohort study that found an inverse association between endoscopists' proficiency, as measured by the adenoma detection rate (ADR), and post-colonoscopy colorectal cancer (PCCRC) risk. The study, published in Annals of Internal Medicine, has indicated that targeting low-performing endoscopists with measures to increase ADR could significantly reduce PCCRC risk. Study Summary The ICCS study included more than 49,000 colonoscopies performed between 2004 and 2017 in Italy. The study used a retrospective analysis to evaluate endoscopists' proficiency, as measured by their ADR, and its association with PCCRC risk. Endoscopists with an ADR of 19.0% or greater were considered high performing, while those with an ADR of less than 19.0% were considered low performing. The study found that overall, PCCRC incidence was higher in the low-performing group (0.51%) than the high-performing group (0.33%). After adjusting for other factors, the risk of PCCRC was significantly associated with endoscopists' performance and the difference in risk was consistent across all levels of ADR. Additionally, the study identified that targeting only those endoscopists with the lowest ADR (less than 13.0%) could reduce PCCRC risk by up to 40%. Review of Literature Previous studies have found an association between endoscopists' performance measured by ADR and PCCRC risk. A study conducted in the Netherlands identified that colonoscopies performed by lower-performing endoscopists (ADR<20.0%) were associated with a higher risk of PCCRC than those performed by higher-performing endoscopists (ADR≥20.0%). Similarly, a study conducted in the United Kingdom found that endoscopists with a lower ADR (15.9-19.9%) had a higher risk of PCCRC than those with a higher ADR (20.0-24.9%). These studies, as well as the current ICCS study, suggest that targeting measures to increase ADR among low-performing endoscopists could be an effective way to reduce PCCRC risk. However, there is a need for further research to evaluate the efficacy of different interventions, such as education programs and quality improvement measures, to improve endoscopists' performance. Conclusion The ICCS study is the first to evaluate the association between endoscopists' ADR and PCCRC risk and to suggest that targeting only low-performing endoscopists with measures to increase ADR may significantly reduce PCCRC risk. Previous studies have identified a similar association between ADR and PCCRC risk, but none have been able to suggest a specific and measurable course of action. The findings of this study indicate that targeting low-performing endoscopists with measures to increase their ADR could be an effective way to reduce PCCRC risk. More research is needed to identify and evaluate the efficacy of different interventions that could be used to improve endoscopists' performance.<br />

During the height of the pandemic, a new global study found that most babies born to mothers with COVID-19 were separated after birth, resulting in low breastfeeding and skin-to-skin contact rates. This article will discuss the findings of the study, the impact it has had on mother-baby bonding, and steps that can be taken to ensure safe breastfeeding and skin-to-skin contact for mothers and babies affected by COVID-19. Findings of the Study The study, which was published in The Lancet, surveyed more than 21,000 mothers and babies in 10 different countries. The results showed that mothers with COVID-19 had significantly lower rates of skin-to-skin contact, breastfeeding, and other mother-baby bonding activities than those without the virus. Specifically, 77% of mothers with COVID-19 reported a skin-to-skin contact rate of less than 15 minutes, compared to only 35% of those without the virus. As for breastfeeding, the results showed that 27% of the mothers with COVID-19 had never breastfed their babies, compared to just 8% of those without the virus. Impact of Separation The study indicates that babies born to mothers with COVID-19 are being deprived of the important benefits of breastfeeding and skin-to-skin contact. These types of contact are essential for regulating a baby's temperature, and for establishing a strong emotional bond between mother and child. Furthermore, there is evidence that these activities can help reduce the risk of postpartum depression and anxiety in mothers. In light of this information, it is clear that the separation of babies from their mothers is having a deleterious effect on the early stages of mother-baby bonding. The impact of this separation is likely to be felt far beyond the immediate effects, as babies missing out on early bonding can lead to long-term cognitive and emotional development problems. Safe Breastfeeding and Skin-to-Skin Contact Given the importance of breastfeeding and skin-to-skin contact, it is essential that steps are taken to ensure these activities can continue safely during the pandemic. The first step is to ensure that adequate protective gear is provided for both the mother and the baby. This should include masks, gowns, and gloves for the mother, as well as covering for the baby. The second step is to ensure that the mother and baby are kept as close together as possible when breastfeeding or having skin-to-skin contact. This means that the baby should be kept in a bassinet or crib near the mother, and any breastfeeding should be done with the baby in the mother's arms. The third step is to ensure that the mother and baby are properly monitored during contact. This includes monitoring the baby’s temperature, respiration, and heart rate, as well as regular testing of the baby for COVID-19. Conclusion The findings of the study demonstrate the importance of breastfeeding and skin-to-skin contact for developing a healthy emotional bond between mother and baby. The separation of babies from their mothers due to COVID-19 can have long-term negative effects, and steps must be taken to ensure that these activities can continue in a safe manner. By providing proper protective gear, keeping babies near their mothers, and monitoring mother-baby contact, it is possible to ensure that breastfeeding and skin-to-skin contact can occur safely during the pandemic.<br />

Age de-escalation is a strategy used in vaccine development that starts by testing the safety and efficacy of a vaccine in adult populations before progressively enrolling younger cohorts for study. This approach has been used in the development of various vaccines, including pediatric COVID-19 vaccines, and has been widely accepted by many. Despite its prevalence, an ethical discussion has yet to address the ethics of using an age de-escalation approach. Benefits of Age De-Escalation Age de-escalation strategies offer a number of advantages for the development of vaccines. For one, age de-escalation ensures that any benefits of the vaccine are accessible to all age groups. In the case of pediatric vaccines, age de-escalation strategies offer a way to make sure that the vaccines are safe and effective for young children, who are particularly vulnerable to the effects of illness. Additionally, age de-escalation allows vaccine developers to identify any safety concerns that may be uncovered in younger populations before the vaccine is available to the general public. Ethical Considerations of Age De-Escalation The ethical implications of age de-escalation approaches need to be considered. One of the most significant ethical considerations concerns the risk posed to minors in clinical trials. The risks of enrollment in clinical trials are higher for minors than adults, as minors are more vulnerable to the effects of the vaccine due to their age and physical development. Moreover, minors may not be able to give consent to participate in the trials and may be exposed to unknown risks. Another ethical consideration involves the relationship between the potential benefits of the vaccine and the risks posed to minors. While there are potential benefits to age de-escalation strategies, such as increased safety and efficacy of the vaccine, it is important to understand how these benefits compare to the risks posed to minors in the trials. In considering this balance, it is important to understand the risks posed to minors, the potential benefits of the vaccine, and the likelihood that these benefits will be realized. Conclusion The use of age de-escalation strategies has become increasingly prevalent in recent years, and these approaches have been widely accepted. Despite their prevalence, an ethical discussion has yet to take place to consider the implications of using an age de-escalation approach. It is important to consider the potential benefits and risks posed to minors in clinical trials, as well as the balance between the risks and benefits of the vaccine. Age de-escalation strategies offer a number of advantages for the development of vaccines, and these strategies should continue to be used with a comprehensive understanding of the ethical considerations involved.<br />

Delayed bleeding is a common complication of the procedure, with recent studies indicating that cold snare polypectomy (CSP) may be a safer alternative to traditional polypectomy techniques. A recent randomized controlled trial (RCT) of more than 4,000 participants investigated the effect of CSP on the risk of delayed bleeding after polypectomy. The results of the study were recently published in the Annals of Internal Medicine. Results The study found that CSP significantly reduced the risk of delayed bleeding in comparison to other polypectomy techniques. The risk of delayed bleeding was 4.9% in the CSP group, compared to 9.3% in the control group. This suggests that CSP may be a safer option for the removal of polyps from the colon. Discussion The findings of this RCT provide further evidence for the use of CSP in polypectomy procedures. CSP, when compared to other polypectomy techniques, was found to significantly reduce the risk of delayed bleeding. The results of the study also suggest that CSP may be a safer option for colon polypectomy. These findings are particularly encouraging given the prevalence of delayed bleeding after polypectomy. Previous studies have estimated that delayed bleeding rates following polypectomy may range from 8% to as high as 20%. This highlights the importance of further research into safer polypectomy techniques. Conclusion The results of this RCT demonstrate that CSP may be a safer alternative to traditional polypectomy techniques, with the risk of delayed bleeding being significantly reduced when compared to other approaches. The findings of this study are encouraging and further research is needed to confirm the safety and effectiveness of CSP for the removal of polyps from the colon.<br />

Precision cancer treatment, or ‘targeted therapy’, is a rapidly growing field of research and development that seeks to revolutionise cancer treatment. The use of highly tailored, potent chemotherapies could potentially yield better treatment outcomes with fewer side effects for many types of cancer. Recently a team of researchers at the University of Florida have made a significant discovery in their effort to develop these kinds of treatments for breast and other cancers. Understanding the Technology Behind Precision Cancer Treatment Precision cancer treatment focuses on the targeting of specific molecules and pathways involved in cancer development and progression. By honing in on these specific pathways, researchers can develop chemotherapies that are much more effective at treating cancer, as well as reducing the side effects associated with more generalised methods of treatment. Targeted therapies use three main techniques: genome sequencing, which identifies the genetic alterations that drive cancer; immunotherapies, which enhance the body’s natural ability to combat cancerous cells; and cell-based therapies, which involve the use of antibodies to attack cancer cells. The Recent Discovery at the University of Florida The University of Florida team have developed a novel approach to chemotherapy treatment. Using a combination of genome sequencing and antibody-based therapies, they have succeeded in developing targeted chemotherapies that are highly effective in treating breast and other types of cancer. Their research has identified several of the specific proteins that can be targeted with these chemotherapies, which are both safe and effective. The Potential Benefits of Precision Cancer Treatment The most significant benefit of precision cancer treatments is the potential to improve patient outcomes. By targeting the specific proteins and pathways involved in cancer development and progression, these treatments can be much more effective at treating the disease. Additionally, the use of targeted therapies may help reduce the unpleasant side effects associated with conventional chemotherapies. Furthermore, precision cancer treatments can be tailored to the specific needs of each patient, ensuring a higher rate of success with greater efficacy. Conclusion The potential of precision cancer treatments is clear. The research conducted by the University of Florida team is an important breakthrough in the development of potent, highly targeted chemotherapies for breast and other cancers. Their research has identified specific proteins that can be specifically targeted with chemotherapies that are both safe and effective. With further research, precision cancer treatment has the potential to revolutionise patient outcomes, improving the quality of life for many individuals suffering from cancer.<br />

Perhaps you were so excited about something you were about to do or you heard a really beautiful song. Maybe it was something a little scarier, like a near car accident. Whatever the cause, these temporary palpitation episodes are usually not a cause for major concern. But what is behind these heart ‘glitches’ and why do they happen to us? Are they a sign of something serious going on with our bodies? In this article, we’ll explore the different reasons why you may experience a heart palpitations, along with possible medical causes and when to seek medical help. What Causes Heart Palpitations? Heart palpitations are usually relatively harmless, short-lived episodes of raised or irregular heart beat that usually last only a few seconds or minutes, and are in themselves not usually a cause for concern. Common causes of heart palpitations, known as benign arrhythmias, can come from a variety of sources. These can be caused by stress or anxiety, smoking or drinking alcohol, anemia, stimulants (e.g. caffeine), strenuous exercise, fever, dehydration, hormonal changes, particular foods or herbal supplements, some medications, or even just the normal changes in heart rate due to our body’s circadian rhythms. Medical Causes of Heart Palpitations If heart palpitations occur suddenly and without any recognized triggers, or if they become more frequent and severe, there can be underlying medical causes. These may include conditions such as heart valve problems, mitral valve prolapse, overactive thyroid, anemia, arrhythmia, or even heart attack. In addition, people with family histories of heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or diabetes should be particularly aware of any episodes of heart palpitations. When to Seek Help If your heart palpitations become more regular and severe, or if they become accompanied by shortness of breath or chest pain, it is important to seek medical attention. In addition, if you feel dizzy or faint or notice a sudden drop in your blood pressure, it is important to go to the hospital right away. A doctor can diagnose and treat any underlying medical conditions and help you manage the symptoms. Conclusion Heart palpitations can be caused by a variety of factors and can range from relatively harmless episodes that come and go quickly to more severe, long-lasting palpitations that may require medical attention. To help manage and reduce the frequency of palpitations, it is important to reduce stress, quit smoking, limit alcohol intake, exercise regularly, eat a healthy diet, and make sure you are hydrated. It is also important to seek medical attention if your heart palpitations become more frequent or severe, or if you experience any other worrying symptoms.<br />

An analysis of the contents of the train cars showed that they were carrying a highly toxic chemical, Vinyl Chloride. Vinyl Chloride, or VC, is a solvent used in industries such as the plastics and petrochemical production industries. It is colorless, and has a slightly sweet, ether-like odor. Despite its pleasant smell, however, exposure to this chemical can be detrimental to human health. The most significant consequence of VC exposure is damage to the liver, in particular to the liver cells, or hepatocytes. Through the inhalation of VC, it enters the bloodstream and builds up in the fat tissues. From there, it moves to the liver, where it can cause serious damage. Studies conducted on animals have revealed that exposure to high levels of VC results in damage to the liver, including inflammation, fibrous tissue, and, in severe cases, cancer. In humans, exposure to VC can cause acute liver damage. In addition to the inflammation and fibrous tissue, acute liver damage can also include jaundice, difficulty breathing, and abdominal discomfort. Long-term exposure has been linked to an increased risk of both primary and secondary liver cancer. The best way to prevent exposure to VC is to avoid contact with the chemical. Because of the safety risks posed by VC, it is important that those who work in the petrochemical and plastics industries practice rigorous safety protocols and use proper protective equipment. In addition to avoiding contact with VC, it is important to seek medical attention if any symptoms of VC exposure are detected. These include abdominal pain, jaundice, dark urine, nausea and vomiting. If these symptoms are present, it is important to seek immediate medical attention in order to mitigate any long-term health risks. The train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, serves as an important reminder of the dangers of VC. It is a highly toxic chemical that can wreak havoc on the human liver, resulting in acute liver damage and an increased risk of liver cancer. Despite its pleasant smell, it should be handled with extreme caution and its exposure should be carefully monitored. It is essential that safety protocols are in place to protect workers at risk of exposure, and that those exposed to VC seek prompt medical attention. Vinyl Chloride is a highly hazardous chemical that has been linked to acute liver damage and long-term liver cancer. Despite its pleasant smell, contact with it should be avoided as much as possible, and proper protective equipment should always be worn when handling it. For those exposed to VC, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible in order to reduce the risk of more serious health consequences. With greater public awareness of the risks posed by this chemical and proper safety protocols in place, the East Palestine tragedy could potentially be avoided in the future.<br />

Drawing on the collective expertise of University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University researchers, a neurotechnology has been developed to stimulate the spinal cord, proving to be a revolutionary breakthrough in the treatment of stroke patients. This technology has been reported in Nature Medicine and is set to lead the way in enabling people who were affected by moderate to severe stroke to regain their arm and hand mobility and go about their daily lives more easily. What is stroke and its effect? Stroke is a medical condition caused by an interruption in the blood flow to a certain area of the brain, leading to the death of brain cells in that area. This can lead to paralysis in the body due to temporary or permanent damage to the nerves, leading to loss of muscle control, movement, and coordination. It often affects the ability of a person to grab and hold objects, making daily activities a challenge. How does the neurotechnology work? The neurotechnology developed by University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University is uniquely designed to communicate with the spinal cord. It generates signals that activate the nerves in the spinal cord immediately, leading to enhanced mobility in the limbs that had been affected due to stroke. This device works by stimulating the spinal cord through an array of electrodes that are placed on the skin surface of the affected area. Those electrodes then send signals to specific points of the spinal cord, which activates the nerves and aids in restoring movement. Benefits of the neurotechnology The neurotechnology has the potential to revolutionise the treatment of stroke victims. It immediately improves the mobility of the arm and hand and helps enable patients to perform their daily activities more easily. It can also aid in the regaining of motor skills that have been lost due to stroke. Comparatively, existing treatments for stroke require months of physical therapy and rehabilitation before the patient can regain their motor functions and mobility of the affected limbs. This technology can help in reducing the time taken for recovery and enable the patient to regain their movement more quickly. Conclusion The development of this neurotechnology by researchers of University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University to help regain arm and hand mobility is truly a breakthrough in the medical world. It has the potential to revolutionise the treatment of stroke patients and enable them to quickly regain lost motor control and movement. This technology is a major step towards the betterment of lives of those affected by stroke.<br />

Whether societies are ruled by ruthless dictators or more well-meaning representatives, they fall apart in time, with different degrees of severity. In a new paper, anthropologists examined a broad, global sample of 30 pre-modern societies. They found that when "good" governments—ones that provided goods and services for their people and did not starkly concentrate wealth and power—fell apart, they broke down more intensely than collapsing despotic regimes. And the researchers found a common thread in the collapse of good governments: leaders who undermined and broke from upholding core societal principles, morals, and ideals.<img src="//feeds.feedburner.com/~r/physorg-rss/~4/XVWe3SqH2bU" height="1" width="1" alt="" />

Instead, scientists look to the diets of extinct animals, which lock evidence of the vegetation they ate into their teeth. A new study led by scientists at the American Museum of Natural History finds that the paradigm used to identify closed-canopy rainforests through dietary signatures needs to be reassessed. The findings are published this week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.<img src="//feeds.feedburner.com/~r/physorg-rss/~4/uwsVn7URY1U" height="1" width="1" alt="" />

Nevertheless, evidence-based programs known to reverse the negative effects of poverty are being widely neglected, according to a new report in Health Affairs. Such programs include basic income supports, other family supports, and universal health care structured to meet family needs. A combination of these interventions could substantially reduce the risks children face from poverty and early adversity, say the authors.<img src="//feeds.feedburner.com/~r/medicalxpress-rss/~4/EsZx0ql67dA" height="1" width="1" alt="" />

Combat trauma represents 0.5 percent of the 1 million annual military health system hospital admissions, presenting a challenge for military surgical teams to remain combat ready. Previous research has established the many benefits of military-civilian partnerships for training military surgeons prior to deployment and retaining critical skills during deployment. However, there exists a lack of data about the readiness and case volumes of other members of Army Forward Resuscitative Surgical Teams (FRSTs). Researchers who studied clinical practice patterns in non-physician members of Army FRSTs, particularly comparing the experience of active duty and Army reservist team members, presented their findings during the virtual American College of Surgeons (ACS) Clinical Congress 2020.<img src="//feeds.feedburner.com/~r/medicalxpress-rss/~4/6KGAjPUvpkU" height="1" width="1" alt="" />
