THE AIM To show histopathological diagnoses after colonoscopic polypectomy in the University Hospital Center (KBC) Split with recommendations on further follow-up colonoscopy depending on the endoscopic and histological findings. PATIENTS AND METHODS The study included 2842 patients who underwent colonoscopy in a two-year period (2008-2009), followed by a detailed analysis of 350 patients in ...

OBJECTIVE To explore the expression change of ER-α36 in endometria of PCOS patients. METHODS Proliferative endometria were collected and divided into three groups: CE group (n=30), proliferative endometria from control women; PCOSE group (n=30), proliferative endometria from PCOS patients; HPCOSE group (n=15), hyperplastic endometria from PCOS patients. The cellular localization of ER-α36 and...

AIM: to estimate the implementation of original method that uses artificial intelligence (AI) detect colorectal neoplasms. MATERIALS AND METHODS: we selected 1070 colonoscopy videos from our archive with 5 types lesions: hyperplastic polyp, serrated adenoma, adenoma low-grade dysplasia, high-grade dysplasia and invasive cancer. Then 9838 informative frames were selected, including 6543 Lesions ...

Background: Colorectal cancer is a heterogeneous disease arising from at least two precursors—the conventional adenoma (CA) and the serrated polyp. We and others have previously shown a relationship between the human gut microbiota and colorectal cancer; however, its relationship to the different early precursors of colorectal cancer is understudied. We tested, for the first time, the relations...

As endoscopists have become more skilled in sampling the gastroesophageal junction, pathologists are being increasingly challenged to characterize previously unknown or neglected findings. One such example is the cardiac polyp. Originally described in the radiology literature as the sentinel fold, the first histologic descriptions of polyps at the gastroesophageal junction did not appear until ...
