Effectiveness of adenosine triphosphate to monitor manual cleaning and disinfection efficacy of flexible endoscopes in Hong Kong

open access: yesJGH Open, 2023
Background and Aim Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) bioluminescence assay is widely adopted in the West to allow rapid evaluation of endoscopes for bacteriologic/biologic residue, but this practice is rarely adopted in Asia.

European Standard Clinical Practice Guideline and EXPeRT Recommendations for the Diagnosis and Management of Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms in Children and Adolescents

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP‐NENs) are extremely rare and clinically heterogeneous. Management has largely been extrapolated from adult practice. This European Standard Clinical Practice Guideline (ESCP), developed by the EXPeRT network in collaboration with adult NEN experts, provides (adult) evidence ...

ARssist: augmented reality on a head-mounted display for the first assistant in robotic surgery

open access: yesHealthcare Technology Letters, 2018
In robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery, the first assistant (FA) is responsible for tasks such as robot docking, passing necessary materials, manipulating hand-held instruments, and helping with trocar planning and placement. The performance of the FA is

An epithelial GPR35 isoform supports tumor‐associated transcriptional and metabolic phenotypes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
GPR35 generates two functionally distinct isoforms with previously unresolved roles. GPR35‐short mediates immune‐cell chemotaxis, while GPR35‐long is enriched in colorectal cancer epithelium, where it supports increased metabolism, proliferation, and tumor‐associated transcriptional programs.

Automatic Registration of Anatomical Structures of Stereo-Endoscopic Point Clouds

open access: yesCurrent Directions in Biomedical Engineering, 2023
In image-guided surgery, imaging systems such as (stereo-)endoscopes allow intra-operative 3D reconstructions in form of point clouds. However, endoscopes provide only a narrow field of view, resulting in a confined point cloud. In this paper, we present

Gastrointestinal endoscope contamination rates – elevators are not only to blame: a systematic review and meta-analysis

open access: yesEndoscopy International Open, 2022
Background and study aims Duodenoscopes that are contaminated due to inadequate reprocessing are well-documented. However, studies have demonstrated poor reprocessing of other kinds of endoscopes as well, including echoendoscopes, gastroscopes, and ...

Loss of proton‐sensing TDAG8 increases tumor progression in mouse models of colon cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Loss of the pH‐sensing receptor TDAG8 accelerates colorectal cancer progression in mice. Animals lacking TDAG8 expression had increased tumor growth, DNA damage, and recruitment of tumor‐associated immune cells, including macrophages, neutrophils, and monocytes.

Weakly supervised segmentation for real-time surgical tool tracking

open access: yesHealthcare Technology Letters, 2019
Surgical tool tracking has a variety of applications in different surgical scenarios. Electromagnetic (EM) tracking can be utilised for tool tracking, but the accuracy is often limited by magnetic interference.

Onasemnogene Abeparvovec in Type I Spinal Muscular Atrophy: 24‐Month Follow‐Up From the Italian Registry

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Onasemnogene abeparvovec (OA) is an AAV9‐based gene therapy for spinal muscular atrophy type I (SMA I). Real‐world outcomes show increased response variability compared to clinical trials, and follow‐up data beyond 12–18 months are limited.
