The efficacy of texture and color enhancement imaging (TXI) observation in the detection of colorectal lesions: a multicenter, randomized controlled trial (deTXIon study)

Colonoscopy is the gold standard for detecting and resecting adenomas and early-stage cancers to reduce colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence and mortality rates. This study aimed to confirm the superiority of texture and color enhancement imaging (TXI) over white light imaging (WLI) in detecting colorectal lesions.

Quantitative CT imaging characteristics of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with different eosinophil levels: a retrospective observational study using linked data from a tertiary hospital in China

Objective
To investigate the relationship between eosinophil (EOS) and CT imaging, we quantitatively evaluated the bronchial wall thickening, emphysema index (EI) and pulmonary vascular parameters in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) based on different EOS levels.

Design
Retrospective observational study.

Setting
A tertiary hospital in China.

Participants
448 patients with COPD from January 2020 to January 2023.

Main outcome measures
Laboratory data, chest CT and pulmonary function based on different EOS levels:

[Review] Use of artificial intelligence with retinal imaging in screening for diabetes-associated complications: systematic review

Our review highlights the potential for the use of AI algorithms applied to retina images, particularly CFP, to screen, predict, or diagnose the various microvascular and macrovascular complications of diabetes. However, we identified few studies with longitudinal data and a paucity of randomized control trials, reflecting a gap between the development of AI algorithms and real-world implementation and translational studies.
