Exhaled Volatile Organic Compounds in Patients with Colonic Polyps
Background: Exhaled Volatile Organic Compounds (E-VOCs) may help to early detection of colonic polyps
Objective: Assess whether a new ambulatory device is able to detect specific E-VOCs in patients recently diagnosed with colonic polyps.
Material and Methods: All data were collected during routine consultations for Small Intestinal Bowel Overgrowth. A breath test was performed by X-PID 9500®.
Results: 203 patients older than 45 years of age were included. 31patients (15.3%) reported colonic polyps. 74 patients presented with gastroduodenal or jejunal (GDJ) liquid at ultrasound examination despite fasting.
96 patients (47.3%) exhaled numerous E-VOCs with a retention time between 12 to 45s (E-VOCs 12 to 45s). All patients of the polyp group exhaled E-VOCs 12 to 45s.
69 patients with GDJ liquid exhaled E-VOCS 12 to 45s. 11 patients out of these 69 cases (15.9%) present with polyps. 27 patients exhaled E-VOCs 12 to 45s and did not have GDJ, 20 of whom (74.1%) presented with polyps.
When GDJ liquid is not objectivized after fasting, the sensitivity of the E-VOCs 12 to 45s to identify patients with colonic polyps is equal to 100.0% and the specificity is 93.6%. The positive predictive value is 74.1% and the negative predictive value is 100%.
Conclusion: After fasting, X-PID 9500® is able to detect E-VOCs associated with colonic polyps, when GDJ liquid is excluded.
Genomic Asymmetry for Morphology in Allopolyploids within and Out of Brassica
The genomic asymmetry in the nonrandom retention and expression of controlling genes for some traits from one parental diploid is obvious in some natural and synthetic allopolyploids, and has the evolutionary implications. Here we review the genomic asymmetry for the morphological performance in three cultivated Brassica allotetraploids and some intergeneric allopolyploids within Brassicaceae species. For the phenotypic biases of Brassica allotetraploids, Brassica oleracea (genomes CC) is dominant over B. nigra (BB) and B. rapa (AA) in B. carinata (CCBB) and B. napus (CCAA), respectively, and B. nigra is dominant over B. rapa in B. juncea (BBAA), showing the C>B>A dominance hierarchy.
Copper Oxide Nano-Hydrogel Composite and their Toxicology Studies: A Green Chemistry Approach
The increasing demand for skin care products formulated with metal oxide nanoparticles such as Zinc oxide, Titanium oxide and Copper oxide nanoparticles calls for toxicological safety concerns. Phytochemical assisted synthesis of Copper oxide nanoparticles (CuONPs) has been achieved by a simple, one-pot chemical procedure using polyphenol-rich aqueous extract of Solanum torvum L. as a reducing and capping agent.
Automated Polyp Detection System in Colonoscopy Using Deep Learning and Image Processing Techniques
Undetected colonic polyps are considered a major cause of interval cancer of the colon. The Automatic Polyp Detection
System (APDS) (Magentiq Eye LTD, Haifa, Israel) was developed to enhance the ability of endoscopists to detect polyps during screening colonoscopy. It is designed to be used both in real-time and offline. APDS runs directly on the video output of the endoscopic camera and highlights the polyp on the screen. APDS utilizes the power of Deep Learning and Computer Vision in order to improve polyp detection rates thus improving the performance of the endoscopist.

Antrochoanal Polyp Harboring Cholesterol Granuloma: A Case Study
Cholesterol granuloma (CG) is a foreign body reaction to the deposition and inadequate drainage of cholesterol crystals that are frequently found in association with chronic diseases. The clinical symptoms are non-specific. The differential diagnosis of CG includes cysts, mucocoeles and neoplasms. Radiological and histopathological findings are essential for diagnosis of CG. In this report it is aimed to introduce a case of CG in antrochoanal polyp with its clinical and histopathological findings.
Commentary and Review on Sacred Geometry
This formula was designed to discover and analyze the compatibility/incompatibility of individuals and groups of individuals based on fingerprint classifications found in the Henry System of Fingerprint Classification and Filing. In particular, the Primary Classification which depicts the distribution of whorl type patterns across a ten set of fingerprints. A given Primary Classification is therefore examined according to the geometric position that it maintains on a chart of the 1024 classifications. Nevertheless, in order for geometric analysis to be accurate, the dimensions of the Primary Classification Chart must be specific.
Enzyme Assisted Extraction of Polyphenols from the Old Tea Leaves
Polyphenols are a main antioxidant in the old tea leaves. These bioactive compounds have been linked with a reduced of risk cardiovascular and cancer.
Uterine Morcellator versus Resectoscopy in the Management of Heavy Menstrual Flow in Reproductive-Age Women
Submucous leiomyoma and endometrial polyps are the most challenging causes of heavy menstrual flow (menorrhagia) accompanied with infertility, and other clinical issues. There are different hysteroscopic modalities for management of heavy menstrual flow caused by submucous myomas and polyps including conventional hysteroscopic resectoscopy and a novel, recent uterine hysteroscopic morcellator.
Primary Cutaneous Hodgkin Lymphoma: A Rare Disease Variant and Review of the Literature
A 49-year-old man presented with a 2-year history of an enlarging ulcerated plaque over the right forearm with an associated history of pruritus. Skin biopsy demonstrated an infiltrate of lymphocytes in the dermis and subcutis, together with atypical cells with large nuclei and prominent nucleoli resembling Reed-Sternberg cells.
UVC-Shielding by Nano-TiO2/PMMA Composite: A Chemical Approach
A translucent UV protecting poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)/TiO2 nanocomposite has been fabricated using anatase TiO2 nanoparticles by solution method. The myristic acid capped titania nanoparticles were synthesized via a simple sol-gel method, involving hydrolysis of titanium tetra isopropoxide (TTIP).
Stability Analysis of Human Islet Amyloid Polypeptide and Its Mutated Oligomeric Forms
Human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP), a 37 residue peptide hormone is an ingenious factor in pancreatic amyloid deposits found in cases with type-2 diabetes. Its aggregation into small toxic oligomeric species is presumed to be the reason for cells debilitation and demise in case of diabetic patients.
Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis in a Patient with Lynch Syndrome (Hereditary Non Polyposis Colorectal Cancer)
A fifty three year old white female smoker with Lynch Syndrome was receiving adjuvant chemotherapy for node positive caecal adenocarcinoma. Interval investigations demonstrated a second primary gastric cancer with bilateral pulmonary nodules of indeterminate significance. Lung biopsy revealed Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH).
