Multicenter Study
Artificial Intelligence for Real-Time Prediction of the Histology of Colorectal Polyps by General Endoscopists.
Real-time prediction of histologic features of small colorectal polyps may prevent resection and/or pathologic evaluation and therefore decrease colonoscopy costs. Previous studies showed that computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) was highly accurate, though it did not outperform expert endoscopists. ⋯ Olympus America Corporation served as the clinical study sponsor.

Efficacy of Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision to Prevent HIV Infection Among Men Who Have Sex With Men : A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Observational studies suggest that voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) may lower HIV risk among men who have sex with men (MSM). A randomized controlled trial (RCT) is needed to confirm this. ⋯ The National Science and Technology Major Project of China.
