We @statnews published this story on the first randomized trial evaluating #colonoscopy #screening for colorectal #cancer. tl;dr - results disappointed docs, but many nuances to consider.🧵continues on nuances, impt details, and health news you can use 1/8 statnews.com/2022/10/09/in-…
At first glance, intent to screen colonoscopy did not reduce colon cancer deaths in this trial. It did reduce cancer incidence by 18% which is great. Biggest caveat is that only 42% of the ppl in the screening group actually got a colonoscopy 2/8
When you compare just the people who got colonoscopy to those who didn't get it, colonoscopy looks like it has a 50% reduction in cancer mortality and 30% reduction in incidence. That was a secondary analysis called the per protocol analysis 3/8

Bowel wall thickening is most prominent in the hyperechoic submucosal layer, representing deposition of fat and fibrous tissue as a result of chronic bowel inflammation

@rebelliousgut @MondayNightIBD @southasianIBD @ibdesis @Empoweringpts9 @DCharabaty @crohnsbabble @LivingWithUmeed @vkckiranpullela @TheMaveilousGut @dunung_ruchita 3/ When my dad passed from #CRC, my family went into poverty & couldn't afford health insurance. Though I was symptomatic as a child, I didn't have a #colonoscopy until 22 when I got my 1st job. That's when I received my very delayed #IBD diagnosis. #MondayNightIBD #SouthAsianIBD

Quick tips for #colonoscopy
Please share your tips/tricks
Here is mine:
When the cecum is frothy & full of bubbles, go into terminal ileum which is the source of froth, and squirt Simethicone in there and then come back to cecum. Crystal clear cecum!
Thank me later!

The same trick in #gastroscopy : When using simethicone, attack the source!
If the stomach is frothy, put some simethicone in oesophagus and in the pylorus, come back to the stomach to rinse and clean as normal! @Samir_Grover
