Background And Study Aims:
Olympus's new endoscopic system, EVIS X1, features five-LED illumination and a novel complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor distinct from conventional charge-coupled devices (CCDs), potentially improving colorectal adenoma detection rates (ADRs). This study compared ADR and related indicators between the EVIS X1 system and the conventional EVIS LUCERA ELITE, a xenon-light system.
Patients And Methods:
Of 4,915 colonoscopies performed between September 2020 and April 2023, 814 EVIS X1 and 953 LUCERA cases met inclusion criteria. After propensity score matching to balance baseline characteristics, 660 patients per group were analyzed. Outcomes included ADR, polyp detection rate (PDR), adenomas per colonoscopy (APC), and polyps per colonoscopy (PPC). Subgroup analysis assessed the impact of CMOS-equipped scopes within the X1 group.
Results:
ADR was slightly higher in the X1 group (36.1%) than the LUCERA group (32.1%), although not statistically significant ( P = 0.147). APC (0.77 vs. 0.61, P = 0.034) and PPC (0.95 vs. 0.75, P = 0.023) were significantly higher with X1. Within the X1 group, scopes with CMOS sensors achieved a significantly higher ADR (41.9%) compared with those without. Mean size of polyps detected was smaller with CMOS than with CCD scopes. Multivariate analysis identified age > 60 years, male sex, positive fecal occult blood test, and use of the X1 system with CMOS scopes as independent predictors of higher ADR.
Conclusions:
The EVIS X1 system may have the potential to improve adenoma detection, particularly when used with CMOS sensor-equipped scopes. These findings suggest potential benefits for colorectal cancer screening, although further large-scale studies are warranted for validation.

03:08Rate-Determining Steps
In a multistep reaction mechanism, one of the elementary steps progresses significantly slower than the others. This slowest step is called the rate-limiting step (or rate-determining step). A reaction cannot proceed faster than its slowest step, and hence, the rate-determining step limits the overall reaction rate.
The concept of rate-determining step can be understood from the analogy of a 4-lane freeway with a short-stretch of traffic-bottleneck caused due to...
