- "COVID-19"大流行严重扰乱了医疗保健服务,包括癌症查和诊断.
- 结肠直肠癌 (CRC) 查率,特别是结肠镜检查,在疫情期间由于封锁和患者相关的恐惧而显著下降.
- 之前的研究记录了全国范围内结肠镜检查率的下降,但对夏威夷独特的人口统计学的影响仍然未被研究.
研究的目的:
- 评估大流行病对夏威夷大肠镜服务和结直肠瘤检测的影响.
- 分析CRC病例的人口统计 (年龄,性别,种族) 与大流行引起的查变化相关.
- 确定受CRC查和诊断减少影响不成比例的特定人群.

Endoscopic Procedures II: Colonoscopy
79
The colon, or large intestine, is the final segment of the digestive system. Its primary functions include absorbing water and vitamins produced by gut bacteria and transforming waste from liquid to solid to form stool. In adults, the large intestine is approximately 5 feet long and consists of four main sections:

Imaging Studies III: Gastrointestinal Motility Studies and Virtual Colonoscopy
72
This lesson explores three gastrointestinal imaging techniques: radionuclide testing, colonic transit studies, and virtual colonoscopy.
Radionuclide Testing
Radionuclide testing is a sophisticated medical technique for assessing gastrointestinal motility. It focuses on gastric emptying and colonic transit time. Radioactive markers track the movement of food through the digestive system, providing insights into gastrointestinal disorders.
In gastric emptying studies, a meal's liquid and...
