Item Defining conventional EMR in 2021: A burning issue(American Gastroenterological Association, 2021) Shahidi, Neal; Rex, Douglas K.; Medicine, School of MedicineItem Proposal for the return to routine endoscopy during the COVID-19 pandemic(Elsevier, 2020) Gupta, Sunil; Shahidi, Neal; Gilroy, Nicole; Rex, Douglas K.; Burgess, Nicholas G.; Bourke, Michael J.; Medicine, School of MedicineIn response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many jurisdictions and gastroenterological societies around the world have suspended nonurgent endoscopy. Subject to country-specific variability, it is projected that with current mitigation measures in place, the peak incidence of active COVID-19 infections may be delayed by over 6 months. Although this aims to prevent the overburdening of healthcare systems, prolonged deferral of elective endoscopy will become unsustainable. Herein, we propose that by incorporating readily available point-of-care tests and conducting accurate clinical risk assessments, a safe and timely return to elective endoscopy is feasible. Our algorithm not only focuses on the safety of patients and healthcare workers, but also assists in rationalizing the use of invaluable resources such as personal protective equipment.Item Use of Endoscopic Impression, Artificial Intelligence, and Pathologist Interpretation to Resolve Discrepancies Between Endoscopy and Pathology Analyses of Diminutive Colorectal Polyps(Elsevier, 2020-02) Shahidi, Neal; Rex, Douglas K.; Kaltenbach, Tonya; Rastogi, Amit; Ghalehjegh, Sina Hamidi; Byrne, Michael F.; Medicine, School of MedicineItem Will Computer-Aided Detection and Diagnosis Revolutionize Colonoscopy?(Elsevier, 2017-11) Byrne, Michael F.; Shahidi, Neal; Rex, Douglas K.; Medicine, School of Medicine
