Is adenoma Detection Increased in the Setting of Melanosis Coli?
Melanosis coli is associated with a significant increase in ADR during colonoscopy compared with controls. The increased visibility of adenomas given their contrast with the pigmented background is a likely explanation. Future efforts to identify bowel preparation agents that can induce a similar effect could improve ADRs during colonoscopy.
From the standard anteroposterior and lateral radiographs, an increased kyphosis of the thoracolumbar junction was observed in TL/L AIS, and it was demonstrated to be positively correlated to more axial vertebral rotation of the scoliotic spine.
