TL;DR: Colonoscopic screening can detect advanced colonic neoplasms in asymptomatic adults with or without distal neoplasia, and many of these neoplasm would not be detected with sigmoidoscopy.

TL;DR: Carotid endarterectomy reduced the overall incidence of ipsilateral neurologic events in a selected group of male patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis, and overall mortality was primarily due to coronary atherosclerosis.

TL;DR: The authors' data endorse several important risk factors for advanced colonic neoplasia and provide a rationale for prudent risk reduction strategies and further study is needed to determine if lifestyle changes can moderate the risk of colorectal cancer.

TL;DR: There is a strong association between results of baseline screening colonoscopy and rate of serious incident lesions during 5.5 years of surveillance and patients with 1 or 2 tubular adenomas less than 10 mm represent a low-risk group compared with other patients with colon neoplasia.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated whether detection of proximal nondysplastic serrated polyps (ND-SP) at screening and surveillance colonoscopies is associated with advanced neoplasia.
