ERCPMP: An Endoscopic Image and Video Dataset for Colorectal Polyps Morphology and Pathology
In the recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) and its leading subtypes,
machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) and their applications are
spreading very fast in various aspects such as medicine. Today the most
important challenge of developing accurate algorithms for medical prediction,
detection, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis is data. ERCPMP is an Endoscopic
Image and Video Dataset for Recognition of Colorectal Polyps Morphology and
Pathology. This dataset contains demographic, morphological and pathological
data, endoscopic images and videos of 191 patients with colorectal polyps.
Morphological data is included based on the latest international
gastroenterology classification references such as Paris, Pit and JNET
classification. Pathological data includes the diagnosis of the polyps
including Tubular, Villous, Tubulovillous, Hyperplastic, Serrated, Inflammatory
and Adenocarcinoma with Dysplasia Grade & Differentiation. The current version
of this dataset is published and available on Elsevier Mendeley Dataverse and
since it is under development, the latest version is accessible via:

Analyzing central-line associated bloodstream infection prevention bundles in 22 countries: The results of ID-IRI survey
International audienceBACKGROUND: Because central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) are a significant complication of central venous access, it is critical to prevent CLABSIs through the use of central line bundles. The purpose of this study was to take a snapshot of central venous access bundles in various countries. METHODS: The participants in intensive care units (ICUs) completed a questionnaire that included information about the health center, infection control procedures, and central line maintenance. The countries were divided into 2 groups: those with a low or low-middle income and those with an upper-middle or high income. RESULTS: Forty-three participants from 22 countries (46 hospitals, 85 ICUs) responded to the survey. Eight (17.4%) hospitals had no surveillance system for CLABSI. Approximately 7.1 % (n = 6) ICUs had no CLABSI bundle. Twenty ICUs (23.5%) had no dedicated checklist. The percentage of using ultrasonography during catheter insertion, transparent semi-permeable dressings, needleless connectors and single-use sterile pre-filled ready to use 0.9% NaCl were significantly higher in countries with higher and middle-higher income (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS: Our study demonstrated that there are significant differences in the central line bundles between low/low-middle income countries and upper-middle/high-income countries. Additional measures should be taken to address inequity in the management of vascular access in resource-limited countries
