“…It must be kept in mind that elderly patients frequently have subclinical cardiopulmonary dysfunction. 16 In view of our findings of potentially serious cardiac side effects of scopolamine butylbromide, it seems reasonable to recommend glucagon instead when using antispasmodic medications for colonoscopy.…”

“…A "pillow sign" or "cushion sign", indentation of a lipoma with a closed biopsy forceps followed by restoration of its original shape upon withdrawal of the forceps, and a "naked fat sign", fat protruding from biopsy site of a lipoma immediately following deep mucosal biopsy, have been described [5,16,17]. However, endoscopy requires special skill and experience and carries a slight risk of complication [18].
