Introduction: We investigated the end-of-life care preferences of patients with mild dementia and compared them with the hopes of caregivers regarding end-of-life care for patients.Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted among outpatients with mild dementia or mild cognitive impairment and their family caregivers who visited the Medical Center for Dementia.Results: We analyzed 50 pairs of dementia patients and their family caregivers. Of people with dementia, 24 respondents (48.0%) preferred "antibiotics and infusions for pneumonia" at the end of life. Eleven respondents (22.0%) preferred "central parenteral nutrition". Eight respondents (16.0%) preferred "resuscitation". For each end-of-life care item, the concordance rate between patients and caregivers on "prefer" / "do not prefer" was 0%-76%. Patients and their families who discussed end-of-life care had a significantly higher concordance rate for "resuscitation" preference than those who did not.Conclusion: For patients and their families to be able to make decisions they do not regret, it is important to promote discussions about end-of-life medical care before the patient's condition becomes severe.

Background/Aims:
Dual red imaging (DRI) is a new, image-enhanced endoscopy technique. There are few reports about the usefulness of DRI during gastric endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). We aimed to examine the usefulness of DRI in endoscopic hemostasis during gastric ESD.
Methods:
We enrolled a total of 20 consecutive patients who underwent gastric ESD. Five endoscopists compared DRI with white light imaging (WLI) for the visibility of blood vessels and bleeding points while performing endoscopic hemostasis.
Results:
The visibility of blood vessels was increased in 56% (19/34) of the cases, and the visibility of bleeding points was improved in 55% (11/20) of the cases with the use of DRI compared with the use of WLI.
Conclusions
DRI improved the visibility of blood vessels and bleeding points in cases with oozing bleeding, blood pooling around the bleeding points, and multiple bleeding points.
