Mitt Romney is in a bind: he is running for the 2012 Republican nomination for President, yet was governor of Massachusetts when its own healthcare reform passed.

Colonoscopy is a way to detect colorectal cancer, but research has shown that not all colonoscopy technology is equally effective.Researchers at the Mayo Clinic campus in Florida report that high-definition colonoscopy is much more sensitive than standard colonoscopy in finding polyps that could result in cancer. This study was important because a large group of 2,430 people participated in the study, and it is the only study that has compared the two types of colonoscopy in a clinical practice setting.In colonoscopy, an endoscope is a lighted tube that is inserted into the colon and rectum to look for and remove polyps. A high-definition endoscope uses a high-definition video chip, and HD monitors (much like HD television). That increases the resolution of the image to make the procedure more effective.Researchers found that the rate of detection of polyps that are likely to become cancerous, or adenomas, was 29 percent among patients who were scanned with high-definition endoscopes.
