Volumetric laser endomicroscopy and its application to Barrett's esophagus: results from a 1,000 patient registry. [PDF]

, 2019
Volumetric laser endomicroscopy (VLE) uses optical coherence tomography (OCT) for real-time, microscopic cross-sectional imaging. A US-based multi-center registry was constructed to prospectively collect data on patients undergoing upper endoscopy during

GERD and Upper Aerodigestive Tract Cancer Risk: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is highly prevalent, yet its association with upper aerodigestive tract (UADT) cancers beyond esophageal adenocarcinoma remains incompletely defined. This systematic review and meta‐analysis aimed to quantify the risk of specific UADT cancers in individuals with GERD.

Quality of life in patients with various Barrett's esophagus associated health states

Health and Quality of Life Outcomes, 2006
Background The management of Barrett's esophagus (BE), particularly high grade dysplasia (HGD), is an area of much debate and controversy. Surgical esophagectomy, intensive endoscopic surveillance and mucosal ablative techniques, especially photodynamic ...

Does CDX2 expression predict Barrett's metaplasia in oesophageal columnar epithelium without goblet cells? [PDF]

, 2006
Background: Intestinal metaplasia (Barrett's oesophagus), but not cardiac-type mucosa in columnar-lined oesophagus, is regarded as premalignant. As intestinal metaplasia and cardiac-type mucosa are endoscopically indiscernible, it is difficult to take ...

Automated Creak Identifies Laryngeal Dystonia During Conversational Speech

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study evaluated whether automated creak distinguished speakers with adductor laryngeal dystonia (AdLD), muscle tension dysphonia (MTD), and those without voice disorders during conversational speech. Automated creak estimates were able to differentiate speakers with AdLD from MTD and controls with similar performance across different types of ...

Cost–benefit analysis and ‘next best’ methods to evaluate the efficiency of social policies: As in pitching horseshoes, closeness matters

Annals of Public and Cooperative Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Many policymakers are unwilling, or think that it is infeasible, to perform comprehensive cost–benefit analysis (CBA) of programmes in social policy arenas. What principles actually underlie CBA? An understanding is necessary to assess whether other evaluation methods are close enough to CBA to provide useful information on social efficiency ...

Bacterial Composition of the Human Upper Gastrointestinal Tract Microbiome Is Dynamic and Associated with Genomic Instability in a Barrett's Esophagus Cohort. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
The incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) has increased nearly five-fold over the last four decades in the United States. Barrett's esophagus, the replacement of the normal squamous epithelial lining with a mucus-secreting columnar epithelium, is ...
