Peristaltic Transport of a Rheological Fluid: Model for Movement of Food Bolus Through Esophagus [PDF]
Applied Mathematics and Mechanics (AMM), Volume: 33, Issue: 3
(2012) pp. 315-332, 2011 Fluid mechanical peristaltic transport through esophagus has been of concern in the paper. A mathematical model has been developed with an aim to study the peristaltic transport of a rheological fluid for arbitrary wave shapes and tube lengths. The Ostwald-de Waele power law of viscous fluid is considered here to depict the non-Newtonian behaviour of ...

Mechanics Informed Fluoroscopy of Esophageal Transport [PDF]
Biomechanics and Modeling in Mechanobiology. 20 (2021) 925-940, 2020 Fluoroscopy is a radiographic procedure for evaluating esophageal disorders such as achalasia, dysphasia and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It performs dynamic imaging of the swallowing process and provides anatomical detail and a qualitative idea of how well swallowed fluid is transported through the esophagus.

Alteration of the esophageal microbiota in Barrett's esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma
World Journal of Gastroenterology, 2019 The incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) has increased in recent decades, and its 5-year survival rate is less than 20%. As a well-established precursor, patients with Barrett's esophagus (BE) have a persistent risk of progression to EAC.

Management of Barrett’s Esophagus [PDF]
Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2000 There have been major recent advances in the understanding of the pathogenesis and epidemiology of Barrett’s esophagus and adenocarcinoma of the esophagus. The advent of potent acid suppression with proton pump inhibitors and safe, minimally invasive antireflux procedures has made alleviating symptoms and eliminating peptic complications achievable ...

Progression to cancer in patients with confirmed dysplasia compared to dysplasia downgraded to non-dysplastic metaplasia in Barrett’s esophagus: a retrospective cohort study in Sweden [PDF]
Clinical EndoscopyBackground/Aims This study aimed to clarify the risk of progression in patients with non-dysplastic Barrett’s esophagus (NDBE) and patients with confirmed low-grade dysplasia (LGD) and indefinite for dysplasia (IND) after an expert pathologist review of ...

DMseg: a Python algorithm for de novo detection of differentially or variably methylated regions [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Detecting and assessing statistical significance of differentially methylated regions (DMRs) is a fundamental task in methylome association studies. While the average differential methylation in different phenotype groups has been the inferential focus, methylation changes in chromosomal regions may also present as differential variability, i.e ...
