This retrospective study suggests that gastrectomy is a risk factor for choledocholithiasis. Especially in terms of the differences in reconstruction methods, the median time from gastrectomy to development of choledocholithiasis was 5.5 years for Roux‐en‐Y, which was significantly faster than 20 years for Billroth I and 35 years for Billroth II ...

Deep Learning for Visual Recognition of Environmental Enteropathy and Celiac Disease [PDF]
Physicians use biopsies to distinguish between different but histologically similar enteropathies. The range of syndromes and pathologies that could cause different gastrointestinal conditions makes this a difficult problem. Recently, deep learning has been used successfully in helping diagnose cancerous tissues in histopathological images.

Self-Attentive Adversarial Stain Normalization [PDF]
Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) stained Whole Slide Images (WSIs) are utilized for biopsy visualization-based diagnostic and prognostic assessment of diseases. Variation in the H&E staining process across different lab sites can lead to significant variations in biopsy image appearance.

Phase diagram of epidemic spreading - unimodal vs. bimodal probability distributions [PDF]
The disease spreading on complex networks is studied in SIR model. Simulations on empirical complex networks reveal two specific regimes of disease spreading: local containment and epidemic outbreak. The variables measuring the extent of disease spreading are in general characterized by a bimodal probability distribution.

Our present study reveals that surgical step recognition performs moderately well when trained on video data from a single institution and applied to an external institution's data. Nevertheless, our model substantially improves its prediction capabilities when trained on the same amount of data from multiple institutions.
