A Non-Frequently Considered Diagnosis of Dysphagia; Eosinophilic Esophagitis
Eosinophilic Esophagitis is infiltration of esophagus mucosa by eosinophil leucocyte. It is rarely observed in children and the symptoms are similar to gastroesophageal reflux. This case, which was applied esophagus balloon dilatation in the pediatric

Uncertainty Quantification for Eosinophil Segmentation [PDF]
Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) is an allergic condition increasing in prevalence. To diagnose EoE, pathologists must find 15 or more eosinophils within a single high-power field (400X magnification). Determining whether or not a patient has EoE can be an arduous process and any medical imaging approaches used to assist diagnosis must consider both ...

PECNet: A Deep Multi-Label Segmentation Network for Eosinophilic Esophagitis Biopsy Diagnostics [PDF]
Background. Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is an allergic inflammatory condition of the esophagus associated with elevated numbers of eosinophils. Disease diagnosis and monitoring requires determining the concentration of eosinophils in esophageal biopsies, a time-consuming, tedious and somewhat subjective task currently performed by pathologists ...

Machine learning approach for biopsy-based identification of eosinophilic esophagitis reveals importance of global features [PDF]
Goal: Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is an allergic inflammatory condition characterized by eosinophil accumulation in the esophageal mucosa. EoE diagnosis includes a manual assessment of eosinophil levels in mucosal biopsies - a time-consuming, laborious task that is difficult to standardize. One of the main challenges in automating this process, like

Deep Learning-Based Open Source Toolkit for Eosinophil Detection in Pediatric Eosinophilic Esophagitis [PDF]
Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic, immune/antigen-mediated esophageal disease, characterized by symptoms related to esophageal dysfunction and histological evidence of eosinophil-dominant inflammation. Owing to the intricate microscopic representation of EoE in imaging, current methodologies which depend on manual identification are not only ...

Interpretable Machine Learning for COVID-19: An Empirical Study on Severity Prediction Task [PDF]
The black-box nature of machine learning models hinders the deployment of some high-accuracy models in medical diagnosis. It is risky to put one's life in the hands of models that medical researchers do not fully understand. However, through model interpretation, black-box models can promptly reveal significant biomarkers that medical practitioners may

Eosinophils Instance Object Segmentation on Whole Slide Imaging Using Multi-label Circle Representation [PDF]
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic and relapsing disease characterized by esophageal inflammation. Symptoms of EoE include difficulty swallowing, food impaction, and chest pain which significantly impact the quality of life, resulting in nutritional impairments, social limitations, and psychological distress.
