Advancing Eosinophilic Esophagitis Diagnosis and Phenotype Assessment with Deep Learning Computer Vision [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) is an inflammatory esophageal disease which is increasing in prevalence. The diagnostic gold-standard involves manual review of a patient's biopsy tissue sample by a clinical pathologist for the presence of 15 or greater eosinophils within a single high-power field (400x magnification).

Functional Lumen Imaging Probe Measurement Post‐Pneumatic Dilation in Clinically Relevant Esophagogastric Junction Outlet Obstruction

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
In a retrospective cohort study of 29 EGJOO patients receiving PD, FLIP metrics and Eckardt score all improved after PD. In 6 patients requiring early repeat dilation for symptom recurrence, no difference in FLIP findings was identified. ABSTRACT Background Pneumatic dilation (PD) is an effective treatment for disorders of reduced esophageal opening ...

Approach for Diagnostic and Treatment of Achalasia [PDF]

, 2013
Achalasia is a rare motor disorder of the esophagus and lower esophageal sphincter. The incidence is approximately 1/100,000 per year and the prevalence rate is 10/100,000.

Assessment of Esophagogastric Junction Barrier Function With the Supine‐Upright Transition of the Chicago Classification Protocol

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background & Aims The straight leg raise (SLR) is a provocative maneuver used to assess the esophagogastric junction (EGJ) barrier function during high‐resolution manometry (HRM) and is part of the Milan Score (MS). The Chicago Classification 4.0 (CCv4.0) protocol requires patients to perform a supine‐upright transition (SUT), increasing intra‐

PECNet: A Deep Multi-Label Segmentation Network for Eosinophilic Esophagitis Biopsy Diagnostics [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
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 ...

Optimizing the Straight Leg Raise Maneuver to Improve Prediction of Conclusive Gastro‐Esophageal Reflux Disease

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
The SLR maneuver is a valuable component of GERD evaluation. By establishing optimal thresholds for both effective EGJ challenge and accurate GERD prediction, we provide another step for standardized implementation in clinical practice. ABSTRACT Background Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) arises from dysfunction of the anti‐reflux barrier.

The conundrum of esophagogastric junction outflow obstruction: Answers to key clinical questions

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, EarlyView.
Esophagogastric junction outflow obstruction (EGJOO) is a heterogeneous disorder characterized by abnormal esophagogastric junction pressures in the setting of intact peristalsis. The significance of this finding is highest in patients with dysphagia or chest pain, and in patients for whom there is a clinical suspicion for an achalasia variant.

Multi-institutional Validation of Two-Streamed Deep Learning Method for Automated Delineation of Esophageal Gross Tumor Volume using planning-CT and FDG-PETCT [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Background: The current clinical workflow for esophageal gross tumor volume (GTV) contouring relies on manual delineation of high labor-costs and interuser variability. Purpose: To validate the clinical applicability of a deep learning (DL) multi-modality esophageal GTV contouring model, developed at 1 institution whereas tested at multiple ones ...
