Effects of the Transcutaneous Electrical Stimulation System on Heartburn, Regurgitation and Esophageal Acid Exposure in GERD Patients-An Uncontrolled Feasibility Study. [PDF]

Neurogastroenterol Motil
Following TESS treatment, reported number of heartburn and regurgitation events in patients with GERD decreased by 68.3% and 78.5%, respectively. Esophageal AET and DeMeester score decreased by 74.5% (SD 31.9%) and 82.3% (SD 26.8%), respectively. TESS is a useful, safe device, effectively reduces both symptoms and AET in GERD patients.

Upper Esophageal Sphincter Opening Segmentation with Convolutional Recurrent Neural Networks in High Resolution Cervical Auscultation [PDF]

IEEE Journal of Biomedical and Health Informatics (2020), 2020
Upper esophageal sphincter is an important anatomical landmark of the swallowing process commonly observed through the kinematic analysis of radiographic examinations that are vulnerable to subjectivity and clinical feasibility issues. Acting as the doorway of esophagus, upper esophageal sphincter allows the transition of ingested materials from ...
