Generalizable Cone Beam CT Esophagus Segmentation Using Physics-Based Data Augmentation [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Automated segmentation of esophagus is critical in image guided/adaptive radiotherapy of lung cancer to minimize radiation-induced toxicities such as acute esophagitis. We developed a semantic physics-based data augmentation method for segmenting esophagus in both planning CT (pCT) and cone-beam CT (CBCT) using 3D convolutional neural networks.

Geometry-Aware Latent Representation Learning for Modeling Disease Progression of Barrett's Esophagus [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Barrett's Esophagus (BE) is the only precursor known to Esophageal Adenocarcinoma (EAC), a type of esophageal cancer with poor prognosis upon diagnosis. Therefore, diagnosing BE is crucial in preventing and treating esophageal cancer. While supervised machine learning supports BE diagnosis, high interobserver variability in histopathological training ...

Large Language Models for Granularized Barrett's Esophagus Diagnosis Classification [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Diagnostic codes for Barrett's esophagus (BE), a precursor to esophageal cancer, lack granularity and precision for many research or clinical use cases. Laborious manual chart review is required to extract key diagnostic phenotypes from BE pathology reports. We developed a generalizable transformer-based method to automate data extraction.

Modeling inflammation and oxidative stress in gastrointestinal disease development using novel organotypic culture systems. [PDF]
, 2013 Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), Barrett's esophagus (BE), graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and inflammatory bowel diseases such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease are common human gastrointestinal diseases that share inflammation as a key

Microbial Similarity and Preference for Specific Sites in Healthy Oral Cavity and Esophagus
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Human microbial communities are highly complex ecosystems, but it remains unclear if microbial compositions have any similarity in distinct sites of the oral cavity and esophagus in particular.

Radiographic and ultrasonographic evaluation of the esophagus in the horse [PDF]
, 2016 The purpose of this study was to describe the radiographic and ultrasonographic appearance of the esophagus of ten healthy horses. Contrast radiography showed variations in the long-axis shape of the esophagus at the thoracic inlet.

Paired Exome Analysis of Barrett’s Esophagus and Adenocarcinoma
Nature Genetics, 2015 Barrett's esophagus is thought to progress to esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) through a stepwise progression with loss of CDKN2A followed by TP53 inactivation and aneuploidy.
