Multi-Scale Hybrid Vision Transformer for Learning Gastric Histology: AI-Based Decision Support System for Gastric Cancer Treatment [PDF]
Gastric endoscopic screening is an effective way to decide appropriate gastric cancer (GC) treatment at an early stage, reducing GC-associated mortality rate. Although artificial intelligence (AI) has brought a great promise to assist pathologist to screen digitalized whole slide images, existing AI systems are limited in fine-grained cancer ...

Pentagastrin in the Gastric Fistula Dog
The stimulation of secretion of water, H + , pepsin, and electrolytes from the innervated stomach was studied in 6 fistula dogs. Each of eight doses of pentagastrin (0.1 to 12.0 μg per kg-hr) was given by a separate 4-hr infusion. Both peak and total output of each component could be related to dose in a linear model (S/V = aS + b, where S=dose and V ...

Formation of Pancreatoduodenal Fistula in Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasm of the Pancreas Decreased the Frequency of Recurrent Pancreatitis [PDF]
Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) of the pancreas are characterized by proliferation of mucin-secreting cells in the main pancreatic duct (PD) or its branches. The secreted thick mucin usually leads to PD obstruction and dilation.

Practical X-ray Gastric Cancer Diagnostic Support Using Refined Stochastic Data Augmentation and Hard Boundary Box Training [PDF]
Endoscopy is widely used to diagnose gastric cancer and has a high diagnostic performance, but it must be performed by a physician, which limits the number of people who can be diagnosed. In contrast, gastric X-rays can be taken by radiographers, thus allowing a much larger number of patients to undergo imaging.

Sequential drain amylase to guide drain removal following pancreatectomy [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Although used as criterion for early drain removal, postoperative day (POD) 1 drain fluid amylase (DFA) ≤ 5000 U/L has low negative predictive value for clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula (CR-POPF).

Cooling or Warming the Esophagus to Reduce Esophageal Injury During Left Atrial Ablation in the Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation. [PDF]
Ablation of the left atrium using either radiofrequency (RF) or cryothermal energy is an effective treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF) and is the most frequent type of cardiac ablation procedure performed. Although generally safe, collateral injury to
