Summarising 40 years of gastric lavage studies to evaluate efficiency and survival in sharks and rays

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Traditionally, lethal stomach dissection has been used to study the diets of sharks and rays, but conservation and animal welfare concerns necessitate non‐lethal alternatives, such as gastric lavage (stomach or gut flushing). In this study, we summarised gastric lavage studies on elasmobranchs to identify which species/groups it has been ...

Detection of telomerase activity in peritoneal lavage fluid from patients with gastric cancer using immunomagnetic beads [PDF]

, 2000
Cytologic examination of peritoneal lavage fluid is a useful predictor of peritoneal recurrence in gastric cancer. However, this technique is not overly sensitive and requires special abilities in the cytologist.

Multi-Scale Hybrid Vision Transformer for Learning Gastric Histology: AI-Based Decision Support System for Gastric Cancer Treatment [PDF]

Published in: IEEE Journal of Biomedical and Health Informatics (Volume: 27, Issue: 8, August 2023), 2022
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 ...
