Towards automated visual flexible endoscope navigation [PDF]
Background:\ud The design of flexible endoscopes has not changed significantly in the past 50 years. A trend is observed towards a wider application of flexible endoscopes with an increasing role in complex intraluminal therapeutic procedures.

Teleoperated Magnetic Endoscopy: A Case Study and Perspective
This perspective highlights the recent research efforts in robotic magnetic platforms for telesurgery and their translation to clinical settings for endoscopic procedures. To demonstrate this approach, this work also introduces an in vivo gastroscopy performed in a porcine model, during which an operator in Zurich, Switzerland, successfully controls a ...

What Can Be Transferred: Unsupervised Domain Adaptation for Endoscopic Lesions Segmentation [PDF]
Unsupervised domain adaptation has attracted growing research attention on semantic segmentation. However, 1) most existing models cannot be directly applied into lesions transfer of medical images, due to the diverse appearances of same lesion among different datasets; 2) equal attention has been paid into all semantic representations instead of ...

Abstract Objectives Superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) detection is crucial. Although narrow‐band imaging improves detection, its effectiveness is diminished by inexperienced endoscopists. The effects of artificial intelligence (AI) assistance on ESCC detection by endoscopists remain unclear.

Weakly-Supervised Cross-Domain Adaptation for Endoscopic Lesions Segmentation [PDF]
Weakly-supervised learning has attracted growing research attention on medical lesions segmentation due to significant saving in pixel-level annotation cost. However, 1) most existing methods require effective prior and constraints to explore the intrinsic lesions characterization, which only generates incorrect and rough prediction; 2) they neglect ...

Abstract Gastric abscess is a rare condition caused by gastric barrier damage. It is easily misdiagnosed in clinical practice as a cancer recurrence or submucosal tumor, especially after surgery or endoscopic submucosal dissection. With a relatively high mortality rate, the cause and clinical characteristics of gastric abscesses are obscure.

Hospital environment as a reservoir for cross transmission. Cleaning and disinfection procedures [PDF]
Background. Healthcare associated infections (HAIs) represent a serious problem for public health, as they increase the morbidity and mortality rates, present a relevant financial burden, and significantly contribute to the antimicrobial resistance ...

Bacterial contamination of complex gastrointestinal endoscopes [PDF]
The worldwide surge of duodenoscope-associated outbreaks since the new millennium show that current reprocessing practices do not guarantee adequately decontaminated endoscopes.

Abstract Ectopic varices are defined as portosystemic venous collaterals occurring in the gastrointestinal tract outside of the cardio‐esophageal region. Duodenal varices are not routinely encountered by pediatric gastroenterologists. At the time of this case report, there are no consensus guidelines on the management of bleeding duodenal varices in ...
