Tethered capsule en face optical coherence tomography for imaging Barrett's esophagus in unsedated patients [PDF]
Detection of Barrett's esophagus (BE) at points of care outside the endoscopy suite may improve screening access and reduce esophageal adenocarcinoma mortality. Tethered capsule optical coherence tomography (OCT) can volumetrically image esophageal mucosa and detect BE in unsedated patients.

Muscle degeneration in inguinal hernia specimens. [PDF]
There are few articles in the literature reporting the histological changes of groin structures affected by inguinal hernia. A deeper knowledge of this matter could represent an important step forward in the identification of the causes of hernia ...

Longitudinal detection of radiological abnormalities with time-modulated LSTM [PDF]
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been successfully employed in recent years for the detection of radiological abnormalities in medical images such as plain x-rays. To date, most studies use CNNs on individual examinations in isolation and discard previously available clinical information.

Assessment of Abdominal Muscle's Maximal Force of Contraction Using Surface Emg in Inguinal Hernia Patients [PDF]
Introduction: Reduction in abdominal muscle’s strength has been implicated in the development of inguinal hernia. Patients with inguinal hernia on one side are shown to be at higher risk of developing inguinal hernia on the other side. Aim: To assess

A cadaveric massive strangulated left indirect inguinal hernia [PDF]
Many forms of inguinal hernias have been found to have different contents ranging from abdominal to pelvic organs. A form of inguinal hernia with its contents made up of almost the whole of the small intestine and having a herniating sac as long as 28cm ...

Crossover from reptation to Rouse dynamics in a one-dimensional model [PDF]
A simple one-dimensional model is constructed for polymer motion. It exhibits the crossover from reptation to Rouse dynamics through gradually allowing hernia creation and annihilation. The model is treated by the density matrix technique which permits an accurate finite-size-scaling analysis of the behavior of long polymers.

Left-sided Amyand's hernia in an infant with bilateral inguinal hernia
Amyand's hernia is defined as inguinal hernia in which vermiform appendix is contained in the hernia sac. It is predominantly found on right side due to the anatomical position of the vermiform appendix and left-sided Amyand's hernia is extremely rare ...

Pattern of inguinal hernia in Al- Basra teaching hospital: a prospective clinical study [PDF]
Introduction:Inguinal hernia is the most commonly hernia in both men and women but occurs more common in men. Although there are two basic types of inguinal hernia with differences in anatomy, the etiology, complications, and surgical repair technique of

Gel-Electrophoresis and Diffusion of Ring-Shaped DNA [PDF]
A model for the motion of ring-shaped DNA in a gel is introduced and studied by numerical simulations and a mean-field approximation. The ring motion is mediated by finger-shaped loops (hernias) that move in an amoeba-like fashion around the gel obstructions. This constitutes an extension of previous reptation tube treatments.
