Mesenteric thrombosis: An unusual complication of severe acute pancreatitis—Report of two cases

Advances in Digestive Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract The incidence of acute pancreatitis is 34 per 100 000 people in the general population and is on the rise. Approximately 15% to 20% of all patients experience severe pancreatitis, with a mortality rate nearing 20%. This condition is often linked to vascular complications, although mesenteric thrombosis is a rare presentation.

Endoscopy training in Australia during COVID‐19: Efficacy and knowledge assessment of gastroenterology and general surgery trainees

JGH Open, Volume 6, Issue 12, Page 869-875, December 2022., 2022
During COVID‐19, restrictions to elective procedures were introduced worldwide. Our study aimed to assess Australian advanced Gastroenterology and General Surgery trainees' self‐perceived efficacy and knowledge in endoscopy during the pandemic. We have found that although self‐efficacy in endoscopic diagnostic procedures was achieved for most trainees,

Novel imaging revealing inner dynamics for cardiovascular waveform analysis via unsupervised manifold learning [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Cardiovascular waveforms contain information for clinical diagnosis. By "learning" and organizing the subtle change of waveform morphology from large amounts of raw waveform data, unsupervised manifold learning helps delineate a high-dimensional structure and display it as a novel three-dimensional (3D) image.
