Protecting the esophagus from thermal injury during radiofrequency ablation with an esophageal cooling device. [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Atrial Fibrillation, 2019
We sought to quantify the capabilities of a commercially available cooling device to protect the esophagus from RF injury in an animal model and develop a mathematical model to describe the system and provide a framework from which to advance this technology.A series of ablations (10 W, duration 30-45 seconds) were performed directly on exposed swine ...

miR-24-3p regulates CDX2 during intestinalization of cardiac-type epithelium in a human model of Barrett's esophagus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Cardiac-type epithelium has been proposed as the precursor of intestinal metaplasia in the development of Barrett's esophagus. Dysregulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) and their effects on CDX2 expression may contribute to intestinalization of cardiac-type ...

Endoluminal Cooling of the Esophagus during Percutaneous Thermal Ablation for Juxtaesophageal Liver Neoplasm: Two Cases

open access: yes, 2021
Thermal injury to the surrounding hollow organs should be avoided during thermal ablation therapy. Although this type of injury is rare, severe complications, such as perforation or stricture, have been reported.

When did the esophagus start shrinking? the history of the short esophagus

open access: yes, 2009
P>Even though the history of this condition extends for almost 100 years, the short esophagus (SE) is still one of the most controversial topics in esophageal surgery with its existence still denied by some distinguished surgeons.

Microfluidic Gratings for X‐Ray Phase Contrast Imaging

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This work establishes a new protocol for the fabrication of X‐ray gratings that exploits the advantages of microfluidics and enables a more inexpensive, faster, and scalable production process. These X‐ray devices are fundamental for implementing X‐ray phase contrast imaging (XPCI) in laboratory and clinical settings, yet their costly and complex ...
