Endoscopic findings in patients with Shwachman–Diamond syndrome: A report from the North American Shwachman–Diamond syndrome registry

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Shwachman–Diamond syndrome (SDS) is an inherited bone marrow failure disorder, and its endoscopic phenotype is poorly defined. We sought to characterize endoscopic findings in patients with genetically confirmed SDS. Methods Retrospective registry study of 45 patients with biallelic Shwachman–Bodian–Diamond syndrome mutations and ...

Additional lateral meniscus centralization reduces residual anterolateral rotatory instability after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and lateral meniscus repair

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose This study aimed to examine the effects of lateral meniscus (LM) centralization on anterolateral rotational stability in patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and LM injuries. The hypothesis was that performing LM repair and centralization on knees with LM lesions would control anterolateral rotatory instability (ALRI ...

Highlight Removal From Wireless Capsule Endoscopy Images

IEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine
Mirror reflections and highlights are commonly observed in images captured by wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE), leading to image blurring or distortion, which increases the difficulty for doctors to observe and analyze gastrointestinal images.

Imaging Fluorophore-Labelled Intestinal Tissue via Fluorescence Endoscope Capsule

Proceedings, 2018
The authors have developed a wireless fluorescence imaging capsule endoscope, potentially capable of detecting early signs of disease in the human intestine which can be missed by white-light imaging (WLI) capsule endoscopy (Figure 1).
