For training deep learning algorithms in medical imaging, application-specific data is often scarce…

Introduction: Shifts towards high-fat, low-fiber diets, may contribute to the rising incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). In mice high-fat diet promotes EAC, possibly through effects on the gut microbiome and the systemic bile acid pool…

BACKGROUND: Using EsoCheck (EC), a non-endoscopic balloon device for sampling the distal esophagus, coupled with EsoGuard (EG), a DNA based testing screening for Barrett’s esophagus (BE), we have previously reported high sensitivity and specificity for detection of BE among patients with known BE c…

Current risk stratification of Barrett's esophagus (BE) patients, based on histological identification of dysplasia, lacks reliability due to poor interobserver agreement and the limited predictive value of low-grade dysplasia (LGD)…

INTRODUCTION: The goal of Barrett’s esophagus (BE) surveillance is to detect dysplasia and esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) at early, treatable stages…
