PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Advanced endoscopy procedures are technically challenging and require extensive training. Recent technological advances made in computer science and robotics have the potential to enhance the performance of complex intraluminal and...
Compared with conventional gastroscopy which is invasive and painful, wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) can provide noninvasive examination of gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The WCE video can effectively support physicians to reach a diagnostic decision...
Automatic detection of anatomical landmarks and diseases in medical images is a challenging task which could greatly aid medical diagnosis and reduce the cost and time of investigational procedures. Also, two particular challenges of digital image pr...

OBJECTIVE: To study the absorption and biotransformation of liquiritin, cinnamic acid, paeoniflorin, and glycyrrhizic acid in the Guizhi decoction (GZD) in the gastrointestinal tracts of rats.
Artificial intelligence (AI) using deep-learning (DL) has emerged as a breakthrough computer technology. By the era of big data, the accumulation of an enormous number of digital images and medical records drove the need for the utilization of AI to ...
KEY POINTS: Nausea is an adverse experience characterised by alterations in autonomic and cerebral function. Susceptibility to nausea is difficult to predict, but machine learning has yet to be applied to this field of study. The severity of nausea t...
