Polyp Detection in Human Digestive System Images Mojtaba Akbari [email protected] Date of Submission: 2018/2/5 Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Isfahan University of Technology, Isfahan 84156-83111, Iran Degree: M.Sc. Language: Farsi Supervisor: Dr. S .Samavi, [email protected] Advisor: Dr. N. Karimi, [email protected] Abstract Colorectal cancer is one of the common cancers in the world. Polyps are the main cause of colorectal cancer. Early detection of polyps will increase chance of treatment. In medical imaging systems, especially in digestive systems imaging, cameras carry flash lights and reflection of this light into humid surface of colon will cause specular reflection. In this thesis we proposed adaptive method based on statistical features in both RGB and HSV color space for detection of specular reflections. Our proposed inpainting method has two main stages which in the first stage we select best patch based on our proposed cost function to replace into reflection section and in the second stage we use edge smoothing method to overcome unwanted edges resulting from first stage of inpainting method. We evaluated our proposed method in detection and inapinting of specular reflection on available colon database. Our proposed method reached 99.68% of accuracy which outperforms previous works in detection of specular reflections. The method we proposed for detection of colorectal polyps uses deep convolutional neural network. We also binarized weights of proposed CNN architecture in training phase for hardware implementation in future works. We evaluated our proposed method on colon database and proposed method reached 90.28% of accuracy. Our proposed method for segmentation of colorectal polyp uses Fully Convolutional Network for segmentation of candidate polyp regions and non-linear support vector machine for post process and selecting polyp region between all candidate regions. We also evaluate our proposed method and our segmentation method reached 88.6% of sensitivity which outperforms previous method in segmentation of colorectal polyps in the same database.

Received: 6 August 2020; Accepted: 2 October 2020; Published: 5 October 2020 Abstract: It is known and accepted that the gut microbiota composition of an organism has an impact on its health. Many studies deal with this topic, the majority discussing gastrointestinal health. Adenomatous colon polyps have a high prevalence as colon cancer precursors, but in many cases, they are hard to diagnose in their early stages. Gut microbiota composition correlated with the presence of adenomatous colon polyps may be a noninvasive and eﬃcient tool for diagnosis with a high impact on human wellbeing and favorable health care costs.

Colon Polyps & Cancer Prevention
Colon Polyps & Cancer Prevention Colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in United States. Only lung cancer is more deadly. This year we can expect about 134,000 new cases of colon cancer and 55,000 deaths from colon cancer. The good news is that it is surprisingly easy to significantly lower your risk of this disease. Colon cancer is a malignant growth that occurs on the inner wall of the colon or rectum. It is recognized that colon cancer usually begins many years earlier as a small noncancerous growth called a polyp, which grows on the inner wall of the colon. Polyps arise from genetic mutations in the DNA of the cells that line the colon. All of the risk factors for developing these genetic mutations are not known, but genetics plays an important role. Over time some polyps will grow larger until they develop into colon cancer. Although there are always exceptions, current data suggests that this malignant transformation is slow and may take 10 years or longer. What is a Colon Polyp? A colon polyp is an abnormal tissue growth which arises on the inner surface of the colon. The colon, or large intestine, is six feet long and looks like a hollow pipe with a ribbed inner surface. For many reasons, some individuals grow polyps on the inner wall of the colon. Colon polyps are found in one of two shapes; pedunculated, polyps on stems or stalks that look like mushrooms; or sessile, which are flat and sometimes more difficult to find and remove.

Surgical Management of Polyps in the Treatment of Nasal Airway
Surgical Management of Polyps in the TreatmentofNasal Airway Obstruction Samuel S. Becker, MD KEYWORDS FESS Nasal polyps Sinonasal polyps Polyp treatment Nasal obstruction In addition to their role in chronic rhinosinusitis and nasal congestion, sinonasal polyps are associated with significant nasal obstruction. Via a purely mechanical effect (ie, obstruction at its simplest level), polyps alter and otherwise block the normal flow of air through the nose. Similarly, by blocking the drainage pathways of the paranasal sinuses, sinus inflammation and its associated symptom of congestion occur. Because the pathway that leads to the formation of sinonasal polyps has not been completely elucidated, effective long-term treatments remain difficult to pinpoint. Management of these polyps, therefore, is a difficult challenge for the contemporary otolaryngologist. Some of the more common medical treatment options include: topical and oral steroids; macrolide antibiotics; diuretic nasal washes; and intrapolyp steroid injection. Surgical options include polypectomy and functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). In addition, novel treatments for polyps are introduced with some frequency. This article presents an overview of management options for sino- nasal polyps, focusing on the indications, efficacy, and complications of the more common interventions. DIAGNOSIS AND PREVALENCE OF SINONASAL POLYPS Diagnosis of sinonasal polyps relies primarily on nasal endoscopy, with computed tomography (CT) to evaluate the extent of disease. Although unilateral

Email: [email protected]. Background: Screening colonoscopy is a standard part of the liver transplant (LT) evaluation process. We aimed to evaluate the yield of screening colonoscopy and determine whether non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) was associated with an increased risk of colorectal neoplasia. Methods: We retrospectively assessed all patients who completed LT evaluation at our center between 1/2008-12/2012. Patients <50 years old and those without records of screening colonoscopy, or with greater than average colon cancer risk were excluded. Results: A total of 1,102 patients were evaluated, 591 met inclusion criteria and were analyzed. The mean age was 60 years, 67% were male, 12% had NAFLD and 88% had other forms of chronic liver disease.

In this case report, a 62-year- old woman with a 72-hour history of severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and anorexia presented to our clinic. On physical examination she was tender to palpation and there was direct rebound tenderness and involuntary guarding in the right lower quadrant. The patient was taken for emergency surgery with a diagnosis of acute abdomen. Appendectomy was performed after exploration findings revealed acute appendicitis. Pathological examination reported hyperplastic polyp of the appendix. A total colonoscopic examination was performed due to the association between appendiceal hyperplastic polyps and adenocarcinoma of the large bowel.

We retrospectively evaluated 78 serrated polyps, removed over a 14-year period from 6602 inflammatory bowel disease patients undergoing endoscopic surveillance, with respect to morphologic, clinicopathologic, and molecular features, and compared rates of advanced neoplasia (high-grade dysplasia and carcinoma) development following the index serrated polyp diagnosis to reference inflammatory bowel disease cohorts without serrated polyps. Serrated polyps negative for dysplasia, which morphologically resembled sporadic sessile serrated adenoma/polyps, occurred mainly in females, in the proximal colon, and contained BRAF mutations. Serrated polyps with low-grade dysplasia resembled sporadic traditional serrated adenomas and occurred mainly in males, in the distal colon, and contained KRAS mutations. Serrated polyps indefinite for dysplasia were morphologically heterogeneous, but similar to serrated polyps positive for low-grade dysplasia with respect to male predominance, left-sided location, and KRAS mutation rates.

Polyp Detection Inside the Capsule Endoscopy: an Approach for Power Consumption Reduction
Polyp detection inside the capsule endoscopy: an approach for power consumption reduction M. A. Khorsandi1, N. Karimi1, S. Samavi1,2 1Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Isfahan University of Technology, Isfahan, Iran 2Department of Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, U.S.A. Abstract. Capsule endoscopy is a novel and non-invasive method for diagnosis, which assists gastroenterologists to monitor the digestive track. Although this new technology has many advantages over the conventional endoscopy, there are weaknesses that limits the usage of this technology. Some weaknesses are due to using small-size batteries. Radio transmitter consumes the largest portion of energy; consequently, a simple way to reduce the power consumption is to reduce the data to be transmitted. Many works are proposed to reduce the amount of data to be transmitted consist of specific compression methods and reduction in video resolution and frame rate. We proposed a system inside the capsule for detecting informative frames and sending these frames instead of several non-informative frames. In this work, we specifically focused on hardware friendly algorithm (with capability of parallelism and pipeline) for implementation of polyp detection. Two features of positive contrast and customized edges of polyps are exploited to define whether the frame consists of polyp or not. The proposed method is devoid of complex and iterative structure to save power and reduce the response time. Experimental results indicate acceptable rate of detection of our work. Keywords: Capsule endoscopy, polyp, informative frame. 1 Introduction Wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) is a state of the art invention in the field of medical imaging which is introduced in [1].

Print Options Print | Back English Patient education: Colon polyps (The Basics) Text Graphics Written by the doctors and editors at UpToDate What are colon polyps? Colon polyps are tiny growths that form on the inside of the large intestine (also known as the colon) (figure 1). Polyps are very common. Roughly one-third to one-half of all adults have them by the time they are 50 years old. They do not usually cause symptoms. But some polyps can be or become cancer, so doctors sometimes remove them. What are the symptoms of colon polyps? Colon polyps do not usually cause symptoms. How do doctors find colon polyps? Doctors usually find colon polyps when they are doing screening tests to check for colon or rectal cancer. Cancer screening tests are tests that are done to try and find cancer early, before a person has symptoms. The screening tests for colon and rectal cancer include: ● Colonoscopy – Before having a colonoscopy, you will get medicine to help you relax. Then a doctor will put a thin tube into your anus and advance it into your colon (figure 2). The tube has a camera attached to it, so the doctor can look inside your colon. The tube also has tools on the end, so the doctor can remove pieces of tissue, including polyps. After polyps are removed, they usually go to a lab to be tested for cancer and other problems. ● Sigmoidoscopy – A sigmoidoscopy is very similar to a colonoscopy.

Giant Adenomatous Polyp of Stomach: Case Report of a Rare Tumor with Unusual Features
Published online: 2019-09-26 Case Report Giant adenomatous polyp of stomach: Case report of a rare tumor with unusual features Sharmila Dudani, Kavita Sahai, Rathi KR, Ritu Mehta Department of Pathology, Army College of Medical Sciences and Base Hospital, Delhi Cantonment, Delhi, India Abstract Adenomatous polyps of the stomach are rare tumors and comprise <10% of gastric polyps. They are usually located in the antrum and arise in a background of chronic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia. These tend to remain asymptomatic, but do carry significant risk of malignant change wherein underlies their importance. The magnitude of the risk of malignancy is not precisely defined, but is considered to be in the range of 5-15%, which increases with the size of the tumor. In this case report, we would like to highlight a large adenoma of stomach measuring 9 cm. This is the first case to the best of our knowledge to have attained such a huge dimension without any associated gastric pathology. Since synchronous carcinomas are known to exist in a large percentage of adenomas greater than 4 cm in size, this association should be kept in mind by both the gastroenterologist and pathologist so that any focus of malignancy if present, is not advertently missed. Key words Adenomatous polyp, giant, stomach Introduction Case Report Adenomatous polyps of the stomach are uncommon tumors, A 52-year female presented with abdominal pain and comprising only 7-10% of all gastric polyps.[1] These appear nonspecific abdominal discomfort of 6 months duration. She as velvety exophytic masses that are sessile or broad-based, had no other complaints.
