Juvenile polyposis in a SMAD4‐mutated child: A call for early surveillance

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract We report the case of a 10‐year‐old boy with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) and a family history of SMAD4‐related juvenile polyposis syndrome (JPS), presenting with hypoferritinaemia unresponsive to oral supplementation. Endoscopic evaluation revealed multiple gastrointestinal polyps, including duodenal, gastric, and colonic ...

Capsule Endoscopy as a Diagnostic Tool for Inflammatory Bowel Disease in a Patient with Multiple Myeloma

The Indonesian Journal of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Digestive Endoscopy
Capsule endoscopy is an important tool for minimally invasive evaluation of the small bowel, allowing improved diagnostic yield with low complication rates relative to traditional modalities. Here, we present the first case of inflammatory bowel disease (

Slow Transit Constipation: Pathophysiological Perspectives and Management Updates

Journal of Digestive Diseases, EarlyView.
Slow transit constipation (STC) is a complex neuromuscular disorder driven by interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) loss and enteric neuropathy. Diagnosis relies on objective transit testing while excluding pelvic floor dysfunction. Management follows a stepwise, phenotype‐driven approach, progressing from conventional laxatives to emerging targeted ...

The Role of Video Capsule Endoscopy in Hereditary Polyposis Syndromes: A Narrative Review

Diagnostics
Video Capsule Endoscopycapsule endoscopy (VCE) has emerged as a minimally invasive diagnostic tool for detecting and monitoring small bowel involvement in polyposis syndromes. VCE is included in the surveillance guidelines of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome.

Colon Capsule Endoscopy: Detection of Colonic Polyps Compared with Conventional Colonoscopy and Visualization of Extracolonic Pathologies

Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2014
BACKGROUND: Conventional colonoscopy (CC) is the gold standard for diagnostic examination of the colon. However, the overall acceptance of this procedure is low due to patient fears of complications or embarrassment.

Length of the Adult Human Colon in Health and Constipation Measured Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
Colon length was measured in adult healthy volunteers, people with chronic constipation, and people with IBS with constipation using MRI. Colon length is significantly longer in chronic constipation. The chronically constipated colon is unable to accommodate longitudinally in response to fluid influx from a macrogol challenge.

Effect of Linaclotide on Colonic Motility Assessed With Intraluminal Colonic High‐Resolution Manometry in Healthy Subjects. An Acute, Open Label, Randomized, Crossover, Reader‐Blinded Study

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
Our study showed that, in healthy controls, acute administration of linaclotide increased the total number of long‐distance propagating and the pre‐prandial pancolonic pressurizations. Further studies need to address whether the observed effects are directly or indirectly mediated by the mechanism of action of this useful medication to treat chronic ...

A Review of Vagus Nerve Stimulation for Disease: Comprehensive Theory and Evidence for Mechanisms of Action

Comprehensive Physiology, Volume 16, Issue 2, April 2026.
Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) effects span central and peripheral organ systems through diverse mechanistic pathways. This comprehensive review provides a unified synthesis of these mechanisms across neurological, cardiovascular, immunological, metabolic, and gastrointestinal domains, filling a critical gap and serving as a foundational resource for ...
