A Wireless Soft Optical Blood Sensor for Colonoscopy
This works presents an “add‐on” wireless soft optical blood sensor for the traditional colonoscopy. It can reliably detect bleeding behind the colonoscope's distal tip camera via optical absorption, without optical fibers, and wirelessly transmit data to the processor.

The human colon: Evidence for degenerative changes during aging and the physiological consequences
Reduced nociceptor innervation can explain diminished abdominal pain among the elderly. Degenerative changes occur within the colon wall, especially ascending colon. Mechanisms may include senescence‐like activity and inflammaging. Constipation is more likely to occur during age‐related challenges affecting functions of the bowel that now have reduced ...
