Direct visualization of drug behaviors in the upper GI tract via magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy [PDF]
Actual behaviors of drugs in the upper GI tract are not well elucidated. We assess the feasibility of magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy (MCE) in direct and real-time visualization of oral drug behaviors in the stomach.From November 2019 to December 2019, 9 patients with a recent history of upper GI symptoms and 10 healthy volunteers were ...

Improvising in Endoscopy: Endoscopic Removal of Sharp Foreign Bodies in the Upper GI Tract, Using a Handmade Protective Device [PDF]
Introduction. Foreign body ingestion is a common problem in large-volume endoscopic departments. Several techniques and devices have been described for the safe endoscopic removal of these objects. However, these devices may not be suitable in every clinical setting or—as in our case—they may not even be available. Case Presentation. We report the case

Background: Upper gastrointestinal bleeding occurs in the lumen from the proximal section of the Treitz ligament. Furthermore, it is divided into variceal and non-variceal bleeding based on the etiology. The risk factors include age, smoking, alcohol, portal hypertension, hepatitis, and medications. Upper GI bleeding manifests as hematemesis and melena.

Introduction Capsule endoscopy might be a suitable non-invasive method to identify patients with suspected upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding who need hospital admission and endoscopic therapy. Method Stable patients with suspected upper GI bleeding were recruited. After swallowing 1L water with simethicone, MACE was performed using a Mirocam Navi

MAGNIFICATION ENDOSCOPY IN THE UPPER GI TRACT [PDF]
Magnification endoscopy in conjunction with chromoendoscopy provides additional valuable and detailed information with respect to mucosal morphology. The most promising indications include the depiction and staging of squamous cell cancer of the esophagus, the potential to identify neoplasia within Barrett's esophagus, and the demarcation of early ...
