What's new in capsule endoscopy?

Objectives: We report disease outcomes of pediatric Crohn's disease (CD) affecting the proximal small bowel (SB) and detected through video capsule endoscopy (VCE).

Introduction: Colorectal cancer (CRC) poses a significant global health threat, necessitating early detection. Traditional diagnostic tools like optical colonoscopy have limitations prompting our '5G-SUCCEEDS' initiative to explore a novel approach involving remote colon capsule endoscopy (CCE).

Current evidence suggests that the intestine as the new frontier for human health directly impacts both our physical and mental health.

Introduction: Small bowel capsule endoscopy is a first-line examination method for small bowel diseases, which can find small intestinal lumen and mucosal lesions.

Importance: Heyde syndrome is the cooccurrence of aortic stenosis and gastrointestinal bleeding secondary to vascular lesions, including angiodysplasias.

Introduction: Videocapsule endoscopy (VCE) may be a complementary tool in the diagnosis of celiac disease (CD) in cases with equivocal findings and in the follow-up of complicated cases.

A 79 year old female individual presented to the hospital and complained of 1 month melena and anemia due to chronic gastrointestinal bleeding because of cavernous hemangiomatosis of the small bowel.

Background: The diagnostic accuracy of colon capsule endoscopy (CCE) depends on a well-cleansed bowel. Evaluating the cleansing quality can be difficult with a substantial interobserver variation.

A 67-year-old female, without prior medical history, presented to the emergency department due to dizziness and asthenia, where iron deficiency anemia, without visible blood loss, was identified.

Objective: Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) solutions into clinical practice, particularly in the field of video capsule endoscopy (VCE), necessitates the execution of rigorous clinical studies.

Introduction: Deciding which patients with suspected small bowel bleeding (SSB) would benefit most from small bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) is challenging.

Background and aims: Physicians are required to spend a significant amount of reading time of magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy. However, current deep learning models are limited to completing a single recognition task and cannot replicate the diagnostic process of a physician.

Background: Patency capsule (PC) ingestion is commonly used to minimize capsule retention in high-risk patients with Crohn's disease (CD). However, false-positive rates remain high, precluding the use of video capsule endoscopy (VCE).

A 78-year-old male presented to the emergency department with melena. He was hemodynamically stable but displayed a hemoglobin level of 5.8g/dL necessitating blood transfusion.

Background and aims: Small bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) has an established role in patients with non-responsive celiac disease (CeD). A non-invasive method to quantify small bowel atrophy is still lacking.
