Filter by:This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and safety of DS-MCE with a novel way for complete examination in UGI tract and small bowel, compared with EGD.
The investigators aim to explore the feasibility of MCE in direct, real-time visualization of drug behavior in upper-gastrointestinal tract, which presented by the adhesion, distribution, and dissipation characteristics of dyed sucralfate gel.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the performance of real-time auxiliary system based on artificial intelligence algorithm in lesion detection and quality control in magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy.
The aim of our study was to demonstrate the efficacy and feasibility of the medical consortium for screening upper gastrointestinal cancers with magnetically controlled capsule gastroscopy.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical application of the second-generation MCCG with higher image resolution and frame rate for upper gastrointestinal tract compared with the first-generation.
Video capsule endoscopy (VCE) is a noninvasive diagnostic tool used to assess the small bowel pathology. The diagnostic value of VCE is mostly dependent on the cleanliness of the colon. Investigators are aimed to prospectively assess the quality of bowel preparation in pediatric patients receiving short peptide diet versus those receiving liquid diet.
Video capsule endoscopy (VCE) has become an established technique to investigate the presence of small bowel pathology. But the limited battery life of capsules can lead to incomplete small bowel visualization. There is a rationale to use prokinetic agents prior to VCE reduce the chances of an incomplete small bowel examination via decrease gastric transit time (GTT). Investigators are aimed to prospectively compare the completion rate of VCE in pediatric patients receiving prokinetic with those receiving no prokinetic.
Patients referred for magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy (MCE) in the participating center from June 2017 to November 2017 were prospectively enrolled. Magnetic steering of MCE was performed after standard gastric examination. Capsule endoscopy completion rate (CECR), gastric transit time (GTT), pyloric transit time (PTT) and rapid gastric transit rate (GTT ≤ 30 min) were compared with the historical control group enrolled from January 2017 to May 2017.
The research continuously enrolled 100 patients undergone MCCG between May to December 2017 as the intervention group with magnetic steering of capsule in the pylorus and duodenum, and randomly selected 100 patients before May 2017 from the database as the control group with passive movement of the capsule. The difference of the pyloric transit time (PTT) and duodenal papilla detection rate (DPDR) between the two groups were compared, and related factors were also investigated.
The introduction of video capsule endoscopy in 2000 has provided a convenient and minimally invasive imaging method for the whole small bowel. Capsule Endoscopy is used to investigate a number of conditions such as obscure gastrointestinal bleeding, iron deficiency anaemia, inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, small bowel tumors, and hereditary polyposis syndromes. However, Capsule Endoscopy capsules are not able to suction fluid or wash the intestine, thus making it susceptible to decreased visualization quality and diagnostic yield due to dark intestinal contents or air bubbles. In order to determine the best method for bowel preparation before Capsule Endoscopy, this study seeks to determine in patients undergoing small intestine Capsule Endoscopy if split dose Polyethylene Glycol or single morning dose of Polyethylene Glycol have a benefit in Visualisation quality when compared to clear fluids only. A co-primary outcome will also be the diagnostic yield, as measured by the aggregate of all the active preparation groups compared to than clear fluids only group. Secondary outcome measures will include tolerance of preparations, cleanliness as assessed by a validated 4 point scale, distal small bowel visualization (the last 1/4 of small bowel examination by time) and small bowel transit time (measured as time from first duodenal image to first cecal image). Adult outpatients referred for small bowel video capsule endoscopy will be considered for the study and this will run in the clinical environment as per routine. Patients will have been referred for capsule endoscopy as per normal clinical practice so not additional procedure will take place. Patients will be randomly assigned to in a one to one fashion to one of three groups in order to explore whether bowel preparation (either as a single or divided dose) produce better cleansing and diagnostic yield than no preparation at all in small bowel capsule endoscopy.
