The PillBot System is an endoscopic capsule imaging system intended for visualization of the stomach. In contrast to currently used passive capsule endoscopy systems, and FDA cleared active magnetic system, the PillBot System uses active, motorized propulsion technology to facilitate the navigation and positioning of the capsule within the stomach anatomy for imaging of the gastric mucosa by an operator
Endoscopy is the diagnostic modality for most gastroduodenal diseases. During endoscopy mucus and foam may actually interfere with the visibility of the stomach mucosa. So the mixture of mucolytic ( N-acetyl cysteine) and anti-foaming agents ( simethicone) agents may disperse the bubbles and mucus in the stomach and enhance gastric visibility. This unique combination drink given 20-30 minutes prior to endoscopy is absolutely safe. There are previous studies from India, which was retrospective study. So, we have planned to conduct this randomized controlled trial on this issue. Adult patients undergoing diagnostic endoscopy will be randomized and one group (100 patients) will be given the combination drink whereas another group 9100 patients) will undergo an endoscopy after overnight fasting only, as a placebo drink may actually hamper the endoscopic visibility. Our primary outcome, gastric visibility will be assessed using a standard visibility scoring system.
The purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy, safety and usability of perioperative fully-automated closed-loop insulin delivery versus standard insulin therapy in patients with diabetes other than type 1 diabetes undergoing elective major abdominal surgery.
Magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy (MCE) is now widely used all over the world. However, the standard gastric preparation method by dimethicone we used clinically still has mucus at the bottom of the stomach. In this study, we aimed to determine whether pronase granules is helpful to improve the cleanliness of gastric mucosa in MCE.
Magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy (MCE) is a noninvasive technique (90.4% sensitivity, 94.7% specificity and 93.4% accuracy) without requiring sedation or air insufflation, which makes it welcomed by most of participants. However, due to the large size of the stomach, clear views are obtained with the stomach distended. Participants were asked to drink 1000ml water for gastric preparation in a short time according to the standard procesure. It is hard for some participants especially the old and can cause discomfort. If the capsule stays in the stomach for a long time (>4 hours), it will affect the completion rate of small intestine examination and be inconvient to both of the endoscopist and patient. It is a promising way to fill the stomach with carbonated drinks in some diagnosis and treatment methods. A study using carbonated drinks for gastric filling in the procedure of multi slice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) showed higher diagnostic rate for gastric cancer (85%VS80%). Rapid filling and absorption, greater comfort feeling and little pressure changes lead to higher acceptance of participants. So, researchers have a novel idea using soda water to take place of pure water in the gastric preparation. The combination of gas and liquid in gastric filling greatly reduces the amount of fluid that participants need to drink, which makes the shorter preparation time and less feeling of fullness. In a pilot study before, investigators found the usage of soda water obtained similar gastric distention score and shorter gastric transit time (GTT) than standard preparation method. This prospective, single blind, randomized controlleds trial aimed to prove the safety and efficiency of soda water in the process of gastric preparation and explore the impact on the follow-up small bowel examination.
Investigators aimed to present the patients who underwent laparoscopic gastrectomy with transoral specimen extraction.
This is a randomized controlled trial to comparing the different simethicone administration strategies for esophagogastroscopy. Recent studies have indicated that the administration of simethicone before endoscopic examination could shorten the procedure time and improve the diagnostic rate of the gastric mucosal lesions. But the time interval between simethicone administration and the examination has not been fully determined. This study will test whether the time of taking simethicone before endoscopy could influence the performance of the procedure in a randomized controlled trial. The results may benefit the current clinical practice.
The aim is to evaluate the initial experience for the indications and outcomes of EUS in Tanta university hospital.
Number of patients with unsatisfactory pain relief defined as average visual analog scale (VAS) more than 5 with or without requirement of IVPCA for pain relief during the first 48 hours postoperative period will be compared between the two groups and form the primary outcome for the study. Postoperative pain intensity will be measured by Visual Analog Scale (VAS) with 0- being no pain and 10-being maximum pain and the analgesic efficacy in both groups will also be evaluated by the amount of total narcotic consumption (measured with IV morphine equivalent doses of analgesics used to provide pain relief).
