Although nephrotoxic medication after transplantation is a major cause for posttransplant renal insufficiency, it remains unclear why kidney dysfunction is particularly frequent after intestinal transplantation.
Methods: This study analyzed messenger RNA expression of NHE3, DRA, and CFTR in 404 biopsies obtained between day 2 and 1508 from the terminal ileum of 10 adult intestinal transplant recipients.
Objective: To describe the accuracy and precision of a size estimation in wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) and to develop a simple device that facilitates learning of an exact size estimation in WCE.
Design: A prospective study with an animal model. Seventy-five medical students were compared with 21 physicians not performing WCEs and 21 experts actively performing WCEs.
