Background/aims: Optimization of bowel preparation for small bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) is debated. Guidelines recommend 2 L of iso-osmolar polyethylene glycol (PEG) to improve SBCE visibility. We compared the efficacy of the standard 2 L PEG solution with a 1 L PEG plus ascorbate (PEG-ASC) preparation, which has already been established for large-bowel preparation.

Introduction: We assessed corn oil's oral effectiveness in detecting small bowel changes in healthy dogs through ultrasonography, endoscopy, and histopathology. We hypothesize that corn oil ingestion will not significantly increase the visibility of lymphatics and lacteals in healthy dogs.

Methods: Five healthy male beagles were studied under institutional guidelines.

Climate change due to sustained carbon dioxide (CO) emissions poses a serious threat to human existence, such as extreme weather events that must be addressed in all sectors of society. Gastrointestinal endoscopy is a healthcare sector that produces high levels of CO emissions. Colonoscopy (CS) is the gold standard for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening that reduces the number of CRC-related deaths.

Background: Capsule endoscopy (CE) is a pivotal diagnostic tool for gastrointestinal (GI) disorders, yet capsule retention poses a significant risk, especially in patients with known risk factors. The patency capsule (PC) helps assess the functional patency of the GI tract to mitigate this risk. However, the standard 28-hour protocol for confirming patency often results in high false-positive rates, unnecessarily excluding many patients from undergoing diagnostic CE.

Background: Wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) has become an important noninvasive and portable tool for diagnosing digestive tract diseases and has been propelled by advancements in medical imaging technology. However, the complexity of the digestive tract structure, and the diversity of lesion types, results in different sites and types of lesions distinctly appearing in the images, posing a challenge for the accurate identification of digestive tract diseases.

Aim: To propose a deep learning-based lesion detection model to automatically identify and accurately label digestive tract lesions, thereby improving the diagnostic efficiency of doctors, and creating significant clinical application value.
