Capsule endoscopy has revolutionized the investigation of small intestinal pathology with an increasing repertoire of indications. We present the first reported case of an aspirated capsule presenting after a long asymptomatic period that was removed with no permanent pulmonary sequelae. This report highlights a cohort of patients who could be susceptible to this rare complication. The report also encourages the development of local/national guidelines to investigate misplaced/lost capsules during the procedure.

An incomplete discoid lateral meniscus is often associated with radial tears, which cause meniscal extrusion and result in poor healing outcomes. Centralization has recently been used as a surgical method to reduce extrusion. However, various repair techniques use single point of fixation sutures exclusively on the femoral side, potentially hindering healing.

Background: Capsule endoscopy (CE) is widely used for intestinal examination; however, capsule aspiration into the airway is a serious complication that requires urgent intervention. We present a management case report and review 39 cases from 2003 to 2023, providing insights into the prevention and treatment of capsule aspiration.
Case Presentation: A 69-year-old man with chronic bronchitis and emphysema presented with 7 months of intermittent melena.
Arthroscopic Reconstruction of the Acetabular Labrum Using an Autograft Hip Capsule.

Sports Medicine Center, Department of Orthopaedics, Massachusetts General Hospital, Mass General Brigham, Boston, Massachusetts.
Background: Whereas uncomplicated labral tears with preserved fibers can be effectively treated with use of labral repair techniques, complex tears and hypoplastic labra require labral reconstruction. Standard reconstruction techniques feature grafted tissue that is added to existing, deficient tissue or that is utilized to replace a hypoplastic labrum entirely. However, such approaches utilizing allografts or remote autografts are limited because they often necessitate extensive debridement of the existing labrum to prepare a site for graft implantation, an approach that can damage and devascularize the chondrolabral junction.

Background: There is a large unmet need for alternative, non-invasive, and accurate diagnosis of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). The smart capsule bacterial detection system (SCBDS) device contains a targeted sampling technology and an onboard SCBDS assay to detect metabolically active bacteria in the small intestine. Here, we evaluated the agreement of SCBDS assay with duodenal aspiration/culture ex vivo in a multicenter clinical study.
