AI Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated how effective capsule endoscopy is for spotting foreign objects in the stomachs of healthy dogs, focusing on different numbers of objects and stomach conditions.
- Five beagle dogs were given safe, artificial foreign items, and the resulting images were analyzed by both veterinarians and laypeople.
- The findings showed that capsule endoscopy had a high overall sensitivity of 99.1% and specificity of 90.4%, indicating it’s a useful method for detecting stomach foreign bodies, especially in cases where traditional methods fall short.*
Article Abstract
Introduction: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of capsule endoscopy in detecting gastric foreign bodies in normal dogs, considering variations in the number of foreign bodies and the gastric environment.
Methods: Five healthy male beagles were administered virtual, non-harmful foreign objects that maintained their shape in the stomach. Capsule endoscopy was performed and the images were evaluated by veterinarians and non-veterinarians.
Results: The overall sensitivity and specificity of capsule endoscopy were 99.1 and 90.4%, respectively. Sensitivity and specificity were comparable between veterinarians and non-veterinarians. Sensitivity and specificity in the veterinarian group were 98.7 and 91.2%, respectively, whereas those in the non-veterinarian group were 100 and 88.5%, respectively.
Discussion: Capsule endoscopy is a valuable alternative diagnostic tool for identifying foreign bodies in the stomach, particularly in challenging cases in which conventional imaging or invasive approaches have limitations.

The Utility of Patency Capsule in Patients With Crohn's Disease.
J Clin Gastroenterol
October 2024
Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center, Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, FL.
Background: Video capsule retention is a complication that can have serious consequences in patients with Crohn's disease (CD). The patency capsule was developed to detect small bowel strictures. The usefulness of patency capsules in patients who do not have evidence of small bowel disease on imaging is uncertain.

Background The utility of small bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) in the inpatient setting is controversial due to retention rates and costs. Aim This study aims to evaluate whether using SBCE significantly improved the identification of potential bleeding sites or reduced the risk of 30-day readmission for overt or occult gastrointestinal bleeding. Methods This was a single-center retrospective cohort study involving inpatients who underwent SBCE at a suburban tertiary care hospital from January 1, 2012, to January 1, 2022, for suspected small bowel bleeding.

Background: Polyarteritis nodosa is a relatively uncommon type of systemic necrotizing vasculitis that primarily affects medium-sized arteries. While gastrointestinal involvement is known in polyarteritis nodosa, heavy gastrointestinal bleeding due to gastric ulceration is relatively uncommon. We present the case of an 81-year-old male of Chinese ethnicity who experienced severe gastrointestinal bleeding as a result of polyarteritis nodosa and an innovative treatment approach for a better patient outcomes.

Background: Small bowel video capsule endoscopy (SB-VCE) assesses mucosal inflammation in Crohn's disease (CD), while intestinal ultrasound (IUS) examines transmural involvement. We aimed to correlate SB-VCE with IUS in evaluating active CD and monitoring treatment response over time.
Methods: Patients with active SB-CD who initiated biologics were prospectively followed with fecal calprotectin (FC), SB-VCE, and IUS at baseline and after 14 and 52 weeks.
Endoscopic Approaches for Managing Small Intestinal Disease.

The endoscopic evaluation and management of small intestinal diseases continue to evolve and expand. The advent of small bowel wireless capsule endoscopy and deep enteroscopy with either a double- or single-balloon enteroscope now allows complete endoscopic visualization of the entire small intestine and enables access for endoscopic interventions such as biopsies or hemostasis for most of the small bowel. New endoscopic techniques are available to treat proximal malignant small bowel obstruction, including intraluminal stents and endoscopic gastrojejunal stents.
