Objective: Small bowel preparation for capsule endoscopy remains controversial. This study was conducted to compare the efficacy of 2 and 4 l of polyethylene glycol.
Methods: One hundred and one patients (group A) received 2 l and 100 (group B) received 4 l in a prospective, randomized single-blind trial.

Three methods of esophagoscopy are available until now: sedated conventional endoscopy, unsedated ultrathin endoscopy, and esophageal capsule endoscopy. The three methods carry comparable diagnostic accuracy and different complication rates. Although all of them have been found well accepted from patients, no comparative study comprising the three techniques has been published.

Introduction: Data on small bowel abnormalities in patients with portal hypertension (PHT) are limited. Bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract and anemia are common complications in these patients. Capsule endoscopy (CE) was used to evaluate small bowel (SB) pathology in patients with PHT and anemia, and possible associations with various parameters were examined.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to examine how effective wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) is at identifying small bowel issues in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) experiencing obscure bleeding.
- Researchers compared 17 CRF patients with obscure bleeding to 51 patients with normal kidney function, finding that a higher percentage of CRF patients had positive small bowel findings (70.6% vs. 41.2%).
- The results indicated that small bowel angiodysplasia was more common in CRF patients, suggesting that WCE should be integrated into diagnostic procedures for these patients to help guide treatment options.
