BACKGROUND/AIMS: Diagnostic miss rate and time consumption are the two challenging limitations of small‑bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE). In this study, we aimed to know whether using of the blue mode (BM) combined with QuickView (QV) at a high reviewing speed could influence SBCE interpretation and accuracy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Seventy CE procedures were totally reviewed in 4 different ways; (1) ... Read more

JCBN Summary There is limited data about the mucosal lesions of portal hypertensive enteropathy (PHE) detected by capsule endoscopy, and there is no scoring system to evaluate their severity. Our aim is to create a reliable scoring system for PHE, and to explore the possible usefulness of using transient elastograhy (TE) in that field. We compared the medical records of ... Read more

Background: There is limited data about the mucosal lesions of portal hypertensive enteropathy (PHE) detected by capsule endoscopy (CE), and there is no scoring system to evaluate their severity To date, there are no published studies showing the association between PHE and transient elastograhy (TE). Objective: To better define the mucosal abnormalities of PHE their prevalence, and their association with ... Read more

capsule endoscopy opened a new chapter in the study of small bowel diseases allowing, finally, to cross the frontier of the endoscopic examination of the small bowel. However, the global miss rate of capsule endoscopy is about 11%. To date, there no study showed the difference between the blue mode and normal mode (while light) in diagnosis of small bowel ...

Background and Aim: There is limited data about the frequency, and characteristics small-bowel lesions in cirrhotic patients with portal hypertension (PHT) detected by capsule endoscopy (CE) as well as, there is no scoring system to evaluate their severity. To date, there is no published study showed the association between portal hypertensive enteropathy (PHE) and transient elastography (TE). The objective of ... Read more
