Endoscopic Procedures III: Video Capsule Endoscopy

Endoscopic Procedures III: Video Capsule Endoscopy

Capsule endoscopy, or wireless or video capsule endoscopy, is a diagnostic procedure for examining the entire gastrointestinal tract. Patients swallow a capsule about the size of a vitamin tablet. The capsule is equipped with a transmitter, a battery, an LED light source, and a color video camera to capture images throughout the gastrointestinal tract. This procedure is particularly useful for diagnosing conditions such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, tumors, polyps, ulcers, unexplained...

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment

Angle-closure glaucoma, or closed-angle glaucoma, is an eye condition where the iris bulges out and blocks the iridocorneal angle, resulting in a buildup of aqueous humor and increased intraocular pressure. Immediate medical attention is necessary due to the sudden onset of symptoms. The treatment for angle-closure glaucoma includes short-term and long-term approaches. Short-term treatment involves using eye drops like pilocarpine to lower intraocular pressure by increasing aqueous humor...

Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

Sigmoidoscopy and laparoscopy are distinct medical procedures that enable physicians to internally inspect different parts of the GI tract. Although they serve different purposes, each is essential for diagnosing and, in some cases, treating various medical conditions.
Sigmoidoscopy
Sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that uses a flexible sigmoidoscope equipped with a light source and camera to examine the rectum and sigmoid colon. The procedure involves inserting the tube through the anus...

Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

An Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is a diagnostic procedure in which an endoscopist uses a flexible, lighted endoscope to visualize the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The procedure includes visualizing the oropharynx, esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine, the duodenum.
During an EGD, the endoscope can be used to:

Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Medical Imaging

Background:

Fundus photography is crucial for diagnosing pediatric eye conditions.
Existing methods like Retcam TM or video indirect ophthalmoscopes are specialized and costly.
Imaging infants and uncooperative children presents unique challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe a technique for converting a standard digital video camera into a functional video indirect ophthalmoscope.
To enable accessible fundus imaging using readily available equipment.

Main Methods:

Modification of a digital video camera to function as a video indirect ophthalmoscope.
Utilizing the converted device for fundus imaging in infants and young children.

Main Results:

Successful adaptation of a digital video camera for indirect ophthalmoscopy.
Demonstrated feasibility of obtaining fundus images with the modified device.
Identified a learning curve and the inability to perform scleral depression as limitations.

Conclusions:

A converted digital video camera can serve as a cost-effective tool for fundus imaging in pediatric patients.
This technique democratizes access to essential ophthalmic imaging for infants and children.
Further refinement may be needed to overcome limitations and enhance clinical utility.
