Endoscopic Procedures III: Video Capsule Endoscopy01:28

Endoscopic Procedures III: Video Capsule Endoscopy

1.2K
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,...

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

5.4K
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a diagnostic procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat conditions related to the bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, and gallbladder. This procedure is beneficial for identifying and addressing blockages, gallstones, strictures, and tumors within the biliary or pancreatic systems. ERCP is both diagnostic and therapeutic, offering the ability to visualize and treat identified problems in one session.

Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis

1.9K
Thoracentesis(Thoracocentesis), commonly known as pleural tap, is a medical procedure where a 22 gauge needle is inserted into the pleural space, the area between the lung and chest wall. This procedure is commonly performed to diagnose or treat various respiratory disorders.
Description
Excess pleural fluid or air may accumulate in some respiratory disorders in the thoracic cavity. To treat pleural effusion, a physician conducts thoracentesis by carefully piercing the chest wall and entering...

Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

1.9K
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:

Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

1.0K
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...

Cephalic Phase of Digestion01:24

Cephalic Phase of Digestion

4.5K
The process of digestion is composed of three stages – cephalic, gastric, and intestinal – each with a distinct control center. The cephalic phase is the first stage, and it starts even before the food enters the stomach. It is controlled by the central nervous system and is initiated by any food-related sensory stimuli, such as the sight and smell of food, which send signals to the brain. While eating, the taste receptors intensify these signals, which travel to the cerebral cortex...

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Maternal-Fetal Medicine

Background:

  • Breech presentation complicates approximately 3-4% of term pregnancies.
  • External cephalic version (ECV) is a procedure to manually turn a fetus from breech to cephalic presentation before labor.
  • Successful ECV can increase the likelihood of a vaginal birth.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the obstetric outcomes of external cephalic version (ECV) performed at or near term.
  • To identify factors influencing the success or failure of ECV.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective study of 145 pregnant women with breech presentation undergoing ECV by a single obstetrician.
  • Maternal and fetal variables were assessed before ECV.
  • Delivery outcomes were collected post-procedure.

Main Results:

  • The overall success rate for ECV was 71.0% (103 out of 145).
  • Parity, amniotic fluid index, fetal spine position, and rotational direction were correlated with ECV success.
  • Among 83 women with successful ECV, cesarean delivery rates were 18.1% overall, 28.9% for nulliparas, and 5.3% for multiparas.

Conclusions:

  • External cephalic version (ECV) is a safe and valuable procedure for mothers and fetuses.
  • ECV significantly increases the probability of vaginal delivery in women presenting with breech at term.
