Endoscopic Procedures III: Video Capsule Endoscopy01:28

Endoscopic Procedures III: Video Capsule Endoscopy

502
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

1.8K
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 Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

599
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:

Esophageal Perforation-II: Clinical Manifestations and Management

292
Esophageal perforations manifest in various clinical forms, influenced by factors such as the perforation's cause and location (cervical, intrathoracic, or intra-abdominal), the extent of contamination, and potential injury to adjacent mediastinal structures. The timing between the perforation occurrence and treatment initiation also affects the clinical presentation.
Clinical Manifestations:

Phagocytosis00:41

Phagocytosis

7.3K
Cells pull particles inward and engulf them in spherical vesicles in an energy-requiring process called endocytosis. Phagocytosis ("cellular eating") is one of three major types of endocytosis. Cells use phagocytosis to take in large objects, such as other cells (or their debris), bacteria, and even viruses.
The objective of phagocytosis is often destruction. Cells use phagocytosis to eliminate unwelcome visitors, like pathogens (e.g., viruses and bacteria). Many immune system cells,...

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Emergency Medicine
  • Toxicology

Background:

  • Foreign body ingestion is a common emergency presentation.
  • Ingestion of objects containing batteries poses a risk of chemical burns and toxicity.

Observation:

  • A 24-year-old male presented with abdominal pain following a reported foreign body ingestion.
  • Imaging revealed an ingested mobile phone with an intact battery.
  • The patient showed no clinical signs of lithium toxicity.

Findings:

  • Endoscopic retrieval of the mobile phone was successfully performed.
  • The absence of battery leak prevented lithium toxicity in this case.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the critical importance of prompt diagnostic workup and endoscopic intervention for ingested foreign bodies, especially those containing batteries.
  • Early removal can prevent severe complications such as gastrointestinal perforation and systemic toxicity.
