Abstract:
Careful patient selection is a key factor in optimizing the use of device-assisted enteroscopy (DAE) in Crohn's disease (CD). Current technologies include double-balloon enteroscopy and single-balloon enteroscopy which have similar efficiency and safety. DAE allows a variety of therapeutic interventions in the small bowel (SB). These include dilation of SB strictures which achieves promising results and should be preferred to surgery that can still be performed in the event of failure. DAE has developed into an indispensable part of clinical practice in the management of CD patients.

Radionuclide Testing
Radionuclide testing is a sophisticated medical technique for assessing gastrointestinal motility. It focuses on gastric emptying and colonic transit time. Radioactive markers track the movement of food through the digestive system, providing insights into gastrointestinal disorders.
In gastric emptying studies, a meal's liquid and...

Diagnostic studies
A colonoscopy is the definitive screening test, distinguishing ulcerative colitis from other colon diseases with similar symptoms. During a colonoscopy test, inflamed mucosa with exudate ulcerations can be observed, and biopsies are taken to determine the histologic characteristics of the...
