Preparations and prokinetics

Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North America

Abstract

The evaluation of the importance of bowel preparations, prokinetics and postural tricks for bowel cleanliness, completeness of evaluation, and ultimately for the diagnostic yield of VCE is hampered by several factors. First, most studies are published in abstract form. Second, the methodological quality of the studies is rather low, because randomized comparisons are only a small minority. Third,there is no accepted and validated scale to evaluate bowel cleanliness. For all of these reasons, comparisons between studies are very difficult, and drawing general conclusions is almost impossible. As a consequence, at the Fifth International Conference on Capsule Endoscopy [9], only a limited measure of consensus could be reached on the fact that preparations/prokinetics probably improve the quality of small bowel cleanliness. It also was agreed that it is possible that preps/prokinetics improve GTT, SBTT and completeness of examination, and that keeping the patients recumbent in the right lateral position may shorten the GTT. It was noted, however, that the best type of preparation, and dose and time of administration remain to be determined. Additionally, data on prokinetics and postural tricks are insufficient to reach a firm conc...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
