A Pilot Trial of Ambulatory Monitoring of Gastric Motility Using a Modified Magnetic Capsule Endoscope
نویسندگان
چکیده
The magnetic capsule endoscope has been modified to be fixed inside the stomach and to monitor the gastric motility. This pilot trial was designed to investigate the feasibility of the magnetic capsule endoscope for monitoring gastric motility. The magnetic capsule endoscope was swallowed by the healthy volunteer and maneuvered by the external magnet on his abdomen surface inside the stomach. The magnetic capsule endoscope transmitted image of gastric peristalsis. This simple trial suggested that the real-time ambulatory monitoring of gastric motility should be feasible by using the magnetic capsule endoscope.

Gastrointestinal motility during sleep assessed by tracking of telemetric capsules combined with polysomnography - a pilot study.
Studies of gastrointestinal function during sleep are hampered by lack of applicable techniques. Recent development of a novel ambulatory telemetric capsule system, which can be used in conjunction with polysomnography, offers a solution to this problem. The 3D-Transit system consists of ingestible electromagnetic capsules traceable through a portable extracorporeal receiver while traversing th...
متن کاملDetection of drug effects on gastric emptying and contractility using a wireless motility capsule
BACKGROUND A wireless motility capsule is a new method for ambulatory assessment of transit times and motility throughout the gastrointestinal tract. The objective of this study was to evaluate the ability of a wireless motility capsule to detect drug effects on gastric emptying time (GET) and gastric contractility. METHODS 15 healthy adults were administered in random order saline, erythromy...
متن کاملDoes magnetically assisted capsule endoscopy improve small bowel capsule endoscopy completion rate? A randomised controlled trial.
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS Delayed gastric emptying is a significant factor in incomplete small bowel capsule examinations. Gastric transit could be hastened by external magnetic control of the capsule. We studied the feasibility of this approach to improve capsule endoscopy completion rates. PATIENTS AND METHODS Prospective, single-center, randomized controlled trial involving 122 patients at...
متن کامل5-DOF Manipulation of a Magnetic Capsule in Fluid using a Single Permanent Magnet: Proof-of-Concept for Stomach Endoscopy
Magnetic manipulation of capsule endoscopes has the potential to make current gastrointestinal screening procedures faster, safer, and less invasive. To date, two electromagnetic systems have been developed with the ability to perform five-degree-of-freedom (5-DOF) manipulation of an untethered magnetic device such as a magnetic capsule endoscope: the OctoMag system consists of eight electromag...

Overweight and obesity have been identified as a cause of high risk diseases like diabetes and cancer. Although conventional Intragastric Balloons (IGBs) have become an efficient and less invasive method for overweight and obesity treatment, the use of conventional tools such as catheter or endoscope to insert and remove the IGBs from the patient's body causes nausea, vomiting, discomfort, and ...
