TL;DR: A new type of endoscopy, which for the first time allows painless endoscopic imaging of the whole of the small bowel, is developed and successfully tested in humans.
Abstract: The discomfort of internal gastrointestinal examination may soon be a thing of the past. We have developed a new type of endoscopy, which for the first time allows painless endoscopic imaging of the whole of the small bowel. This procedure involves a wireless capsule endoscope and we describe here its successful testing in humans.

TL;DR: Patients with haematemesis were admitted to hospital earlier and had endoscopy more quickly than patients with melaena alone; this probably accounted for the higher endoscopic success-rate in this group.

TL;DR: Double-balloon endoscopy permits the exploration of the small intestine with a high success rate of total enteroscopy, the procedure is safe and useful, and it provides high diagnostic yields and therapeutic capabilities.

TL;DR: Gastrointestinal lesions (in both the upper gastrointestinal tract and the colon) are frequently found in patients with iron-deficiency anemia and since site-specific symptoms are predictive of abnormalities in the corresponding portion of the bowel, the initial evaluation should be directed by the location of the symptoms.
Abstract: Background Idiopathic iron-deficiency anemia in adults is assumed to be the result of occult chronic blood loss from the gastrointestinal tract. The aim of this study was to determine an effective clinical strategy for managing this common clinical problem. Methods We prospectively studied 100 consecutive patients with iron-deficiency anemia, using colonoscopy and esophagogastroduodenoscopy and, in patients with negative endoscopic studies, enteroclysis (radiographic examination of the small intestine). Results Gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed at least one lesion potentially responsible for blood loss in 62 of the 100 patients. Endoscopic examination of the upper gastrointestinal tract showed a bleeding source in 36 patients, and colonoscopy showed a lesion in 25; 1 patient had lesions in both the upper and lower gastrointestinal tracts. The most common abnormality in the upper gastrointestinal tract was peptic ulceration (duodenal ulcer in 11 patients, gastric ulcer in 5, and anastomotic ulcer in 3). ...
