Enteroscopy.This procedure, similar to the EGD and colonoscopy, examines yoursmall intestine. In some cases, this involves swallowing a capsule with a tiny camera inside that transmits images to a video monitor as it passes through the digestive tract. The enteroscopy can capture a part of the ...
In our experience, rehydration almost doubles the colonoscopy referral rate from around 2% in unhydrated haemoccult to 9% when using rehydration. As the guaiac tests lack sensitivity they should be used frequently: annual screening using these tests is probably preferable to biennial testing (Towler...
A pH of 7.4 is considered normal; a value lower than 7.4 indicates acidemia and one higher than 7.4 alkalemia.Because the amount of CO2 in the blood affects its pH, abnormal PaCO2 values are interpreted in relation to the pH. If the PaCO2 value is elevated, and the pH is below normal...

The emergence of liquid biopsies ...

You should take a look at the DANGER signs of internal bleeding. What causes black stool? The location of the...
