“…Tegaserod was shown to shorten intestinal transit time with no effect on gastric emptying (76). Shortening of gastric emptying time may occur with lying on the right side for the first 2 hours of the procedure (77).…”

Wireless capsule endoscopy is one of the recent inventions that has made an impact in the diagnostic work-up of gastrointestinal diseases, mainly in small intestinal pathology, the part of the gut that cannot be totally visualized by upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopy. Since the first report documenting the use of capsule endoscopy, many adult clinical trials have taken place. Although the Food and Drug Administration approved the use of the capsule in children (ages 10-18 years) in October 2003, few small clinical trials exploring the diagnostic yield of capsule endoscopy in pediatric populations have been published.

“…In a small (n = 37) randomized study also using bowel preparation (mostly with a 4-l solution of polyethylene glycol, PEG), erythromycin reduced the gastric transit time by 55 min, but increased the small-intestinal transit time by 70 min, with the rates of complete small-bowel examination being the same ± 84 % vs. 80 % [4]. In a small study, tegaserod was said to reduce small-intestinal transit times [2], along with right lateral positioning [6]. The effects of bowel preparation are unclear [4], but one randomized trial compared no preparation with a 1-l PEG solution before swallowing of the capsule (n = 50).…”

Capsule endoscopy (CE) is still of considerable interest and, as in recent years, a large number of abstracts have been devoted to CE in various possible indications. As with the other reports, only the most relevant studies and those covering special and new aspects are discussed in detail here. The remaining abstracts feature in the tables and in the reference list. Push enteroscopy (PE) is still the method of choice with which CE has to be compared, but double-balloon enteroscopy is emerging as another interesting alternative or complementary method.

“…Two studies, both published in abstract form, reported the effect of RLP on the GTT and rate of complete small−bowel exam− ination. Sachdev et al found that RLP significantly facilitates gastric emptying of the video capsule in a safe manner [19]. Pat− tullo et al found that RLP was not able to reduce GTT nor in− crease the CER in their population [20].…”
