Real-time optical biopsy of colon polyps with narrow band imaging in community practice does not yet meet key thresholds for clinical decisions

We first analyzed a computerized module to train gastroenterologists in optical biopsy skills using photographs of polyps. Then we evaluated a practice-based learning program for this gastroenterologist

Virtual reality colonoscopy simulation: a compulsory practice for the future colonoscopist?

Study investigated whether the use of the AccuTouch flexible endoscopy simulator improves the early part of the learning curve in colonoscopy training.

Assessment of early learning curves among nurses and physicians using a high-fidelity virtual-reality colonoscopy simulator

Nurses performed virtual colonoscopy as accurately and safely as residents. Residents and nurses showed similar learning curve patterns. Residents performed significantly faster, but time differences showed a tendency towards decreasing.

Prospective evaluation of small bowel preparation with bisacodyl and sodium phosphate for capsule endoscopy

Preparation with Prepacol accelerated small bowel transit time, but had no effect on the quality of CE. Visibility was significantly reduced in the distal compared to the proximal small bowel. The ideal time of application remains unclear.

Randomized controlled treatment trial of irritable bowel syndrome with a probiotic E.-coli preparation (DSM17252) compared to placebo

The response rate in GSS to the drug was 27 / 148 (18.2%) in comparison to placebo with 7 / 150 (4.67%) Post-hoc analysis revealed no significant differences in efficacy between the gender and different age groups.
