Capsule Endoscopy involves ingesting a small Capsule (the size of the large vitamin pill),
which contains a colour camera, battery, light source and transmitter. The camera takes
two video images every second for eight hours, transmitting images to a data recorder
about the size of a portable CD player that patients wear around the waist. Once
swallowed, the camera moves naturally through the digestive tract while patients carry out
their normal activities. After 8 hours the data recorder is connected to computer which
converts the se data into eight hours video of entire GI tract, which is reviewed by the
doctor.

Capsule endoscopy helps to evaluate the small intestine, which cannot be reached by
traditional upper endoscopy or by colonoscopy. The most common reason for doing
capsule endoscopy is to search for a cause of bleeding from the small intestine. It may also
be useful for detecting polyps, inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s disease), ulcers, and
tumors of the small intestine

Esophageal manometry is a procedure done to
measure smooth muscle pressures in the esophagus.

In high resolution manometry, pressures are recorded at multiple sites in the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) and esophageal body ( 16 sites as standard, 8 across the LES with 1 cm spacing, 8 in the body of the esophagus with 3 cm spacing), so ‘complete’ data is obtained for each swallow. The pressure wave is represented as an image of the swallow. Representing the structure of the pressure wave in both time and space.

Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source.

The procedure is painless and is done without sedation. A thin flexible catheter is passed through the anesthetized nostril, into the esophagus as the patient swallows. Pressure measurements are recorded during swallows. The procedure takes approximately 30
minutes.

This is used to assess problems in transferring food from the oral cavity into the esophagus (transfer dysphagia).
