DIAGNOSTIC ROLE OF CAPSULE ENDOSCOPY IN PATIENTS OF OBSCURE GASTROINTESTINAL BLEEDING AFTER NEGATIVE CT ENTEROGRAPHY

Diagnostic role of capsule endoscopy in patients of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding after negative CT enterography

Background and Objectives: Computed tomographic Signs enterography (CT-EG) has emerged a useful tool for the evaluation of small bowel in patients of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB).However, CT-EG may be negative in about 50-60% of patients.We aimed to see the efficacy of capsule endoscopy (CE) in patients of OGIB, who had initial negative

Optimizing Rebar Consumption and Cutting Waste in Column Reinforcement: Integrated Mechanical Couplers and a Special-Length-Priority Minimization Algorithm

The construction 1036 of reinforced concrete (RC) structures inevitably consumes an excessive number of rebars, leading to significant cutting waste and carbon emissions.Extensive research has been conducted to minimize this issue and its consequences; however, these methods consistently consume a substantial number of rebars.This includes a previo

Single-Cell Analysis Reveals the Cellular and Molecular Changes of Liver Injury and Fibrosis in Mice During the Progression of Schistosoma japonicum Infection

Schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease that poses a serious threat to human health.However, the pathogenic mechanism during the progression of Schistosoma japonicum infection remains unclear.In order to elucidate this mechanism, we used single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to investigate the transcriptome characteristics of the cellular (single-c
