Diagnostic Yield of Colon Capsule Endoscopy in Detection of Superficial Colorectal Lesions
Conclusion: CCE2 sensitivities for colorectal superficial and protruded lesions were not significantly different. However, flat-type SSA/Ps in the right colon, especially when the transit time is fast, have a risk of demonstrating CCE2 false-negative results.Digestion (Source: Digestion)

Rikkunshito Depolarizes Pacemaker Potentials of Cultured Interstitial Cells of Cajal through Ghrelin Receptors in Murine Small Intestine
Conclusion: Rikkunshito depolarized pacemaker potentials of ICCs via ghrelin receptor and G protein through internal or external Ca2+-, phospholipase C-, and inositol triphosphate-dependent and protein kinase C-, TRPM7-, and ANO1-independent pathways. The study shows that Rikkunshito may alleviate GI motility disorders through its depolarizing effects on ICCs.Digestion (Source: Digestion)

Conclusions: Various histological features, with significant differences in gastric cancer risk, were identified in the gastric mucosa serologically diagnosed with atrophy withoutH. pylori infection. Therefore, serological screening for gastric cancer risk tests has several limitations, and additional evaluations should be considered.Digestion (Source: Digestion)

Accuracy of Different Rapid Urease Tests in Comparison with Histopathology in Patients with Endoscopic Signs of Gastritis
Conclusions: In conclusion, we consider RUTs to be cheap and fast alternatives to histology in patients with endoscopic signs of gastritis, independently of whether PPIs or antibiotic are used. Histological evaluation is expensive, time consuming and may be unnecessary in some cases.Digestion (Source: Digestion)
