Real-time monitoring of the gastrointestinal tract in a safe and comfortable manner is valuable for the diagnosis and therapy of many diseases. Within this realm, our review captures the trends in ingestible capsule systems with a focus on hardware and software technologies used for capsule endoscopy and remote patient monitoring. We introduce the structure and functions of the gastrointestinal tract, and the FDA guidelines for ingestible wireless telemetric medical devices. We survey the advanc...

Cutaneous metastases of visceral tumours are uncommon and might have umbilical and/or extra umbilical locations. The umbilical location, also named "Nodule of Sister Marie-Joseph" among 7 to 9% are secondary to a pancreatic tumour. In this article, we reported a case of a 50-years-old man presenting pancreatic cancer discovered by umbilical nodules and weight loss noticed 3 months earlier treated by palliative chemotherapy. We report this case of rare presentation of cutaneous metastases of panc...

Objectives: In this study, we aimed to supplement the database of intervertebral foramen by measuring the parameters of the lower lumbar spine related to the articular process of the X-ray, which could lay a theoretical foundation for the individualized surgery of transforaminal endoscopic spine technique (TEST). Methods: Anteroposterior and lateral X-rays of the lumbar spine from 104 adults (50 male and 54 female) who met the measurement criteria were selected. The height and width of the inte...

Open lung biopsy (OLB) is known as a gold standard for the definitive diagnosis of parenchymal lung diseases acute or chronic, localised or diffused. It has high diagnostic yield over brochio-alveolar lavage (BAL) and trans-bronchial needle biopsy (TBB). The use of the OLB in non-intensive care unit patients is considered as a relatively safe technique but the use of OLB in critically ill patients and ICU patients is not well studied and unclearly defined. Large randomised study should be perfor...

Obesity is an important global health concern, and is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. Modern methods of treatment, such as synthetic drugs and surgery, still have to be improved to show safety and efficacy. The main concerns with such treatments are the high costs and serious complications. As a result, there is great interest in the use of plant-based medicinal agents as an alternative therapy. This study aims to provide a review of the studies on accessible botanical source...
