The efficacy comparison of carvedilol plus endoscopic variceal ligation and traditional, nonselective β-blockers plus endoscopic variceal ligation in cirrhosis patients for the prevention of variceal rebleeding: a meta-analysis

Carvedilol was more efficacious than traditional NSBBs in decreasing the variceal rebleeding rate [odds ratio (OR): 0.75; 95% confidence interval (CI: 0.38-0.75, P = 0.0003), lowering the degree of esophageal varices (OR: 4.40, 95% CI: 2.64, P < 0.00001) No difference was noted between carvedilol and traditional NS BBs with respect to mortality and heart rate.

Clear Liquids versus Polyethylene Glycol Preparation for Video Capsule Endoscopy of the Small Bowel: A Randomized Controlled Trial

An effective bowel cleanse can improve the imaging quality of video capsule endoscopy (VCE) We compared the efficacy of 4 L of clear liquids, 2 L of polyethylene glycol (PEG), and 4 L. of PEG on the image quality of VCE.

Comparison of procedural sequence in same-day consecutive bidirectional endoscopy using moderate sedation: a prospective randomized study

optimal sequence of procedures for same-day bidirectional endoscopy using moderate sedation has not been established. Patient's discomfort and satisfaction, as expressed by the amount of analgesia added to sustain conscious sedation, and the postprocedure satisfaction reported by the patients were set as primary outcomes.

Bispectral Index Versus Standard Monitoring in Sedation for Endoscopic Procedures: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Oesophageal capsule endoscopy versus oesophago-gastroduodenoscopy for the diagnosis of recurrent varices: a prospective multicentre study

Capsule recordings were blindly read by two endoscopists. Indication for a new prophylactic treatment and patient satisfaction were determined for both procedures.

Acetic acid-guided biopsies after magnifying endoscopy compared with random biopsies in the detection of Barrett's esophagus: a prospective randomized trial with crossover design

To investigate, researchers looked at the link between the behavior of Barrett's patients and the treatment they received from the hospital. They compared the treatment with the behavior in response to the treatment of those who were subjected to it

Evaluation of gastrointestinal pathology and treatment in children with suspected biliary dyskinesia
