In this issue of the Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, Mangiavillano et al remind us that the lesion of celiac disease is patchy and suggest that the diagnosis can be missed if biopsy samples from the duodenal bulb are not taken. They report their single-center, prospective study in 47 children with “clinical and serological indicators of the disease.” Each patient underwent EGD with 4 biopsy specimens obtained from the duodenal bulb and 4 from the descending duodenum. One pathologist read the biopsy results blinded to the clinical data. (Source: Gastrointestinal Endoscopy)

Have you ever suffered a medical nightmare like this? “Patient displays an acute communicable disease with an incubation period of 2 or 3 weeks and caused by herpesvirus, usually found in children. Manifestations include coryza, fever, malaise, and headache, followed in 2 or 3 days by the eruption of macular vesicles.” Chances are you have. The above paragraph is just a complicated description of a common childhood virus: chicken pox. In most cases doctors are happy to act as medical translators for their patients— explaining complicated medical terminology in every day language— but when it comes to written material, many medical publications rely heavily on industry jargon. It can be intimidati...

Abstract: Background: Although videocapsule endoscopy images are helpful in the evaluation of celiac disease, their interpretation is subjective. Quantitative disease markers could assist in determining the extent of villous atrophy and response to treatment.Method: Capsule endoscopy images were acquired from celiac patients with small bowel pathology (N=11) and from control patients (N=10). Image resolution was 576×576 pixels in dimension, 256 grayscale levels, and had a 2s−1 frame rate. Pixel brightness and image texture were measured over 10×10 pixel subimages and then averaged for 56×56 subimages per frame. Measurements were obtained at five locations from proximal to distal small intestine in each patient. At each location, measurements were calculated using 200 consecutive image...
