3.	Hemorrhage 04/01/2004 - "The primary aims of this study were to evaluate the safety of capsule endoscopy in patients with cardiac pacemakers who are being evaluated for GI bleeding of obscure origin and to determine whether pacemakers have any effect on the images captured by the capsule endoscope. " 01/01/2002 - "The capsule endoscope has performed well in trials in patients with difficult gastrointestinal bleeding and in comparative studies with push enteroscopy. " 07/01/2013 - "The small bowel and capsule endoscope were easily controlled during minilaparotomy, and real-time capsule endoscopic images clearly identified the bleeding lesion. " 06/01/2007 - "Ampullary bleeding diagnosed using CCD high resolution and real time viewer capsule endoscope system." 11/01/2002 - "Localization of colonic origin of obscure bleeding with the capsule endoscope: a case report."
4.	Neoplasms (Cancer) 05/01/2010 - "Preliminary studies have shown the possibility of detecting colonic polyps and tumors using the PillCam Colon capsule endoscope (CCE) (Given Imaging, Yoqneam, Israel). " 10/01/2003 - "Push enteroscopy was carried out to allow argon plasma coagulation treatment of the angiodysplasias that had been detected; it revealed a polypoid tumor 20 mm in diameter at 150 cm from the incisors, with the capsule endoscope still located proximal to the tumor and with its optical dome turned towards the push enteroscope. "
5.	Esophageal Diseases 04/01/2008 - "This study evaluates the performance and test characteristics of a second-generation esophageal capsule endoscope, the PillCam ESO 2. Adults with known or suspected esophageal disease were included. " 01/01/2008 - "Recently, several new types of capsule endoscope have been developed, such as Olympus CE for the small bowel, PillCam ESO for investigation of esophageal diseases, and PillCam COLON for detection of colonic neoplasias.
