TEXT D
It is common knowledge how difficult it is to examine the gastrointestinal tract. Long rubber tubes are used and the process of probing (zondlash) is known to cause th patient much discomfort. It gives only limited possibilities for the examination of the stomach and none at all for the intestine. Usual physiological methods are often ineffective for studying many important processes in the human intestine.
But a small electronic instrument called a radio-pill helps the physician in this matter. It is a small tube less than two cm long and only some millimetres in diameter. A very small transistor – transmitter is inside the tube.
The patient swallows this radio-pill which passes along gastrointestinal tract sending information on pressure, temperature, gastric secretion, the lever of acidity, etc., thus helping the physician to reveal all the pathologic changes.
