  • Such a gastroscope which is a flexible endoscope, is used to examine the upper gastrointestinal tract.
  • a common cause of discomfort in the upper gastrointestinal tract is a bacterial infestation of its organs.

  • type B gastritis about 75% of gastric ulcers
  • almost all twelve-finger gut ulcers are important part of the diagnosis of gastric diseases.
  • Helicobacter pylori is detected via a breath test in which a patient is administered a C-13 masked urea.
  • the C-13 masked CO 2 resulting from the cleavage of urea (CO (NH 2 ) 2 ) into ammonia (NH 3 ) and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) is detected in the exhaled air.

  • stomach for colonization with Helicobacter pylori Another way to examine the stomach for colonization with Helicobacter pylori is the so-called gastroscopy ("gastroscopy").
  • gastroscopy By means of a biopsy, the gastroenterologist takes a tissue sample (biopsy) from the gastric mucosa in order to examine it immediately or later for an infection with Helicobacter pylori.
  • a well-known examination procedure for the tissue sample is, for example, the Helicobacter urease test (HU test, HUT for short).
  • the biopsy is placed in a test medium (measuring solution), which consists of a nutrient solution for this bacterium, urea and an indicator (litmus).
  • the bacterium splits the urea (CO (NH2) 2) by urease into ammonia (NH3) and carbon dioxide (CO2). • The ammonia then colors the indicator red. The test result can be seen after a few minutes. The onset of color change from yellow to red is not clearly identifiable under unfavorable conditions.
  • An alternative to a gastroscopy performed by means of a flexible endoscope is the use of a so-called endoscopy capsule.
  • Such endoscopy capsule which is also referred to as a capsule endoscope or endocapsule, is designed as a passive endocapsule or as a navigable endocapsule.
  • a passive endoscopy capsule moves through the patient's intestine due to peristalsis.

Between the first electrode and the second electrode, the potential, that is to say without current, is thus advantageously measured. This hardly causes ion migration in the stomach acid.
  • the electrical voltage between the first electrode and the second electrode is an AC voltage having a variably predeterminable frequency spectrum.
  • the ions migrate to the associated electrodes, the cations (eg ammonium NH 4 + ) to the cathode and the anions (eg chloride Cl " ) to the anode in the gastroscope according to claim 3, a complete charging of the first electrode (reference electrode) and complete charging of the second electrode (measuring electrode) reliably prevented, since at a sufficiently high frequency, the migration velocity of the ions in the gastric acid is almost zero.

  • the measurable potential differences and phase differences are characteristic of the presence of a urease activity, which can be concluded with a very high degree of certainty for the presence of Helicobacter pylori.
  • the frequency spectrum of the alternating voltage is modulated. This results in increased stability of the AC voltage, which increases the measurement accuracy and reduces the measurement time.
