Human intestinal tract research and diagnostic system to evaluate patients and advance medical science and bioengineering and to determine processes in the gut and causes of diseases

摘要

Many diseases with origin in human gut are of unknown causes, so only symptoms are treated. Endoscopic devices leave about 15′ of gut unexplored other than by autopsy. Thus, a substance and microbe simultaneous sample collecting, testing, evaluation, and characterization system has been invented that will provide data for evaluating functions, macro, and micro processes taking place along entire length of the human digestive and intestinal tract from mouth to anus. The entire digestive process including biochemical reactions and microbe roles, and consequences, as pertain to diseases and illnesses can be ascertained through applications of the system, which includes protocols, for collection and preservation of digestion products for external analysis, measurements of many in vivo conditions, and internally processing data and making decisions based upon said processed data, including administration of medications. The system serves clinical diagnostic, treatment and research purposes, and is a dream tool for gastroenterologists.
