This study analyzes storyline structure in three Hausa home videos; Mai Kudi (The Rich Man), Sanafahna (with time truth shall dawn) and Albashi (Salary). The study measures storyline structure in these films against a Hollywood film industry model of story writing “the Hero's Journey”. It uses narrative analysis as its analytical tool, and narrative theory as its framework. After analyzing these videos, the study found that the major elements of storyline structure in Vogler's model formed the framework of the storyline structure in Hausa home videos analyzed. However, in spite of the preponderance of these elements within the storyline structure, there are significant variations to Vogler's model. Specifically, Vogler's model has some twelve stages spread on the universal structure of storytelling, i.e. beginning, middle and end. Few of these stages were found to exist in Hausa narrative structure, perhaps due to cultural differences between Western, Indian and Hausa cultures. The study therefore recommends screenwriters and producers to be aware of the existence of standard models of scriptwriting. It also recommends more training for script writers in the Hausa film industry.
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) offers an effective interventional option for treating symptomatic chronic pancreatitis. Endoscopic pancreatic sphincterotomy is performed to facilitated endoscopic treatment. Pancreatic duct strictures can be treated by inserting plastic stents, and a 10 Fr endoprosthesis is adequate in many cases. Before stent insertion, hydrostatic balloon dilation is needed in some cases. Pancreatic stones can be removed with a dormia basket, but combining ERCP and extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) is often most effective.
Standard and advanced endoscopic treatment approaches are delineated in this article and include stricture dilation with a Soehendra retriever, cSEMS placement and multi-stenting.
Celiac disease (CD) is an immune-mediated enteropathy that is characterized by intraepithelial lymphocytosis, crypt hyperplasia, and villous atrophy. Prevalence is high and has been estimated to range between 0.5% and 1.5%. Capsule endoscopy (CE) has a sensitivity and specificity of approximately 90%. CD is an important differential diagnosis for diagnostic workup for anemia, malabsorption, or diarrhea, and must be recognized reliably by the investigator. Moreover, CE is the preferred method to screen for complications in CD, such as enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma, ulcerative jejunitis, and small bowel adenocarcinoma.

Small bowel tumors are detected in approximately 10% of patients with small bowel endoscopies for obscure or overt mid-intestinal bleeding. Small bowel tumors may be of malignant or benign etiology. Malignant etiologies include adenocarcinoma, neuroendocrine tumors, or lymphoma, whereas benign lesions are typically lipomas, inflammatory polyps, or adenomas. Within the group of nonneoplastic lesions inflammatory polyps are most frequent. Significant bleeding and bowel obstruction due to intussusception might occur, and surgical or endoscopic treatment has been reported for symptomatic patients. A case is demonstrated with an inflammatory fibroid polyp detected by capsule endoscopy and confirmed by balloon enteroscopy. This article is part of an expert video encyclopedia.
Peutz–Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is a rare autosomal-dominant inherited disorder characterized by gastrointestinal hamartomas, mucocutaneous pigmentation, and an elevated cancer risk. Moreover, intussusception risk may be as high as 50% at the age of 20 years and is caused by large polyps. There is some evidence that endoscopic surveillance of PJS patients with removal of small intestinal polyps with a diameter of more than 15 mm efficiently prevents intussusceptions. In recent years, capsule endoscopy (CE) has largely replaced small-bowel radiography techniques to screen for small-bowel polyps. Magnetic resonance imaging may be equally efficient as CE for screening of large polyps. Balloon enteroscopy may be used for endoscopic snare resection of polyps.

The small intestine is a part of the gastrointestinal tract in which digestion and absorption of nutrients takes place. The small bowel follows the stomach and is followed by the large intestine, reaching from the pylorus to the valve of Bauhin and is separated into the duodenum, the jejunum, and the ileum.
Capsule endoscopy (CE) has the potential to offer a perfect overview of the small-bowel mucosa and complete visualization of the entire small bowel is achieved in most cases. In this video, there is an overview offered on normal findings in small-bowel CE and typical anatomical landmarks are indicated. This article is part of an expert video encyclopedia.
This is an example of capsule endoscopy (CE) revealing terminal ileitis in an young male patient with recurrent abdominal pain who had previously been investigated with colonoscopy and esophagogastroduodenoscopy without any significant findings. CE revealed severe inflammation of the terminal ileum. This article is part of an expert video encyclopedia.
Small bowel varices may be found in less than 5% of patients with suspected small bowel bleeding. These varices are associated with portal hypertension or thrombosis of mesenteric venous vessels and with altered abdominal vascular anatomy with or without prior small bowel surgery. In bleeding small bowel varices, therapeutic options include endoscopic injection of tissue adhesives, endovascular approaches such as balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous or percutaneous obliteration and transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt, and surgical resection. This is a case report of a 53-year-old patient with ethylic liver cirrhosis who presented with severe, life-threatening hematochezia due to small bowel varices.

Small-bowel tumors are rare and account for approximately 5% of all gastrointestinal tumors. Approximately 65% of small-bowel tumors are malignant, and approximately 40% of these tumors are adenocarcinomas. Similar to colorectal adenocarcinoma, premalignant adenomas of the small bowel may progress to carcinoma. This occurs both sporadically and in the context of hereditary tumor syndromes such as familial adenomatous polyposis or hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (Lynch syndrome). Herein cases with small-bowel adenocarcinomas visualized with both capsule endoscopy and double-balloon enteroscopy are presented. This article is part of an expert video encyclopedia.
The author presents the case of a patient with severe bleeding from a duodenal ulcer that could not be controlled by endoscopic application of metal clips and injection of fibrin glue. Angiographic embolization with placement of coils into the feeding vessel stopped the bleeding. However, 3 days later, a fistula emerged from coil material penetrating into the dorsal duodenum and a peritoneal leakage developed. The fistula was completely closed by placing an over-the-scope clip on the enteral opening of the fistula. This article is part of an expert video encyclopedia.
