    Leaving unattended a medical treatment may have consequences, from prolonging a recovery waiting time to mortal circumstances. rent technological solutions have been proposed for this problem, including pillboxes and automated pill dispensers. In that sense, this paper aims to present the development of an automatic pill dispenser to improve attention on medical treatment when a patient does not take medicine on time. The implementation considers two components: A fixed device that works as the main automated pill dispenser, and a portable device that can communicate with the fixed device in order to synchronize medical treatment information in both devices. Experimental results proves that this functional prototype improves the number of times a patient not forget to follow a medical treatment and it reduces the delays in taking pills. © 2017 IEEE.

    Background: Currently, use of the Bravo capsule is a very common method for evaluating the gastroesophageal reflux because it has the advantage of being an intraesophageal catheter-free system. However, endoscopic removal of the capsule is necessary when technical problems or severe discomfort are present. Most frequently, endoscopists solve this problem by nudging the device with the tip of the endoscope to dislodge it; others have used a cold snare to produce traction on the capsule, and then tear the probe off. These techniques however are not free of complications. We report here the cold and hot snare techniques used in 4 of our patients, which resulted in the successful removal of the capsule without complications. Methods: The polypectomy cold snare procedure is a typical polypectomy method. The cold snare loops the mucosal pedicle and tightly closes it until sectioning is achieved. In the hot snare technique, a monopolar coagulating current is added to the previous procedure, making the resection more feasible when the cold snare is not sufficient. Finally, in both situations, the probe is removed from the esophagus with the same snare.
