|Type=DBE - A procedure to examine the inside of the small intestine. A special instrument consisting of two tubes inserted into each other is inserted into the small intestine through the mouth or rectum. The inner tube, an endoscope with a light and lens for viewing, is passed through part of the small intestine, and a balloon at the end is inflated to hold the endoscope in place. Next, the outer tube is moved through the small intestine to reach the end of the endoscope, and a balloon at the end of the outer tube is inflated to hold it in place. Then the balloon at the end of the endoscope is deflated and the endoscope is moved through the next part of the small intestine. These steps are repeated many times as the tubes move throughout the small intestine. This allows the doctor to see the entire small intestine.

Chronic Myeloid Leukemia - {{<span class="error">Expansion depth limit exceeded</span>}} (KRAH-nik MY-eh-loyd loo-KEE-mee-uh) An indolent (slow-growing) cancer in which too many myeloblasts are found in the blood and bone marrow. Myeloblasts are a type of immature blood cell that form white blood cells called myeloid cells. Chronic myeloid leukemia can get worse over time as the number of myeloblasts in the blood and bone marrow increases. This can cause fever, tiredness, easy bleeding, anemia, infection, a swollen spleen, bone pain, or other signs and symptoms. Chronic myeloid leukemia is usually characterized by a chromosomal abnormality called the Philadelphia chromosome, in which a piece of chromosome 9 and a piece of chromosome 22 break off and swap places with each other. It usually occurs in older adults and rarely occurs in children. Also called chronic granulocytic leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia and CML {{<span class="error">Expansion depth limit exceeded</span>}} [[Category:Dictionary of medicine]]
