This video was created in 2010 by third-year pharmacy students at Palm Beach Atlantic Universoty as part of their disease prevention and health promotion course reflecting our National Health Observances. The video uses graphics and drawing to create a powerful educational video to raise awareness regarding colorectal cancer risk factors and treatment strategies.

From diet and lifestyle changes to genetic testing, there are some steps you can take to help prevent cancer, says W. Jarrard Goodwin, MD, FACS, chief medical officer of Sylvester and professor of otolaryngology.

3D medical animation and video clip produced by Virtual Point and Michael Greenspan showing new medical system. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the number two cause of cancer related death in most countries of the world. The Aer-O-Scope™, is a disposable, miniaturized, self-propelling, self-navigating, endoscope incorporating a CMOS camera with unique omni-directional viewing system. Computer controlled pressure management, coupled with sensors in the workstation, adjust balloon size and shape to changing bowel anatomy, thus allowing the pressure-propelled balloon to find its path. The Aer-O-Scope™’s visual system provides simultaneous 360 degree viewing of the colon mucosal surface, potentially eliminating the need for continuous tip manipulation as in colonoscopy, and potentially decreasing the chance of missing polyps hidden behind mucosal folds. An electro-optical capsule is embedded in the front of a lightweight balloon vehicle, while low pressure colon insufflation with CO2 propels the balloon, causing it to glide along the ‘slippery’ colon walls without forceful maneuvering. 3D video animation p;roduced by Virtual Point Multimedia.

Dr. Duane Albrandt of Gastroenterology Associates of York and York Endoscopy Center (www.gastroyork.com) explains the colonoscopy procedure, techniques, results and further treatment. He also shows the scope used during this pain-free 20-minute procedure.

Mr. February in the 2010 Colondar talks about his story from the “photo shoot confessional” at the 2010 Colondar photo shoot. The Colondar is The Colon Club’s annual calendar of men and women diagnosed with colorectal cancer under the stereotypical age of 50. This is part 1 of 2.
