Polyethylene, the most common plastic, was discovered by accident in 1898 and was rediscovered several times after that with chemists and researchers seeing little use for the white, waxy substance.

A combination of Miralax and Gatorade for bowel preparation before colonoscopy was inferior to polyethylene glycol in terms of preparation quality, and did not improve polyp detection or rate of ...

Polyethylene accounts for 35% of the plastic produced annually and is widely used for various purposes, including packaging ...

A study, published in Journal of Digestive Disease, examined whether a new same-day, low-dose polyethylene glycol-based bowel preparation was both tolerable and effective for bowel preparation. Study ...
