Motility of the antroduodenum in healthy and gastroparetics characterized by wireless motility capsule.
BACKGROUND The wireless motility capsule (WMC) measures intraluminal pH and pressure, and records transit time and contractile activity throughout the gastrointestinal tract. Our hypothesis is that WMC can differentiate antroduodenal pressure profiles between healthy people and patients with upper gut motility dysfunctions. This study aims to analyze differences in the phasic pressure profiles ...
متن کاملA Wireless Implant for Gastrointestinal Motility Disorders
Implantable functional electrical stimulation (IFES) has demonstrated its effectiveness as an alternative treatment option for diseases incurable pharmaceutically (e.g., retinal prosthesis, cochlear implant, spinal cord implant for pain relief). However, the development of IFES for gastrointestinal (GI) tract modulation is still limited due to the poorly understood GI neural network (gut–brain ...
متن کاملUtility of the wireless motility capsule and lactulose breath testing in the evaluation of patients with Parkinson's disease who present with functional gastrointestinal symptoms
BACKGROUND The aetiology and origin of gastrointestinal symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD) remains poorly understood. Gastroparesis, small bowel transit delay and bacterial overgrowth may, individually or collectively, play a role. AIMS In patients with PD and functional gastrointestinal symptoms, we aimed to determine the utility of the wireless motility capsule and lactulose breath tests ...
متن کاملGastrointestinal Motility
Anatomic regions of the stomach are the fundus, corpus (body), antrum and pylorus. The functional regions of the stomach do not correspond to the anatomic regions. Functionally, the stomach can be divided into the gastric reservoir and the gastric pump (Fig. 1). The gastric reservoir consists of the fundus and corpus. The gastric pump is represented by the area at which peristaltic waves occur:...
متن کاملGastrointestinal Motility
Gastrointestinal (GI) motility is an essential function of digestive and absorptive processes of the gut, required for propelling intestinal contents, mixing them with digestive juices, and preparing unabsorbed particles for excretion. Pivotal to the discussion of mechanisms for producing defined patterns of motor responses are important and intimately related aspects of intestinal neurophysiol...
