Electrogastrography: Clinical Applications

Electrogastrography: Methodology, Validation and Applications

Electrogastrography (EGG) is a non-invasive method for the measurement of gastric myoelectrical activity. It was first discovered in 1921 and popularized in 1990s. EGG is attractive because it is non-invasive. However, due to its non-invasive nature, there have also been controversies regarding validity and applications of EGG. The aim of this review is to discuss the methodologies, validation ...

Tele - Electrogastrography

Background World Wide Web has provided an Internet platform for wide range of distributed web applications. Web technologies have been extensively used to implement various publicly accessible systems through the Internet. Recently, there is an increasing interest towards Internet applications of medical and clinical research [1]. These applications utilize the Internet not only as a source of ...

Preclinical electrogastrography in experimental pigs

Surface electrogastrography (EGG) is a non-invasive means of recording gastric myoelectric activity or slow waves from cutaneous leads placed over the stomach. This paper provides a comprehensive review of preclinical EGG. Our group recently set up and worked out the methods for EGG in experimental pigs. We gained our initial experience in the use of EGG in assessment of porcine gastric myoelec...

[Analysis of electrogastrography in gastrectomized subjects].

OBJECTIVES To establish a method for the development of a mathematical model of autonomic activity in gastrointestinal movements and to basically evaluate of the application of the nonlinear analysis method to electrogastrography, we performed feature extraction of electrogastrographic changes in healthy elderly and gastrectomized subjects. METHODS The subjects consisted of 9 healthy elderly ...
