Effect of DA-9701 on Gastric Motor Function Assessed by Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Healthy Volunteers: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial

BACKGROUND Improving gastric accommodation and gastric emptying is an attractive physiological treatment target in patients with functional dyspepsia (FD). We evaluated the effect of DA-9701, a new drug for FD, on gastric motor function after a meal in healthy volunteers using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). METHODS Forty healthy volunteers were randomly allocated to receive either DA-9701 ...

Lung volume measurements in wheezy infants: comparison of plethysmography and gas dilution.

The accuracy both of plethysmographic measurements of thoracic gas volume (TGV) and determinations of functional residual capacity (FRC) by gas dilution techniques in infants with obstructive lung disease is subject to continued dispute. We studied 25 wheezy infants and compared TGV derived from end-expiratory airway occlusions (TGVEE), corrected TGV after end-inspiratory airway occlusions (TGV...

Validity of new child-specific thoracic gas volume prediction equations for air-displacement plethysmography

OBJECTIVE To develop child-specific thoracic gas volume (TGV) prediction equations for use in air-displacement plethysmography in 6- to 17-year-old children. RESEARCH METHODS AND PROCEDURES Study 1 developed TGV prediction equations using anthropometric variables after completing a measured TGV and air-displacement plethysmography test in 224 healthy boys and girls (11.2 +/- 3.2 years, 45.3 +...

Overestimation of thoracic gas volume during the airway resistance maneuver. A potential error in the diagnosis of air trapping.

There are no data published about the agreement between the measurement of thoracic gas volume (TGV) during the airway resistance (TGV-Raw) and the conventional technique described by Dubois. The aim of this study was to establish the agreement between both methods to measure TGV. We studied eighty consecutive subjects. Only sixty-six performed acceptable plethysmography maneuvers. The patients...
