Gastric Slow Wave Modelling Based on Stomach Morphology and Neuronal Firings

چکیده
Abstract—Gastric content’s mass and pH commonly assessed invasively using endoscopic biopsy, or semi-invasively using swallowable transducer. EGG (electrogastrography) is a technique for observing gastric myoelectrical activity noninvasively, that could be designed as mobile device. In this research, 72 EGG recordings were obtained from 13 local white rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). Recorded EGG processed using SCILAB 5.5.1 package. Signal processing consists of waveform identification altogether with recognition of resting, depolarization, ECA plateau, and repolarization segments of each EGG in the time domain based on amplitude and temporal filter. All rabbits were sacrificed after the recording in order to obtain its stomach content’s mass and pH data. EGG waveform generator based on gastric morphological neuron assembly for local white rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) modeled using those data. If this model proved to be accurate, the mass and pH from rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus)’s stomach content could be assessed non-invasively, and could be a basis for human (Homo sapiens) trial.

Origin and propagation of human gastric slow-wave activity defined by high-resolution mapping.
Slow waves coordinate gastric motility, and abnormal slow-wave activity is thought to contribute to motility disorders. The current understanding of normal human gastric slow-wave activity is based on extrapolation from data derived from sparse electrode recordings and is therefore potentially incomplete. This study employed high-resolution (HR) mapping to reevaluate human gastric slow-wave act...
متن کاملOrigin and propagation of the slow wave in the canine stomach: the outlines of a gastric conduction system.
Slow waves are known to originate orally in the stomach and to propagate toward the antrum, but the exact location of the pacemaker and the precise pattern of propagation have not yet been studied. Using assemblies of 240 extracellular electrodes, simultaneous recordings of electrical activity were made on the fundus, corpus, and antrum in open abdominal anesthetized dogs. The signals were anal...
متن کاملEvery slow-wave impulse is associated with motor activity of the human stomach.
Using a newly developed high-resolution three-dimensional magnetic detector system (3D-MAGMA), we observed periodical movements of a small magnetic marker in the human stomach at the typical gastric slow-wave frequency, that is 3 min(-1). Thus we hypothesized that each gastric slow wave induces a motor response that is not strong enough to be detected by conventional methods. Electrogastrograph...
متن کاملEffects of pacing parameters on entrainment of gastric slow waves in patients with gastroparesis.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of pacing parameters on the entrainment of gastric slow waves in patients with gastroparesis. Four pairs of cardiac pacing wires were placed on the serosal surface of the stomach in 13 patients with gastroparesis. After a baseline recording for 30 min, gastric pacing was performed in a number of sessions with different effective parameters, ea...
متن کاملAbnormal gastric slow waves in patients with functional dyspepsia assessed by multichannel electrogastrography.
The aim of this study was to utilize multichannel electrogastrography to investigate whether patients with functional dyspepsia had impaired propagation or coordination of gastric slow waves in the fasting state compared with healthy controls. The study was performed in 10 patients with functional dyspepsia and 11 healthy subjects. Gastric myoelectrical activity was measured by using surface el...
