Gastric emptying and gastric secretion are two major physiological functions of the stomach. The assessment of these functions in particular in small animals is challenging; no method currently available allows the simultaneous measurement of both functions, and methods used are lethal or invasive and often limited by spatial, temporal, or quantitative resolution. Here, we report the establishm...

the food and feeding habit of beardless barb, cyclocheilichthys apogon (valenciennes, 1842), from family cyprinidae was investigated by stomach content analyses of 374 collected fish in two consecutive reservoirs; temengor and bersia reservoirs which are separated by temengor dam. the main aim of this study was to compare the stomach contents of c. apogon between these two reservoirs in wet and...

We have been accustomed to regard chronic dyspeptics as, like the poor, always with us. The enrichments of modern surgery, however, enable us to restore many of them to health, by establishing an alternative route for the gastric contents, providing free exit in stasis, physiological rest when necessary for healing, and early neutralisation in hyperacidity. In conjunction with various medical m...

BACKGROUND Determination of seabird diet usually relies on the analysis of stomach-content remains obtained through stomach flushing; this technique is both invasive and logistically difficult. We evaluate the usefulness of DNA-based faecal analysis in a dietary study on chick-rearing macaroni penguins (Eudyptes chrysolophus) at Heard Island. Conventional stomach-content data was also collected...

Trophic studies of summer flounder Paralichthys dentatus have relied on traditional stomach content analyses to infer contributions of prey to species productivity. We applied both stable isotope and stomach content analyses to identify prey groups that are responsible for summer flounder productivity in lower Chesapeake Bay and to explore ontogenetic patterns in prey utilization. Summer flound...

Gastric leaks represent serious complications of bariatric surgery. With the increasing popularity and performance of bariatric procedures, the incidence of leaks and associated complications are expected to increase. Minimally invasive natural orifice surgery represents a novel and promising approach to gastric leak management, especially for morbidly obese patients who are at much higher risk...

REVIEWING the life histories of the patients with ulcers, Mittelniann and Wolff found that the patients had been subject to prolonged emotional turmoil, involving mainly conflict, anxiety, guilt, hostility and resentment. During periods of experimentally induced anxiety, hostility and resentment, they found a rise in acidity and increased contractions in the stomachs of all the patients sufferi...
