Prevalence of Hidden Gastroparesis in the Community: The Gastroparesis "Iceberg"
The prevalence of diagnosed gastroparesis is 24.2/100,000 inhabitants, but a large group of people with gastroparesis-like symptoms have never had a gastric emptying (GE) test. Some of them may have undiagnosed gastroparesis. Our aim was to estimate the prevalence of hidden gastroparesis in the community.The study was conducted in 2 parts: (1) Patients

Direct Stimulation of Gastric Smooth Muscle Cells via G<sub>q</sub> Proteins With Light. [PDF]
Optogenetic stimulation enables direct and selective stimulation of smooth muscle cells and thus provides a new opportunity to restore gastric contractility in cases of gastroparesis. Herein, we demonstrate that hOPN5 is a new and effective tool acting via Gq signaling and is thus complementary to light‐induced membrane depolarization with ...
