Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Gastric Motility in Conscious Rats
By training rats to remain awake inside an MRI scanner, we can now noninvasively scan their gastrointestinal tracts without using anesthesia. This allows us to assess gastric motility and emptying in conscious rats without the various confounding effects that anesthesia might cause.

Small Intestinal Slow Wave Dysrhythmia and Blunted Postprandial Responses in Diabetic Rats
Intestinal myoelectrical activity was recorded via chronically implanted serosal electrodes in the proximal small intestine in rats with type 2 diabetes and normal rats. Diabetic rats exhibit a blunted postprandial response in intestinal slow waves compared with normal rats, suggesting an absence of gastric‐small intestinal reflex in diabetic rats ...

Diabetic Gastroparesis: Perspectives From a Patient and Health Care Providers
Gastroparesis is defined as a delay in gastric emptying in the absence of mechanical obstruction in the stomach. Gastroparesis has a number of causes, including postsurgical, secondary to medications, postinfectious, idiopathic, and as a complication of ...

Following TESS treatment, reported number of heartburn and regurgitation events in patients with GERD decreased by 68.3% and 78.5%, respectively. Esophageal AET and DeMeester score decreased by 74.5% (SD 31.9%) and 82.3% (SD 26.8%), respectively. TESS is a useful, safe device, effectively reduces both symptoms and AET in GERD patients.

Acute enhancement of cardiac vagal efficiency (VE) is demonstrated with active compared to sham percutaneous electrical nerve field stimulation (PENFS). This effect is not found in children chronically exposed to antidepressants with anticholinergic and serotonergic effects. Figure created in BioRender.com.

ABSTRACT Background The scales used to assess disordered eating are often not validated in adults living with gastrointestinal conditions (i.e., gastrointestinal populations). This systematic review and meta‐analysis aimed to examine the psychometric evaluations (i.e., assessments of reliability and validity) of disordered eating scales in adult ...

Gastroparesis is a very common condition, however many times it becomes difficult to manage even after long-term treatment due to multiple etiologies or improper therapy. Patients with severe gastroparesis are considered candidates for gastric electrical

In vitro studies with GI surgical specimens or biopsy are a critical step in translating preclinical studies in animals to humans before testing potential therapeutic interventions in expensive clinical trials. Routine availability of human gut specimens, in combination with technological advances and powerful new in vitro models of the human ENS from ...

Decoding Gastric Reflexes: The Role of Mechanosensitive Enteric Neurons in Stomach Motility
ABSTRACT This review focuses on mechanosensitive enteric neurons (MEN) in the guinea pig stomach and their roles in gastric motor reflex pathways. The guinea pig model is advantageous for studying gastric physiology, as its stomach structure and function closely resemble those of humans. Gastric motility involves distinct functional regions: the fundus
