In this animal study, direct postoperative electrical stimulation of the sigmoid colon shortened the length of postoperative ileus in an animal model. ABSTRACT Introduction Postoperative ileus (POI) is a condition characterized by a transient cessation of gastrointestinal function caused by surgical trauma and represents a clinical challenge after ...

Urogynecologic Symptoms Are Not Specific to Anatomic Region of Digestive Symptoms
Urogynecologic symptoms are common in patients with DGBIs, regardless of the affected area of the GI tract. We recommend screening for these symptoms in all patients with chronic GI symptoms. ABSTRACT Background/Aims Many patients with digestive symptoms describe underlying urinary or gynecologic symptoms, which may increase visceral sensitivity in the

Predicting Symptomatic Response to Prokinetic Treatment Using Gastric Alimetry
Gastric Alimetry biomarkers may help in the prediction of prokinetic response in patients with chronic gastroduodenal symptoms. Lower postprandial amplitudes, indicating a reduced meal response, appear to predict benefit. ABSTRACT Background Chronic neurogastroduodenal disorders are challenging to manage, with therapy often initiated on a trial and ...

Experimental study design. Mice were immunized with either α‐Lactalbumin or casein, and the resulting pathology of the enteric nervous system (ENS) was assessed using electron microscopy and immunofluorescence imaging. In vitro culture of isolated cells of the ENS was used to complement the in vivo findings.
