Anorectal Manometry as a Tool to Determine the Necessity of Rectal Biopsy in Children with Severe Chronic Constipation

Majallah-i Dānishgāh-i ̒Ulūm-i Pizishkī-i Bābul, 2011
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Constipation is one of the most common disorders of gastrointestinal tract in children. Anorectal manometry (AM) is a non-invasive procedure to determine its etiology.

Diabetic gastroenteropathy: Associations between gastrointestinal symptoms, motility, and extraintestinal autonomic measures

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
We found no associations between gastrointestinal and extraintestinal measures of diabetic autonomic neuropathy. Nonetheless, gastrointestinal symptoms increased with the severity of cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy and were associated with gastrointestinal measures.

Smooth Muscle Mechanosensitivity Generates and Maintains Pressure Gradients Across the Intestine

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
Mechanosensitivity of the smooth muscle induces a positive‐feedback loop that spontaneously generates pressure gradients across gut segments and stabilizes initially applied pressure gradients. It can act jointly or compete with the pressure gradient induced by directional peristaltic waves.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Gastric Motility in Conscious Rats

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
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.
