  1. 21. The small bowel and functional dyspepsia : peptide hormones and neurotransmitters

    Författare :Anne-Barbara Witte; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Functional dyspepsia (FD) is believed to be caused by pathophysiological changes in the upper gut. Gastro-intestinal motility, epithelial transport and signalling is associated with the metabolism of nutrients and the complex regulation of hunger and satiety. Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and peptide YY (PYY) are considered “hot targets”. LÄS MER

  3. 22. Evaluations of measurement techniques in functional dyspepsia : electrogastrography, satiety drinking test and 14C-urea breath test

    Författare :Shahab Abid; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :functional dyspepsia; electrogastrography; 14C urea breath test; satiety drinking test;

    Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to evaluate the clinical usefulness of certain measurement techniques that may be helpful in the understanding of functional dyspepsia (FD). Electrogastrography (EGG) parameters were evaluated and found unable to discriminate one specific motility disorder from other motility disorders of the gut. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Helicobacter pylori : multitalented adaptation of binding properties

    Författare :Sara Henriksson; Thomas Borén; Göran Larson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Helicobacter pylori; adherence; receptor specificity; adaptation; pH; BabA; Leb; recombination; secretor phenotype; recombinant cell lines;

    Sammanfattning : Helicobacter pylori infects and persistently colonizes the stomach, which results in gastritis and in some individuals peptic ulcer disease or gastric cancer. Adherence of H. pylori to the epithelium is an important factor for development of disease. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Changes in Gastrointestinal Function and Patient-scored Symptoms after Bariatric Surgery

    Författare :Khalid Elias; Magnus Sundbom; Ville Wallenius; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : The obesity pandemic is rapidly increasing. Individuals with obesity are affected by obesity-related comorbidities, reduced life expectancy, and reduced quality of life. The most effective treatment for obesity and its comorbidities is bariatric surgery, restoring the physical component of quality of life. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Aspects on luminal nitric oxide in relation to oesophageal acid exposure and mucosal integrity

    Författare :Mogens Bove; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :nitric oxide; nitric oxide synthase; acid; gastro-esophageal reflux disease; membrane potentials; saliva; nitrate; blood flow; ferret; histopathology;

    Sammanfattning : Nitric oxide (NO) exerts important neuromuscular control of the oesophagus, but little is known about the sources and effects of the NO present in the distal oesophageal lumen. These questions were presently addressed in both human and animal experiments. LÄS MER
