1. Gastric electrical stimulation. Studies in patients with intractable nausea and vomiting
Sammanfattning : The most severe cases of gastroparesis are refractory to drugs. In the 1990s gastric electrical stimulation (GES) was introduced for treatment of nausea and vomiting in patients with diabetic and idiopathic gastroparesis. The electrodes and neurostimulator are usually placed with laparoscopy. LÄS MER
2. The Renin Angiotensin System in the Human Esophageal Mucosa − expression, actions and potential involvement in reflux disease
Sammanfattning : The renin angiotensin system (RAS) is a classical endocrine system, regulating body fluid balance and blood circulation. Recent research has shown that the system is being also locally expressed and active in several organs and tissues. LÄS MER
3. Peripherally administered choleocystokinin-8 increases neurotrophins in the brain
Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to test the hypothesis that the gastric hormone Cholecystokinin-8 (CCK-8) can modulate the production of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) in the brain. NGF is the first discovered and the best characterized neurotrophic factor which plays a crucial role in the survival and development of basal forebrain cholinergic neurons (BFCN). LÄS MER
4. The small bowel and functional dyspepsia : peptide hormones and neurotransmitters
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
5. Intestinal Bypass and Total Parenteral Nutrition: Changes in Gut Function and Morphology
Sammanfattning : Abolition of enteral nutrition is sometimes required in severe illness. The primary aim of the present work has been to elucidate possible changes in intestinal morphology and motor function in absence of enteral nutrition. Total absence of enteral nutrition in an isolated intestinal segment was created by bypassing the distal ileum in a rat model. LÄS MER
