  1. 1. Gastrointestinal transit in health and disease

    Författare :Riadh Sadik; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Small bowel transit; colonic transit; gastric emptying; gender; bile acid malabsorption; body mass index; celiac disease; portal hypertension; menopause;

    Sammanfattning : The uptake of nutrients occurs mainly in the small bowel. However, the time nutrients and other contents spend in the small bowel, i.e. the small bowel transit time is widely uncharacterised in man. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Capsule endoscopy in the diagnosis of small bowel disease

    Författare :Charlotte Höög; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Capsule endoscopy (CE) is a method for examining the small bowel by means of an ingested encapsulated video camera, propelled by peristalsis, to continuously take images during its passage through the gastrointestinal tract. The method has been in clinical use in Sweden since 2002 and is considered user-friendly and well tolerable by patients. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Development of nuclear medicine methods for gastric and small bowel motility : effects of GLP-1 on gastric emptying

    Författare :Per Grybäck; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Gastric emptying; ghrelin; glucagon-like peptide-1; 99mTc-HIDA; obesity; radionuclide investigation; small bowel transit.;

    Sammanfattning : The diagnosis of functional disorders of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract requires techniques being both sufficiently sensitive to detect disturbances of the normal physiology and low-invasive enough not to interfere with the properties being studied. The purpose was to set up nuclear medicine methods for assessment of upper GI tract motility and study the effect of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) on gastric emptying. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Gastrointestinal Permeability and Motility in Inflammatory Bowel Disease

    Författare :Anas Kh. Al-Saffar; Per Hellström; Dominic-Luc Webb; Åsa Keita; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Gastrointestinal motility; intestinal permeability; Mucosal; Ghrelin; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Sammanfattning : Synchronized motility, permeability and secretory (hormones and enzymes) events are integral to normal physiology. Smooth muscle syncytium operates with enteric nervous system (ENS) and endocrine signalling to accommodate, mix and control passage of ingested materials. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Implementation of gut-directed hypnotherapy for irritable bowel syndrome in clinical practice

    Författare :Perjohan Lindfors; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; IBS; Gut-directed Hypnotherapy; Patient satisfaction; GI motility;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is characterized by recurrent abdominal pain or discomfort, related to abnormal bowel habits. This benign and common condition is in severe cases associated with bothersome GI symptoms, decreased quality of life and psychological comorbidity. LÄS MER
