Factors governing gastrointestinal motility
… investigates the putative role of changes in gastrointestinal (GI) motility and GI hormones as well as the possible significance of alterations in energy expenditure that occur as a consequence of weight loss.Methodology: My preliminary studies involved a systematic review of GI motility in …

Gastrointestinal motility and the role of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)
… gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and gastrointestinal symptoms and dysmotility. In primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS), a patient group with high levels of GnRH antibodies, associations between objective signs and symptoms of autonomic dysfunction (AD), impaired gastric emptying (IGE), …

Hirschsprung´s Disease & Gastroesophageal Reflux. Aspects on Two Gastrointestinal Motility Disorders in Childhood
Gastrointestinal motility disorders are common in childhood and in this thesis we look at two of them, i.e. Hirschsprung´s Disease (HD) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in five different studies. HD is a congenital disease characterized by an abscence of ganglion cells in myenteric and …

A Molecular Basis for Macrophage Control of Enteric Nervous System Function
… intestine propels food down the length of the gastrointestinal tract to promote nutrient absorption. Interactions between intestinal macrophages and the enteric nervous system regulate gastrointestinal motility, yet we have an incomplete understanding of the molecular mediators of this …

The effects of bit chewing on gastric emptying and orocecal transit times in clinically normal horses
… small intestinal surgery, leading to prolonged gastrointestinal (GI) transit time which can be life-threatening. Various prokinetic medications have been associated with varying side effects, questionable efficacy, and increased cost. Gum chewing as a form of sham feeding is used as a safe, …

Auswirkungen von Propofol und Fentanyl auf die gastroduodenale Motilität bei Schweinen gemessen mit der multiplen intraluminalen Impedanzometrie
Dysfunctions of gastrointestinal motility are still a major expense in intensive care. This study was performed in order to determine the effects of Propofol and Fentanyl on postprandial gastroduodenal motility of awake pigs using the intraluminal impedance technique. After conditioning the pigs …

Gastrointestinal (GI) Motility is Unaltered by Feeding in Zebrafish
Gastrointestinal motility patterns in humans are not constant and respond to the luminal contents and nutrient status (Degen and Phillips, 1996). The zebrafish is a new model system for human GI motility and regulation of motility patterns appears to be controlled by enteric neurons and …

Gastro-duodenal motility & nutrition in the critically ill.
… reports studies designed to characterise the gastrointestinal dysfunction underlying feed intolerance in the critically ill, as well as the pathophysiology of these dysfunctions, and investigate potential therapeutic measures. While it has been established that enteral nutrition is frequently …

Intrinsic Neural Control of Propulsion, Storage and Slow Transit in the Large Intestine.
… nervous system regulates specific aspects of gastrointestinal motility. We have identified, despite over 100 years of gastrointestinal research, a new intrinsic neural reflex that appears to underlie slow transit and accommodation in the large bowel. Using electrophysiological techniques we …

The role of the free fatty acid, lauric acid, in appetite regulation and its potential as an appetite-suppressant.
… fat, in the small intestine modulates gastrointestinal function and subsequent energy intake, and it is well established that the digestion of fat into free fatty acids is required for these effects to occur. Furthermore, the effects of fatty acids are dependent on their chain length. …

Investigation into the use of an epidural morphine sulfate and detomidine hydrochloride combination in horses: Part 1: efficacy in alleviation of hindlimb pain, Part 2: long-term systemic and local effects
… temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate and gastrointestinal motility were recorded twice daily, and daily hay and water consumption was measured. Horses were euthanatized day 15. Atlanto-occipital cerebrospinal fluid samples were submitted for bacteriologic culture and determination of white …

Exploring Gastro-oesophageal Reflux in Infants and Children
… with neurodisability, given their affected gastrointestinal motility, alternative feeding strategies (e.g. tube feeding), multiple interacting medications, and issues with communication. I have developed a symptom tool based on modification of the PGSQ (Paediatric Gastro-oesophageal Reflux …

Sympathy for the Microbiota: How Changes in Gut Microbial Composition Influence the Immune System and Basic Physiology by Way of the Sympathetic Nervous System
… enteric associated neurons (iEAN) and intestinal motility. Reciprocally, iEAN express colony-stimulating factor 1 (CSF1), which may play a role in the local maintenance and differentiation of MM. Both axes of this crosstalk occur during normal, steady-state conditions and are dependent upon the …
