Comparison of general and combined anesthesia during laparoscopic colorectal surgery /
… methods on patients’ tracheal extubation time, intestinal motility recovery rate, duration of hospitalization and inflammatory response have been determined. Laparoscopic colorectal resection, even being a minimally invasive technique for laparoscopic surgery, stimulates the body's response to …

The effects of bit chewing on gastric emptying and orocecal transit times in clinically normal horses
Small intestinal ileus affects up to half of all horses undergoing 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 …

Adapt, Survive or Die - Metabolic Imbalances and the Enteric Nervous System
… Obese and T2D patients have high rates of gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms. The GI tract comprises the body’s largest surface to the outside environment; it performs diverse and complex roles in an ever changing external environment. It has evolved into a fine tuned sensory organ, with a complex …

Small intestine slow wave activity defined through in vivo high-resolution electrical mapping
… vital role in the regulationand organisation of intestinal motility. Most previous studies of intestinal slow waves utilised low-resolution techniques, where few electrodes were sparsely placed along the intestine. The lack of spatial resolution allowed for analysis of temporal slow wave …

Neuroglial differentiation and neo-innervation in extracellular matrix-based tissue engineered innervated smooth muscle sheets
… system regulate and coordinate smooth muscle motility. Enteric neurons and glia of the myenteric plexus are organized into ganglia, that are surrounded by an extracellular matrix composed primarily of collagen IV, laminin and heparan sulfate. Disruption of ganglionic integrity, loss or damage …

L'infiammazione intestinale nell'animale sperimentale come modello per lo sviluppo di nuovi farmaci: ruolo della via tachichininergica nelle malattie infiammatorie intestinali
… receptors, termed NK1, NK2 and NK3. SP modulates intestinal motility and enteric secretion, acting preferentially through the NK1 receptor. SP neural network and NK1 receptor expression are increased in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, and similar changes were observed in experimental …

Exploring the function and sensing mechanisms of human enteroendocrine cells using intestinal organoids
… such as nutrient digestion and absorption, intestinal motility, food intake, inflammation, and energy homeostasis. This thesis aimed to characterise hormone-releasing sensing mechanisms adopted by two important types of EECs: K-cells, which secrete glucose-dependent insulinotropic …

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), and …

Sympathy for the Microbiota: How Changes in Gut Microbial Composition Influence the Immune System and Basic Physiology by Way of the Sympathetic Nervous System
<p>The gastro-intestinal tract is the most extensive mucosal surface in mammals and harbors the most numerous immune cell reservoir as well as a complex and autonomous nervous system. The GI tract is continuously exposed to foreign antigen and potentially toxic chemicals through the ingestion of …

Investigation Into The Relationship Between Intestinal Slow Waves, Spike Bursts, and Motility
… the breakdown and digestion of food via motility. Intestinal motility is governed by a multitude of regulatory mechanisms including neuronal, hormonal, myogenic means, and is associated with two bioelectrical events: (i) slow waves generated and propagated by interstitial cells of Cajal, …
