...D. Dougenis; G.N. Morrit; C. Vagianos; S. Farr; A. Hedley-Brown It has been noticed that patients undergoing major lung resection may occasionally develop dysphagia. A prospective study was carried out to evaluate if preoperative or postoperative esophageal motility disorders (EMD) occur...

...X.D. Wang; V. Soltesz; R. Andersson Enteric bacterial overgrowth resulting from compromised gastrointestinal motility has been suggested to be important for the development of enteric bacterial translocation. In the present study, the effect of cisapride, a 5-hydroxytryptamine-4-receptor agonist...

..., n = 12). To assess their influence on graft motility, 9 cm of jejunum were transplanted in an orthotopic position and three bipolar electrodes sutured to the seromuscular layer of the graft (group II, n = 10). Fasting motility was recorded up to postoperative day 42. Animals of group I were...

... of obstruction. Intra-abdominal bacterial contamination did not affect spontaneous slow-wave frequency and spike activity but induced complete resistance to ceruletide stimulation. Pharmacological stimulation is recommended as an additional method to evaluate the impairment of myoelectric activity in motility...

... has been shown to specifically block acetylcholine release in the intestinal wall. Therefore this study investigated the effect of BTA on small intestinal and J-pouch motility after IPAA. Material and Methods: Proctocolectomy and IPAA were performed in 4 dogs. The motility of the small intestine...

...T. Meile; T.T. Zittel Introduction: Ideally, gastrointestinal motility recording should be done in freely moving, stress-free animals. However, no such method is currently available for rats. Methods: Two NiCr electrodes were sutured to the jejunum and connected to an implantable electromyographic...
