2. 1. Upper gastrointestinal dysmotility - from endocrinological pathogenesis to symptoms

   Author : Julia Borg; Enheten för kroniska inflammatoriska och degenerativa sjukdomar; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; oxytocin; gastroparesis; functional dyspepsia; upper gastrointestinal dysmotility; CCK; gastrin; vasopressin; esophageal dysmotility; satiety; diabetes mellitus; endocrine dysregulation; gastric emptying; gastric emptying scintigraphy; gastric emptying manometry; autonomic neuropathy;

   Abstract : Gastrointestinal dysmotility is common, particularly in patients with diabetes mellitus. The aim of this thesis is to explore whether gastrointestinal dysmotility and endocrine secretion are interrelated, and how the symptoms manifest themselves in these patients. READ MORE

4. 2. Introducing a Clinically Applicable Ultrasound Method for the Study of Gastric Emptying in Health and Disease. A Study in Healthy Subjects and Patients with Diabetes Mellitus

   Author : Gassan Darwiche; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Ultrasound; Gastric emptying; Diabetes mellitus; Autonomic nervous function; Dietary fibre; Glycaemic index; Sodium propionate; Organic acids.; Gastroenterologi; Gastro-enterology; Scintigraphy;

   Abstract : Abnormal gastric motor function, a frequent complication among the increasing diabetic population of the world, also includes other patient groups such as those many patients with functional dyspepsia. These facts stress the need for a reliable, safe, cost-effective, and simple technique for measuring gastric emptying. READ MORE

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

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

   Abstract : 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. READ MORE

6. 4. Reconstruction in the gastroesophageal junction- from routine to advanced

   Author : Pauline Djerf; Lund Kirurgi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Gastroesophageal junction; Antireflux surgery; Esophagectomy; Gastric tube; Epiphrenic diverticula.;

   Abstract : The general aim of the thesis was to contribute to a more evidenced based framework in the surgical treatment of diseases in the gastroesophageal junction (GEJ), by comparing outcome, measured by complication and survival rates, and evaluate different reconstructions regarding long-term symptoms and quality of life (QoL). The GEJ is a poorly defined anatomic area that represents the lower part of the esophagus and its’ junction to the proximal stomach. READ MORE

7. 5. Gastroesephageal reflux and related motility disorders after esophageal atresia : a clinical study

   Author : Madeleine Montgomery; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Esophageal atresia; tracheoesophageal fistula; gastroesophageal reflux; esophageal pH monitoring; respiratory function; gastric emptying; videomanometry STOCKHOLM 1997;

   Abstract : The most common congenital malformation of the esophagus is esophageal atresia (EA) with or without tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF). Successful repair of EA does not ensure normal esophageal function. Disturbed esophageal motility and gastroesophageal reflux (GER) are often detected after repair of EA. READ MORE
