2. 1. Gastrointestinal Permeability and Motility in Inflammatory Bowel Disease

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

   Abstract : 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. READ MORE

4. 2. Liver cirrhosis-epidemiological and Clinical Aspects

   Author : Steingerður Anna Gunnarsdóttir; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : Liver cirrhosis; etiology; alcoholic liver disease; mortality; portal hypertension; esophageal varices; variceal bleeding; hepatitis C; hepatocellular cancer; malignancies; small intestinal motility; small intestinal bacterial overgrowth;

   Abstract : Liver cirrhosis is the end-stage of many different chronic liver diseases. Limited data exists on the epidemiology, natural history and complications of liver cirrhosis such as esophageal varices and malignancies in the Nordic countries after the discovery of hepatitis C (HCV).

5. 3. Gastroduodenal epithelial transport in patients with cystic fibrosis

   Author : Karin Edshage Hallberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cystic fibrosis; CFTR; intestinal motility; gastric secretion; IgA; Ussing chamber; intestinal permeability; genotype;

   Abstract : Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited disease where respiratory failure due to chronic lung infection is the major cause of death. A defective protein, cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) alters chloride epithelial transport. READ MORE

   Keywords : irritable bowel syndrome IBS ; visceral perception; rectal perception; visceral hypersensitivity; gastrointestinal symptoms; hypervigilance; selective attention; stress; small intestinal bacterial overgrowth; rectal barostat; small bowel motility; gastrointestinal dysmotility;

   Abstract : Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a functional gastrointestinal (GI) disorder characterized by abdominal pain and/or discomfort together with abnormal bowel habits. The pathophysiology is complex and incompletely understood. READ MORE

7. 5. Adrenergic control of small intestinal motility and blood flow : an experimental study in rat and man

   Author : Mikael Thollander; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : clonidine; computerized recording; intestinal blood flow; isoprenaline; laser Doppler flownretry; manometry; migrating motor complex; oxymetazoline; propranolol; small intestine;

   Abstract : Small intestinal motility in the fasted state is characterized by migrating motor complexes (MMCs). Both animals and man exhibit the MMC, which consists of periods of regular contractions, i.e. activity fronts, that migrate along the length of the small bowel and alternate with periods of quiescence.
