    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

  5. 3. 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

  6. 4. Capsule endoscopy in the diagnosis of small bowel disease

    Author : Charlotte Höög; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Capsule endoscopy (CE) is a method for examining the small bowel by means of an ingested encapsulated video camera, propelled by peristalsis, to continuously take images during its passage through the gastrointestinal tract. The method has been in clinical use in Sweden since 2002 and is considered user-friendly and well tolerable by patients. READ MORE

  7. 5. Neural control of colonic epithelial transport, motility and permeability in vivo. An experimental study in anaesthetized rats

    Author : Ying Sun; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; enteric nervous system; colonic motility; transmural potential difference; net; fluid transport; permeability; bile acid; nitric oxide; inflammatory bowel disease;

    Abstract : Colonic dysfunction may result in diarrhoea, abdominal pain or constipation, andinflammatory bowel disease, bile acid malabsorption and particularly irritable bowelsyndrome are very common disorders. The role of the enteric nervous system (ENS) inthese diseases is largely unknown. READ MORE
