BACKGROUND High-frequency gastric electrical stimulation is a new therapeutic option to improve refractory nausea and vomiting, in gastroparetic patients. Its effects on gastric emptying are, however, inconstant and limited. Therefore, we have hypothesized that high-frequency gastric electrical

BACKGROUND Gastroparesis is a chronic gastric disorder characterized by delayed gastric emptying without mechanical obstruction, and clinical symptoms as postprandial fullness, early satiety, bloating, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Prokinetic agents are used for the treatment of

OBJECTIVE Chronic renal failure (CRF) patients frequently suffer from dyspeptic complaints such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension, early satiety and anorexia. The aim of the present study was to define the prevalence of dyspeptic complaints and delayed gastric emptying in CRF

OBJECTIVE The objective of the present study was to measure gastric emptying time of solids and semisolids in dyspeptic individuals with cholecystolithiasis before and 6 months after cholecystectomy in order to determine whether cholecystectomy interferes with gastric emptying. METHODS A

OBJECTIVE To determine the role of duodenogastro-esophageal reflux (DGER) in the pathogenesis of refractory gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) in children. METHODS Twenty-two patients (12 boys, mean age, 13.2 years) with GERD symptoms that persisted on omeprazole (1 mg/kg) underwent upper

The purpose of our study was to evaluate the effects of a new nonantibiotic motilide derived from erythromycin, EM574, on gastric emptying and to evaluate its safety. Thirty healthy volunteers received one of five oral doses of EM574 (5, 10, 20, 30 mg and placebo) in a randomized, double-blind,

BACKGROUND Advanced pancreatic cancer and other malignancies located proximal to the small bowel might cause gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) resulting in nausea, vomiting, dehydration, and malnutrition. Self-expandable metal stents (SEMS) to a large extent have replaced surgical treatment, with

The present study compared the clinical effectiveness of electroacupuncture (EA), monotherapy and combination therapy involving the administration of EA and mosapride in diabetic patients with severe or mild symptoms suggestive of gastroparesis. A total of 56 patients with type 2 diabetes who had

BACKGROUND The aim was to compare gastric emptying rate and nutrient tolerance during a satiety drinking test in children with functional dyspepsia (FD) and obesity and to study the relationship between daily caloric intake and the satiety drinking test. METHODS A total of 28 dyspeptic children (22

BACKGROUND Erythromycin, a motilin agonist, is a potent prokinetic. ABT-229 is a specific motilin agonist that dose dependently accelerates gastric emptying. Dyspepsia and gastroparesis are common problems in type 1 diabetes mellitus. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of ABT-229 in symptomatic

OBJECTIVE Peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients frequently suffer from dyspeptic complaints such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension, early satiety, and anorexia. Gastroparesis might be, at least partially, a source of dyspeptic complaints in PD patients. The aim of the present study was to

BACKGROUND Drugs which accelerate gastric emptying (GE) decrease nausea and vomiting. This could contribute to the antiemetic potential of subhypnotic doses of propofol. On the contrary, subhypnotic doses of propofol used for sedation could decrease GE and thus favor regurgitation and pulmonary

We investigated the effects of modifying a normal dietary fatty acid composition and ingestion of high-fat exercise supplements on gastrointestinal distress, substrate oxidation, and endurance cycling performance. Nine well-trained male cyclists completed a randomized triple-crossover comprising a

Hemodialysis patients frequently experience such dyspeptic symptoms as nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension, early satiety, and anorexia. Gastroparesis might be a cause of malnutrition, and parameters of gastric emptying are inversely correlated with serum albumin levels. The aim of the present

OBJECTIVE Dysmotility, nausea and vomiting are common among children with cerebral palsy. This study aimed to evaluate influence of protein composition on rate of gastric emptying and study the relation between gastric emptying and postprandial gastrointestinal symptoms. METHODS 15 children with
