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

The relationship between functional dyspepsia and delayed gastric emptying of solids is still unclear. This study evaluated the prevalence of delayed gastric emptying of solids in functional dyspepsia patients and its relationship to dyspeptic symptoms. METHODS 142 patients with functional dyspepsia

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

OBJECTIVE Delayed gastric emptying may be an important contributing factor to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in children, but there are limited data on its evaluation in children with erosive-GERD. This study aims to evaluate the gastric emptying of a solid meal in patients with

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 The aim of this study was to assess gastric emptying and postprandial proximal gastric tone variations depending on the presence of postoperative symptoms after Billroth II gastrectomy (BII). METHODS A total of 16 consecutive patients were prospectively studied 10 +/- 3 months after distal

OBJECTIVE To evaluate gastric emptying of solids in children and adolescents with functional dyspepsia with and without Helicobacter pylori infection. METHODS The study included 27 female patients (mean age 13.38 +/- 2.81 y) with functional dyspepsia according to Rome II criteria who were selected

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
