Therapeutic Potential of Gastric Electrical Stimulation for Obesity,ures are currently the only effective long-term therapies for treating obesity. Due to mortality and morbidity, the bariatric surgery is limited to a subset of patients with morbid obesity. In this chapter we present an overview of an emerging anti-obesity therapy: gastric electrical stimulation (GE

While electrogastrography allows assessment of slow wave frequency dynamics, physical limitations introduced by abdominal volume conduction present situations in which magnetic field measurement may prove advantageous. For the gastric slow wave, spatiotemporal characteristics assoc

Abnormalities in these motor patterns remain a leading hypothesis to explain the cause of functional colonic disorders such as constipation. However, whilst manometric catheters are used as one of the primary tools to record colonic motor patterns, we are as yet unable

Spatiotemporal Mapping Techniques for Quantifying Gut Motility,ct. Basic mapping techniques extract the movement of gut organ boundaries from a sequence of images and condense this information into 2D maps. More complex techniques determine the extent to which locations on the gut organ are lengthening or shortening in a particular direction and also present th

The dynamics that develop within the GI tract are the result of a complex and self-regulated interplay between the physical properties of the intraluminal contents and the motor responses of the GI wall.
