These autologous constructs have the potential to be used as (1) functional replacement organs and (2) physiologically relevant models to investigate human pyloric sphincter disorders.doi:10.1016/S0016-5085(15)30402-9Stephen Lee RegoElie Zakhem...
To the Editor: The paper by Fisher and Cohen, "Pyloric-Sphincter Dysfunction in Patients with Gastric Ulcer" (N Engl J Med 288:273–276, 1973), showing pyloric incompetency in patients with gastric ulcer, both active and healed, raises some interesting questions. Pyloroplasty, which disrupts...
Given this, an increased prevalence of dyspepsia and ulcers would be expected in the long-term course after pyloromyotomy if the procedure resulted in a disrupted pyloric sphincter mechanism. The few previously performed long-term follow up studies on this topic have all, to some extent, ...
To prevent the occurrence of aspiration pneumonia induced by vomiting and the induction of contraction of gastric smooth muscles and pyloric sphincters, isotonic drinking solution was fed orally as the infantile patient wanted until the vomiting subsided. When no vomiting was observed for about half ...
Objective To study the practical erperience of pyloric sphincter incision and figuration for the patients who undertook the uppergastrectomy. Methods There were 44 patients received uppergastrectomy from 1998 to 2002,we compared the rate of severe gastricism and gastric empty dysfunction without pyloric...

Systems and methods affect tightening of the pyloric sphincter and/or serve to mediate or moderate receptive relaxation of muscles in the stomach, to treat or mitigate various physiologic conditions, such as obesity, biliary reflex, GERD... DAVID S. Utley,RACHEL E. Croft,JOHN W. Graiser - EP...
There are currently no endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) criteria for the diagnosis or differentiation of this benign splenic anomaly from pathologic disorders including neoplasms. The purpose of this study was to characterize EUS features and develop criteria for the diagnosis of accessory spleen. Methods: ...
At 7 years (patient 1) and 2 years (patient 2) after the operation, both are well, and no gastrointestinal disorders are present. Good competence of the pyloric sphincter has been confirmed by x-ray barium meal in both cases, and by HIDA technetium 99m hepatic scintiscan and esophagog...
Introduction: Botulinum toxin A (BoNT A) is increasingly being used therapeutically to reduce smooth muscle tone in a variety of gastrointestinal disorders. However, the neuromuscular effects of this drug in the unique environment of the enteric nervous system have not been well studied. Our aim ...
