Motor patterns of the distal small bowel were defined in healthy humans, using a multilumen
polyvinyl tube, passed by mouth in 11 healthy subjects. Five recording sites, spanning 100 …

To measure simultaneously motility and flow of intestinal contents, a multilumen polyvinyl
tube was passed by mouth in 10 healthy volunteers. Motility was recorded at five sites …

Intraluminal pressures and motility indexes were recorded from ileum, ascending colon,
rectosigmoid colon, and rectum of 6 healthy men. Three different test meals were eaten at 5 …

In most fasting mammals, motility of the foregut and small intestine undergoes regular cycles
of activity. Much of the expanding knowledge of this phenomenon comes from species other …

This study presents normal values of bowel habits, colonic transit times of radioopaque
markers, and anorectal pressure obtained from 114 normal subjects. Their stool frequency …

We recorded human jejunal motor activity by a 12-lumen manometric tube with recording
sites 2 cm apart. The contractile activity in the fasted and the fed state was analyzed by …

The study of the motor function of the small intestine has come a long way from those not-so-
far off days when the fluoroscopic examination of the passage of barium and pressure …

As yet, there is limited information about the relationship of colonic motility to colonic flow or
transit. The overall flow in the colon is slow and highly variable. The measurement of total …

Profiles for gastric emptying and colonic filling were determined in 20 normal volunteers by
means of a gamma camera and dedicated minicomputer after ingestion of a radiolabeled …

The earliest observations were those of Schwarz (1911), who made serial tracings of the
outline of the bowel on a fluoroscopic screen and showed that haustral movements occurred …
