    Notes: Abstract The efficacy and safety of omeprazole, 40 mg once daily for four to eight weeks of treatment, were studied in 61 patients with ulcerative reflux esophagitis. A double-blind controlled study design was used, and the patients were randomly allocated to treatment with either omeprazole 40 mg once daily or ranitidine 150 mg twice daily. Endoscopy was performed prior to inclusion into the study, after four weeks and, if unhealed, again after eight weeks. Healing of esophagitis was defined as complete disappearance of all esophageal ulcerations. Symptoms were recorded before entry, after four weeks, and again after eight weeks in unhealed patients. Fifty-one patients were included in the per-protocol analysis at day 29, and 50 patients at day 57. The healing rate after four weeks of treatment was 22 of 26 patients (85%) treated with omeprazole and 10 of 25 patients (40%) treated with ranitidine (P〈0.001). The corresponding figures after eight weeks were 24 of 25 (96%), and 13 of 25 (52%) (P〈0.001). These results were confirmed in the intent-to-treat analysis. Patients treated with omeprazole showed a significantly faster and more profound relief in heartburn than patients treated with ranitidine: 85% had no heartburn after four weeks of treatment with omeprazole compared to 24% in patients treated with ranitidine (P=0.00007). The percentage of patients who were free of all reflux symptoms was significantly greater in the omeprazole-treated group as compared to the ranitidine-treated group (62% and 12% respectively, P=0.0001). There were no clinically significant changes in laboratory values in any of the treatment groups. Adverse events were few and mainly mild and transient.

    [*C]Octanoic acid breath test to measure gastric emptying rate of solids (1994)

    Notes: Abstract We have developed a breath test to measure solid gastric emptying using a standardized scrambled egg test meal (250 kcal) labeled with [14C]octanoic acid or [13C]octanoic acid.In vitro incubation studies showed that octanoic acid is a reliable marker of the solid phase. The breath test was validated in 36 subjects by simultaneous radioscintigraphic and breath test measurements. Nine healthy volunteers were studied after intravenous administration of 200 mg erythromycin and peroral administration of 30 mg propantheline, respectively. Erythromycin significantly enhanced gastric emptying, while propantheline significantly reduced gastric emptying rates. We conclude that the [*C]octanoic breath test is a promising and reliable test for measuring the gastric emptying rate of solids.

    How well can quantitative 24-hour intraesophageal pH monitoring distinguish various degrees of reflux disease? (1995)

    Notes: Abstract Twenty-four normal subjects and 64 symptomatic patients with various degrees of reflux disease (24 with reflux symptoms without esophagitis and 21 with mild and 19 with severe esophagitis) underwent quantitative 24-hr intraesophageal pH monitoring. Various reflux parameters during supine, interprandial, and postprandial periods were examined by binary logistic regression and by CART analysis to determine the sensitivity and specificity to separate the various groups of subjects and patients. The distinction was excellent between asymptomatic controls and patients with severe erosive esophagitis (sensitivity and specificity both 100% by logistic regression and 95% and 88%, respectively, by CART), but discrimination was poor when asymptomatic controls were compared to symptomatic patients without esophagitis (71% and 79% by logistic regression and 75% and 92% by CART), which is the most important indication for pH recording in clinical practice. A 3-hr postprandial pH recording was inadequate to distinguish the various groups. The acidity of the reflux episodes during the night appeared to be a crucial factor in the development of severe erosive esophagitis. The duration of esophageal acid exposure was another important factor in the development of reflux lesions.

    Adaptive method for cancellation of respiratory artefact in electrogastric measurements (1989)

    Notes: Abstract Electrogastic measurements are useful for medical research and in clinical diagnosis. The measurements, however, contain very heavy respiratory artefact. Existing conventional frequency-domain filters cannot be used because of the possible overlap of the frequencies of the gastric signals and respiratory artefact. In the paper, the methods of measuring cutaneous and intraluminal gastric signals and reference respiratory signals are described. An adaptive cancellation technique is developed, which is simple and easy to implement for online processing. It is proved by experiments to be very efficient, i.e. the respiratory artefact can be completely cancelled, while the gastric signal component is not affected. Other possible applications in biomedical signal analysis are also discussed.

    Adaptive spectral analysis of cutaneous electrogastric signals using autoregressive moving average modelling (1990)
    Springer

    Notes: Abstract The recording of the human, gastric myoelectrical activity, by means of cutaneous electrodes is called electrogastrography (EGG). It provides a noninvasive method of studying electrogastric behaviour. The normal frequency of the gastric signal is about 0·05 Hz. However, sudden changes of its frequency have been observed and are generally considered to be related to gastric motility disorders. Thus, spectral analysis, especially online spectral analysis, can serve as a valuable tool for practical purposes. The paper presents a new method of the adaptive spectral analysis of cutaneous electrogastric signals using autoregressive moving average (ARMA) modelling. It is based on an adaptive ARMA filter and provides both time and frequency information of the signal. Its performance is investigated in comparison with the conventional FFT-based periodogram method. Its properties in tracking time-varying instantaneous frequencies are shown. Its applications to the running spectral analysis of cutaneous electrogastric signals are presented. The proposed adaptive ARMA spectral analysis method is easy to implement and is efficient in computations. The results presented in the paper show that this new method provides a better performance and is very useful for the online monitoring of cutaneous electrogastric signals.

    Observation of the propagation direction of human electrogastric activity from cutaneous recordings (1989)

    Keywords: Electrogastrography ; Gastric activity ; Phase shift

    Topics: Biology , Chemistry and Pharmacology , Medicine
    Notes: Abstract Electrogastric signals have been successfully measured both intraluminally and cutaneously. although it has been claimed by several researchers that the propagation direction of the electrogastric activities cannot be observed from cutaneous recordings, it is the aim of the paper to show that it is feasible. The reason why the propagation direction has never been observed from cutaneous recordings is that the reported methods for the abdominal measurements are not adequate. In the paper it is pointed out that the stomach should be localised before the measurement and the electrodes should be attached along the longitudinal axis of the stomach.
