Biomechanics of the gastrointestinal tract
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the physiological and clinical importance of acquiring biomechanical data, distensibility parameters and interpretation of these results and their associated errors and discuss some aspects of the relationship between morphology, growth and biomechanics.

Biomechanics of the Gastrointestinal Tract
Hans Gregersen,Ghassan S. Kassab +1 more
TL;DR: The physiological and clinical importance of acquiring biomechanical data, distensibility parameters and interpretation of these results and their associated errors are discussed and several techniques to study the mechanical properties of the GI tract are outlined.

System and method for measuring cross-sectional areas and pressure gradients in luminal organs
TL;DR: In this paper, an impedance catheter (20) is used to measure the cross-sectional areas and pressure gradients in any hollow organ, such as, for example, blood vessels.

Unexplained chest pain: the hypersensitive, hyperreactive, and poorly compliant esophagus.
TL;DR: Impedance planimetry was used to determine whether a sub-group of patients with unexplained noncardiac chest pain has abnormal biomechanical esophageal muscle properties and abnormal esphageal sensory nerve function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental pain in gastroenterology: a reappraisal of human studies
TL;DR: Although nociceptive reflexes or electrophysiological recordings from selected pathways in the animal nervous system are important in basic research, the central pain mechanisms and associated complex reactions are typically suppressed, and animal experiments can only to some degree reflect the experience of clinical pain in humans.
