Enhancement of salivary esophagoprotection: Rationale for a physiological approach to gastroesophageal reflux disease

TL;DR: A profound and significant increase in the secretion rate of inorganic and organic protective components in saliva during masticatory stimulation suggests its potential value as a therapeutic approach to the treatment of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Response of the electric activity in the human stomach to water and a solid meal.

TL;DR: Responses of the gastric electric activity to water and a solid meal was investigated using surface electrodes and it appears that the postprandial EGG amplitude increases because of a combination of stomach contractions and gastric distension bringing the stomach closer to the recording electrodes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of the diaphragmatic contraction on lower oesophageal sphincter pressure in man.

TL;DR: It is suggested that diaphragmatic contraction in man enhances the LOS pressure and this augmentation of sphincter tone may be a vital component of the antireflux mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Misoprostol in the treatment of chronic refractory constipation: results of a long-term open label trial.
