Objective: To evaluate a novel non-invasive and harmless biomagnetic technique to
measure orocaecal transit time. Design: A biomagnetic method was employed to measure …

The techniques commonly used to evaluate the transit of contents through the gut feature
some limitations for being either inaccurate, invasive, inconvenient, or potentially dangerous …

The definition of the orocoecal transit time by means of the hydrogen (H2) breath test is not
unequivocal. In this study the orocoecal transit time as measured with an H2 breath test was …

The aim of this work was to determine the oesophageal transit time (OTT) of a bolus using
the biomagnetic technique and compare the results to those obtained by means of …

A new method for the measurement of small intestinal transit time is described. An externally
applied magnetic transducer senses the presence of an ingested ferromagnetic material--50 …

Orocecal transit time was measured simultaneously by the hydrogen breath test and a
barium meal study in 12 hospitalized patients, the objective being to determine whether the …

Few gastroenterologists would underrate the importance of gastrointestinal motility in the
pathogenesis ofgutsymptoms, particularly as the majority of clinic patients have functional …

Orocecal transit time can be studied easily using the hydrogen breath test with lactulose, but
the method has some important limitations. The orocecal transit time of 10 patients suffering …

The within-subject repeatability of orocecal transit assessed with lactulose hydrogen breath
test was evaluated in 15 healthy volunteers and 16 constipated or obese patients. The test …

AS THE importance of gastrointestinal motility in the pathogenesis of gut symptoms
becomes clear, gastroenterologists are showing increasing interest in simple, reliable and …
