Gastrointestinal (GI) motility is regulated in part by electrophysiological events called slow
waves, which are generated by the interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC). Slow waves propagate by …

This review provides an overview of our understanding of motility and slow wave
propagation in the stomach. It begins by reviewing seminal studies conducted by W alter C …

Background and objective Detection and labelling of an increment in the human stress level
is a contribution focused principally on improving the quality of life of people. This work is …

The stomach is a central organ in the gastrointestinal tract that performs a variety of
functions, in which the spatio-temporal organisation of active smooth muscle contraction in …

The contraction activation of smooth muscle in the stomach wall (SW) is coordinated by slow
electrical waves. The interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC), specialised pacemaker cells, initiate and …

Goal: Gastric motility disorders have been associated with abnormal slow wave electrical
activity (gastric dysrhythmias). Gastric pacing is a potential therapy for gastric dysrhythmias; …

An anatomically based 3D computational model of the rat stomach was developed using
experimental muscle thickness measurements and muscle fiber orientations for the …

The mammalian gastrointestinal (GI) tract undergoes rapid development during early
postnatal life in order to transition from a milk to solid diet. Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) are …

Gastrointestinal motility is facilitated by specialized pacemaker cells called Interstitial Cells
of Cajal (ICC). ICC play a critical role in coordinating normal motility and its degradation in …

Aims: Left-ventricular-assist-devices (lvad) are an established treatment for patients with
severe heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HF) and reduce mortality. However, HF …
