Peak acid output in response to sham feeding and changes in urine acid output 2 and 3
hours after a test meal have been measured in 20 normal volunteers, 17 asymptomatic …

This study was designed to investigate the relations between gastric acid secretion and
alkalinisation of the urine. Normal subjects underwent standard pentagastrin (6 …

METHODS Testing of gastric acid secretion was by the routine method used in our
laboratory. Briefly, after an overnight fast a 16 FG duodenal tube with a metal tip was passed …

Sham feeding is thought to stimulate gastric acid secretion solely via vagal pathways. We
evaluated whether sham feeding can be used as a test for vagotomy. From results in 50 …

Assessment of completeness of vagotomy has always been an irksome and time‐
consuming affair. The commonly employed test of insulin‐induced hypoglycaemia …

Gastric emptying of 5 per cent and 10 per cent glucose test meals has been measured in 43
patients with a duodenal ulcer prior to surgery and in 52 patients with an unsatisfactory …

The acid secretory responses of patients with recurrent ulcer after vagotomy and drainage
have been compared retrospectively with those of patients with a positive insulin test but no …

THE technique of measurement of gastric secretion has been of interest to physicians and
surgeons for many years. A major defect of most of the early methods, however, was the lack …

Maximal acid output and insulin tests were carried out in a series of 56 consecutive patients
who had either a truncal or a bilateral selective vagotomy and drainage operation. The …

In sixteen patients with chronic duodenal ulcer, the effect of oral and intravenous
propantheline bromide on gastric acid secretion was compared with that of surgical truncal …
