Filter by:The objective of this dose-finding and feasibility study is to establish the optimal 13C-octanoate concentration to be used with slowly infused enteral nutrition to perform a prolonged gastric emptying test using the breath test. More specifically, the aim is to discover the 13C-octanoate concentration that induces a steady state hourly 13C-recovery. This would allow to implement the prolonged breath test protocol in a future clinical investigation in critically ill patients.
This study evaluates the gastric emptying of pregnant woman at term who received one of the three solutions: maltodextrin, orange juice or coffee with milk.
The results of our in vitro studies strengthen the hypothesis that the contribution of salivary alpha-amylase to starch digestion has been underrated and that this enzyme can play an important role in this process. As a result, its inhibition could constitute an opportunity to reduce the glycemic response elicited by starch-rich foods. The main goal of this study is to verify whether inhibiting salivary alpha-amylase upon the consumption of starchy foods, can have an impact on the postprandial glycemic response, and/or satiety.
The primary aim of this investigation is to assess the safety, feasibility and performance of the VIPUN Balloon Catheter 0.1 in the assessment of gastric motility. The investigation will also assess whether the inflation of the VIPUN Balloon Catheter can stimulate gastric motility and emptying. Furthermore, this investigation will examine whether gastric motility and emptying as measured in this study are correlated.
The proposed study will use this technology to observe emptying of the stomach of a protein and carbohydrate rich clear liquid sports/nutrition drink.
The objective of this study is to compare the effect of different levels of carbonation isocaloric beverages on glycemic response (using protocol based on standardized glycemic index testing methodology), gastric emptying and satiety. It is hypothesized that carbon dioxide will delay gastric emptying, and in turn, attenuate glycemic response and enhance satiety. The use of a non-nutrient (gas) in improving glycemic response and satiety would have important health implications for the beverage industry.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of either elemental liquid diet or standard semi-solid diet on gastric emptying in both healthy subjects and bedridden patients receiving gastrostomy feeding.
Most pre-operative fasting regimes dictate that if there is any milk added to tea or coffee, the preoperative fasting time should be extended from 2 to 6 hours. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate whether there is really a delay in gastric emptying time associated with the inclusion of milk in a cup of tea.
The purpose of this study is to describe gastrointestinal motility and transit times in healthy subjects by using Motilis 3D-Transit and to compare the total gastrointestinal transit time (GITT) to GITT obtained using radioopaque markers. The investigators end points are to measure the transit times through different segments of the gastrointestinal canal,e.g. gastric emptying, small intestine, total GITT. The study is descriptive and is designed to test and evaluate the usefulness of the Motilis 3D-Transit system. The investigators hypothesize, that with the system transit times through different segments of the gastrointestinal canal can be measured. The design is made for evaluating the transit times, the inter-subject reproducibility and comparison with gold standard for colonic transit time measurement. The investigators have chosen to include 20 healthy volunteers.The study is descriptive and therefore power calculation is not needed.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether 3 g cinnamon was sufficient to delay the gastric emptying rate of a high-fat solid meal and subsequently reduce postprandial blood glucose and lipid responses, oxidative stress, arterial stiffness and satiety responses in a healthy adult population.
