Filter by:Total body weight loss (TBWL) after bariatric endoscopy (BE) is variable. Gastric emptying may be normal, rapid or delayed in patients with obesity and be a factor in variable BE outcomes. Gastric myoelectrical activity (GMA) reflects gastric pacemaker activity which controls gastric contractions. The non-invasive electrogastrogram(EGG) uses standard electrodes positioned on the abdominal surface to record GMA. The investigators postulate that GMA patterns recorded with EGG will reflect subgroups in regards to stomach electrical physiology in obesity and that these subgroups will be useful in selecting patients for various BE procedures to maximize success of the procedures.
The hypothesis of this study is that esophageal and gastric dysmotility increase the risk of developing aspiration-associated symptoms in children with neurologic impairment. The investigators are conducting a ten week cross over study comparing prucalopride to famotidine for the treatment of aspiration-associated symptoms.
