Abstract:
To investigate the features of the gastric interdigestive pressure activity under normal physiological conditions, we have developed the wireless radiotelemetry capsule based on a telemetry technique. Twelve healthy volunteers participated in this study. Pressure activity data which are an important index of gastric motility can be obtained from the wireless radiotelemetry capsule. But the capsule only records single-dimensional pressure time series which may contain a few interdependent components simultaneously. Automated embedding phase space reconstruction algorithm is employed to reconstruct multi-dimensional phase space. Then the dominant and separated component of the gastric contractions is identified using FastICA algorithm. Finally the use of Hilbert Huang transform method for analyzing the characters of gastric motility is investigated. The results show that the proposed method is an effective approach for the analysis of the gastric pressure series.

Gastric Phase of Digestion
When food enters the stomach, it stretches the stomach walls and activates stretch receptors. This triggers local reflexes of the enteric nervous system, mediated through the myenteric plexus. These...

Radionuclide Testing
Radionuclide testing is a sophisticated medical technique for assessing gastrointestinal motility. It focuses on gastric emptying and colonic transit time. Radioactive markers track the movement of food through the digestive system, providing insights into gastrointestinal disorders.
