Patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) have increased risk of metabolic bone disease - osteopenia and osteoporosis. Calcium intestinal absorption may be impaired in IBD contributing to reduced bone mineral density (BMD). Measurement of vertebral bone marrow fat using magnetic resonance spectroscopy adds to standard dual energy X-ray absorptiometry and improves the assessment of b…
Until recently, gastrointestinal motility has been studied using invasive methods. On the other hand, work from members of our team has led to the development of harmless, non-invasive biomagnetic techniques and new materials, which have been successfully, applied in gastrointestinal motility studies. Hence, conventional and novel methods could be employed to improve the knowledge on the …
The study of gastric motility was, for a long time, undertaken only by invasive methods. But recently, non-invasive methods have been used, such as ultrasound, conventional scintillography, single photon emission tomography and nuclear magnetic resonance. Within an active group of the study of Digestive Motility, interest emerged in the implantation of these methods, in the introduction o…

Choosing a medical specialty is a complex process that affects not only medical students but also healthcare systems and organizations. Accordingly, many medical schools and healthcare organizations have specific services to advice medical students and physicians in regard to the choice of medical specialties as prospective careers. In the United Kingdom, many institutions use the "Specia…
Since studies on gastric motor activity in ageing are scarce and have produced conflicting results, this work aims at assessing a number of variables concerning gastric motility (accommodation to food, slow phasic activity of the proximal stomach, postprandial antral contractility and gastric emptying) using non-invasive scintigraphy in healthy aged people. The results will be compared to…
