25 Years of the Spanish Society of Neurogastroenterology and Motility (GEMD)

GEMD was created 1992 by a group of enthusiastic gastroenterologists and surgeons interested in the study of GI-motility. The first meetings were meetings of a group of friends with common interest. They met to discuss practical aspects related to motility studies, like the pitfalls and advantages of the devices available for motility studies, interpretation of traces, and discussion of difficult patients.

Hands-on Teaching Video: How to Analyze a pH-Impedance tracing

In this short video, Prof. Edoardo Savarino (University of Padua)  will show you how to manually analyze a pH impedance tracing in order to obtain a complete report with data on esophageal acid exposure, number of reflux episodes and symptom-reflux association analysis. In particular, it will be illustrated how to include/exclude different areas from the tracings, how to objectively identify an acidic or weakly acidic reflux episode, how to define the proximal extension of the refluxate and how to obtain a correct report with all the data required for having a good categorization of your patients with symptoms suggestive of reflux disease.

Best Abstracts NeuroGASTRO 2017

"Small intestine neuromuscular dysfunctions in Toll-like receptor 4-null mice: role of enteric glia" by Silvia Cerantola
This study investigated the involvement of enteric glial cells in the alterations of myenteric plexus architecture and ileal dysmotility found in TLR4-/- mice.

"Granins are linked to bacterial richness, innate immunity, markers for intestinal permeability and symptom severity IBS patients" by Johanna Sundin
The intestinal granin profiles of IBS patients and HS are linked to the intestinal bacterial composition, bacterial diversity and enterotypes. Together these findings suggest that fecal levels and mucosal expression of granins may shape the bacterial composition of the intestine.

Gut Microbiota for Health World Summit 2018

You are invited to join us for the GMFH World Summit to be held in Rome, Italy, March 10-11, 2018.

The microbiota that inhabit our gastrointestinal tract is considered either as a constitutive part of our body, the ‘neglected’ organ, or as the major environmental factor continuously interacting with our human genes. Microbes shape and reshape our immune system, activate genes involved in angiogenesis and cellular differentiation, contribute to neuro-humoral regulation of appetite, have a considerable impact on accumulation of energy in adipose tissue, etc., and these are only a few examples in a growing list of host-microbes interactions. Much more is yet to be discovered.
