tailieunhanh - Gastroenterology Clinics of North America

This issue of Gastroenterology Clinics of North America focuses on an important area in gastroenterology for both clinicians and researchers: neurogastroenterology and gastrointestinal (GI) motility disorders. GI motility and functional GI disorders are common reasons for patients to see physicians. Knowledge of GI motility disorders, including the evaluation and treatment of these disorders, is important for gastroenterologists, clinicians, and health care providers to appropriately care for these frequently seen patients in clinical practice. Gastrointestinal motility can be defined as motor activity in the digestive tract that mixes ingested food with digestive juices and moves luminal contents of the gastrointestinal tract in an aboral direction from the mouth toward the anus.

Parkman MD Guest Editor This issue of Gastroenterology Clinics ofNorth America focuses on an important area in gastroenterology for both clinicians and researchers neurogastroenterology and gastrointestinal GI motility disorders. GI motility and functional GI disorders are common reasons for patients to see physicians. Knowledge of GI motility disorders including the evaluation and treatment of these disorders is important for gastroenterologists clinicians and health care providers to appropriately care for these frequently seen patients in clinical practice. Gastrointestinal motility can be defined as motor activity in the digestive tract that mixes ingested food with digestive juices and moves luminal contents of the gastrointestinal tract in an aboral direction from the mouth toward the anus. A better understanding of the pathophysiology of GI motility disorders has revealed a crucial role of the enteric autonomic and central nervous system. In fact the term neurogastroenterology was introduced in the early 1990s to account for the study of these processes. As with any new term there was resistance to its introduction. The breakthrough came when the editorial board of the Journal of Gastrointestinal Motility changed its name to Neurogastroenterology and Motility in 1994. The European Society changed its name in 1996 recently the American Society became the American Neurogastroenterology and Motility Society and the International Group became the International Society of Neurogastroenterology. Neurogastroenterology emphasizes clinical and experimental gastroenterology embracing the concept of brain-gut interactions and refers to motor disorders of the gastrointestinal tract attributable to neural control mechanisms including the psychophysiology of clinical disorders of visceral perception
