Background: EMR is typically used to remove focal abnormalities of the esophageal mucosa. However, larger areas of Barrett's esophagus (BE) can be resected through side-by-side resections.
Objective: To assess the efficacy and safety of EMR to completely remove BE.
Objectives: Tegaserod may enhance upper gut transit, but, its prokinetic effects on antral/small bowel motility and how this compares with erythromycin is unknown. We prospectively assessed and compared the effects of tegaserod and erythromycin on upper gut motility.
Methods: In an open label, non-crossover study, 22 patients (M/F=4/18; mean age=37 years) with symptoms of upper gut dysmotility underwent 24-hour ambulatory antroduodenojejunal manometry with a six-sensor solid state probe.
