Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Important advances in the field of neurogastroenterology and motility have been achieved in recent years, including modern diagnostic testing, such as high-resolution oesophageal manometry (HRM), pH monitoring (catheter based with impedance and the wireless system), EndoFLIP planomety as well as the new protocols and methodologies in timed barium swallow (TBS). Notably, recent progress has also been reached in the study of the upper esophageal sphinctes (UES) by using HRM as well as new protocols of fluroscopy studies.
Moreover, developments in gastric motility testing and small intestinal testings as well as anorectal diagnostics are also available with the introduction of high-resolution anorectal manometry and three-dimensional manometry.
Additionally, better understanding of brain-gut relates conditions particularly in the era of microbiome and functional brain imaging. We believe that this special issue, is of paramount significance and relevance for shedding light on the recent advances on gastrointestinal functional and motility diagnostics.
