MOTILITY

During the past year, attention has focused on several aspects of the physiology and pathophysiology of small intestinal motility. These inc lude neural, humoral, intraluminal, and pharmacologic control mechanis ms, the physiology of perception, and further documentation of dysmoti lity syndromes. Refinement of techniques for clinical investigation of small bowel motor function and further assessment of existing techniq ues have also been of interest.
