INTRODUCTION Bariatric procedures result in massive weight loss, however, not without side effects. Gastric acid is known to cause marginal ulcers, situated in the small bowel just distal to the upper anastomosis. We have used the wireless BRAVO™ system to study the buffering effect of the duodenal bulb in duodenal switch (DS), a procedure in which the gastric sleeve produces a substantial amou...

Aims—To examine long term survival of women with primary and recurrent cervical carcinoma in relation to (1) excretion of â-core (a urinary metabolite of â human chorionic gonadotrophin (âhCG)) and (2) âhCG immunostaining of the tumours, to determine the suitability of these markers for assessing prognosis. Methods—This was a prospective observational study undertaken in a gynaecological oncolo...

The regulation of gastric acid secretion is complex and involves endocrine, paracrine, and neurocrine mechanisms. Among these, the interconnecting cross-talk between different gut peptides is an important part in the control of acid secretion. The aims of this thesis were (1) to develop a new method of measuring intragastric pH for prolonged periods of time, and (2) apply developed and in-use m...

The sequence-specific recognition of the minor groove of DNA by pyrrole-imidazole polyamides has been extended to 9-13 base pairs (bp). Four polyamides, ImPyPy-Py-PyPyPy-Dp, ImPyPy-G-PyPyPy-Dp, ImPyPyâ-PyPyPy-Dp, and ImPyPy-γ-PyPyPy-Dp (Im ) N-methylimidazole, Py ) N-methylpyrrole, Dp ) N,Ndimethylaminopropylamide, G ) glycine, â ) â-alanine, and γ ) γ-aminobutyric acid), were synthesized and c...
