This study tested a new way to look at stomach muscle activity using a magnetic capsule (a pill-sized camera). 20 people with gastroparesis or functional dyspepsia swallowed the capsule, which was guided by a magnet to record stomach contractions and measure the pylorus opening. …

This study looked at why many critically ill children develop stomach and gut problems. Researchers measured certain molecules in the blood and stool of 99 children to see if they are linked to poor stomach emptying and gut barrier damage. The goal was to better understand the ca…
