First translational consensus on terminology and definitions of colonic motility in animals and humans studied by manometric and other techniques (2019)
Journal Article
Corsetti, M., Costa, M., Bassotti, G., Bharucha, A. E., Borrelli, O., Dinning, P., …Tack, J. (2019). First translational consensus on terminology and definitions of colonic motility in animals and humans studied by manometric and other techniques. Nature Reviews Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 16(9), 559-579. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41575-019-0167-1

Alterations in colonic motility are implicated in the pathophysiology of bowel disorders, but high-resolution manometry of human colonic motor function has revealed that our knowledge of normal motor patterns is limited. Furthermore, various terminol... Read More about First translational consensus on terminology and definitions of colonic motility in animals and humans studied by manometric and other techniques.

Diverticular disease (2019)
Journal Article
Humes, D., & Spiller, R. (2019). Diverticular disease. Medicine, 47(7), 424-427. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mpmed.2019.04.005

© 2019 Colonic diverticula are formed by mucosal outpouching from the colonic wall. Their presence increases with increasing age with most, in Caucasian, being situated in the left colon. The aetiology of these outpouchings is not fully understood bu... Read More about Diverticular disease.

Enhancing our understanding of small bowel function using modern imaging techniques (2019)
Journal Article
Hoad, C., & Spiller, R. (2020). Enhancing our understanding of small bowel function using modern imaging techniques. Neurogastroenterology and Motility, 32(1), Article e13616. https://doi.org/10.1111/nmo.13616

Small intestinal function is critical to digestive health and patients believe an abnormal reaction to food is responsible for many of their symptoms. Despite this, our ability to assess disturbed function in clinical practice has been limited, parti...

Intraluminal impact of food: New insights from MRI (2019)
Journal Article
Marciani, L., & Spiller, R. (2019). Intraluminal impact of food: New insights from MRI. Nutrients, 11(5), Article 1147. https://doi.org/10.3390/nu11051147

© 2019 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. Understanding how the gut responds to food has always been limited by the available investigatory techniques. Previous methods involving intubation and aspiration are largely limited to liquid... Read More about Intraluminal impact of food: New insights from MRI.

Spatio-Temporal Motility MRI (STMM) analysis of the stomach and colon (2019)
Journal Article
Menys, A., Hoad, C., Spiller, R., Scott, M., Atkinson, D., Marciani, L., & Taylor, S. (2019). Spatio-Temporal Motility MRI (STMM) analysis of the stomach and colon. Neurogastroenterology and Motility, 31(5), https://doi.org/10.1111/nmo.13557

Background: MRI is increasingly used to objectively assess gastrointestinal motility. However, motility metrics often do no not offer insights into the nature of contractile action. This study introduces a systematic method of making spatiotemporal... Read More about Spatio-Temporal Motility MRI (STMM) analysis of the stomach and colon.
