Magnetic resonance imaging biomarkers of gastrointestinal motor function and fluid distribution (2015)
Journal Article
Khalaf, A., Hoad, C., Spiller, R. C., Gowland, P. A., Moran, G. W., & Marciani, L. (2015). Magnetic resonance imaging biomarkers of gastrointestinal motor function and fluid distribution. World Journal of Gastrointestinal Pathophysiology, 6(4), https://doi.org/10.4291/wjgp.v6.i4.140

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a well established technique that has revolutionized diagnostic radiology. Until recently, the impact that MRI has had in the assessment of gastrointestinal motor function and bowel fluid distribution in health and...

Fat emulsion intragastric stability and droplet size modulate gastrointestinal responses and subsequent food intake in young adults (2015)
Journal Article
Hussein, M., Hoad, C., Wright, J., Singh, G., Stephenson, M., Cox, E., …Marciani, L. (2015). Fat emulsion intragastric stability and droplet size modulate gastrointestinal responses and subsequent food intake in young adults. Journal of Nutrition, 145(6), 1170-1177. https://doi.org/10.3945/jn.114.204339

Background: Intragastric creaming and droplet size of fat emulsions may affect intragastric behavior and gastrointestinal and satiety responses. Objectives: We tested the hypotheses that gastrointestinal physiologic responses and satiety will be i...

A mechanistic multi-centre, parallel group, randomised placebo controlled trial of Mesalazine for treatment of irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhoea (IBS-D) (2015)
Journal Article
Lam, C., Tan, W., Leighton, M., Hastings, M., Lingaya, M., Falcone, Y., …Spiller, R. C. (2015). A mechanistic multi-centre, parallel group, randomised placebo controlled trial of Mesalazine for treatment of irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhoea (IBS-D). Gut, 65(1), https://doi.org/10.1136/gutjnl-2015-309122

Introduction: Immune activation has been reported in the mucosa of irritable bowel syndrome patients with diarrhoea (IBS-D) and some small studies have suggested that Mesalazine may reduce symptoms. We performed a double blind, randomised placebo con...

Measurement of gastric meal and secretion volumes using magnetic resonance imaging (2015)
Journal Article
Hoad, C., Parker, H., Hudders, N., Costigan, C., Cox, E., Perkins, A., …Gowland, P. (2015). Measurement of gastric meal and secretion volumes using magnetic resonance imaging. Physics in Medicine and Biology, 60(3), 1367-1383. https://doi.org/10.1088/0031-9155/60/3/1367

MRI can assess multiple gastric functions without ionizing radiation. However, time consuming image acquisition and analysis of gastric volume data, plus confounding of gastric emptying measurements by gastric secretions mixed with the test meal have...
