Article Abstract
Methods: During a GE test (breath test with C-octanoic acid labelled 250 kcal solid meal), the severity of 6 symptoms (postprandial fullness, epigastric pain and burning, bloating, nausea and belching) was assessed, every 15 min, before meal-intake and 4h postprandially. The sum of individual symptom scores generated the meal-related symptoms score; the sum of all symptoms generated overall meal-related symptom severity (OSS). Data were compared in patients with normal and delayed GE (cut-off T≥ 109 min). Data are shown as mean±SEM.
Results: 504 patients were included, of which 382 patients (67% female, age 43.8±0.8 years, BMI 23.3±0.2 kg/m) had normal and 122 patients (77% female, age 42.7±1.5 years, BMI 23.2±0.6 kg/m) had delayed GE. OSS tended to be higher in patients with delayed GE (81.8±3.4 vs. 99.5±7.1, p=.05). Only nausea was significantly higher in patients with delayed GE (11±0.8 vs. 16±1.6, p=.01). No correlations were observed between GE rate and any of the symptoms (OSS: r=0.06, p=.2; nausea: r=0.06, p=.1). The symptom severity time course showed a significant difference only for nausea, with increased severity ratings 90 min after the meal (p<.01) in delayed GE compared to normal GE patients.
Conclusion: The severity of symptoms in functional dyspepsia and idiopathic gastroparesis, even when assessed during the GE test meal, is not correlated to gastric emptying rate. (Ethics committee University Hospital of Leuven study number S55426).

A Western-Style Diet Influences Ingestive Behavior and Glycemic Control in a Rat Model of Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Surgery.
J Clin Med

Department of Behavioral Neuroscience, Groningen Institute for Evolutionary Life Sciences (GELIFES), University of Groningen, 9747 AG Groningen, The Netherlands.
: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery results in weight reduction and decreased energy intake and can ameliorate type 2 diabetes. These beneficial effects are usually attributed to changes in hunger and satiety and relatively rapid improvements in glycemic control, but these effects may depend on dietary adherence. The aim of this study is to investigate the relatively early effects of RYGB surgery on weight reduction (by focusing on eating patterns) and glycemic control in rats subjected to a healthy maintenance diet or an unhealthy Western-style diet.

Background: Bulimia nervosa (BN) involves recurrent episodes of uncontrolled eating followed by compensatory behaviors. Stress is implicated in BN, affecting the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and ghrelin, a key appetite-regulating hormone. Studies report conflicting HPA axis findings in BN, necessitating further investigation.

Aim: The reconstruction methods after proximal gastrectomy (PG) are varied but not standardized. This study was performed to evaluate the short-term clinical outcomes between double tract reconstruction (DTR) and double flap technique (DFT).
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed and collected data of patients who underwent DTR and DFT after laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy (LPG), respectively, between January 2020 and March 2023.
Randomized clinical trial: the effects of mirtazapine in functional dyspepsia patients.

Background: Functional dyspepsia (FD) is one of the most common gastrointestinal disorders worldwide. Currently, anti-gastric drugs, gastric acid inhibitors, prokinetic drugs, and mucosal protective drugs are widely used in FD patients, however, only a small proportion of patients benefit from these drugs. Studies reported mirtazapine may improve symptoms of FD patients but the efficacy and safety of mirtazapine in the treatment of FD is unclear.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the postoperative quality of life (QOL) and body weight changes between two types of gastrectomies: pylorus-preserving gastrectomy (PPG) and distal gastrectomy (DG) for Stage I gastric cancer.
- Conducted on 295 patients, the research utilized questionnaires to assess QOL and found that DG had better scores for nausea, vomiting, and meal-related issues in the first month after surgery.
- Ultimately, the study concluded there was no significant difference in long-term QOL or body weight loss between the two surgical methods.
