Evaluation of transcutaneous CO2 responses following acute changes in PaCO2 in healthy subjects.

14 Dec 2009 BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Transcutaneous blood gas-monitoring systems with miniaturized SpO(2) (peripheral blood oxygen saturation)/PCO(2) combined sensors (TOSCATM) have been widely used. There are no reports of the inter- and intra-individual ... Read more...

Will the 13C-octanoic acid breath test ever replace scintigraphy as the gold standard to assess gastric emptying?

29 Sep 2009 The applicability of the 13C-octanoic acid breath test for the assessment of gastric emptying is discussed. In the current issue of this journal, Keller and her colleagues described the application of different mathematical models for analysis of ... Read more...

Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth in systemic sclerosis.

18 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVES: The aims of this study were to: (i) determine the prevalence of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) in unselected patients with SSc; (ii) assess both clinical presentation and outcome of SIBO; and (iii) make predictions about ... Read more...
