HUMAN GASTRIC FUNCTION
Abstract
This film presents an unusual case, illustrating only a few of the studies and experimental methods which have been reported by the author and published in book form. Some of the more important observations on gastric function are mentioned and certain early hypotheses are corroborated and elaborated. The patient, "Tom," in 1895, at the age of 9, developed a complete esophageal stricture from swallowing scalding clam chowder. A gastric fistula was created, through which he has fed himself ever since. In the past 15 years, Tom has been the subject of extensive investigations—he thus may be compared with Alexis St. Martin, whose fistula was the object of the well-known scientific observations of Colonel Beaumont more than a hundred years ago. The written review of this film appears on page 2216 of this issue.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
