Gastric motor disorders
Abstract
Gastric motor disorders constitute an important part of clinical gastroenterological practice. Normal gastric motor function includes gastric accommodation which provides a reservoir during meal ingestion, gastric emptying at a rate that matches small bowel absorptive function and interdigestive motility that eliminates indigestible particles. Disorders of gastric motor function include impaired accommodation, gastroparesis and dumping syndrome. This review summarises current knowledge on the pathophysiology, diagnostic approach and treatment for these disorders.

The pathophysiology of late dumping is largely attributable to the development of hyperinsulinemic or reactive hypoglycemia.
“In contrast to the multiple pathophysiologic factors involved in early dumping syndrome, the pathophysiology of late dumping is largely attributable to the development of hyperinsulinemic or reactive hypoglycemia (3,(22)(23)(24)(25).”

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.
