Abstract Background and Purpose Chronic gastric symptoms are common, however
differentiating specific contributing mechanisms in individual patients remains challenging …

Mathematical and computational modeling of the stomach is an emerging field of
biomechanics where several complex phenomena, such as gastric electrophysiology, fluid …

Background Assessments of age-specific mortality and life expectancy have been done by
the UN Population Division, Department of Economics and Social Affairs (UNPOP), the …

Purpose: In the contemporary era, a significant number of individuals encounter various
health issues, including digestive system ailments, even during their advanced years. The …

Gastric pacing and stimulation strategies were first proposed in the 1960s to treat motility
disorders. However, there has been relatively limited clinical translation of these techniques …

The common occurrence of gastric disorders, the accelerating emphasis on the role of the
gut‐brain axis, and development of realistic, predictive models of gastric function, all place …

The stomach is a central organ in the gastrointestinal tract that performs a variety of
functions, in which the spatio-temporal organisation of active smooth muscle contraction in …

The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is a continuous channel through the body that consists of the
esophagus, the stomach, the small intestine, the large intestine, and the rectum. Its primary …

The stomach is extensively innervated by the vagus nerve and the enteric nervous system.
The mechanisms through which this innervation affects gastric motility are being unraveled …

We present an electro‐mechanical constitutive framework for the modeling of gastric motility,
including pacemaker electrophysiology and smooth muscle contractility. In this framework …
