We are testing a new system for linking grants to scientists.
The funding information displayed below comes from the
NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools and the
NSF Award Database.
The grant data on this page is limited to grants awarded in the United States and is thus partial. It can nonetheless be used to understand how funding patterns influence mentorship networks and vice-versa, which has deep implications on how research is done.

M01Activity Code Description: An award made to an institution solely for the support of a General Clinical Research Center where scientists conduct studies on a wide range of human diseases using the full spectrum of the biomedical sciences. Costs underwritten by these grants include those for renovation, for operational expenses such as staff salaries, equipment, and supplies, and for hospitalization. A General Clinical Research Center is a discrete unit of research beds separated from the general care wards. |
Gastroesophageal Reflux After Laparoscopic Heller Esophagomyotomy
The purpose of this study is to determine the frequency and severity of gastroesophageal reflux in patients who have undergone a laparoscopic Heller esophagomyotomy. The patients included in this study were all suffering from achalasia. They all had severe symptoms and had failed attempts at medical management. Prior to surgical intervention, all of the patients underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy and esophageal manometry to determine the motility of the esophagus and to measure the lower esophageal sphincter pressure.

Biomagnetic Signals of Intestinal Ischemia
[unreadable] DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Many patients suffer from illnesses that relate to disturbances in the electrical activity of the small intestine, however efforts to investigate these problems in human subjects have been thwarted because currently available electrode technology require surgical implantation and are not accepted by patients nor their physicians. In recent years, biomagnetic imaging methods have, for the first time, facilitated the noninvasive assessment of the intestinal slow wave activity in human subjects. Animal studies have confirmed that transabdominal magnetic fields of the magnetoenterogram (MENG) accurately reflect the internal intestinal slow wave frequency and the spatial frequency gradient. We have established and are currently using new hospital facility, the Vanderbilt University Gastrointestinal SQUID Technology (VU-GIST) Laboratory study the pathological effects of chronic mesenteric ischemia on the slow wave. We are poised to continue our ground-breaking contributions to the physiological and pathophysiological implications of the activity the intestinal slow wave in patients with chronic mesenteric ischemia. We propose to advance these by continuing to develop the recording and analysis techniques that will allow us to differentiate and distinguish the multiple contributions to the biomagnetic field from different parts of the small intestine from other corporeal sources such as colonic electrical activity. We will examine the effect of partial near total occlusion of the mesenteric vessels on the MENG signal as a model of chronic ischemia. We will smaller segments of ischemic bowel to determine the ability of current analysis techniques to identify localized ischemia noninvasively and to develop more advanced techniques for this analysis. We will our initial animal studies that have provided convincing evidence that the MENG reflects the underlying pathological slow wave to pre-, intra- and post-operative studies of human patients with chronic mesenteric ischemia, and we will analyze the biomagnetic fields obtained in these studies to assess the spatiotemporal signatures of intestinal slow waves during ischemia and reperfusion. The ultimate goal of this project is to develop the SQUID into a noninvasive diagnostic modality for patients with mesenteric ischemia. [unreadable] [unreadable] [unreadable]
