CLINICAL TRIAL: EGG IN SYMPTOMATIC AND ASYMPTOMATIC PRETERM AND TERM INFANTS

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 胃收缩是胃肌电活动（GMA）的结果。 EGG通过皮肤表面电极非侵入性地检测GMA。本研究的具体目的是证明多通道EGG检测到的GMA在有症状的早产儿和足月儿中与无症状的婴儿相比存在差异，这些早产儿和足月儿难以推进喂养或胃食管反流（格尔）。这些早产儿和足月儿可能有异常的胃收缩，这可以解释他们的症状，这在早产儿中很常见，并具有相关的严重发病率。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Stomach contractions are the consequence of gastric myoelectric activity (GMA). EGG detects the GMA noninvasively by skin surface electrodes. The specific aim of this study is to demonstrate that the GMA detected by multichannel EGG is different in symptomatic preterm and term infants with difficulty in advancing feedings or gastroesophageal reflux (GER) compared to those infants without symptoms. It is possible that these preterm and term infants have abnormal stomach contractions that may explain their symptoms, which are common in the preterm infant and have an associated profound morbidity.
