Popis:	Bibliography: leaves 205-258. vii, 258 leaves : ill. ; 30 cm. Title page, contents and abstract only. The complete thesis in print form is available from the University Library. The studies described in this thesis examine the mechanical function of the barostat. The barostat is then used to assess proximal gastric function in patients with gastro-oesophageal reflux disease, and the effects of hyperglycaemia on proximal gastric sensory and motor function in normal individuals. To detect the low pressures that may be important in determining gastric outflow, a high accuracy manometric recording system is developed ; patterns of intragastric pressure are then examined during gastric emptying of saline. Finally, a new barostat is designed and tested. Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Adelaide, Dept. of Medicine, 1997
