DIAMARK-meeting September 2008, Aalborg
Pathogenesis and biomarkers • Motility disorders ? • Mechanical structural enteropathy ? • Peripheral neuropathy ? • Central neuroplastic changes ? • Others ? • Effect of treatment???????
DIAMARK: Motility, histology, biomechanics ? Immunohistochemistry
DIAMARK: Sensory assessment VAS resting EEG CEP and inverse modelling Coherence analysis etc 4 5 3 DNIC 2 1 Spinal EP Autonomic tests Referred pain areas
Spatial resolution EEG PET MEG fMRI • Early components (<150 ms): • direct thalamo-cortical projections • pain intensity and localisation • influenced by the stimulation paradigm Temporal resolution • Late components (>150 ms): • perceptual and cognitive processing of the stimulus • modulated by external stimuli and internal factors
+1.6 - 1.6 263.00 ms 66.93 ms 103.00 ms 125.44 ms 138.26 ms 212.79 ms EP´s: Topographic analysis
Head model – Polhemus and MR Spatial resolution EEG PET MEG fMRI Temporal resolution
Problems in EEG analysis Model for inverse modelling Individual vs. group (BEM and FEM models, group MR template) Spinal recordings Activity beyond 150 ms (e.g. descending pain system) Etc.
Previous (mainly ours) findings in DM • Histological? • Sensory: • General hyposensitivity (oesophagus, stomach, duodenum) • Increased referred pain • CEPs: • prolonged latency • decreased amplitude • non-reproducibility • Mechanical: • Increased thickness • less strecthability • Motor • dysmotility • long reflex
Framework • Stimulation 4. Treatment • Pacing • Others ? 3. Biomarkers 5. Biomarkers revised 2. Assessment • Motor • (motility, scintigraphy?) • Biomechanical • (thickness, deformation, stress etc) • 3D, FEM? • Histology? • Sensory • VAS • Referred pain • EEG analysis and support vector machine • Spinal EP • CEP • Coherence • DNIC
Aalborg Sahlgr Hung. Århus Diagles GMC WP 2
WP 3 Aalborg Sahlgr Hung. Århus Diagles GMC • CSA, pressure, volume, layers (US) • Wall tension, stress and strain, 3D models?? • Motor activity • antroduodenal?, fluoroscopy, scintigraphy, new probe (force velocity, lenght-tension) • Sensory ratings and neurophysiology • 30 patients and 15 volunteers • Different blood sugars (outcome last experiment?)
Aalborg Sahlgr Hung. Århus Diagles GMC WP 4 • Oesophagus and sigmoid colon (may be avoided, but mentioned in delivery), multimodal stimulations • 30 patients with GI symptoms and autonomic neuropathy • 30 volunteers • Different blood sugars • Subset of 15 patients QST of skin and muscles • Assessment: • VAS inclusive temporal summation • Spinal EP, referred pain to multimodal stimulation • Resting EEG, CEP (128 ch), Polhemus and MR • Inverse modelling (MUSIC, ICA, MMP) and connectivity analysis • DNIC
WP 5 Aalborg Sahlgr Hung. Århus Diagles GMC • 20 patients (more according to negotiation?) without diabetic neuropathy and gastroparesis (evaluation?) + symptoms (nausea/vomiting) • Temporary gastric pacing ON/OFF. Before and after test: • Motor evaluation with scintigraphy, antroduodenal, probe (WP3) • Biomechanical evaluation (WP3) • Sensory evaluation (WP4)
