Abstract
BACKGROUND: Cutaneous electrogastrography (EGG) is a non-invasive technique that detects gastric bioelectrical slow waves, which in part govern the motility of the stomach. Changes in gastric slow waves have been associated with a number of functional gastric disorders, but to date accurate detection from the body-surface has been limited due to the low signal-to-noise ratio. The main aim of this study was to develop a flexible active-electrode EGG array. METHODS: Two Texas Instruments CMOS operational amplifiers: OPA2325 and TLC272BID, were benchtop tested and embedded in a flexible linear array of EGG electrodes, which contained four recording electrodes at 20-mm intervals. The cutaneous EGG arrays were validated in ten weaner pigs using simultaneous body-surface and serosal recordings, using the Cyton biosensing board and ActiveTwo acquisition systems. The serosal recordings were taken using a passive electrode array via surgical access to the stomach. Signals were filtered and compared in terms of frequency, amplitude, and phase-shift based on the classification of propagation direction from the serosal recordings. RESULTS: The data were compared over 709 cycles of slow waves, with both active cutaneous EGG arrays demonstrating comparable performance. There was an agreement between frequencies of the cutaneous EGG and serosal recordings (3.01 ± 0.03 vs 3.03 ± 0.05 cycles per minute; p = 0.75). The cutaneous EGG also demonstrated a reduction in amplitude during abnormal propagation of gastric slow waves (310 ± 50 µV vs 277 ± 9 µV; p < 0.01), while no change in phase-shift was observed (1.28 ± 0.09 s vs 1.40 ± 0.10 s; p = 0.36). CONCLUSION: A sparse linear cutaneous EGG array was capable of reliably detecting abnormalities of gastric slow waves. For more accurate characterization of gastric slow waves, a two-dimensional body-surface array will be required.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
