Dear colleagues, Most internists and gastroenterologists are regularly consulted by patients with upper gastrointestinal symptoms in whom imaging (in particular upper gi endoscopy) does not reveal a cause. The additional work-up of these patients requires function tests, such as manometry and reflux monitoring. Recent developments in the measurement techniques (such as the advent of high-resolution manometry and impedance monitoring) have increased our diagnostic abilities. At the same time, however, these new techniques have made it necessary to acquire additional skills in the interpretation of the measurements. During a one-day course, to be held in the amc in Amsterdam, participants will see a series of patients with upper gi symptoms, with their motility tests and interpretation, relayed via an audiovisual link to the motility lab. The live video demonstrations will be performed by local faculty, and discussed with the audience in the lecture hall. We are very pleased that Daniel Sifrim from London, uk, and John Pandolfino from Chicago, usa, will join us for this exciting event. We hope to welcome you on April 27! Andr Smout Arjan Bredenoord

Lecture hall 5, Academic Medical Center, Amsterdam, the Netherlands

Moderators: Andr Smout, Arjan Bredenoord (Amsterdam) Daniel Sifrim (London, uk) John Pandolfino (Chicago, usa)

Live interactive video demonstrations of: Oesophageal manometry: conventional manometry & high-resolution manometry (hrm) Stationary oesophageal impedance measurement (transit) 24-h oesophageal pH-impedance/pressure monitoring Antroduodenojejunal manometry

In patients with: non-obstructive dysphagia non-cardiac chest pain reflux symptoms belching, aerophagia, rumination (suspected) intestinal pseudo-obstruction The Day will be particularly useful for physicians (and other health care professionals) who are actively involved with or exposed to upper gi motility studies, independent of their experience level.
