Separate chapters \ncover smooth muscle and nerve function including the application to animal \nand human studies of motility, symptoms and pain, determination of the \ntrue resting state, history-dependent properties, and tissue remodelling \nin disease. Several methods and diagnostic applications such as \ndetermination of in vivo length-tension diagrams and multimodal pain \ntesting are completely new but will undoubtedly be used by many in the \nfuture. New non-invasive imaging techniques based on ultrasound, MR- and \nCT-scanning in combination with balloon distension are emerging as the \ntechniques for future in vivo studies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2002-12-09\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781852335205\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4471-3742-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 268\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer London","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49472032112780,"sku":"9781852335205","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781852335205.jpg?v=1777987909","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781852335205","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
