COLLABORATIONS AND RESULTS. The joint program with the Department of
Highlights
Mathematics of the University of Barcelona has implemented a system for the
evaluation of intestinal motility using the endoscopic capsule, which has originated

patents and is in the process of commercialization by the company Given Imaging.

The collaborative program on intestinal motility with the group of Dr Clavé (Marcel
Jimenez) has consolidated. Furthermore we have investigated the effects of diet

on intestinal microbiota (collaboration with the group of Dr Guarner), on gut con-
tent (collaboration with the group of the robotics of the Universidad Politénica de

Catalua) and on cognitive / emotive perception (collaborations with the industry

and support by Cenit program). The research line on abdominal accommodation
has originated therapeutic techniques for the treatment of abdominal distention

and rumination that have been applied to clinical practice.

SCIENTIFIC ACTIVITIES. During 2013 the field of intestinal microbiota has expan-

ded tremendously. A Spanish Society for Pre-and Probiotics has been constituted
(IP member of the steering committee) and an annual multidisciplinary meeting

has been consolidated; during 2013 a Spanish guide on prebiotics has been de-
veloped. At the international level, within UEG a section on Intestinal Microbiota

and Health has been constituted (IP chair) and a collaboration with AGA has been

implemented to organize a joint annual meeting, which will take place in Barcelo-
na every other year (IP director). UEG (IP councilor) has established Barcelona as

the location for UEGW every other year. Within the Rome Foundation (IP board of

directors) the process for the Rome IV meetings has been initiated and a working
team for the study of the effects of diet on functional digestive symptoms has

been established (IP member).

TRAINING. A European Training Program on research in Neurogastroenterology, 13
supported by the Marie Curie program, has been established (IP director of Spa- 20
T
nish node). UEG and ESNM organized European courses in Barcelona on functional OR
P
dyspepsia and irritable bowel syndrome, respectively (IP course director).
