Abstract
A more informative method of transforming electromyograms to assess the spike activity of intestinal smooth muscles is proposed. The presence of minute rhythms of spike activity during the transition from the resting phase to regular activity is confirmed. These rhythms are recorded in the proximal part of the small intestine during the irregular phase of fasting periodic activity. It is found that the appearance of minute rhythms of spike activity on days 3–4 of modeled peritonitis may mark the beginning of the transition from pathology to health and indirectly indicate the regression of the pathological process.
