Scientists Take X-Ray
Pictures of Hunger

To X-rays of teeth, broken bones
and swallowed safety pins. science
now adds x-ray photographs of the
hunger pangs suffered by an empty
stomach.
AT the American Physiological So
ciety, Drs. F. r. Rogers and C. l..
Martin of Baylor University at Dali
las, Texas, told fellow scientists how
they were able to see and photograph
the hunger contractions in the
stomach of a fasting individual. The
cOntractions that cause hunger have
been studied in the past indirectly by
the introduction of a rubber balloon
into the empty stomach connected
with a recording device. They could
not be studied by the usual X-ray
methods employed in hospitals, DR..
Rogers pointed out, because this pro.
cedure involves having the patient
swallow a mixture of milk and barium
sulphate to make the alimentary tract
Opaque to X-rays. The barium meal
fills the stomach and stops the con-
fractions caused by emptiness.
Recent improvements in X-ray
technique, however, now make it pos
sible, DR.. Rogers explained, to see the
stomach actually contract and to
photograph it in this condition If it
is slightly distended with an air-hlled
balloon. This method, aside from re-
vealing the basis of hunger in a
healthy man, say the scientists, may
be of considerable value in studying
various types of mOtility and pain dis.
orders of the stomach.
