Exploring emotional attachment to game charactersEngaging game characters are often key to a positive and emotionally rich player experience. However, current research treats character attachment in a rather generic manner with little regard for the differing emotional qualities that may characterize this attachment. To address this gap we conducted a qualitative online survey with 213 players about the game characters they are particularly fond of. We identify seven distinct forms of emotional attachment,...

Here we report the case histories of two male patients, who presented with duodenal polypoid lesion. Endoscopic polypectomy and endoscopic submucosal dissection were carried out, respectively. Histopathologically,...

 The European Gastrointestinal Motility SocietyNormative values for gastric motility assessed with the 3D‐transit electromagnetic tracking systemThe Motilis 3D‐Transit system allows ambulatory description of transit patterns throughout the gastrointestinal tract. Using the 3D‐transit system, we have established normative values for gastric motility patterns. Gastric emptying time was not associated with age, gender, BMI, or the minor differences in the composition of the meal given with the capsule....
