On Friday 13 June at 14:00, Ditte Smed Kornum defends her PhD dissertation entitled "Diabetic gastroenteropathy: Non-invasive assessment and neuromodulatory management".

Diabetic gastroenteropathy is a challenging and often overlooked complication of diabetes, causing severe gastrointestinal symptoms. Despite medical advancements, many people continue to struggle with inadequate symptom relief due to limited assessment and treatment options. The current PhD dissertation dives into these challenges by investigating non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation as a potential new strategy for treating this complex condition. Furthermore, it explores to what extent the function of the gastrointestinal tract is affected by diabetic autonomic neuropathy and examines whether markers of autonomic neuropathy outside of the gastrointestinal tract can be used for assessing gastrointestinal disabilities.

The summary is written by the PhD student.

The defence is public and takes place in Auditorium Verdensrummet (A201-170), Entrance A, Steno Diabetes Center Aarhus, Aarhus University Hospital. Please see the press release for more information.
