Trummerflora Collective - About - Borborygmus Borborygmus first rumbled onto the San Diego music scene at the dawn of the millenium as the performing unit of the newly formed Trummerflora collective. The stream's currents tug towards free jazz, the extremities of rock, the 20th century chamber avant garde and electroacoustic strangeness." Though active only for about a year, the group's rumbling effects can be heard on many of Trummerflora's subsequent releases. Now after nearly five years, Borborygmus rears its multitudinous head once again to cast forth the gurgles and growls from the belly of the musical underground. www.trummerflora.com /about/borborygmus.asp   (130 words)

Untitled Document Belching is the noisy voiding of gas from the stomach through the mouth, and borborygmus is a rumbling or gurgling noise caused by propulsion of gas through the intestines. Flatus, belching, and borborygmus occur in healthy pets but may also develop as a consequence of gastric, small intestinal, or colonic disorders. Diseases that cause maldigestion or malabsorption are often associated with borborygmus, abdominal distention, and excessive flatus because large amounts of nonassimilated substrates are available for bacterial fermentation. www.hilltopanimalhospital.com /flatulence.htm   (2861 words)

Infotrieve Online Plasma concentrations of immunoreactive SK-896 were determined by radioimmunoassay, and borborygmus was measured as an indicator of drug effect (acceleration of gastrointestinal motility) with an improved Holter electrocardiograph attached to the abdomen. At doses of 40 and 80 micro g, the borborygmus did not continue even when the plasma concentration was maintained, suggesting that tachyphylaxis occurs at a higher dose. The intensity of borborygmus was low with afternoon administration, reaching only one-third to one-half that with morning administration, suggesting that, like native motilin, SK-896 does not stimulate gastrointestinal motility in the non-fasting state. www4.infotrieve.com /newmedline/detail.asp?NameID=12793841&Session=&searchQuery=Motilin&count=1534   (287 words)

Re: WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE NOISE YOUR STOMACH MAKES WHEN IT GROWLS Borborygmus (plural borborygmi) is the rumbling sound made by gas and fluids moving through the intestines. The word was originally coined by the Ancient Greeks in an attempt to imitate the sounds their bellies made when they were hungry (making words that sound like what they describe is called onomatopoeia, of which borborygmus is an example). The reason we experience borborygmi when we are hungry is that our bodies respond to the desire for food by a reflex (like a doctor hitting your knee with a hammer) which prepares the stomach for food by moving the stuff in the intestines out of the way, i.e. www.madsci.org /posts/archives/feb98/884727122.An.r.html   (207 words)
