Investigación

Hasse Abrahamsson y Simeon Antov, investigador en el Hospital Universitario Sahlgrenska, desarrollaron el principio del método Transit-Pellets™. El método se conoce formalmente como el método Abrahamsson y recibió el nombre método Transit-Pellets en 2014. A continuación encontrará ejemplos de publicaciones significativas: Estudios que utilizan el método Transit-Pellets.

En comparación con otros métodos, Wagner y otros (2004) y Vande Velde y otros (2013) llegaron a la conclusión de que el método Abrahamsson es el método preferido para el estudio del tránsito colónico en niños y adolescentes.
