Does Hypothyroidism Affect Gastrointestinal Motility?
BACKGROUND Gastrointestinal motility and serum thyroid hormone levels are closely related. Our aim was to analyze whether there is a disorder in esophagogastric motor functions as a result of hypothyroidism. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study group included 30 females (mean age +/- SE 45.17 +/- 2.07 years) with primary hypothyroidism and 10 healthy females (mean age +/- SE 39.40 +/- 3.95 years)....

OBJECTIVES We sought to assess the effects of subclinical hypothyroidism (SHT) on the cardiac volumes and function. BACKGROUND The cardiovascular system is one of the principal targets of thyroid hormones. Subclinical hypothyroidism is a common disorder that may represent “early” thyroid failure. METHODS Thyroid profile was evaluated in 30 females with SHT and 20 matched control subjects. Left ...
متن کاملDoes disorder of gastrointestinal motility affect food intake in the post-surgical patient?
In summary, POI is a predictable event with actual return of bowel function preceding clinically detectable signs of function by at least 24 h. All parts of the gastrointestinal tract are affected, but small-intestinal function returns first, probably as early as 4-8 h after surgery in many cases. The timing of restarting feeding could be earlier than current practice would suggest, and because...
متن کاملGastrointestinal Motility
Anatomic regions of the stomach are the fundus, corpus (body), antrum and pylorus. The functional regions of the stomach do not correspond to the anatomic regions. Functionally, the stomach can be divided into the gastric reservoir and the gastric pump (Fig. 1). The gastric reservoir consists of the fundus and corpus. The gastric pump is represented by the area at which peristaltic waves occur:...
متن کاملGastrointestinal Motility
Gastrointestinal (GI) motility is an essential function of digestive and absorptive processes of the gut, required for propelling intestinal contents, mixing them with digestive juices, and preparing unabsorbed particles for excretion. Pivotal to the discussion of mechanisms for producing defined patterns of motor responses are important and intimately related aspects of intestinal neurophysiol...
