Differential gallbladder contractility in fundal adenomyomatosis: demonstration by cholecystokinin cholescintigraphy.
The cholecystokinin cholescintigraphic findings of fundal adenomyomatosis in a 29-yr-old male with severe post-prandial pain are presented. Planar cholescintigraphy demonstrated a trilobed gallbladder contour. Following the administration of 0.02 micrograms/kg of cholecystokinin at maximal gallbladder filling, fundal dyskinesia was observed. Regional gallbladder ejection fractions were: whole g...
متن کاملImpaired fatty-meaktimulated gallbladder contractility in patients with Crohn’s disease
1. The incidence of gallstones in patients with Crohn’s disease is increased compared with that in healthy control subjects. This is in part due to reduced terminal ileal bile salt absorption and consequent increased cholesterol saturation in bile. The aim of this study was to evaluate gallbladder contractility, a second important factor in the pathogenesis of gallstones, in Crohn’s disease. 2....
متن کاملMeasuring Dimensions of Lumbar Intervertebral Discs in Normal Subjects
Introduction: Disc degeneration is a natural aging process characterized by changes in appearance and chemical structure of the disc. This degeneration leads to back pain. In regard to the limitation of current therapeutical methods for patients with degenerated discs, arthroplasty has been suggested as an alternative method. To manufacture artificial discs for Iranians, determining normal lumb...
متن کاملClinical Relationship between Steatocholecystitis and Gallbladder Contractility Measured by Cholescintigraphy
Objective. Contractility of gallbladder is known to be decreased in fatty gallbladder diseases. However, clinical estimation data about this relationship is still lacking. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between steatocholecystitis and contractility of gallbladder. Methods. Patients with cholecystitis (steatocholecystitis versus nonsteatocholecystitis) who underwent cho...
متن کاملRegional variation in the timing and extent of left ventricular wall motion in normal subjects.
Right anterior oblique cineangiograms from 19 subjects without evidence of heart disease were analysed to assess regional non-uniformity in the time of onset of systolic inward motion, amplitude of systolic motion, time of peak inward motion, and wall motion during the isovolumic relaxation period. The left ventricular silhouette was digitised frame by frame for a full cardiac cycle. These four...
