Rectal Mechano-sensory Function in Patients with Carcinoid Diarrhea.
BACKGROUND/AIMS In patients with neuroendocrine tumors, excessive production of serotonin and other amines may cause the carcinoid syndrome,which is mainly characterized by diarrhea and flushing. Little is known about the pathophysiology of carcinoid diarrhea. In severalother groups of patients, diarrhea may be associated with rectal hypersensitivity and increased rectal tone. Therefore, the ai...

spontaneous activity. The pst-histogram of responses to the simultaneously presented two tones at the frequencies slightly different from each other had no ripples corresponding the beat between the two sounds regardless whether or not their phases were locked at their starts, but the histogram showed a slowly progressing monophasic suppression. The suppression by the c-tone on the spontaneous ...
متن کاملRegional Gastrointestinal Transit Times in Patients With Carcinoid Diarrhea: Assessment With the Novel 3D-Transit System
BACKGROUND/AIMS The paucity of knowledge regarding gastrointestinal motility in patients with neuroendocrine tumors and carcinoid diarrhea re-stricts targeted treatment. 3D-Transit is a novel, minimally invasive, ambulatory method for description of gastrointestinal motility. The system has not yet been evaluated in any group of patients. We aimed to test the performance of 3D-Transit in patien...
متن کاملMechano-Gated Ion Channels in Sensory Systems
Living organisms sense their physical environment through cellular mechanotransduction, which converts mechanical forces into electrical and biochemical signals. In turn, signal transduction serves a wide variety of functions, from basic cellular processes as diverse as proliferation, differentiation, migration, and apoptosis up to some of the most sophisticated senses, including touch and hear...
متن کاملEffect of a Structured Sensory Stimulation Program on the Sensory Function of Patients with Stroke-induced Disorder of Consciousness
Background: About 50% of stroke patients suffer from the disorder of consciousness with such adverse effects as sensory deprivation. The provision of a care program consisting of simple and safe stimulations can prevent sensory deprivation and improve the patient’s sensory function. Aim: This study aimed to determine the effect of structured sensory stimulation program on the sensory function o...
