We aimed to evaluate colonic dysmotility and morphology in Japanese patients with IBS. METHODS One hundred eighty-four patients with IBS and 49 asymptomatic controls who underwent colonoscopy ...

More than 45 years later, the war is still going steady, with the enemy being almost as strong as in 1971.

متن کاملDiffuse gastrointestinal dysmotility by ultrasonography, manometry and breath tests in colonic inertia.
Patients with colonic inertia, the most severe form of chronic functional constipation, may present with a more diffuse panenteric motility disorder. We describe a case of a woman with severe longstanding colonic inertia associated with chronic functional dyspepsia and defective gastric, gallbladder and small intestinal motility, as confirmed by several diagnostic tests including two breath tes...
متن کاملRole of oxidative stress in oxaliplatin‐induced enteric neuropathy and colonic dysmotility in mice

However, its use is associated with severe gastrointestinal side-effects resulting in dose limitations and/or cessation of treatment. In this study, we tested whether oxidative stress, caused by chronic oxaliplatin treatment, induces enteric neuronal damage and coloni...
