In addition, this study evaluated the degree of overlap between the stomach and the colon or jejunum in the anterior (AP) and left anterior oblique (LAO) projections in CT studies of the abdomen. METHODS Fifteen patients were studied twice, 1 d apart, with inst...
متن کاملExperience with a simplified, standardized 4-hour gastric-emptying protocol.
UNLABELLED Gastric-emptying studies have no accepted standard methodology or reference values. A simplified standardized protocol with a large reference database has been proposed, with imaging obtained at only 0, 1, 2, and 4 h. The rationale for its 4-h length is data suggesting that delayed emptying is detected with higher sensitivity at 4 h than at 2 h. The purpose of the current investigati...

Under double-blind conditions, 39 patients appearing consecutively for emergency surgery were gi...
متن کاملModels of gastric emptying.
Some empirical and theoretical models of the emptying behaviour of the stomach are presented. The laws of Laplace, Hooke, and Poisseuille are used to derive a new model of gastric emptying. Published data on humans are used to test the model and evaluate empirical constants. It is shown that for meals with an initial volume of larger than or equal to 300 ml, the reciprocal of the cube root of t...
متن کاملGastric emptying in myotonic dystrophy.
BACKGROUND Gastrointestinal symptoms are common and important for the quality of life in patients with myotonic dystrophy (MD).
