Sustained mental stress alters human jejunal motor activity.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effect of prolonged mental stress on upper small bowel motility was studied in 11 healthy, medical students using a pressure-sensitive radio-pill. During eight hours of continuous observation, subjects were stressed for four hours with a modified dichotomous listening test. During the first two hours of stress, inhibition of fasting motor complexes occurred and this effect was marked in the seven subjects who showed an appreciable cardiovascular response to stress.

Normal patterns of human upper small bowel motor activity recorded by prolonged radiotelemetry.
In order to characterise human interdigestive cyclical motor activity, and its interruption by food, jejunal pressure changes in healthy volunteers were recorded continuously for 24 hours, using an ingested pressure-sensitive radiotelemetry capsule tethered at the duodenojejunal flexure. In 20 studies, the subjects fasted throughout; in another 20 studies they received a single standard meal. U...
متن کاملSertraline alters level of adenosine deaminase activity, oxidative stress markers and cardiac biomarkers (homocysteine cardiac troponin I) in rats
The aim of this study is whether oxidative stress markers, homocysteine (Hcy), cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and the activity of adenosine deaminase (ADA) alter following administration of different doses of sertraline. Sixty male Wistar rats were assigned into four groups. Sertraline at doses of 20, 40 and 80 mg / kg / day) were administered to three groups through gastric gavage for 90 days. The ...
متن کاملMotor unit substitution in long-duration contractions of the human trapezius muscle.
We examined the activity pattern of low-threshold motor units in the human trapezius muscle during contractions of 10 min duration. Three procedures were applied in sequence: 1) static contraction controlled by maintaining a constant low level of the surface electromyogram (EMG)-detected root-mean-square signal, 2) a manipulation task with mental concentration, and 3) copying a text on a word p...
متن کاملFasting motor activity occurs during a day of normal meals in healthy subjects.
Using a radiotelemetric technique of pressure recording which did not interfere with normal feeding, jejunal motor activity was recorded in seven healthy human subjects, who were given three hospital meals during the course of a day, and allowed ad libitum supplementary snacks. Fasting motor activity was detected during the day in five subjects, and, although its occurrence was very variable, t...
متن کاملResults of reconstruction with jejunal pouch after gastrectomy: correlation with gastrointestinal motor activity.
BACKGROUND/AIMS To investigate if restoration of esophago-intestinal or esophago-gastric continuity with a jejunal pouch after total or proximal gastrectomy has clinical benefits. METHODS We reviewed all relevant reports published after 1990 that dealt with the clinical results of reconstruction with a jejunal pouch after total and proximal gastrectomies and correlated those findings with res...
