An exocrine pancreatic function test using secretin-chole-
cystokinin or caerulein is considered the best test possible because of its high sensitivity and specificity. However, this test is complex, time consuming, unpleasant for the patient and not feasible in some cases. Therefore, many alternative methods have been developed, such as the p-aminobenzoic acid and fluorescein dilaurate tests, serum trypsin and faecal chymotrypsin concentrations, and e...
متن کاملDynamic carbon 13 breath tests for the study of liver function and gastric emptying
In gastroenterological practice, breath tests (BTs) are diagnostic tools used for indirect, non-invasive assessment of several pathophysiological metabolic processes, by monitoring the appearance in breath of a metabolite of a specific substrate. Labelled substrates originally employed radioactive carbon 14 ((14)C) and, more recently, the stable carbon 13 isotope ((13)C) has been introduced to ...
متن کامل13C-sodium acetate breath test for evaluation of gastric emptying times in dogs with gastric dilatation-volvulus.
OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to assess solid phase gastric emptying via non-invasive 13C-sodium acetate breath test in large breed dogs with or without gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV). MATERIAL AND METHODS Dogs were recruited into one of the following groups: group 1 = healthy large breed dogs with no history of GDV, group 2 = dogs that underwent elective abdominal surgery for reasons...
متن کاملNo evidence of impaired gastric emptying in early Huntington‘s Disease
BACKGROUND Several factors, such as dysphagia, an increased motor activity, increased metabolic rate and a hypermetabolic state have been discussed as contributing to weight loss even at the early stages of Huntington's Disease (HD). Aim of this pilot study was to investigate gastric emptying as a possible reason for weight loss in HD. METHODS 11 HD participants at early stages of the disease...
متن کاملEffect of an abrupt switch from a milk-based to a fibre-based diet on gastric emptying rates in pigs: difference between origins of fibre.
A characteristic dietary feature at weaning is a switch from a milk-based to plant-based diet, i.e. from a non-fibrous to a fibrous diet. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of such an abrupt dietary switch on gastric emptying rate in pigs maintained on a milk substitute after weaning. Eighteen piglets were kept on a milk substitute for 5 weeks after weaning and were then switched t...
