BACKGROUND
Gastrointestinal symptoms are commonly reported among persons with diabetes mellitus and are attributed to gastropathy as an expression of autonomic neuropathy. These symptoms are also frequent in the general population. The goal of this study was to compare the prevalence of fullness,
Gastropathy on the basis of mesenteric arterial ischemia can be masked in presentation as the typically more benign entities of gastritis, gastric ulceration, or gastric atony. Gastritis and ulceration are commonly associated with stress, hyperacidity, Helicobacter pylori infection, or medication
OBJECTIVE
The objectives of this study were to (i) survey the risk factors for NSAID gastropathy in outpatients (elderly patients in the community), compared to those living in old people's homes or nursing homes, (ii) study the prescription of medication prophylaxis during use of NSAIDs conform the
BACKGROUND
The treatments available for diabetic gastropathy are frequently ineffective. Clinical observations suggest that clonidine, an a-2 adrenergic agonist, may improve diabetic gastropathy symptoms.
OBJECTIVE
To establish whether a single oral dose of clonidine alters the gastric emptying of a
The nausea and vomiting that can complicate advanced diabetes is often attributed to impaired gastric motility. Not all patients with diabetic gastropathy show marked abnormality on gastric emptying studies, however. The mechanism remains uncertain, although cases complicated by a bezoar may respond
Electrogastrography is the recording and measurement of gastric myoelectrical activity from electrodes placed on the surface of the epigastrium. Normal electrogastrograms (EGGs) reflect 3 cycles per min (cpm) gastric myoelectrical activity produced by specialized pacemaker cells, the interstitial
Hypertrophic hypersecretory gastropathy with protein loss (HHGP) is a rare form of acquired gastropathy characterized by giant gastric rugal folds and hypoalbuminemia. It is often misdiagnosed as Ménétrier's disease. We report the case of a 45-year-old man with HHGP who presented with nausea and
Diabetic gastropathy is a term that encompasses a number of neuromuscular dysfunctions of the stomach, including abnormalities of gastric contractility, tone, and myoelectrical activity in patients with diabetes. These abnormalities range from tachygastrias to antral hypomotility and frank
The objective of this review is to outline gastrointestinal factors that may be relevant to nausea and vomiting of pregnancy. Gastric neuromuscular dysfunctions of the stomach include abnormalities in gastric myoelectrical activity, gastric tone, and contractility, all of which may result in
The cases of 43 patients with hypoproteinemic hypertrophic gastropathy (Ménétrièr's disease) seen at the Mayo Clinic during 1970 to 1980 are reviewed. Characteristically, patients with Ménétrièr's disease are older than 60 years of age and have epigastric pain, weight loss, nausea, diarrhea, and
OBJECTIVE
A consecutive series of Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomies with a mean follow-up of 11.9 years was reviewed to characterize the long-term results of patients having this operation to treat or prevent bile reflux gastritis.
BACKGROUND
Development of postprandial abdominal discomfort, nausea,
Gastrointestinal infection due to cytomegalovirus occurs frequently in liver transplant recipients. Upper gastrointestinal cytomegalovirus infection is associated with subjective complaints of nausea, a sense of abdominal fullness, and occasionally emesis and/or dysphagia. In order to determine
BACKGROUND
In the systemic sclerosis (SSc) gastrointestinal manifestations are present up to 90 % and the esophagus is the most affected organ. The purpose was to investigate clinical, endoscopic and manometric upper gastroesophageal manifestations in patients with SSc.
METHODS
We studied 60
BACKGROUND
The aims of this study were to determine the electrogastrogram (EGG) changes and gastric emptying rates in diabetic patients and to investigate the correlation between upper gastrointestinal symptoms, fasting blood glucose, and gastric myoelectrical abnormalities.
METHODS
Fourteen
A cutaneous electrogastrogram (EGG) is a recording of the electrical activity of the stomach by means of electrodes placed on the abdominal skin surface. Recently, there has been an increased interest in the cutaneous EGG due to the development of new recording techniques and improved methods of
