OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study is to assess 2 different bowel-cleansing agents.
METHODS
The patients were prospectively randomized to 2 arms of sodium phosphate versus Sennoside A+B calcium preparation. Laboratory assessment, body weight, height, and vital signs were obtained at baseline and before
BACKGROUND
The aim of the present study was to compare the efficacy, adequacy, side effects, and patient compliance of sodium phosphorus (NaP) and senna solutions when preparing the colon before colonoscopy.
METHODS
A total of 137 consecutive patients who were considered for colonoscopy evaluation
OBJECTIVE
Poor mucosal coating, due to excess of fluid in the colon lumen, is a problem when the oral lavage method (4 litres of an iso-osmotic saline solution containing polyethylene glycol) is used as a preparation for double-contrast barium enema. Our aim was to assess the value of prior
BACKGROUND A complete cleansing of the bowel is a critical factor that impacts the diagnostic accuracy of colonoscopies. However, the common bowel preparation regimen of two 45 mL doses of sodium phosphate (2×NaP) often leads to uncomfortable symptoms and subsequently lower patient adherence. To
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the most effective way of cleansing the colon lumen for double contrast colon enema with a single preparation at osmotic effect.
METHODS
We examined 80 patients (age range: 29-84 years) and divided them into two groups. Group 1: patients (no. 41) were prepared with the
The effects on gastrointestinal motility of 3 senna preparations containing 18% oxidized Ca-sennosides, 60% Ca-sennosides, or pure sennosides A + B were tested in dogs and rats as measured by electromyography. Oral administration of the oxidized products in the fasted animal increased the activity
Background and aim: The aim of this study was to compare the quality and tolerability of bowel preparation using split high-doses of sennosides versus split-dose polyethylene glycol (PEG).
Methods: In this prospective, randomized,
