Novel MRI tests of orocecal transit time and whole gut transit time: studies in normal subjects
BACKGROUND Colonic transit tests are used to manage patients with Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders. Some tests used expose patients to ionizing radiation. The aim of this study was to compare novel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) tests for measuring orocecal transit time (OCTT) and whole gut transit time (WGT), which also provide data on colonic volumes. METHODS 21 healthy volunteers pa...
متن کاملBreath tests for the assessment of the orocecal transit time.
Orocecal transit time (OCTT) is one of the main determinant of the hunger ratings and gastrointestinal sensitivity. While marked-isotopes scintigraphy is the gold standard in its determination in the clinical frame, breath tests are cheap, well-tolerated and non-invasive alternatives. In fact C-13 and C-14 stable isotopes breath tests can be used to assess gastric emptying and OCTT in the clini...
متن کاملColonic Transit Time and Gut Peptides in Adult Patients with Slow and Normal Colonic Transit Constipation
PURPOSE To investigate whether pathophysiological differences exist among healthy controls (HC) and patients with slow and normal transit constipation (STC and NTC), we evaluated (1) gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms using validated questionnaires; (2) circulating concentrations of neurotensin, motilin, corticotrophin-releasing factor (CRF), and somatostatin; and (3) possible differences in freque...

متن کاملColonic transit time--what is normal?
BACKGROUND Constipation is a common problem in childhood, and various radiologic methods have been advocated for investigation. Colonic transit time (CTT) has been used in adults to investigate colonic motility, but few studies evaluate this method in children. Data on CTT in the normal paediatric population are scarce. METHODS The colonic transit time was measured in 22 healthy children (med...
