Scintigraphic Small Intestinal Transit Time and Defaecography in Patients with J-Pouch.
Objective methods for examination of pouch function are warranted for a better understanding of the functional result and treatment of dysfunction. The objective of this study was to evaluate the results of scintigraphic intestinal transit time and defaecography compared to the results of pouch function, mucosal condition and a questionnaire on quality of life (QoL). This cross-sectional study ...
متن کاملElectrochemical detector for breath hydrogen determination: measurement of small bowel transit time in normal subjects and patients with the irritable bowel syndrome.
A method is described for the measurement of hydrogen in expired air, using an electrochemical detector. The apparatus is simple to use and sensitive. Its application is illustrated by studies of small bowel transit time made by measuring the time between oral ingestion of the unabsorbable carbohydrate lactulose and a rise in the concentration of hydrogen in expired air. In 20 control subjects ...
متن کاملUtility of hydrogen breath tests in diagnosis of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth in malabsorption syndrome and its relationship with oro-cecal transit time.
BACKGROUND Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), which may result from intestinal stasis, is common in malabsorption syndrome (MAS). Quantitative culture of upper gut aspirate is used as a gold standard for the diagnosis of SIBO. Studies on diagnosis of SIBO using non-invasive hydrogen breath tests are contradictory. METHODS 83 patients (age 35 [14-70] y; 50 men) with MAS due to vario...
متن کاملA comparison of methods of assessment of scintigraphic colon transit.
UNLABELLED There is no standard method of analysis of scintigraphic colonic transit investigation. This study was designed to compare 4 techniques. METHODS Sixteen subjects (median age, 37.5 y; range, 21-61 y), who had sustained a spinal cord injury more than a year before the study, were given a pancake labeled with 10-18 MBq of (111)In bound to resin beads to eat. Anterior and posterior ima...
متن کاملProlonged small-intestinal transit time in cystic fibrosis.
A lactulose hydrogen breath test was performed on 10 patients with cystic fibrosis and 15 control subjects matched for age and sex. All normal subjects had a fasting breath hydrogen concentration of less than 20 ppm. In contrast, seven of the patients with cystic fibrosis had high concentrations (25-170 ppm), which fell to 20 ppm or below on prolonged fasting (14-23 hours). Two patients showed ...
