Nuclear medicine tests for acute gastrointestinal conditions.
Acute cholecystitis (AC) and lower-gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding are 2 emergencies commonly encountered in nuclear medicine. Evidence of AC on hepatobiliary scintigraphy (HBS) allows for confident diagnosis and provides support for definitive surgical treatment. Proper patient preparation is essential for HBS including fasting and the use of pharmacologic adjuncts is sometimes required. Pharma...
متن کاملNuclear medicine imaging in the evaluation of functional gastrointestinal disorders
The functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) are an enigmatic group of maladies of the GI system which, until recently, were poorly understood and often neglected by clinicians. These disorders present with a constellation of GI tract systems, such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal bloating and diarrhoea. Following detailed clinical and imaging evaluation in the search for organic disease, if...
متن کاملPharmacologic interventions in nuclear medicine assessment of cardiac perfusion.
Drugs that are currently used for therapeutic purposes can also be used in diagnostic tests. This paper will review the use of such pharmacological interventions in cardiac assessment in Nuclear Medicine. To fully comprehend the effect of these drugs, a small review of diagnostic nuclear medicine as currently used to assess cardiac perfusion is included. This will allow pharmacists to understan...
متن کاملMitochondrial DNA, Gastrointestinal Motor and Sensory Functions in Health and Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders
248 words) Nerve, muscle and inflammatory cells involved in gastrointestinal (GI) function have high-energy requirements, and are affected in mitochondrial disorders. Familial aggregation of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) frequently involves mothers and their children. Since mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is maternally inherited, mtDNA single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) could confer risk to the ...
