Large bowel myoelectrical activity in man.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The myoelectrical activity of human colon and rectum has been studied by three types of electrode in man--intraluminal (suction), serosal and cutaneous. The patterns obtained indicate a high degree of consistency between the methods and the value of surface electrodes is emphasized. Gradient along the large bowel of both frequency and percentage electrical activity have been observed and possible physiological roles are postulated for them. By correlating the features of regular electrical and corresponding regular motor waves an alteration in the myoelectrical pattern is observed in the region of the rectosigmoid junction.

Gastric myoelectrical activity in patients with inflammatory bowel disease
AIM Inflammatory bowel disease is characterized by the presence of gastrointestinal motility disturbances; however alterations in the gastric myoelectrical activity have not been characterized. In this study we have recorded the gastric myoelectrical activity in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) during their clinical remission. MATERIALS AND METHODS Gastric activi...
متن کاملComparison of rectosigmoid myoelectrical activity in the irritable colon syndrome during relapses and remissions.
Recent studies have suggested that a high incidence of 0.05 Hz (3 c/m) slow wave electrical activity is present within the rectosigmoid of patients with the irritable colon syndrome during symptomatic phases. However, it is known that this is a chronic relapsing disorder and in this study we have compared myoelectrical recordings, using an on-line frequency analyser, during periods of severe sy...
متن کاملAutonomic nervous system activity in constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome patients
BACKGROUND The main mechanism underlying irritable bowel syndrome is currently believed to be a dysfunction of the brain-gut axis. Autonomic nervous system dysfunction can contribute to development of irritable bowel syndrome symptoms by disturbing visceral sensations. MATERIAL/METHODS Thirty patients with a diagnosis of constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome and 30 healthy volunte...
متن کاملSmall intestinal manometry.
Gastrointestinal motility is an integrated process including myoelectrical and contractile activity, tone, compliance and transit. The techniques for the assessment of gastrointestinal motility are multiple and all have their advantages and disadvantages. In the case of suspected abnormal upper gut transit, gastric and small bowel transit scintigraphy followed by small intestinal (antroduodenoj...

Colonic myoelectrical activity was recorded during 24 hours in 23 patients with painless diarrhoea and compared with a control group of 10 healthy subjects without digestive functional disorders. Diurnal fasting activity showed no significant difference in the total long spike bursts activity (LSB lasting greater than 7 seconds), but short spike bursts activity (SSB, lasting less than 7 seconds...
