Impedance pH confirms the relationship between GERD and BMI.
Published in Digestive Diseases and Sciences
This study shows a clear association between increased reflux as detected by MII-pH and higher BMI. Obesity not only increases the likelihood of reflux events, as shown in previous studies, but also makes it more likely that symptoms reported during MII-pH studies are actually due to MII detected reflux.
Efficacy and tolerability of split-dose PEG compared with split-dose aqueous sodium phosphate for outpatient colonoscopy...
Published in Digestive diseases and sciences
Split-dose PEG, compared with split-dose NaP, is associated with more residual colonic fluid, but produces equivalent colon cleansing efficacy and results in less nausea and vomiting, which might improve patient tolerability (clinical trial registration number NCT01229800).
The efficacy of octreotide in pancreatic and intestinal changes: radiation-induced enteritis in animals.
Published in Digestive Diseases and Sciences
Radiation enteritis occurs during the radiotherapy of many intraabdominal malignancies. Radiation induces cellular injury directly and through the generation of free radicals. In the present study we aimed to investigate the effect of octreotide (OCT) pretreatment in irradiation-induced enteritis. For this aim, rats were injected with 50 microg/kg ...
