Download or read book Colonic Motility written by Sushil K. Sarna and published by Biota Publishing. This book was released on 2010-11-01 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three distinct types of contractions perform colonic motility functions. Rhythmic phasic contractions (RPCs) cause slow net distal propulsion with extensive mixing/turning over. Infrequently occurring giant migrating contractions (GMCs) produce mass movements. Tonic contractions aid RPCs in their motor function. The spatiotemporal patterns of these contractions differ markedly. The amplitude and distance of propagation of a GMC are several-fold larger than those of an RPC. The enteric neurons and smooth muscle cells are the core regulators of all three types of contractions. The regulation of contractions by these mechanisms is modifiable by extrinsic factors: CNS, autonomic neurons, hormones, inflammatory mediators, and stress mediators. Only the GMCs produce descending inhibition, which accommodates the large bolus being propelled without increasing muscle tone. The strong compression of the colon wall generates afferent signals that are below nociceptive threshold in healthy subjects. However, these signals become nociceptive; if the amplitudes of GMCs increase, afferent nerves become hypersensitive, or descending inhibition is impaired. The GMCs also provide the force for rapid propulsion of feces and descending inhibition to relax the internal anal sphincter during defecation. The dysregulation of GMCs is a major factor in colonic motility disorders: irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and diverticular disease (DD). Frequent mass movements by GMCs cause diarrhea in diarrhea predominant IBS, IBD, and DD, while a decrease in the frequency of GMCs causes constipation. The GMCs generate the afferent signals for intermittent short-lived episodes of abdominal cramping in these disorders. Epigenetic dysregulation due to adverse events in early life is one of the major factors in generating the symptoms of IBS in adulthood.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essential Surgery is a comprehensive and highly illustrated textbook for clinical students as well as a practical manual for junior doctors and those preparing for postgraduate qualifications in surgery. The unique feature of the book is its problem-orientated nature as distinct to the traditional disease-based structure. Explains the pathophysiological basis of surgical diseases and of their management to help bridge the gap between the basic medical sciences and clinical problems.

This book was released on 2021-11-16 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gastrointestinal tract disorders are the disorders involving the gastrointestinal tract, namely, stomach, esophagus, large intestine, small intestine, rectum and the accessory organs of digestion such as pancreas, gall bladder and liver. These disorders basically are of five types: oral diseases, esophageal diseases, gastric diseases, intestinal diseases and accessory digestive gland diseases. A few of the common oral diseases are plaque-induced diseases such as periodontitis, gingivitis and dental caries. Acute esophageal diseases include trauma caused by ingestion of corrosive substances, infections such as esophagitis, etc. Some examples of gastric diseases are pyloric stenosis, gastric cancer and atrophic gastritis. Intestinal diseases include the diseases of both small and large intestine. The objective of this book is to give a general view of the various gastrointestinal tract disorders. It presents researches and studies performed by experts across the globe. This book is an essential guide for both academicians and those who wish to pursue this discipline further.

Download or read book Diseases of the Stomach and Upper Alimentary Tract Classic Reprint written by Anthony Bassler and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-29 with total page 1056 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Diseases of the Stomach and Upper Alimentary Tract IN the advancing of this volume it is not the purpose of the author to assist in the erroneous movement of divorcing the diseases Of the stomach and upper alimentary tract from the field of internal medicine to which it rightfully belongs. Nor does he wish to approach the consideration of gastro-enterology by including it in the broader field, and thus add to these pages all of the subject matter found in text-books on the Principles and Practice Of Medicine. In these more scientific days of our profession, ardent workers in the fields of physiology and nosology of the alimentary canal have elucidated much of practical value. My observations have coincided with some and been at variance with others; my experiences and thoughts have led me along a few modest lines of my own, and these, with some new personal contributions herein corporated, and the desire to write a scientific and handy work for the busy general practitioner of medicine, a book which is practical rather than charged with the dis eussions and the theories of different observers, are my reasons for the offering of this treatise.

Download or read book The Gastrointestinal Circulation written by Peter R. Kvietys and published by Morgan & Claypool Publishers. This book was released on 2010 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The microcirculation of the gastrointestinal tract is under the control of both myogenic and metabolic regulatory systems. The myogenic mechanism contributes to basal vascular tone and the regulation of transmural pressure, while the metabolic mechanism is responsible for maintaining an appropriate balance between O2 demand and O2 delivery. In the postprandial state, hydrolytic products of food digestion elicit a hyperemia, which serves to meet the increased O2 demand of nutrient assimilation. Metabolically linked factors (e.g., tissue pO2, adenosine) are primarily responsible for this functional hyperemia. The fenestrated capillaries of the gastrointestinal mucosa are relatively permeable to small hydrolytic products of food digestion (e.g., glucose), yet restrict the transcapillary movement of larger molecules (e.g., albumin). This allows for the absorption of hydrolytic products of food digestion without compromising the oncotic pressure gradient governing transcapillary fluid movement and edema formation. The gastrointestinal microcirculation is also an important component of the mucosal defense system whose function is to prevent (and rapidly repair) inadvertent epithelial injury by potentially noxious constituents of chyme. Two pathological conditions in which the gastrointestinal circulation plays an important role are ischemia/reperfusion and chronic portal hypertension. Ischemia/reperfusion results in mucosal edema and disruption of the epithelium due, in part, to an inflammatory response (e.g., increase in capillary permeability to macromolecules and neutrophil infiltration). Chronic portal hypertension results in an increase in gastrointestinal blood flow due to an imbalance in vasodilator and vasoconstrictor influences on the microcirculation.
