Abstract:
Constipation is the second most commonly self-reported gastrointestinal symptom. On the basis of anorectal physiological investigations and colonic transit studies, a subgroup of patients with several intractable symptoms, but without organic disease will be found to have slow transit constipation (STC). STC is a condition of gut dysmotility which predominantly affects young women, and may result in surgical intervention with variable, often unsatisfactory results. The aetiology remains elusive. New aetiological hypotheses for STC were examined following full clinical and pathophysiological ch

Abstract:
This thesis sets out to examine the hypothesis that some patients with idiopathic constipation, notably those who develop their symptoms following childbirth or hysterectomy, have regional as opposed to total colonic dysmotility. Such a group may be amenable to segmental rather than total colonic resection. Several clinical studies are presented which establish postchildbirth/hysterectomy constipation as a distinct subgroup of idiopathic constipation. Studies of gastric emptying demonstrate that patients with postchildbirth/hysterectomy constipation have normal motility in the proximal gastroi

Abstract:
Introduction: Our knowledge of normal human colonic motility remains incomplete. Historically, this has been due to the relative inaccessibility of this organ for study, and the lack of standardisation of methods used to investigate it. Recent device development has provided us with advanced tools by which to assess colonic motility, namely pancolonic manometry, and the wireless motility capsule (WMC). Using traditional diagnostic tests, a subgroup of patients presenting with severe intractable symptoms, but without organic disease, are found to have slow transit constipation (STC). This is be

Morphine is one of the most widely used drugs for the treatment of pain but its clinical efficacy is limited by adverse effects including persistent constipation and colonic inflammation. Morphine-induced colonic inflammation is facilitated by microbial dysbiosis and bacterial translocation.

In chronic morphine treated mice (75 mg morphine pellet/5 days), ATP-induced currents were significantly enhanced in enteric glia isolated from the mouse colon myenteric plexus. Chronic morp

The next study investigates the outcome of transcutaneous stimulation of the sacrum for faecal incontinence.

Constipation is a common complaint in people with neurological diseases causing significant physical and psychological distress.
