Abstract:

Intestinal sound is produced by muscle movements in the digestive tract. The return of intestinal sound after surgery is an important indicator for patients to return to eating and drinking normally. This study aimed to determine whether the administration of laxatives before surgery can speed up the recovery of intestinal sound in patients undergoing surgery with general anesthesia. The study involved 30 patients divided into two groups: a laxative group and a control group. The laxative group received laxatives before surgery, while the control group did not.

Horses were intragastrically infused with each of the following: dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate (dss; 50 mg/kg of body weight); magnesium sulfate (0.5 g/kg—low dosage); magnesium sulfate (1.0 g/kg—high dosage); and an equal volume of water (6 L) given as a control infusion. From 5 to 33 hours after the high dosage of magnesium sulfate, feces were slightly softer than usual in all horses. In 1 horse, dss caused mild colic, hyperpne

Abstract:

Constipation is one of the disorders of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Lack of consumption of water and food with fiber are some of the causes of constipation. Treatment for constipation patients can be solved by administering laxatives through drugs (pharmaceuticals) or using polysaccharide parts from plants. There are at least three types of laxatives: bulking agents (having the ability to bulk up), osmotic agents, and stimulants. Polysaccharides can be sourced from whole or some parts of the plants. Each type of plant has different polysaccharide components, and their effects on constipati

Abstract:

Constipation is far more common in palliative care than diarrhoea and results not just from the use of opioids but also from the multifactorial effects of debility secondary to disease. Most palliative care patients will require regular administration of an oral laxative in a dose titrated against response, with the aim of avoiding the use of suppositories or enemas if possible as these are less liked. The lack of clear differences in laxative efficacy means that cost and patient choice are key factors in guiding treatment. Diarrhoea in palliative care most often results from excess laxative o

Abstract:

Gastrointestinal motility disturbances in critically-ill patients often require treatment with prokinetic drugs. The aetiology of motility disturbances is complex, and involves electrolyte imbalances, hypervolaemia, reduced intestinal secretion, adverse effects of drugs (catecholamines, opioids, or sedatives) and disease- or treatment-related changes of microflora. However, the choice of prokinetics is narrow, and the multiplicity of pathophysiological mechanisms often limits their efficacy. Gastroparesis can be managed with gastrokinetics such as domperidone, metoclopramide and erythromycin.

Gout was once a common malady that immobilized many of the upper class males of ancient Rome and imperial Britain. Both societies blamed it on too much rich food and wine, and they may have been right. The Roman writers, Seneca, Virgil, Juvenal, and Ovid all poked fun at the sufferers of gout, as did the London cartoonists; the popular belief was that it was a just punishment for over-indulgence. Physicians knew of the pain it caused and discovered that it was due to sharp crystals of uric acid between the joints of the bones; but what caused these to form?

Abstract:

Drugs for managing constipation and diarrhea are crucial in treating gastrointestinal disorders that disrupt normal bowel function. Constipation is commonly treated with laxatives, which are classified into several types based on their mechanisms of action: bulk-forming agents (e.g., psyllium), which increase stool bulk and promote peristalsis; osmotic laxatives (e.g., polyethylene glycol), which draw water into the bowel to soften stools; stimulant laxatives (e.g., bisacodyl), which stimulate intestinal motility; and stool softeners (e.g., docusate), which facilitate the mixing of water and f

Abstract When pain is moderate and can’t be controlled by the non-opioid (nonnarcotic) drugs, the next step is to use a weak opioid, of which codeine is the most well known.
