Title: | Is colonic electrical activity a similar phenomena to small-bowel electrical activity? | Authors: | Medeiros, José A. S. Pontes, Fausto A. Mesquita, Octávio A. R. O. |
Issue Date: | 1997 | Citation: | Diseases of the Colon & Rectum. 40:1 (1997) 93-99 | Abstract: | PURPOSE: This study was designed to investigate colonic spike bursts regarding 1) their migration behavior, 2) their pressure correlates, and 3) comparing colonic short spike bursts with spike bursts from migrating myoelectric complex from the small bowel. METHODS: Rectosigmoid electromyography and manometry were recorded simultaneously in seven normal volunteers and electromyography alone in five others during two hours of fasting and for two hours after one 2,100-kJ meal. One patient with an ileostomy was also studied by the same method to record the migrating myoelectric complex from the terminal ileum during fasting. RESULTS: Three kinds of spike bursts were observed in the pelvic colon: rhythmic short spike bursts, migrating long spike bursts, and nonmigrating long spike bursts. The meal significantly increased the number of migrating and nonmigrating long spike bursts (from 25 to 38.7 percent of the recording time;P. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/8488 | DOI: | 10.1007/BF02055689 | Rights: | openAccess |
