Colonic transit tests are used to manage patients with Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders. Some expose ionizing radiation. The aim of this study was compare novel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for measuring orocecal time (OCTT) and whole gut (WGT), which also provide data on colonic volumes.21 healthy volunteers participated. Study 1: OCTT determined from the arrival head a meal into cecum using MRI Lactose Ureide breath test (LUBT), performed concurrently. 2: WGT assessed marker...
Intragastric creaming and droplet size of fat emulsions may affect intragastric behavior gastrointestinal satiety responses.We tested the hypotheses that physiologic responses will be increased by an increase in stability a decrease emulsion.This was double-blind, randomized crossover study 11 healthy persons [8 men 3 women, aged 24 ± 1 y; body mass index (in kg/m(2)): 24.4 0.9] who consumed meals containing 300-g 20% oil water emulsion (2220 kJ) with 1) larger, 6-μm mean (Coarse treatment)...
Abstract Background Most methods of assessing colonic motility are poorly acceptable to patients. Magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI ) can monitor gastrointestinal and fluid distributions. We predicted that a dose oral polyethylene glycol PEG electrolyte solution would increase ileo‐colonic inflow stimulate motility. aimed investigate the response distension by in healthy volunteers HV s) evaluate effect single 2 L vs split (2 × 1 L) dosing. Methods Twelve s received (1 evening before on study...
Historically, several classification systems have been used for brachytherapy, and they were based on the type of clinical purpose, implant timing implant, dose-rate, loading treatment delivery. However, over last decades, there some major technological advancements, including introduction image-guidance possibility to modulate dose delivered, which led authors (in order highlight differences between old technique new approach) label it in a different way by replacing "brachytherapy" with...
Interventional radiotherapy (IRT, brachytherapy) is a highly effective treatment method for non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC). Traditionally, the maximum depth of NMSC lesions considered eligible contact IRT was 5 mm; however, following several national surveys and recent recommendations, such cut-off, thicker than mm may be treated by IRT. The use image guidance in defining actual treating to correctly identify clinical target volume (CTV) prevent unnecessary toxicity paramount importance....
Compared with nonaerated, isocaloric controls, aerated foods can reduce appetite throughout an entire dieting day. Increased gastric volumes and delayed emptying are possible but unexplored mechanisms.We tested the hypothesis that drinks (foams) of differing stability would increase distension compared a control drink.In randomized, balanced, crossover trial, 18 healthy male participants consumed following 3 skimmed-milk-based test products (all 110 kcal): 2 to foams by whipping (to 490 mL),...
The aim of this study is to test a novel multiparametric imaging guided procedure for high-dose-rate brachytherapy in anal canal cancer, order evaluate the feasibility and safety.For analysis, we considered all consecutive patients who underwent magnetic resonance/computed tomography image adapted (MR/CT-IABT) treated from February 2012 July 2014. To conduct project, formed working group that established identified indicators benchmarks safety. We acceptable if 90% were consistent with...
Neurite Orientation Dispersion and Density Imaging (NODDI) Bingham-NODDI diffusion MRI models are nowadays very well-known in the field of as they represent powerful tools for estimation brain microstructure. In order to efficiently translate NODDI imaging findings into diagnostic clinical practice, a test-retest approach would be useful assess reproducibility reliability biomarkers, thus providing validation on precision different fitting toolboxes. this context, we conducted study with aim...
Interventional radiotherapy (brachytherapy) has become the new therapeutic standard in management of early stages nasal vestibule tumors; fact it allows for high local control rates and low toxicity profiles. However, since more patients will receive interventional as primary treatment, is desirable to implement novel strategies reduce dose organs at risk with future aim result further lowering long-term side effects.We were able identify two different treatment volume, including...
Summary Background Loperamide ( LOP ) is an anti‐diarrhoeal agent which thought to act largely by slowing transit with uncertain effect on the fluid content of small and large bowel in humans. Adding simethicone SIM improves its efficacy, but mechanism interaction unclear. Novel MRI techniques assess water SBWC have shown that mannitol solutions markedly increase can be used as a model diarrhoea. Aim We aimed use quantitative compare actions gut + secretory diarrhoea using mannitol. Methods...
