Systematic evaluation of cough‐anorectal pressure responses in health and in fecal incontinence: A high‐resolution anorectal manometry study

Neurogastroenterology and Motility, 2020
Anorectal manometry is the most commonly performed test of anorectal function. The cough‐anorectal response is frequently assessed as part of a routine manometric investigation but has not previously been the subject of detailed analysis.

Interrater reliability in pediatric high‐resolution anorectal manometry recordings

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives High‐resolution anorectal manometry (HR‐ARM) is a diagnostic test assessing anorectal neuromuscular function in children with constipation and/or fecal incontinence. Interrater reliability of HR‐ARM in children has not been previously studied. The aim of this study was to assess the interrater reliability of pediatric HR‐ARM studies.

Slow Transit Constipation: Pathophysiological Perspectives and Management Updates

Journal of Digestive Diseases, EarlyView.
Slow transit constipation (STC) is a complex neuromuscular disorder driven by interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) loss and enteric neuropathy. Diagnosis relies on objective transit testing while excluding pelvic floor dysfunction. Management follows a stepwise, phenotype‐driven approach, progressing from conventional laxatives to emerging targeted ...

Pan-colonic pressurizations associated with relaxation of the anal sphincter in health and disease: a new colonic motor pattern identified using high-resolution manometry [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Only few studies have applied high-resolution manometry (HRM) to the study of colonic motility in adults and none of them have concurrently evaluated colonic and anal motor activity.
