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.

Clinical, manometric, genetic, and histologic associations in pediatric intestinal pseudo‐obstruction: A case series

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Pediatric intestinal pseudo‐obstruction (PIPO) is a severe bowel motility disorder characterized by impaired propulsion of gastrointestinal contents without mechanical obstruction. PIPO encompasses congenital and acquired disorders, including neuropathies, myopathies, and mesenchymopathies.

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.

Toxic megacolon: A rare presentation and novel treatment

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract A 14‐year‐old male presented with toxic megacolon (TM). Stool culture and rectal biopsies ruled out Clostridium difficile infection and Hirschsprung disease, respectively. Anorectal manometry ruled out anal achalasia as rectoanal inhibitory reflex elicited a normal resting pressure.

Comparison of High-resolution Anorectal Manometry With Water-perfused Anorectal Manometry

Journal of Neurogastroenterology and Motility, 2015
To date, high-resolution manometry has been used mainly in the study of esophageal motility disorders and has been shown to provide more physiological information than conventional manometry, and is easier to interpret. This study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of high-resolution anorectal manometry (HRARM) compared to water-perfused anorectal ...

When manual disimpaction isn't enough: Case report and review of neostigmine's role in refractory constipation management

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Severe refractory constipation can lead to fecal retention requiring hospitalization, nasogastric cleanout, or manual disimpaction, and in some cases, surgery. Neostigmine, a reversible acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, is commonly used for pseudo‐obstruction but rarely for refractory constipation. Here, we report a 21‐year‐old male with chronic
