Abstract

Disturbed gastric meal accommodation may cause abdominal symptoms in patients with functional dyspepsia and diabetes mellitus who have poor vagal control of gastric motility. In the present study we aimed to explore the relation between gastric meal accommodation and vagal tone in diabetic patients with vagal neuropathy. Twenty patients with diabetes (DM) (insulin-dependent type; 10 men and 10 women, aged 35.3 +/- 7.6 years) and 20 healthy controls (HC) (10 men and 10 women; aged 34.7 +/- 10.7 years) were studied. Proximal gastric size was assessed with ultrasound in a sagittal area and a frontal diameter. Distal gastric (antrum) size was assessed in a sagittal area. Vagal tone was assessed non-invasively by recording of respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) in beats per minute. Proximal sagittal area was significantly (P = 0.03) smaller in DM (18.5 +/- 5.5 cm2) than in HC (22.2 +/- 4.6 cm2). Proximal frontal diameter did not differ significantly (P = 0.60) between DM and HC (5.9 +/- 1.1 cm versus 5.7 +/- 0.8 cm). Antral area, too, did not differ significantly (P = 0.59) between DM and HC (14.5 +/- 4.1 cm2 versus 13.6 +/- 5.8 cm2). Proximal/distal meal distribution ratio, defined as proximal sagittal area/distal sagittal area, was...Continue Reading

Patients with type I diabetes lack insulin-producing beta cells due to the loss of immunological tolerance and autoimmune disease. Discover the latest research on targeting tolerance to prevent diabetes.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
