Coffee and caffeinated products have been widely consumed for many centuries. Previous adult studies have suggested that both coffee and decaffeinated beverages induce colonic motility. However, no st...
A prospective study of pediatric patients undergoing standard colonic motility testing that were able to consume caffeinated coffee, decaffeinated coffee, and caffeine tablet during colonic manometry....
Thirty-eight patients were recruited, 22 of which were excluded, 11 due to abnormal studies (no HAPC seen in response to intraluminal response to bisacodyl), and 11 due to inability to consume all stu...
Caffeine is indeed a colonic stimulant; however, other components of caffeinated and non-caffeinated beverages likely induce colonic response and require further evaluation for possible use as a colon...
Measurement of cerebrospinal fluid pressure through lumbar puncture (LP) manometry is an essential practical skill all paediatricians should possess competency in. The ability to perform manometry is ...
High-resolution manometry (HRM) is vital in evaluating patients for surgery at the gastroesophageal (GE) junction. Previously, we reported manometry alters surgery choices at the GE junction over 50% ...
We collected data on pre-operative symptoms for patients undergoing HRM studies from 2012 to 2016, i.e., Upper GI X-rays, 48-h pH studies, DeMeester scores, upper endoscopy, and biopsy reports. HRM re...
298 HRM studies were initially identified; 114 met search criteria. Overall, HRM altered the planned procedure in 50.9% of cases (n = 58), with abnormal motility in 54.4% (62/114) cases. Abnormal moti...
This study demonstrates the impact of identifying abnormal motility via the Chicago classification and factors like DCI on surgical choice at the GE junction....
While high-resolution manometry (HRM) is widely accepted as a safe procedure, no study has assessed the safety profile of HRM in clinical practice. This study aimed to determine the safety and tolerab...
We obtained HRM procedure reports, demographics, and clinical data (2005-2022) at a tertiary center using electronic chart review. Our primary outcome was HRM tolerability. Multivariable regression wa...
A total of 5,107 patients (60.3% female) were included. Of them, 5,050 patients (98.9%) tolerated HRM well and 57 patients (1.1%) did not. Age had a statistically significant effect on tolerance: thos...
HRM is safe and well-tolerated with approximately 1 in every 100 patients being unable to tolerate HRM. Intolerance was more commonly seen in children and seniors due to minor symptoms of discomfort w...
Although high-resolution manometry (HR_ARM) is commonly used to diagnose defecatory disorders, its intraindividual day-to-day reproducibility is unknown. Since these measurements entail voluntary effo...
In 22 healthy women (35 years [14] mean [SD]) and 53 constipated patients (42 years [13], 46 women), the rectal balloon expulsion time (BET), and anorectal pressures were measured with HR_ARM on 2 day...
Among constipated patients, the anal resting (mean CCC [95%CI] 0.62 [0.43-0.76]) and squeeze pressures (CCC 0.65 [0.47-0.79]), rectoanal gradient during evacuation (CCC 0.42 [0.17-0.62]), and rectal s...
While HR_ARM variables and the BET are reproducible within healthy and constipated persons, the outcome on repeat testing differed in 79% of constipated patients....
We evaluated the pathophysiology of dysphagia considered to be induced by benzodiazepine using high-resolution manometry (HRM). A 53-year-old man with Parkinson disease had had dysphagia for over 3 mo...
Anorectal manometry (ARM) is a comprehensive diagnostic tool for evaluating patients with constipation, fecal incontinence, or anorectal pain; however, it is not widely utilized for reasons that remai...
Leaders in medical and surgical gastroenterology and physical therapy with interest in anorectal disorders were surveyed regarding practice patterns and utilization of these technologies. Subsequently...
ARM identifies key pathophysiological abnormalities such as dyssynergic defecation, anal sphincter weakness, or rectal sensory dysfunction, and is a critical component of biofeedback therapy, an evide...
Overcoming these challenges with appropriate education, training, collaborative research, and evidence-based guidelines for ARM testing and biofeedback therapy could significantly enhance patient care...
Rectoperineal congenital anorectal malformations (CARMs) are diagnosed by examining the perineum, combined with electric stimulation (ES) of the anal sphincter performed under anesthesia. This procedu...
We prospectively included 66 patients younger than 24 months who presented with constipation and were suspected of CARM, idiopathic constipation, or Hirschsprung disease. The patients were assessed be...
Of the 51 patients who underwent both 3D-HRAM and ES, we observed that patients with rectoperineal CARM revealed a pressure gap along the anterior part of the anal sphincter. Based on this observation...
We consider 3D-HRAM a reliable tool for diagnosing and excluding rectoperineal CARM. Using this method in patients suspected of CARM might keep infants from undergoing unnecessary interventions requir...
Children with anorectal malformations may experience constipation and fecal incontinence following repair. The contribution of altered anorectal function to these persistent symptoms is relatively int...
The purpose of this systematic review was to synthesize the available evidence regarding post-operative colonic motility in children with anorectal malformations and evaluate the reported equipment an...
During high-resolution anorectal manometry (HR_ARM), the raw data are converted into software-derived summary variables (e.g., rectoanal gradient during evacuation) that capture only a snapshot of the...
Anorectal pressures at rest, during anal squeeze, and evacuation were measured with HR_ARM in 180 women, among whom 60 each were healthy, had DD, or fecal incontinence. A reverse engineering approach ...
Anorectal pressures summarized by the software and a reverse engineering method were highly concordant for anal resting (CCC [95% CI], 0.98 [0.97, 0.99]) and squeeze pressures (0.99 [0.99, 0.99) and t...
Anorectal pressures can be accurately determined from pressure topography images in HR_ARM reports. In future, this reverse engineering approach can be harnessed to compile large HR_ARM datasets acros...
