Pilot study of pyridostigmine in constipated patients with autonomic neuropathy
Adil E. Bharucha,Phillip A. Low,Michael Camilleri,Duane Burton,Tonette L. Gehrking,Alan R. Zinsmeister +5 more
TL;DR: PyridostIGmine improves colonic transit and symptoms in some patients with autonomic neuropathy and constipation and the motor response to neostigmine predicted the response to oral pyridOSTigmine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determinants of patient satisfaction in chronic illness
Michelle Bidaut-Russell,Sherine E. Gabriel,Christopher G. Scott,Alan R. Zinsmeister,Harvinder S. Luthra,Barbara P. Yawn +5 more
TL;DR: Both RA and DM patients were highly satisfied with their care, regardless of the specialty of the provider, and the need for additional research to further elucidate the determinants of patient satisfaction is pointed to.
Journal ArticleDOI
Factors That Predict Relief From Upper Abdominal Pain After Cholecystectomy
Johnson L. Thistle,George F. Longstreth,Yvonne Romero,Amindra S. Arora,Julie A. Simonson,Nancy N. Diehl,William S. Harmsen,Alan R. Zinsmeister +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a validated, self-completed biliary symptoms questionnaire identified features of UAP, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), to identify features that predicted sustained relief of upper abdominal pain after cholecystectomy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship of gastric emptying or accommodation with satiation, satiety, and postprandial symptoms in health.
Houssam Halawi,Michael Camilleri,Andres Acosta,Maria I. Vazquez-Roque,Ibironke Oduyebo,Duane Burton,Irene Busciglio,Alan R. Zinsmeister +7 more
TL;DR: Gastric emptying of solids is correlated to satiation (volume to fullness and maximum tolerated volume) and satiety (the calorie intake at buffet meal) and symptoms of nausea, pain, and aggregate symptom score after a fully satiating meal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Obesity does not increase effects of synthetic ghrelin on human gastric motor functions.
Filippo Cremonini,Michael Camilleri,Maria Vazquez Roque,Sanna McKinzie,Duane Burton,Kari Baxter,Alan R. Zinsmeister +6 more
TL;DR: At doses that stimulate physiologic GH plasma levels, synthetic ghrelin tended to decrease fasting gastric volumes without altering postprandial volumes or gastric emptying in a predominantly female cohort, which is not consistent with the hypothesis that higher body mass is associated with increased gastric responsiveness to gh Relin.
