Article Synopsis
- The study examined gastric emptying (GE) and small intestinal (SI) transit rates in 22 morbidly obese subjects compared to 10 lean individuals using scintigraphy.
- It found that GE and caecal arrival time (CAT) were significantly longer in morbidly obese patients, which correlated with lower increases in certain hormones and glucose levels after eating.
- The results indicate that slower GE and SI transit in morbidly obese individuals is linked to reduced glucose absorption and altered hormone responses, suggesting potential implications for managing obesity and glycemic control.
Colonoscopy with portal inhaled methoxyflurane (Penthrox) is highly feasible with low sedation risk and allows earlier discharge. It is unclear if subjects can return to highly skilled psychomotor skill task shortly after Penthrox assisted colonoscopy. We evaluated the psychomotor and cognitive effects of 15-minute inhalation of Penthrox in adults.
