Abnormalities of the migrating motor complex in @entity4148 and XXXX .

@entity1 @entity3884 @entity6 @entity294 @entity344 @entity1897 @entity4148 @entity6124 @entity8032 @entity1319
@entity294 is a common symptom in long-standing @entity6 . The pathogenesis of this @entity294 remains obscure, although it appears to be related to the development of @entity4148 , which may cause several abnormalities including altered gut motility. We studied fasting @entity344 for a mean of 210 min in a group of 12 type-II @entity6 with @entity294 . All @entity1 had @entity1897 and symptoms of @entity4148 . Their motor activity was compared with that of a group of six normal volunteers. In addition, gastrointestinal transit time was assessed by the @entity3884 breath test. The presence of bacterial @entity8032 was assessed by the @entity3884 breath test and culture of jejunal secretions. The @entity6 showed grossly disordered motor activity. There was a complete absence of phase-III activity in two @entity1 . Most phase III's commenced in the distal duodenum or jejunum. The phase-III component was often of short duration at each recording site. There was increased velocity of propagation between sites. Continuous phase-II activity was noted in some @entity1 . Antral activity was absent or reduced during phase II. Gastrointestinal transit time was significantly prolonged in the @entity6 . @entity6124 was demonstrated in three @entity6 subjects. These @entity1319 are nonspecific and are unlikely to play a major role in the pathogenesis of @entity6 .
