Effect of body posture on radionuclide measurements of gastric emptying

Abstract

The purpose of this investigation was to compare the effect of body posture on gastric emptying measurements of radiolabeled meals. Eight healthy male subjects were studied on four separate days. During each study subjects were fed a standardized meal of beef stew labeled with technetium-99m sulfur colloid, and orange juice. Measurements of solid-phase gastric emptying rates were obtained by a gamma camera. Subjects were studied in the lying, sitting, standing, or combined sitting-standing postures. The results demonstrated that the lying position significantly slowed gastric emptying compared to all other positions. Conversely, a decrease in emptying times of 51% and 35% occurred in the combined sitting-standing position compared to the lying and sitting position. These results support a marked effect of body posture on the radionuclide measurement of gastric emptying.

  • In the stomach of critically ill patients, transit time slows and pH is neutralised by the use of agents that suppress gastric acid production.

    “In the stomach, which is normally fast to empty and extremely acidic, transit time slows36 and pH is neutralised by the use of agents to suppress the production of gastric acid.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
