Deglutition01:25

Deglutition

7.1K
Swallowing, otherwise known as deglutition, facilitates the transport of food from the mouth to the stomach. It is a multifaceted process that involves both the tongue and the muscles of the throat and esophagus. Saliva and mucus aid in this process, which takes approximately 4 to 8 seconds for semi-solid or solid food and around 1 second for liquids or very soft food.
Swallowing can be divided into three stages: the voluntary phase, the pharyngeal phase, and the esophageal phase. Although the...

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease I: Meaning and Pathophysiology

2.0K
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) involves the recurrent backflow of the stomach or duodenal contents into the esophagus, leading to troublesome symptoms and potential esophageal mucosal damage. Although GERD is often referred to as a disease, it is more accurately described as a syndrome, as it encompasses a range of symptoms and complications rather than a singular pathological entity, impacting a large number of individuals as the most prevalent upper gastrointestinal problem. Roughly...

Cognitive Dissonance

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Autonomic Nervous System

14.7K
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is a critical component of the peripheral nervous system, primarily responsible for regulating involuntary bodily functions and maintaining homeostasis. It functions in tandem with the central nervous system (CNS) to seamlessly coordinate various physiological processes without the need for conscious control.
The ANS comprises two main divisions: the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions. These divisions function antagonistically to maintain a dynamic...

Clamper Circuit01:14

Clamper Circuit

1.1K
A clamper circuit, also known as a DC restorer, represents a specialized variant of the rectifier circuit, notable for its method of taking the output across the diode rather than the capacitor. This configuration lends to several distinctive applications, particularly in handling square wave inputs.
Within this circuit, the diode's orientation prompts the capacitor to charge up to the level of the most negative peak of the input signal. Upon reaching this state, the diode ceases to...

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Nursing
  • Gastroenterology
  • Mind-Body Medicine

Background:

  • Postoperative paralytic ileus is a common complication following abdominal surgery, causing patient discomfort and increasing healthcare costs.
  • Nurses observed a correlation between patients watching cooking shows and bowel function, prompting an investigation into a potential mind-body connection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the potential link between watching televised cooking shows and the return of bowel function in postoperative patients.
  • To explore if viewing cooking shows influences the recovery of appetite and bowel sounds after abdominal surgery.

Main Methods:

  • An observational study was conducted with 94 patients undergoing abdominal surgery.
  • Data collected included hours spent watching cooking shows, patient demographics, surgical details, and time to first postoperative flatus.

Main Results:

  • Patients undergoing non-bariatric general surgery who watched cooking shows were significantly more likely to regain appetite and bowel sounds within 24 hours post-surgery.
  • This suggests a positive association between viewing cooking shows and accelerated gastrointestinal recovery.

Conclusions:

  • Encouraging non-bariatric abdominal surgery patients to watch cooking shows may promote earlier return of bowel function.
  • This non-invasive intervention could potentially alleviate patient discomfort and reduce associated medical costs.
