Pathophysiology of Vomiting01:22

Pathophysiology of Vomiting

3.4K
Vomiting is a complex physiological response to expel harmful or irritating substances from the body. It's a defensive mechanism triggered by stimuli like poisons, microbial toxins, cytotoxic drugs, and mechanical abdominal distension. The process is centrally coordinated by the vomiting (or emetic) center located in the medulla of the brainstem. This area, rich in muscarinic M1, histamine H1, neurokinin 1 (NK1), and serotonin 5-HT3 receptors, coordinates the act of vomiting through...

Bulimia Nervosa01:30

Bulimia Nervosa

840
Bulimia nervosa is a complex and severe eating disorder characterized by a cyclical pattern of binge-and-purge eating pattern. It generally involves an episode of binge eating, followed by compensatory behaviors such as vomiting, excessive exercise, laxative use, or fasting, to prevent weight gain. Despite often maintaining a normal weight, individuals with bulimia are intensely preoccupied with their body image and harbor an overwhelming fear of gaining weight. This can contribute to the...

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: 5-HT3 Receptor Antagonists01:27

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: 5-HT3 Receptor Antagonists

726
5-HT3 receptor antagonists, such as dolasetron, granisetron (Kytril), ondansetron (Zofran), and palonosetron (Axoli), are crucial in managing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) and postoperative nausea. These drugs selectively block 5-HT3 receptors in the visceral vagal and spinal afferent nerves, chemoreceptor trigger zone, and the vomiting center. They have a rapid onset of action and can be given as a single dose before chemotherapy. Ondansetron and granisetron, in particular,...

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: Dopamine Receptor Antagonists01:29

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: Dopamine Receptor Antagonists

945
Dopamine receptor antagonists, also known as antipsychotic agents, are critical in managing chemotherapy-induced vomiting. These antiemetic agents block dopamine receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ), inhibiting signal transmission to the vomiting center. Antipsychotic agents encompass phenothiazines (PTZ), butyrophenones, benzamides, and thienobenzodiazepines (Zyprexa), which are utilized for their antiemetic and sedative properties.
Phenothiazines, such as prochlorperazine...

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: Neurokinin-1 Receptor Antagonists01:28

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: Neurokinin-1 Receptor Antagonists

668
Neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptors are distributed across the GI tract, vagal afferents, and key CNS regions including the central vomiting center and chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) Chemotherapy agents stimulate enterochromaffin cells in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract to release large amounts of substance P (SP). SP is a neuropeptide released by specific sensory nerves in response to many different stressors, including those in the GI mucosa affected by chemotherapy.  SP binds and activates...

Equilibrium and Balance01:15

Equilibrium and Balance

6.9K
The inner ear assumes dual functionalities of auditory perception and equilibrium maintenance. The vestibule is the organ responsible for balance. This organ contains mechanoreceptors, specifically hair cells, endowed with stereocilia, which aid in deciphering information regarding the position and motion of our heads. Two intrinsic components, the utricle and saccule, help perceive head position, while the semicircular canals track head movement. Neurological messages initiated in the...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Gastroenterology
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) is a frequently misdiagnosed condition impacting up to 1.9% of children.
  • CVS attacks occur with predictable frequency, significantly affecting a child's quality of life and school attendance.
  • The pathophysiology remains unclear, but a shared origin with migraine is recognized, suggesting similar treatment approaches.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the challenges in diagnosing CVS in pediatric patients.
  • To emphasize the connection between CVS and migraine headaches.
  • To underscore the importance of appropriate management for improving patient outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on CVS and its association with migraine.
  • Analysis of diagnostic criteria and differential diagnoses for CVS.
  • Discussion of current and potential treatment strategies.

Main Results:

  • CVS is often underdiagnosed, affecting a significant pediatric population.
  • A strong link exists between CVS and migraine, influencing treatment strategies.
  • Distinguishing CVS from other conditions requires careful clinical evaluation.

Conclusions:

  • CVS requires greater recognition and accurate diagnosis in pediatric care.
  • Management strategies informed by migraine treatment can improve quality of life and school attendance.
  • Further research into CVS pathophysiology is warranted.
