Drugs for Treatment of Constipation-Predominant IBS01:21

Drugs for Treatment of Constipation-Predominant IBS

309
Pharmacological therapies for IBS-C are designed to alleviate abdominal discomfort and enhance bowel function. In patients with IBS-C, fiber supplements may help soften stools and decrease straining, but may also lead to increased gas production and bloating. Osmotic laxatives like milk of magnesia are frequently used to soften stools and increase stool frequency in IBS-C patients. In addition, two drugs approved for use in severe IBS-C adult cases are linaclotide (Linzess) and lubiprostone...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease V: Surgical Management

199
Surgical interventions for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, are essential in managing symptoms and addressing complications. The selection of surgical procedures is contingent upon the specific conditions and complications that stem from these illnesses.
Here are some common surgical interventions for IBD:

Voiding Cystourethrography (VCUG) and Cystography are specialized radiographic procedures used to examine the structure and function of the bladder and urethra.Voiding Cystourethrography (VCUG)A Voiding Cystourethrogram (VCUG) is a diagnostic imaging procedure that assesses the anatomy and function of the lower urinary tract. It focuses on the bladder, bladder neck, and urethra, helping detect abnormalities such as vesicoureteral reflux (VUR)—the backward or reverse flow of urine into the...

Drugs for Treatment of Diarrhea-Predominant IBS

281
Diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) is a subtype of IBS characterized primarily by frequent, loose, or watery stools, abdominal pain, and abdominal discomfort. Therapeutic approaches to managing IBS-D include dietary changes, stress management techniques, and pharmaceutical interventions.
Two specific drugs used in the treatment are alosetron (Lotronex) and eluxadoline (Viberzi). Alosetron, a 5-HT3 antagonist, works by slowing the movement of stools in the gut, reducing bowel...

The Micturition Reflex01:26

The Micturition Reflex

974
Urination, or micturition involves the coordination of the bladder's detrusor muscle and two sphincters to ensure controlled bladder emptying.
The process begins with bladder filling, where the bladder wall stretches as urine accumulates. This stretching activates the urine storage reflex, mediated by the sacral spinal segments and the pontine storage center. Efferent sympathetic impulses stimulate the detrusor muscle to relax and the internal urethral sphincter to contract, facilitating...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Gastroenterology
  • Urology
  • Pediatric Surgery

Background:

  • Functional constipation (FC) is a common pediatric condition.
  • FC can be associated with lower urinary tract symptoms and dysfunctional elimination syndrome.
  • Bowel management programs (BMPs) are used to treat FC.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of BMP on bladder function in children with FC.
  • To determine if treating constipation improves urinary symptoms.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of children aged 3-18 with FC treated with BMP from 2014-2020.
  • Collected data included clinical characteristics, BMP details, and validated symptom scores (VSS, BCS, CCCS).
  • Analyzed data using linear mixed-effects modeling.

Main Results:

  • 241 children with FC were included.
  • BMP treatment led to significant improvements in VSS, BCS, and CCCS scores (P < 0.0001).
  • Both single and multiple BMPs demonstrated positive outcomes on symptom scores.

Conclusions:

  • Bowel management programs significantly improve bladder function in children with functional constipation.
  • BMP is a recommended treatment for lower urinary tract symptoms in pediatric patients with FC and bowel/bladder dysfunction.
