Tu1164 HYGIEACARE PREP FOR COLONOSCOPY CONSISTENTLY PROVIDES 97% ADEQUACY, AND IS AGNOSTIC TO PREDICTORS OF POOR ORAL BOWEL PREP
The quality of bowel preparation (BP) before colonoscopy plays a pivotal role in the safety, efficacy and quality of the outcome of colonoscopy. Inadequate BP is evident in more than 25% of all colonoscopies. High-quality BP is critical for detection of precancerous lesions.. Inadequate BP is correlated with patient-specific factors including age, male gender, medications, comorbidities such as chronic constipation, diabetes, gastrointestinal surgery, cirrhosis, stroke, and irritable bowel disease (IBD).

Potassium binders for chronic hyperkalaemia in people with chronic kidney disease.
CONCLUSIONS: Evidence supporting clinical decision-making for different potassium binders to treat chronic hyperkalaemia in adults with CKD is of low certainty; no studies were identified in children. Available studies have not been designed to measure treatment effects on clinical outcomes such as cardiac arrhythmias or major GI symptoms. This review suggests the need for a large, adequately powered study of potassium binders versus placebo that assesses clinical outcomes of relevance to patients, clinicians and policy-makers. This data could be used to assess cost-effectiveness, given the lack of definitive studies and t...

Daily intermittent fasting in mice enhances morphine-induced antinociception while mitigating reward, tolerance, and constipation
The opioid epidemic has plagued the United States with high levels of abuse and poor quality of life for chronic pain patients requiring continuous use of opioids. New drug discovery efforts have been implemented to mitigate this epidemic; however, new medications are still limited by low efficacy and/or high side effect and abuse potential. Intermittent fasting (IF) has recently been shown to improve a variety of pathological states, including stroke and neuroinflammation. Numerous animal and human studies have shown the benefits of IF in these disease states, but not in pain and opioid treatment. We thus subjected male a...

Pharmacist ’s knowledge regarding the management of overactive bladder in elderly women
Anticholinergic drugs used to treat overactive bladder (OAB), have common side effects, including constipation, dry eyes and dry mouth. They can also cause central nervous system effects such as confusion and reduction in cognitive function [1]. Polypharmacy and an increase in blood brain barrier permeability increase these effects [2] which, are more likely in the elderly [3] as aging, as well as trauma, multiple sclerosis, hypertension, stroke and diabetes [4], leads to increased blood brain barrier permeability.

Gastrointestinal motility disorders in neurologic disease
The extrinsic and autonomic nervous system intricately controls the major functions of the gastrointestinal tract through the enteric nervous system; these include motor, secretory, sensory, storage, and excretory functions. Disorders of the nervous system affecting gastrointestinal tract function manifest primarily as abnormalities in motor (rather than secretory) functions. Common gastrointestinal symptoms in neurologic disorders include sialorrhea, dysphagia, gastroparesis, intestinal pseudo-obstruction, constipation, diarrhea, and fecal incontinence. Diseases of the entire neural axis ranging from the cerebral hemisphe...

Neurological Complications of the COVID-19 Pandemic: What Have We Got So Far?
Adv Exp Med Biol. 2021;1321:21-31. doi: 10.1007/978-3-030-59261-5_2.ABSTRACTThe recently emerged coronavirus named severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the causal agent of COVID-19, is the newest threat to human health. It has already infected more than 54.5 million people worldwide, currently leading to more than 1.3 million deaths. Although it causes a mild flu-like disease in most patients, lethality may increase to more than 20% in elderly subjects, especially in those with comorbidities, like hypertension, diabetes, or lung and cardiac disease, and the mechanisms are still elusive. Common symp...

The Influence of Age on Central Effects of Methylnaltrexone in Patients with Opioid-Induced Constipation
ConclusionsMethylnaltrexone use did not adversely affect pain control, opioid withdrawal effects, or AEs while providing effective RFL, regardless of age. These results suggest that age does not appear to influence the safety and efficacy of methylnaltrexone for OIC. Further research is needed to assess the impact of other factors that alter BBB permeability, such as dementia, stroke, or drug interactions, on the safety and efficacy of methylnaltrexone.Clinical Trial Registration NumbersStudy 302, NCT00402038; study 3200K1-4000, NCT00672477; study 3200K1-3356, NCT00529087; study 3201, NCT01186770.

Viruses, Vol. 13, Pages 700: Long-COVID and Post-COVID Health Complications: An Up-to-Date Review on Clinical Conditions and Their Possible Molecular Mechanisms
id J Alzahrani Aristóteles Góes-Neto Vasco Azevedo Preetam Ghosh Debmalya Barh The COVID-19 pandemic has infected millions worldwide, leaving a global burden for long-term care of COVID-19 survivors. It is thus imperative to study post-COVID (i.e., short-term) and long-COVID (i.e., long-term) effects, specifically as local and systemic pathophysiological outcomes of other coronavirus-related diseases (such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS)) were well-cataloged. We conducted a comprehensive review of adverse post-COVID health outcomes and potential long-COV...
