OBJECTIVE Some patients with diabetic gastroparesis exhibit cyclical symptoms. The purpose of this work was to study the subset of patients with cyclic vomiting characteristics, described as a cyclic vomiting pattern, in a population of patients with symptoms of diabetic

Six small-breed, middle-age dogs with a history of chronic intermittent vomiting had benign pyloric lesions causing gastric outlet obstruction. Marked similarities were found in clinical signs, pathologic changes, and treatment results. The condition was classified as a syndrome and was named

OBJECTIVE Prolapse gastropathy is a clinical syndrome involving the invagination of a part of the gastric mucosa into the lower esophagus resulting in well demarcated hemorrhagic mucosa and sometimes bleeding. The importance of this syndrome is that it has been reported as a cause of hematemesis. As

Two patients were treated with gastroenterostomy and vagotomy for intractable vomiting due to diabetic gastropathy. A morphometric examination of nerve fibres and capillaries in their resected abdominal vagi was performed and the results were compared with findings from two diabetic and two

Gastropathy on the basis of mesenteric arterial ischemia can be masked in presentation as the typically more benign entities of gastritis, gastric ulceration, or gastric atony. Gastritis and ulceration are commonly associated with stress, hyperacidity, Helicobacter pylori infection, or medication

Despite the lack of evidence of the ability to suppress gastric acid secretion in dogs, ranitidine (RT) is often used to control clinical signs in dogs with acute vomiting even if the way it happens it is still largely unknown. The aim of this study was thus to evaluate the therapeutic effect of

A 6-year-old female dog had a 3-day history of postprandial vomiting of undigested food. Plain and contrast radiography revealed a large mass on the greater curvature of the stomach. On exploratory gastrotomy, the mass was found to consist of hypertrophic rugae resembling cerebral gyri and sulci.

BACKGROUND The treatments available for diabetic gastropathy are frequently ineffective. Clinical observations suggest that clonidine, an a-2 adrenergic agonist, may improve diabetic gastropathy symptoms. OBJECTIVE To establish whether a single oral dose of clonidine alters the gastric emptying of a

The nausea and vomiting that can complicate advanced diabetes is often attributed to impaired gastric motility. Not all patients with diabetic gastropathy show marked abnormality on gastric emptying studies, however. The mechanism remains uncertain, although cases complicated by a bezoar may respond

Ten male and 4 female dogs with chronic hypertrophic pyloric gastropathy were seen at the Sydney Veterinary Teaching Hospital in the period 1982-88. The most commonly affected breeds were the Shihtzu and Maltese. The mean age was 8.2 yr and the mean body weight 6.5 kg. The most common clinical signs

Menetrier's disease (hypertrophic gastropathy) in patients under the age of 20 years is rare. A case is described and the features of the condition found in 11 young patients are discussed. The patients, when seen, are usually in acute abdominal pain and vomiting or edema due to hypoproteinemia is

METHODS A 20 month old girl was admitted for intractable vomiting over several days, with no other symptoms. Family and personal history were not contributive. Clinical and neurological examination, and routine blood tests and investigations (plain abdominal x ray, upper gastrointestinal tract

Protein-losing gastropathy is an uncommon disease of uncertain etiology, known also as Menetrier's disease. In medical literature only 50 pediatric cases have been described. These childhood forms, in contrast to classic adult Menetrier's disease, have a typical benign and transient course, and

Diabetic gastropathy is a term that encompasses a number of neuromuscular dysfunctions of the stomach, including abnormalities of gastric contractility, tone, and myoelectrical activity in patients with diabetes. These abnormalities range from tachygastrias to antral hypomotility and frank
