| | MedFriendly.com: Peristalsis |
 | | Peristalsis is a series of wavelike, coordinated contractions and relaxations of a tube-like structure in the body that forces the contents of the tubes onwards. | | | It is important to note that the movement in peristalsis occurs spontaneously, unconsciously, and involuntarily. | | | The small intestine is a part of the intestine that takes in all of the nutrients (healthy substances) that the body needs. |

| | Deficient peristalsis of the heart or inability to drive the congested blood through the lungs will, however, act as a prophylaxis against pulmonary tuberculosis (it is a cure by congestion). | | | Excessive, deficient, disproportionate vascular peristalsis may long remain in the field of pathologic physiology - functional disease - allowing ample time for diagnosis and therapeutic correction before the field of pathologic anatomy - compromised structure - is reached. | | | It is during the stage of pathologic physiology of the previous immediately noted disease that medical treatment is of practical value by the therapeutic application of appropriate dietetics, fluids and methods of living. |

| | British Journal of Pharmacology - Disturbance of peristalsis in the guinea-pig isolated small intestine by ... |
| | Peristalsis in isolated segments of the guinea-pig small intestine was triggered by a rise of the intraluminal pressure and recorded via the pressure changes associated with peristalsis. | | | The induction of phasic stationary contractions is probably related to the ability of indomethacin to alter the slow wave pattern in the canine colon (Franck et al., 1999) and to evoke phasic contractions of the circular muscle in the guinea-pig small intestine (Maggi et al., 1994; Johnson et al., 1998). | | | The present finding that indomethacin and etodolac impaired peristalsis in the guinea-pig small intestine is in keeping with previous observations that NSAIDs weaken peristaltic performance in the guinea-pig (Bennett et al., 1976; Fontaine et al., 1977) and human (Bruch et al., 1978) small and large intestine. |

| | As regards locating the pain at any point of the enteron, it cannot be done, first, because the loops of intestines have no distinct order as to locality; second, the patient cannot discriminate a point of pain at any given locality, perhaps from lack of practical experience. | | | Abdominal pain belongs to the domain of the nervus vasomotorius, the sympathetic nerve, and should be interpreted according to its life and habits, in relation to its anatomy, distribution to viscera and physiology (rhythm) peristalsis. | | | The repeated abdominal pains due to painful peristalsis in inflamed ducts-biliary, ureteral, intestinal, genital-is still difficult to diagnose. |
