Effect of a water load test on gastric myoelectrical activity and upper gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with nausea and vomiting of pregnancy

Abstract

postprandial EGG power ()1.3 dB vs. 1.6 dB, P < 0.05). Conclusions: The best symptom improvement achieved by high-frequency GES therapy in refractory gastroparesis is in diabetics (10% treatment failure rate) and postsurgical (16% failure) while the worst results are in idiopathics (35% non-responder rate). Baseline EGG abnormalities are predictors of poor symptomatic response to GES therapy and may be useful in developing a patient profile to optimize selection and expectations for GES therapy.

Relationships among Constitution, Stress, and Discomfort in the First Trimester

“…This study presents that 98.3% of the participants feel fatigue, which is similar to the findings (approximately 90%) reported by Rodriguez et al [ 33 ] and Chou et al [ 34 ]. This study shows that the incidence of nausea and vomiting is 88.09% and 65.11% respectively, which is similar to the findings (50–80%) of Koren and Maltepe [ 12 ] and of Koch et al [ 13 ].…”

“…Common symptoms of discomfort during the first trimester are nausea, vomiting [ 4 , 10 ], dizziness [ 10 ], frequent urination, fatigue [ 4 ], breast tenderness, heavy vaginal discharge, and mood swings [ 11 ]. Approximately 50–80% of pregnant women experience nausea and vomiting, which are the two most common symptoms, during the first trimester [ 12 , 13 ]. The exact mechanism underlying nausea and vomiting in pregnancy remains unknown.…”
