INTRODUCTION: Autonomic neuropathy is thought to play a role in the pathogenesis of slow-transit constipation, but other gastrointestinal organs may also be involved, even if they are symptom-free. We investigated whether motility in gastrointestinal organs other than the colon was impaired in patients with slow-transit constipation and whether the autonomic nervous system was involved. METHODS: Twenty-one consecutive patients (18 females; median age, 46 years) with severe chronic constipation (< or = 2 defecations/week and delayed colonic transit time) were studied. Autonomic neuropathy function was tested with esophageal manometry, gastric and gallbladder emptying (fasting and postprandial motility) by ultrasonography, orocecal transit time (H2-breath test), colonic transit time (radiopaque markers), and anorectal volumetric manometry. The integrity of the autonomic nervous system was assessed by a quantitative sweat-spot test for preganglionic and postganglionic fibers, tilt-table test, and Valsalva electrocardiogram R-R ratio. RESULTS: Esophageal manometry showed gastroesophageal reflux or absence of peristalsis in five of the seven patients examined. Gallbladder dysmotility (i.e., increased fasting, postprandial residual volume, or both) was observed in 6 of 14 (43 percent) patients. Gastric emptying was decreased in 13 of 17 (76 percent) patients. Orocecal transit time was delayed in 18 of 20 (90 percent) patients; median transit time was 160 (range, 90-200) minutes. Median colonic transit time was 97 (range, 64-140) hours. Anorectal function showed abnormal rectoanal inhibitory reflex and decreased rectal sensitivity in 11 of 19 (58 percent) patients. Signs of autonomic neuropathy of the sympathetic cholinergic system were found in 14 of 18 (78 percent) patients. Only one of nine patients had vagal abnormalities detected with the Valsalva test and four of five patients with a history of orthostatic hypotension had a positive tilt-table test. CONCLUSIONS: Slow-transit constipation may be associated with impaired function of other gastrointestinal organs. More than 70 percent of patients with slow-transit constipation present some degree of autonomic neuropathy. Severe constipation may be the main complaint in patients with a systemic disease involving several organs and possibly involving the autonomic nervous system. This should be considered in the management of such cases.

The childhood prevalences of constipation and encopresis are 0.3-8% and 1-3% respectively. Following a recent stricter definition and classification, constipation and solitary encopresis are now recognised to be two separate entities. Constipation is characterised by infrequent defecation, often in combination with involuntary loss of faeces. Solitary encopresis most often occurs once a day after school hours. When there is no defecation, the frequency of encopresis increases, the abdominal pain becomes more severe and the appetite becomes less, until a large quantity of faeces is produced (often once per week). The physiology of the defecation and continence mechanism is complex and has only been unravelled in part. The multiple physiological mechanisms involved have a complementary and compensatory effect on each other. This makes it difficult to determine the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of these functional disorders.

A detailed medical history in combination with a thorough physical examination, including rectal examination, form the cornerstone in the diagnostic work-up for children with functional defecation disorders. Additional investigations are often not informative and have only minor diagnostic or therapeutic implications. Medical therapy in children with functional constipation and solitary encopresis is primarily based on clinical experience. In both patient groups, the role of education, the use of diary cards and toilet training is important. In some patients behaviour interventions are important. Oral laxatives are the basis of treatment of children with functional constipation, whereas they are contra-indicated in children with solitary encopresis. In both groups, biofeedback training appears to be of little additional benefit. Long-term follow-up of children with functional defecation disorders shows that complaints continue far beyond puberty in many children.

Natural Herbal Supplement: Hair Million
Hair Loss, or alopecia is a concern
for increasing number of folks in aging society. Loss of hair is a visible problem, and affects the appearance and changes identity of a person.
The phenomenon of hair thinning and hair loss is most commonly associated with natural aging, although there are many other causes of hair loss, which include inherited or genetic conditions, illnesses, malnutrition, stress, hormonal problems, chemotherapy, and use of some drugs.
Hair growth is a sophisticated biological process, which has not yet been completely understood. A multitude of therapeutic measures, including drugs, surgery, and suppelements have been made available, and used. However, due to the heterogeneity in the underlying cause, there is no perfect cure for all hair loss cases. Most of chemical drugs and hair transplantation surgeries are not free from varying degrees of undesirable side effects on health.
Hair Million is an alternative solution to hair loss problems. Anecdotally, it shows prositive results and improvement for age-related hair thinning and hair loss for a fraction of people who take it. We do not know the mechanisms of action as to how Hair Million works to help stop hair loss, and promote hair growth. We only know by anecdotal observations. There has been no clinical trials nor placebo controlled statistical analysis on the efficacy of Hair Million on hair loss and hair growth. However, there are two merits in this hair restoration herbal formula:
Firstly, Hair Million is rather inexpensive, and secondly, it is made of well known herbs that are safe when consumed in regular quantities.
