BACKGROUND: Gastrointestinal (GI) tract symptoms are common among patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) seen in tertiary care centers. The degree to which this reflects referral bias is unclear. OBJECTIVES: To determine whether GI tract symptoms are more prevalent in unselected patients with DM from the general community compared with their age- and sex-matched counterparts without DM and to assess the association of GI tract symptoms in persons with DM with psychosomatic symptoms, medication use, and symptoms of autonomic neuropathy. METHODS: In this population-based, cross-sectional study, Olmsted County, Minnesota, residents with type 1 DM, a random sample of residents with type 2 DM, and 2 age- and sex-stratified random samples of nondiabetic residents (total of 1262 person for the 4 groups) were mailed a previously validated symptom questionnaire. RESULTS: Heartburn was less common in residents with type 1 DM vs controls (12% vs 23%; P<.05). No significant difference in prevalence was detected (residents with type 1 DM vs controls; residents with type 2 DM vs controls) for nausea or vomiting (12% vs 11%; 6% vs 6%), dyspepsia (19% vs 21%; 13% vs 17%), or constipation (17% vs 14%; 10% vs 12%). However, constipation and/or laxative use was slightly more common in residents with type 1 DM (27% vs 19%; P<.15), particularly in men, and was associated with the intake of calcium channel blockers. CONCLUSIONS: In the community, the prevalence of most GI tract symptoms is similar in persons with or without DM, except for a lower prevalence of heartburn and an increased prevalence of constipation or laxative use in residents with type 1 DM, especially in men. This difference is associated with calcium channel blocker use rather than symptoms of autonomic neuropathy. In community-based practices, physicians should not immediately assume that GI tract symptoms in patients with DM represent a complication of DM.

[Treatment of constipation and different laxative requirements in palliative medicine]
[Article in German]

The significance of constipation with its variety of possible complications is often underestimated in the context of the tumour patient's complaints although difficulties in stool management are more common in patients with advanced cancer than in those with other terminal diseases. Without treatment constipated patients will suffer from nausea and emesesis and will possibly develop small bowel paralysis. About half of all patients admitted to specialist palliative care units report constipation, but about 75% of the patients will require laxatives. Unlike for pain, no generally accepted and widely disseminated management guidelines are available. Effective prophylaxis and cause-based therapy do improve the alimentary condition and can help to prevent the transition to ileus situations. Effective symptom management presupposes exact knowledge of the pharmacokinetics.

One-stage Duhamel-Martin procedure for Hirschsprung's disease: a 5-year follow-up study.
van der Zee DC, Bax KN.
Department of Pediatric Surgery, Wilhelmina Children's Hospital, University Medical Centre, Utrecht, The Netherlands.
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: With the introduction of the Endo-GIA stapling device the 1-stage Duhamel-Martin procedure became feasible for neonates and infants. Early results were promising. So far there were no meaningful data on the long-term functional results. This study shows the 5-year follow-up results after 1-stage Duhamel-Martin procedure for Hirschsprung's disease in neonates and infants. The results are compared with a historical group of patients from the same institution undergoing a 3-stage procedure. METHODS: Between September 1991 and December 1993 Hirschsprung's disease was diagnosed in 29 children. In 22 of them the disease was found within the first 2 months of life. In 19 children aganglionosis was restricted to the rectosigmoid colon. In 10 the innervation disturbance extended further, twice with involvement of the distal ileum. Initial treatment consisted of daily rectal irrigation. Postoperative follow-up on a regular out-clinic basis was 6 years (range, 5 to 7 years). Patients were scored for fecal continence, soiling, the use of laxatives, cannulae or rectal irrigation, enterocolitis, gain of body weight, and length. RESULTS: There were no intraoperative complications. The median postoperative stay was 7.7 days. Seven children encountered complications for which admission was necessary. Ultimately, 15 children have normal spontaneous defecation. Eight children display irregular soiling, without using laxatives. At 5-year follow-up 6 children are still on some sort of laxative or rectal irrigation. Mean growth and body weight is along the P50 and P50 to 90, respectively. These functional results are no different from those in the patients after 3-stage Duhamel-Martin procedure. CONCLUSIONS: There appears to be no difference in functional outcome after 1- or multiple-stage Duhamel-Martin procedure for Hirschsprung's disease after 5 to 7 years. The majority of children seem to fare well with restrictive need of laxatives. The advantage of a 1-stage procedure is the prevention of stoma-related complications, 1 or 2 additional operations, and extra scar formation.
