What is the rate controlling step in the absorption of basic drugs?
It is most likely to be gastric emptying time.
What characteristics does a normal gastric emptying scan have?
The value is expressed as a percentage of emptying over a period of time. For a technetium-filled egg sandwich, normal emptying is 78 minutes for half the material to leave the stomach, with a variation of 11 minutes.
What increases gastric emptying time?
If you eat enough fresh fruit / veg and fibre it helps the stomach naturally and will empty after several hours, avoid processed foods too much alcohol and sugars, fibre helps the digestive system and keeps your body healthy and avoids constipation.
What is the exact definition for Floating Drug Delivery Systems?
Floating drug delivery system is also called as hydro dynamically balanced system (HBS). It has a bulk density which is less than the gastric contents and hence remain buoyant in the stomach for a prolonged period of time without affecting the gastric emptying rate.

Cholinergic drugs for acid reflux?
The effects of parasympathetic nervous system on the GI tract includes:Increased motility (peristalsis)More rapid gastric emptyingRelaxation of pyloric sphincterCholinergic agents used for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux includes: Bethanechol - this is a longer acting form of acetylcholine, acts as a general cholinergic.Metoclopramide* - its effects are mainly seen on upper GI motility. Increases gastric emptying and increases tone of lower esophageal sphincter.Metoclopramide* works by displaying anti-dopaminergic activity, which may not be a mechanism for decreasing emptying time of the stomach. But it appears to promote acetylcholine release or improve receptiveness of muscarinic receptors in the GI tract to acetylcholine. Metoclopramide also enhances motility of GI smooth muscle and decreases emptying time of the stomach. The side effects of metaclopramide are dopamine related CNS side effects: Extrapyramidal symptoms, anxiety, depression, drowsiness, dizziness, etc.
How do you know if your dog is emptying his bladder fully?
You really can't. If it's a male dog, chances are it's NOT fully emptying its bladder at any time, as they hold some "in reserve" to mark territory.
Is gastric band better than gastric bypass surgery?
Gastric band and gastric bypass surgeries both do the same thing: They promote rapid weight loss. However, gastric band is less invasive and requires less recovery time. On the other hand, gastric bypass surgery is has an associated greater weight loss amount, but with far greater side effects.
Gastric Bypass by the Numbers?
The current gastric bypass statistics show an increase in the overall amount of gastric bypass procedures performed with a reduction in the number of complications and hospital stays over time. Each year, at least 150,000 gastric bypass surgeries are performed in the United States. On average, patients lose 60 percent of their extra weight. The average hospital stay is down to 3.9 days from 5 days in the late 1980's. Further, the average complication rate is approximately 10 percent, with only one to five percent experiencing serious complications like blood clots, infection, or serious bleeding. All together, today's gastric bypass statistics point to an increasingly safe and common procedure used to combat obesity.
What is better, gastric bypass or the gastric bypass band?
From what I understand the gastric band has fewer complications than the gastric bypass. Recovery time is supposed to be so much shorter and it's not supposed to be so invasive. Your doctor can probably give you information on both types of surgery.
