Avatar n tn I don't know if it's just my large intestine or small intestine. I don't have any nausea or vomiting. The colonic pacemaker treatment sounds really promising from that article, but it doesn't seem like its being practiced anywhere. That article is from 2004 so you would think there would be at least some doctors performing it by now.
Avatar f tn s very worst is based in part on the fact that there are several sites in the stomach where the main pacemaker cells to trigger stomach contractions are found. In traditional chinese medicine, the deeper organs can be accessed by more peripheral local points on the arms, legs, and body - some of those points connect up with the stomach. So it's very worth a try. There are also chinese herbs that could be tried.
Avatar n tn You have suffered a great injustice, and I'm sorry for your experience. I do not know what the black substance was, or what the results of exposure may be. However, the skipped beats may be caused simply by confusion in the heart muscle itself. Your heart cells are all capable of contracting and causing the heart to beat. Usually, this job is segregated to specific cells that most people refer to as the "natrual pacemaker.
255722 tn?1452546541 The spread of electricity throughout the heart muscle is possible because all heart muscle cells, not just pacemaker cells, are excitable. Usually, the heart muscle cells keep time more slowly than normal pacemaker cells. This allows the pacemaker cells within the SA node to be in control of generating and pacing the heartbeat.
Avatar n tn Hi, am doing some research. please can you explain why an 89yr old with pacemaker kept her 70bpm pulse with a fever of 40 deg.C. Also what were the metabolic implications for her? Many thanks.
696415 tn?1228229959 The sinoatrial node (SA node) is a group of cells positioned on the wall of the right atrium, near the entrance of the superior vena cava. Cells in the SA node will naturally discharge at about 70-80 times per minute. Because the sinoatrial node is responsible for the rest of the heart's electrical activity, it is sometimes called the primary pacemaker, the natural pacemaker.
Avatar f tn I have had every test there is known to man done this year trying to figure out why I am so constipated. My Gynocologist did surgery to remove my intestine that was laying in my rectum but to no avail I am still constipated! My colon/rectal doctor wants to remove my colon.

Avatar n tn By the way...I noticed the ??? near the "natural pacemaker" portion of your post. Thought I'd take a minute to help you understand. The sinus atrial node is a clump of cells in your heart that put out an electrical current that causes the rest of your cells in the atrial center of your heart to contract. The electrical current continues into the ventricular node and causes the bottom of the heart to contract immediately after that.
Avatar m tn Yes, the condition can infect the heart's natural pacemaker. The heart's "natural" pacemaker is called the sinoatrial (SA) node or sinus node. It's a small mass of specialized cells in the top of the heart's right atrium (upper chamber). It makes the electrical impulses that cause your heart to beat.
Avatar n tn If the cells are dead, a cath would not be of any help. If the cells are hibernating due to low blood flow to the area, medication can increase the blood flow to the area....angina with stress and rest normal blood flow. Your symptoms, if any, would be the issue to correct. If you are having chest pain (angina) with exertion and rest relieves the chest pain that would be stable angina and medication can be effective.

Avatar f tn The B12 we take orally is absorbed by the mucosa under the tongue and by small intestine. From the small intestine, it is bound to intrinsic factor (IF) and then absorbed into the blood. Absence of IF can cause no absorption of B12 from intestine. However by injection it reaches directly into the blood stream and absorbed by the cells. Absence of IF is also known as pernicious anemia. Is your hemoglobin and red blood cell count low?
Avatar f tn Hyperplastic means an increase in the number of cells in an area of tissue. I believe the larger majority of glandular cells in the antrum are mucus-secreting cells, but you'd have to check with your doc about that. If the results are mucus-secreting cells, it sounds like your stomach is trying to protect itself from too much acid production. With non-specific gastritis, the doc may suggest a course of acid-suppression meds and a change to a GERD-friendly diet.
Avatar f tn These were stem cells made from my OWN STEM CELLS not embryonic. So, no chance of rejection, no extra pills to take. There is over an 80% chance of improvement. My EF was between 12 and 15% before new stem cells. Have not had another EF test yet. I am diabetic(insulin dependent.) I do have a defibrillator and pacemaker. Would be only too happy to share my experiences - they will be on-going!! It is a shame one has to go out of the country to have this procedure done.
1744581 tn?1311302411 I'm a 34 yr old female & I have a pacemaker for congenital complete heart block. I had it replaced for the first time 5 weeks ago. A recent echo showed severe hypokinesis of the apical wall. Ejection fraction is 50%. My dr said this could be due to wear my lead is at. I returned to work a 2 weeks ago after being off for a month after my surgery. I'm a prep cook & my job is pretty easy. I'm on my feet all day but I've been doing the same work for years.
1400314 tn?1280731525 d like to know what got the ventricles going again. My understanding is that the pacemaker cells in the Ventricles can take over in the event it doesn't receive a signal to beat. this is called an "escape beat". On you holter they should be able to tell if the ventricles fired an escape beat or if the next beat was something called "normal sinus rhythm" or NSR. usually the ventricles will fire an escape beat within 3-4 seconds of not getting NSR.
1704915 tn?1357601254 I have a very long, verry loopy slow transit colon. My pacemaker cells in my right side of my colon are dead or dieing off and it is causing me to back up all the way to my small intestine. IBS and SIBO are no longer even diagnosed for me as the symptoms of those happen in patients who have slow transit etc. I was on Resolor for one month and that did not work. I am now setting up my surgery!
Avatar f tn The gastroenterologist started his treatment with the antibiotics with the diagnose of swelling on the intestine. But it did not help my brother. And just yesterday he underwent the stool test and the report showed the pus cells in his stool. Now tomorrow doctor will do more check up through endoscopy/colonoscopy to find the infection. In this mean time, my brother has lost lots of weight and feels lots of weakness every time. My questions are: 1) What would have caused the Pus Cells in Stool?
Avatar f tn Basically, the cells in your lower Esophagus are different than the cells in the upper intestine. However, when the lower esophagus is exposed to excess acid, the cell structure can change to mimic the cells in the upper intestine. When this occurs, a diagnosis of BE is made. The scope and length of the cell changes determines the degree of BE. The good news is that less than 2% of BE cells ever become cancerous.
Avatar n tn There can be different reasons, but it generally finds a different way around, through normal heart cells. However, this can cause a delay, meaning the right chamber is contracting slower or is delayed compared to the left. This is probably what they are referring to with regards to borderline. Causes could be genetic history, certain infection types, recent heart attack, heart disease. If the cells are damaged, then there is always the option of a pacemaker.
Avatar n tn It sounds like she may have an intestial blockage, which could be caused by a twisted or pinched intestine, or actual cancer cells in the intestines. Possibly they can allieviate the blockage without surgery. I had a blockage last fall caused by an adhesion from the original surgery twisting my lower intestine. I hope she gets better soon. Let us know.
Avatar n tn In December of 2016, I started having mouth ulcers. In March of 2017, I had a perforated intestine which turned into sepsis. After getting out of the hospital, I've had neutrophils that get low for a while (0.1 or 0.2) and I have to be hospitalized on IV antibiotics. hospitalization happens every few months My colonoscopy showed that I had ulcers in the lower colon, but the markers did not quite fit Crohn's ulcers. I had a bone marrow biopsy that came back normal. No JAK2 mutation.
Avatar n tn hypokinesis can also be the result of stunned cells. Stunned heart cells affected by a heart attack can be revitalized if blood/oxygen is quickly provided within a few hours to the area affected by an acute heart attack. Akinesis is different from hypokinesis in that the heart cells affected are necrotic (dead). Stem cell therapy may be helpful for that condition. Five years ago I had hypokinesis of the left ventricle wall and a low EF.
Avatar f tn Digested food normally enters those blood vessels using two routes. It either passes through the cells lining the intestine or through membranes in between the cells. Over 70% of food absorption occurs through the membranes. However, if the membrane barrier is damaged, whole food particles can enter the bloodstream. And this is bad — large particles of food trigger the immune reactions we refer to as “food allergies.
Avatar n tn my father had a heart attack in 1984, a pacemaker four years ago andnow is diagnosed with heart failure, is this normal?
Avatar f tn heart cells are probably trying to take up for the loss. However, not being the natural pacemaker center, these cells fire at inappropriate times causing what you are feeling as palps. As for what to do, I can only tell you what I would do. I would get the thing fixed or replaced ASAP.
Avatar n tn Hello, my father (early 60s) is on an ICD. His cardiologist wants to make the heart completely dependent upon the pacemaker, as the medicines my father is on aren't working. Unfortunately, I was unable to sit in on the meeting between my father and the cardiologist. My question to you is this - do you know the name of the procedure that would fully sever the nerves which incite the heart to beat?
Avatar f tn My daughter was diagnosed with a variety of heart problem when she was two months old. She currently has a pacemaker which she only uses when her heart rate goes above 115 bpm. When she has surgery 7 years ago the surgeon lost a surgical needle in the center (av node) area of her heart. Could the needle be the reason she is having heart block? She is ten now.
