pain with defecating is more consistent with what diagnosis?

fewer than […] bowel movements per week is criteria for functional constipation

A

40
Q

pain during defecation

A

IBS

41
Q

for constipation to be attributed to opioid use, what criteria must be met

A

new or worsening constipation after initiating, changing or increasing opiod use

42
Q

what is the mechanism of OIC?

A

hypolarization by activating K+ channels
causes decreased release of neurotransmitters involved in peristalsis

43
Q

opioids cause hyperpolarization via activation of […] channels

A

potassium

44
Q

adenylate cyclase is […] with opioid use

increased or decreased

A

decreased

45
Q

opioid use […] Ca channels

inhibits or upregulates

A

inhibits

46
Q

opioid inhibition of VIP and ACh results in

A

less intestinal secretions

47
Q

slow intestinal transit time allowing for greater absorption of water

A

opioids

48
Q

activation of CFTR results in […] secretions

increased or decreased

A

increased

49
Q

opioids can diminish the perception of sensation for urgency for defecation by

A

increasing the threshold for pain

50
Q

opioids increase the threshold for pain sensation resulting in the decreased sensation for the

A

urgency to defecate

51
Q

why do bulk forming laxatives + opioids cause abdominal distension?

A

opioids decrease perstalsis what cause a much lower transit time giving the bulk forming laxative more time to accumulate and distend the intestine

52
Q

does not develop tolerance to opioids

A

GI tract

53
Q

potential contributors to the development of IBS

4

A
  • altered intestinal mobility
  • altered microbiota
  • disturbance of brain/gut function
  • immune dysfunction
54
Q

pathophysiologic changes causing constipation in the aging bowel

3

A
  • depletion of interstitial cells of Cajal
  • increased deposit of collagen in ascending colon
  • slow transit constipation
