Twenty-five patients with functional dyspepsia and 11 healthy controls matched for age and sex were examined. The patients were divided into two groups: patients with dysmotility-like symptoms and those with ulcer-like symptoms. In a dual-tracer gastric emptying study, dysmotility-like and ulcer-like symptoms could not be distinguished from each other on the basis of gastric emptying times. The intragastric distribution and the solid lag time in dysmotility-like dyspepsia differed significantly from those of the controls.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007205 Indium Radioisotopes Unstable isotopes of indium that decay or disintegrate emitting radiation. In atoms with atomic weights 106-112, 113m, 114, and 116-124 are radioactive indium isotopes. Radioisotopes, Indium
D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.
