Lifestyle Habits Associated with Poor Defecation Habit among Pupils in Japan
Pediatric gastroenterology hepatology & nutrition, 2020Co-Authors: Jun KohyamaAbstract:Purpose Not enough attention has been paid to Defecation Habits in Japan. This study aimed to emphasize the importance of Defecation Habits on health and function in Japanese pupils. Methods Using multiple regression analysis, 2,722 questionnaires obtained from pupils in grades 5 to 12 were analyzed to determine lifestyle Habits associated with Defecation frequency. Results Significant regression formulae for Defecation scores were obtained for all school types: elementary school (ES) (adjusted R2=0.08, p

Lifestyle Habits Associated with Poor Defecation Habit among Pupils in Japan.
Pediatric gastroenterology hepatology & nutrition, 2020Co-Authors: Jun KohyamaAbstract:Not enough attention has been paid to Defecation Habits in Japan. This study aimed to emphasize the importance of Defecation Habits on health and function in Japanese pupils. Using multiple regression analysis, 2,722 questionnaires obtained from pupils in grades 5 to 12 were analyzed to determine lifestyle Habits associated with Defecation frequency. Significant regression formulae for Defecation scores were obtained for all school types: elementary school (ES) (adjusted R2=0.08, p<0.001), junior high school (JHS) (0.09, p<0.001), and senior high school (SHS) (0.15, p<0.001). The following factors were associated with poorer Defecation scores, according to school type: female gender (all 3 school types), breakfast skipping (elementary and JHSs), lower physical activity (JHSs and SHSs), and longer school-day screen time (elementary and SHSs). In addition, poorer self-reported academic performance scores in ES, less standardized body mass index (BMI) in JHS, and shorter non-school- day screen time scores in SHS, were associated with poorer Defecation scores. Poor Defecation frequency showed significant associations with various lifestyle Habits, such as breakfast skipping, physical activity, and screen time, among pupils. Academic performance and standardized BMI were also associated with Defecation frequency. More attention should be paid to Defecation frequency to sustain health and function in pupils.

A Case of a Patient with a Rectal Ulcer Who Had an Unusual Defecation Habit
Digestive Endoscopy, 1993Co-Authors: Kazunori Hoshika, Mitsuru Mizuno, Tsuyoshi KiharaAbstract:: This case report describes a patient with a rectal ulcer who had an unusual Defecation Habit. Complete healing was recognized colonoscopically after the patient was instructed to break this Habit. A polyp of the ascending colon was detected by a barium enema in a 37-year-old man complaining of anal bleeding. He was admitted to our division to undergo a polypectomy. At the time of the polypectomy, a round ulcer, measuring 1 cm in diameter, was detected on the right wall of the rectum 3 cm from the anal verge. A diagnosis of mucosal prolapse syndrome of the rectum could not be made because the patient did not exhibit the characteristic Habit of excessive “straining” mentioned by patients with this syndrome, and no characteristic finding of fibromuscular obliteration was found on histological examination of biopsied specimens taken endoscopically from the lesion. Repeated history taking, however, revealed that the patient had the unusual Habit of inserting his finger into his rectum after Defecation. He broke this Habit following instruction to do so. As a result, on colonoscopic examination 15 month later, the ulcer was found to have become a scar:

Digestion-resistant maltodextrin effects on colonic transit time and stool weight: a randomized controlled clinical study
European journal of nutrition, 2015Co-Authors: María Salud Abellán Ruiz, María Dolores Barnuevo Espinosa, Carlos Javier Contreras Fernández, Antonio Luque Rubia, Francisca Sánchez Ayllón, Miriam Aldeguer García, Carlos García Santamaría, Francisco Javier López RománAbstract:Increased awareness of the importance of dietary fibre has led to increased interest in “functional” fibre components like digestion-resistant maltodextrin (RMD). This randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study assessed the effects of RMD in the colonic transit time (CTT) and Defecation characteristics (frequency, stool volume and consistency). Sixty-six healthy adult volunteers (32 men) who did not have a daily Defecation Habit had a 7-day run-in period before the 21-day intervention period with RMD or placebo. CTT and segmental CTT (SCTT) were assessed by a single abdominal X-ray film taken at the end of both periods after radiopaque marker ingestion. Defecation characteristics and intestinal functions were also assessed, which were self-reported by patients. Intragroup comparisons were evaluated by Student’s paired t test, Bonferroni test and Chi-square test, while time comparisons by analysis of variance (ANOVA) and time-by-treatment interaction by repeated-measures ANOVA. Fifty-seven subjects were assessed for CTT (placebo, n = 28; RMD, n = 29). In the RMD group, the total CTT, left SCTT and rectosigmoidal SCTT decreased significantly compared to baseline (p

RECTAL PROLAPSE, RECTAL INTUSSUSCEPTION, RECTOCELE, AND SOLITARY RECTAL ULCER SYNDROME
Gastroenterology clinics of North America, 2001Co-Authors: Richelle J. F. Felt-bersma, Miguel A. CuestaAbstract:Rectal prolapse can be diagnosed easily by having the patient strain as if to defecate. A laparoscopic rectopexy should be recommended. Intussusception is more an epiphenomenon than a cause of defecatory disorder and should be managed conservatively. Solitary rectal ulcer syndrome is a consequence of chronic straining, and therapy should include restoring a normal Defecation Habit. Rectocele should be left alone; an operation may be considered if it is larger than 3 cm and is causing profound symptoms despite maximizing medical therapy for the associated Defecation disorder.
