Importance of scrotal ultrasonography in gynaecomastia.

Abstract

teers were eating plastic particles and when they were eating bran. Comment t Supplementing the daily diet of healthy volunteers with 15 g inert plastic particles increased the stool mass by nearly three times the mass of plastic ingested, increased the frequency of defecation, and reduced the transit time through the whole gut. These effects may be caused by mechanical stimulation of mucosal receptors as stroking the intestinal epithelium can induce secretion and stimulate peristalsis.4 The enteric nervous reflexes that induce these phenomena may be activated by direct stimulation of sensory nerve endings or through release of transmitters, such as histamine, serotonin, or prostaglandins, from mucosal or submucosal cells.
