Simple chronic constipation: pathophysiology and management.
Benson JA Jr.
Chronic constipation is not a simple problem. It is often related to fundamental beliefs and habits. Once it has been established that the cause is not an organic disorder, the physician must take pains to explore with the patient other possible causes. Simple, inorganic constipation can usually be traced to poor diet or poor habits. The physician should provide simple explanations of the mechanisms involved in the act of elimination and detailed instructions on appropriate food and water intake and the development of regular habits. Laxatives should be prescribed only if absolutely necessary and if the patient taking them can be carefully observed.

The eighties were characterized by the introduction of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) and calcium channel blockers (CCB) in the treatment of arterial hypertension. The present study investigates the side effects of antihypertensive drugs in the Toulouse University Hospital (France) between 1981 and 1990. Most of the side effects involved ACEI (45%), CCB (22%) and diuretics (18%). Central antihypertensive agents and beta-blocking drugs were involved in 8 and 9% of side effects respectively. During these 10 years, 197 side effects were reported in our hospital (3300 beds). Some of them were found more frequently: renal insufficiency (15%) or cough (9%) with ACEI, constipation (3%), gingivitis (1%) or lower limb oedema (4.5%) with CCB, hemolytic or autoimmune anemia (2.5%) and confusional state (1.5%) with central antihypertensive agents, nightmares (1.5%) with propranolol. The most frequently side effects were dermatological (20%), hydroelectrolytic (10%) and neuropsychiatric (9.6%) disturbances. In spite of the methodological problems of this kind of study (retrospective evaluation, under-notification of the side effects and different scores of imputability), these data indicate the most frequently observed side effects of antihypertensive agents during the eighties. It allows to estimate an approximate frequency of these side effects: among the antihypertensive drugs, CCB and diuretics seems the less frequently involved in the occurrence of reported side effects.

The author discusses in the submitted paper the important subject of manifestations of diabetes in the digestive tract--oesophagus, stomach, small and large intestine. Autonomous neuropathy, in particular a reduced tonus of the vagus, leads to a number of functional disorders which can produce diabetic dysphagia, gastroparesis, diarrhoea and constipation. The reduced tonus of the vagus, along with other factors, may lead to atrophy of the gastric mucosa and reduced gastric secretion. This explains the higher incidence of atrophic gastritis and other complications in diabetic patients. The author discusses also basic clinical aspects of these disorders and outlines therapeutic procedures.
