Background The nonselective 5‐HT 4 receptor agonists, cisapride and tegaserod have been
associated with cardiovascular adverse events (AEs). Aim To perform a systematic review of …

Gastroesophageal reflux is a physiological phenomenon, occurring with different severity
and duration in different individuals. Reflux disease occurs when this normal event results in …

Cisapride, the prototype serotonergic agent, evolved from a body of research that defined
the key roles of serotonergic receptors in gastrointestinal motor and sensory function …

It has been speculated that impaired salivary flow is common in patients with end-stage
renal disease (ESRD) requiring hemodialysis (HD). The aim of this study is to investigate the …

Objective To evaluate the efficiency of the 5-HT 4 agonist and 5-HT 3 antagonist mosapride,
as compared with cisapride, on oesophageal acid reflux variables and oesophageal motor …

To test this hypothesis, salivary function was measured by quantitative salivary scintigraphy
in noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) patients, as well as in age-and sex …

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: A fisioterapia respiratória (FR) em pacientes submetidos a
suporte ventilatório invasivo, atua diretamente no sistema ventilatório podendo alterar a …

scintigraphy (SGS) in healthy subjects. Methods The study population consisted of 93 …

Objectives To evaluate the efficiency by which the 5-HT 4 agonist cisapride affects important
motor functions involved in the control of gastro-oesophageal reflux. Method Thirty patients …

Apesar do grande entusiasmo despertado pelo avanço dos conceitos definidores do
