Meanings of constipated patients in английском

Unlike healthy subjects, constipated patients showed minimal or no response to edrophonium injection.

The constipated patients reported more psychological distress than healthy subjects.

Since constipation is a disorder of this mechanism, namely a disorder of rectal evacuation, application of these tests on constipated patients is logical.

That's because stool that's been bulked up with fiber is also softer than normal, which is helpful for constipated patients and easier to pass.

Our results suggest that even among constipated patients psychological distress is prominent and that measures of illness behavior help to discriminate among different pathophysiological groups.

Patients: Twenty-five chronically constipated patients, slow transit type, age range 16-71 years, unresponsive to conventional medical treatment and referred for functional evaluation, entered the study.
