Intestinal Disease

We present here the methods for a study to determine rates and aetiology of IID in the community, presenting to primary care and recorded in national surveillance statistics. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Weight Loss

    Abstract A 20-year-old male presented with low-grade fever, abdominal pain, anorexia, and weight loss of 4-month duration. On examination, he was emaciated. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    It causes pain after eating and results in weight loss. It can also result in a fatal interruption of blood-flow to the intestines. Without proper flow, the intestines may begin to die and become gangrenous. [ucdmc.ucdavis.edu]

  • Abdominal Pain

    In the 45 patients with small-intestinal ulcer, 29 patients had recurrent hemorrhage, 9 had abdominal pain, 4 had abdominal distention, 2 had malnutrition, and 1 had diarrhea. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Nausea

    Symptoms of shigellosis include diarrhea (sometimes with blood or mucus * ), fever, vomiting, nausea, and abdominal * cramping. [humanillnesses.com]

    When the abdomen receives radiation, there is always some nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. In most cases, the symptoms get better within 2 to 3 months after treatment ends. [nlm.nih.gov]

    The standard treatment for C. diff infection, which can cause abdominal pain, severe diarrhea, dehydration, nausea and kidney failure, is actually more antibiotics. [sacbee.com]

    Drugs that are effective against nausea and vomiting (antiemetics) may also be used. Prokinetics are a class of drugs that are often prescribed to individuals with CIP with the intent of improving gastrointestinal motility. [rarediseases.org]

  • Constipation

    Constipation and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) are two common examples. [my.clevelandclinic.org]

    Functional constipation and chronic functional abdominal pain are other disorders of the intestine that have physiological causes, but do not have identifiable structural, chemical, or infectious pathologies. [doctors-hospitals-medical-cape-town-south-africa.blaauwberg.net]

    Chronic constipation jumped 90% from 2009 to 2010. The fourth graph is a plot of hospital diagnoses of functional bowel disorder (chronic constipation, irritable bowel and undetermined) against the number of acres of all Bt corn. [farmwars.info]

  • Loss of Appetite

    Loss of appetite and weight loss also may occur. However, the disease is not always limited to the gastrointestinal tract; it can also affect the joints, eyes, skin, and liver. Fatigue is another common complaint. [rxlist.com]

    In adults, however, especially the elderly, C. difficile can produce fever, watery diarrhea, abdominal pain, and loss of appetite. [humanillnesses.com]

    Note : Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis can have similar symptoms and may include: Severe abdominal pain Diarrhea (often with blood, mucus, and/or pus) Painful bowel movements Fever Fatigue Loss of appetite and weight loss What are Conventional [lifeextension.com]

    Symptoms generally include frequent, watery diarrhea, loss of appetite, stomach cramps, bloating and fatigue. Vomiting, body aches, headache, fever and other flu-like symptoms are possible. [mystatesman.com]

  • Chronic Diarrhea

    Herein, a male patient is presented with hypoalbuminemic ascites and a history of chronic diarrhea five years before. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    It is characterized by inflammation of the small intestine, loss of microvilli structure, deficient nutrient absorption, and malnutrition.Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) HIV EnteropathyCharacterized by chronic diarrhea more than one month in duration [en.wikipedia.org]

Preoperative workup Assessment of visual potential by checking accurate light projections and swinging flashlight test to detect a relative afferent pupillary defect. [eyewiki.aao.org]

The workup and treatment of diarrhea is similar in patients with or without diabetes. [journal.diabetes.org]

Coverage begins with the patient's first visit and proceeds through the diagnostic workup: endoscopy, radiologic testing, and instruments for rating and classifying inflammatory bowel disease. [libreriacortinamilano.it]

The remaining initial workup including immunoglobulin levels, serum thyroid stimulating hormone, stool cultures, Clostridium difficile toxin assay, stool ova and parasites, and stool osmolality and electrolytes was unremarkable. [scielo.mec.pt]

  • Hepatic Necrosis

    Postmortem histopathology in F( ) indicated not only massive hepatic necrosis, but also massive hepatic fibrosis. These histopathological findings explained the clinical presentation of portal hypertension. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Water and Na balance were assessed (weight, serum creatinine, urea, Na) at baseline and at 1 and 3 months of treatment, but also monitored carefully during the first few days of treatment. Serum Mg was measured at baseline and at 2 and 4 weeks. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Immediate diagnosis and emergency treatment of this life-threatening condition is required. [ucdmc.ucdavis.edu]

[…] research found that smoking increases the risk of Crohn’s disease by about 76%. 9 In Australia, about 36% of Crohn’s disease in men, and about 40% in women, has been attributed to smoking. 10 Patients with Crohn's disease who continue to smoke have a worse prognosis [tobaccoinaustralia.org.au]

It is not a single disease, but an atypical manifestation of other diseases. [2] Pathophysiology The pathophysiology of this disorder is directly related to the excessive leakage of plasma proteins into the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract. [emedicine.com]

The presenting symptoms of these two IBDs are often similar (abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhoea), but the pathophysiology differs. Crohn's disease is thought to be an autoimmune disease (see Section 3.17 ), but ulcerative colitis is not. [tobaccoinaustralia.org.au]
