Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease

1.4K
Introduction
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by...

Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction01:17

Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction

855
Chronic bowel diseases are a group of long-term conditions affecting the digestive tract, characterized by inflammation and damage to the gut lining. These conditions primarily include irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder affecting the gastrointestinal tract. The distinctive feature is recurrent abdominal pain associated with altered bowel movements, manifesting as constipation, diarrhea, or fluctuating between both. The...

Skin Diseases and Disorders

5.9K
Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis

1.3K
Introduction
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...

Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction01:24

Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction

804
The pancreas, an elongated and flat gland situated behind the stomach, serves a vital function in digesting food and managing blood sugar levels.
Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas, which occurs when the immune system becomes active and causes swelling, pain, and disruptions in organ function. Pancreatitis can manifest as either an acute or chronic condition.
Acute pancreatitis arises suddenly and lasts for a brief duration, while chronic pancreatitis is a long-term affliction...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease III: Diagnostic Studies and Management I-Nutritional Therapy

976
Various diagnostic tests are employed in the diagnostic process for Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), particularly to differentiate between Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
Diagnostic studies
A colonoscopy is the definitive screening test, distinguishing ulcerative colitis from other colon diseases with similar symptoms. During a colonoscopy test, inflamed mucosa with exudate ulcerations can be observed, and biopsies are taken to determine the histologic characteristics of the...

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Metabolic Disorders
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Acrodermatitis enteropathica is a rare, inherited disorder of zinc metabolism.
  • It presents with characteristic dermatitis, alopecia, gastrointestinal issues, eye infections, and growth failure.

Observation:

  • A 17-month-old girl presented with acrodermatitis enteropathica.
  • Physical exam revealed a symmetrical cutaneous eruption in perioral, acral, and perineal areas.
  • Plasma zinc levels were at the lower end of the normal range.

Findings:

  • The patient received zinc sulfate 50 mg/day.
  • After two months of treatment, significant clinical improvement was observed.
  • This suggests the efficacy of zinc supplementation in managing acrodermatitis enteropathica.

Implications:

  • Early diagnosis and zinc supplementation are crucial for managing acrodermatitis enteropathica.
  • This case underscores the importance of monitoring zinc levels in children with unexplained skin conditions.
  • Effective treatment can reverse symptoms and improve growth outcomes.
