Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction01:25

Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction

26
Chronic pancreatitis is a long-standing, relapsing inflammation of the pancreas, characterized by irreversible damage to the gland. It results in progressive destruction of the pancreatic parenchyma, fibrosis, and eventual loss of both exocrine and endocrine function. The disease may evolve gradually after multiple episodes of acute pancreatitis or develop independently.EtiologyChronic pancreatitis can arise from a variety of causes:Alcohol use is the leading cause, accounting for 70–80%...

Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction

906
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...

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: Neurokinin-1 Receptor Antagonists01:28

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: Neurokinin-1 Receptor Antagonists

820
Neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptors are distributed across the GI tract, vagal afferents, and key CNS regions including the central vomiting center and chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) Chemotherapy agents stimulate enterochromaffin cells in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract to release large amounts of substance P (SP). SP is a neuropeptide released by specific sensory nerves in response to many different stressors, including those in the GI mucosa affected by chemotherapy.  SP binds and activates...

Chronic Pancreatitis II: Pathophysiology

30
Chronic pancreatitis is a progressive and irreversible inflammation of the pancreas, most often caused by long-term alcohol abuse, but it can also be related to ductal obstruction, smoking, or genetic factors.Chronic pancreatitis occurs when the pancreas is repeatedly exposed to harmful agents like alcohol, smoking, ductal obstruction, or genetic predisposition. These factors lead to the release of toxic metabolites and inflammatory cytokines, sustaining chronic inflammation in the pancreatic...

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: Cannabinoids01:21

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: Cannabinoids

1.1K
Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is a phytocannabinoid that primarily interacts with the CB1 receptor, a type of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) predominantly in and around the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) and emetic center. THC also blocks the serotonin receptor activity in the dorsal vagal complex (DVC) by inhibiting serotonin release. THC exerts its anti-emetic effects through these interactions, which are beneficial for patients undergoing chemotherapy.
Two synthetic agonists of THC,...

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: 5-HT3 Receptor Antagonists01:27

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: 5-HT3 Receptor Antagonists

927
5-HT3 receptor antagonists, such as dolasetron, granisetron (Kytril), ondansetron (Zofran), and palonosetron (Axoli), are crucial in managing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) and postoperative nausea. These drugs selectively block 5-HT3 receptors in the visceral vagal and spinal afferent nerves, chemoreceptor trigger zone, and the vomiting center. They have a rapid onset of action and can be given as a single dose before chemotherapy. Ondansetron and granisetron, in particular,...

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Adolescent Medicine
    • Neuroscience

    Background:

    • Chronic nausea is a prevalent yet under-characterized symptom in adolescents.
    • It frequently co-occurs with functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) but can also manifest independently.
    • The sensation of nausea involves intricate neural pathways and diverse triggers.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the multifaceted nature of chronic nausea in adolescents.
    • To outline the potential triggers and underlying pathophysiological mechanisms.
    • To discuss current diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature on chronic nausea in adolescents.
    • Analysis of potential gastrointestinal, neurological, autonomic, and psychosocial factors.
    • Synthesis of diagnostic and treatment strategies.

    Main Results:

    • Nausea triggers include gastrointestinal issues, blood-borne factors, dysmotility, and central nervous system involvement.
    • Aberrant autonomic nervous system function and psychosocial elements contribute significantly.
    • Diagnosis is primarily clinical, often lacking specific diagnostic algorithms.

    Conclusions:

    • Chronic idiopathic nausea is an emerging concern in adolescent health.
    • Comprehensive clinical assessment is crucial for accurate diagnosis.
    • Individualized treatment plans targeting comorbid conditions are essential for effective management.
