Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP01:26

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

7.2K
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a diagnostic procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat conditions related to the bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, and gallbladder. This procedure is beneficial for identifying and addressing blockages, gallstones, strictures, and tumors within the biliary or pancreatic systems. ERCP is both diagnostic and therapeutic, offering the ability to visualize and treat identified problems in one session.

Enteral Nutrition II: Nasointestinal and Gastrostomy Feeding

2.0K
Enteral nutrition encompasses various methods of delivering nutrition directly to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, bypassing traditional oral intake. It is particularly beneficial for patients who cannot eat by mouth but have a functioning digestive system. Key methods include nasointestinal feeding, gastrostomy, and jejunostomy, each suited to different clinical scenarios based on the patient's needs and condition.

What is Monogastric Digestion?01:50

What is Monogastric Digestion?

56.5K
The human body contains a monogastric digestive system. In a monogastric digestive system, the stomach only contains one chamber in which it digests food. Several other animal species also have monogastric digestive systems, including pigs, horses, dogs, and birds. This chapter, however, focuses on the human digestive system.

Enteral Nutrition I: Orogastric and Nasogastric Feeding

3.1K
Enteral nutrition delivers nutrients directly to the stomach or small intestine through a tube. This method is appropriate for patients who cannot eat but still have a functioning digestive system. It is also beneficial for individuals with swallowing difficulties, anorexia, malabsorption, or those who have undergone gastrointestinal (GI) surgery.
Orogastric (OG) and nasogastric (NG) feeding are two standard methods used for enteral nutrition. Enteral nutrition is often preferred over...

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease01:25

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease

46
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is the backward flow of stomach contents (acid, pepsin, or bile) into the esophagus, causing mucosal inflammation known as esophagitis. It results from failure of antireflux mechanisms, mainly the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), influenced by mechanical and physiological factors.Etiology and Risk FactorsGERD develops when LES function is weakened or when intra-abdominal pressure increases. Risk factors include aging, obesity, and sliding hiatal hernia,...

Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy01:29

Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

2.4K
An Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is a diagnostic procedure in which an endoscopist uses a flexible, lighted endoscope to visualize the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The procedure includes visualizing the oropharynx, esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine, the duodenum.
During an EGD, the endoscope can be used to:

Area of Science:

  • Avian medicine
  • Wildlife health
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Free-living raptors commonly require veterinary care at wildlife rehabilitation facilities.
  • Gastrointestinal conditions are a frequent primary or secondary reason for raptor admissions.
  • Debilitation from injuries or rehabilitation stress can exacerbate gastrointestinal problems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of raptor gastroenterology.
  • To highlight common gastrointestinal conditions encountered in free-living raptors.
  • To emphasize the importance of anatomical and physiological knowledge for successful rehabilitation.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on raptor anatomy, physiology, and gastroenterology.
  • Discussion of clinical presentations and management of gastrointestinal diseases in raptors.
  • Emphasis on species-specific considerations for free-living birds.

Main Results:

  • Gastrointestinal tract issues are a significant concern in raptor rehabilitation.
  • Understanding normal raptor biology is essential for diagnosing and treating these conditions.
  • Secondary gastrointestinal compromise is common due to underlying debilitation.

Conclusions:

  • Effective management of raptor gastroenterology requires a deep understanding of their unique biology.
  • Addressing gastrointestinal problems is critical for successful wildlife rehabilitation outcomes.
  • This review serves as a resource for veterinarians and rehabilitators managing free-living raptors.
