Assessment of the Rectum and Anus01:25

Assessment of the Rectum and Anus

1.9K
Evaluating the rectum and anus plays a crucial role in conducting a thorough physical examination of the gastrointestinal system. Although it may be uncomfortable and often embarrassing for the patient, it holds immense diagnostic value, particularly in detecting gastrointestinal diseases and abnormalities. This guide will explain how to perform this assessment using inspection and palpation methods.
Rectal Inspection
Begin by inspecting the perianal and anal areas for color, texture, rashes,...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease

1.5K
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: Introduction

930
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...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease V: Surgical Management

856
Surgical interventions for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, are essential in managing symptoms and addressing complications. The selection of surgical procedures is contingent upon the specific conditions and complications that stem from these illnesses.
Here are some common surgical interventions for IBD:

Appendicitis-I: Introduction01:22

Appendicitis-I: Introduction

3.7K
The appendix, a small, narrow, blind tube extending from the inferior part of the cecum, is widely regarded as a vestigial organ, having lost much of its original function through evolution. Despite its diminished role, the appendix can become inflamed, a condition known as appendicitis.
Etiology: Appendicitis can arise from various causes, primarily rooted in the obstruction of the appendix lumen. Factors contributing to this obstruction include fecal accumulation, lymphoid hyperplasia and, in...

Summary

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can cause diaphragm disease, leading to small bowel obstruction. Even with enlarged lymph nodes, NSAID history is key for diagnosing this condition.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are associated with diaphragm disease, a condition causing multiple small bowel strictures.
  • Diaphragm disease typically presents with anemia and symptoms of small bowel obstruction due to scar tissue contraction.

Observation:

  • A 47-year-old woman with a history of NSAID abuse presented with subacute small bowel obstruction.
  • Imaging revealed multiple ileal strictures and significant locoregional lymphadenopathy, initially suggesting malignancy like lymphoma.

Findings:

  • Histological examination confirmed diaphragm disease.
  • Enlarged mesenteric lymph nodes exhibited reactive features, not malignancy.

Implications:

  • Gross locoregional lymphadenopathy can occur in diaphragm disease.
  • A strong NSAID use history is crucial for diagnosing diaphragm disease, even with prominent lymphadenopathy.
