Abdominal Regions and Quadrants01:19

Abdominal Regions and Quadrants

19.2K
To promote clear communication, for instance, about the location of a patient's abdominal pain or a suspicious mass, anatomists and clinicians typically use imaginary lines to categorize the abdominopelvic cavity into either four quadrants or nine regions to identify organs in the cavity.
The simpler quadrants approach, which is more commonly used in medicine, subdivides the cavity with one horizontal and one vertical line that intersects at the patient's umbilicus (navel). The four...

Appendicitis-I: Introduction01:22

Appendicitis-I: Introduction

3.3K
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...

Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction01:24

Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction

848
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...

Muscles of the Abdomen01:21

Muscles of the Abdomen

3.9K
The abdominal wall encircles the abdominal cavity, providing flexible protection and shielding the internal organs from harm. It is bordered at the top by the xiphoid process and costal margins, at the back by the vertebral column, and at the bottom by the pelvic bones and inguinal ligament. The abdominal wall is divided into two regions — the anterolateral and posterior regions.
Anterolateral Region
The anterolateral region comprises five paired muscles classified into the lateral and...

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...

Peptic Ulcer Disease III: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies01:28

Peptic Ulcer Disease III: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies

750
Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) presents with diverse symptoms depending on the location and severity of the ulcer. Clinical manifestations of peptic ulcer include dull pain and a burning sensation in the mid-epigastric region.
Few clinical manifestations differentiate gastric ulcers from duodenal ulcers. Distinctions in the location, timing, and pain relief are crucial for healthcare providers in differentiating between gastric and duodenal ulcers during clinical assessments.

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    A teenage runner experienced severe abdominal pain while running, which resolved after dietary changes for constipation. This suggests silent constipation can be aggravated by athletic activity.

    Area of Science:

    • Sports Medicine
    • Pediatric Gastroenterology
    • Exercise Physiology

    Background:

    • Recurrent periumbilical pain in adolescent athletes can be challenging to diagnose.
    • Initial investigations often fail to identify the etiology of exercise-induced abdominal pain.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify the cause of exercise-induced abdominal pain in a young female runner.
    • To evaluate the role of constipation in exercise-related gastrointestinal symptoms.

    Main Methods:

    • Case report of a 14-year-old female cross-country runner.
    • Diagnostic workup including history, physical examination, and laboratory/radiologic tests.
    • Therapeutic trial of psyllium and increased fluid intake.

    Main Results:

    • The patient's intense, recurrent periumbilical pain was exclusively associated with running.
    • Standard diagnostic evaluations did not reveal an underlying cause.
    • Symptoms resolved completely after initiating a regimen for constipation.

    Conclusions:

    • Silent constipation, exacerbated by the jarring motion of running, is a potential cause of abdominal pain in adolescent athletes.
    • Dietary modifications and increased fluid intake can effectively manage this condition.
    • Early identification and management of constipation can allow athletes to return to training without symptom recurrence.
