Drugs for Treatment of Diarrhea-Predominant IBS01:17

Drugs for Treatment of Diarrhea-Predominant IBS

833
Diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) is a subtype of IBS characterized primarily by frequent, loose, or watery stools, abdominal pain, and abdominal discomfort. Therapeutic approaches to managing IBS-D include dietary changes, stress management techniques, and pharmaceutical interventions.
Two specific drugs used in the treatment are alosetron (Lotronex) and eluxadoline (Viberzi). Alosetron, a 5-HT3 antagonist, works by slowing the movement of stools in the gut, reducing bowel...

Ostomy Care01:24

Ostomy Care

2.6K
Introduction
An ostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening from the intestines to the outside of the body, allowing for the rerouting of effluent. This opening is known as a stoma. A stoma usually protrudes above the skin surface, appearing pink or red, moist, and round, and it lacks nerve sensations.
There are different types of ostomies, including colostomies, ileostomies, and urostomies:

Drugs for Treatment of Crohn's Disease in IBD Using Glucocorticoids

595
Glucocorticoids, a class of anti-inflammatory drugs, are pivotal in treating moderate to severe Crohn's disease by inducing remission. They exhibit their anti-inflammatory action by inhibiting the production of inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1, and chemokines like IL-8. In addition, they reduce the expression of inflammatory cell adhesion molecules and inhibit gene transcription of nitric oxide synthase, phospholipase A2, cyclooxygenase-2...

Drugs Affecting GI Tract Motility: Antimicrobials as Antidiarrheal Agents

520
Acute diarrhea, a common gastrointestinal disturbance, is characterized by the rapid evacuation of fluid stools, leading to an excessive weight in fluid. This condition typically arises from disorders affecting intestinal water and electrolyte transport. It can be triggered by an increased osmotic load within the intestine, excessive secretion of electrolytes and water, mucosal exudation of protein and fluid, or altered intestinal motility. The primary risks of acute diarrhea are dehydration...

Hand hygiene01:23

Hand hygiene

6.4K
Asepsis is the practice of preventing or breaking the chain of infection. The nurse employs aseptic techniques to prevent the spread of microorganisms and reduce the risk of diseases. Hand hygiene is the cornerstone of aseptic techniques and is classified into medical and surgical asepsis. Medical asepsis includes hand hygiene and the use of gloves. Surgical asepsis, or the sterile technique, refers to practices that render and keep objects and areas free of microorganisms.

Diarrhea is characterized by the occurrence of frequent, watery bowel movements. Various factors can trigger diarrhea, including viral or bacterial infections, foodborne illnesses, side effects from certain medications, and underlying digestive disorders. If not adequately managed, diarrhea can lead to complications such as dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and nutrient deficiencies. Severe diarrhea can lead to significant weight loss, malnutrition, and weakened immune function.

Area of Science:

  • Neonatal care
  • Pediatric dermatology
  • Evidence-based practice

Background:

  • Diaper dermatitis is a common and costly issue in hospitalized infants.
  • It causes pain, infection risk, and distress for infants and families.
  • Consistent prevention and treatment are crucial for quality neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and implement an evidence-based algorithm for diaper dermatitis prevention and treatment in a level IV NICU.
  • To evaluate the algorithm's impact on the incidence and severity of diaper dermatitis.
  • To highlight the importance of consistent infant skin care protocols.

Main Methods:

  • Development of an evidence-based algorithm for diaper dermatitis management.
  • Implementation of the algorithm in a level IV NICU setting.
  • Case study analysis of severe diaper dermatitis before and after algorithm introduction.

Main Results:

  • The algorithm introduction marked the final severe case of diaper dermatitis.
  • Subsequent cases, though less severe, indicated ongoing challenges with consistent adherence.
  • Data collection before and after implementation supports the algorithm's potential.

Conclusions:

  • Consistent adherence to evidence-based protocols is essential for reducing diaper dermatitis in high-risk infants.
  • The algorithm serves as a valuable tool for improving infant skin care and outcomes.
  • Further investigation into skin injuries in NICU patients is warranted.
