Drugs for Treatment of Ulcerative Colitis in IBD01:29

Drugs for Treatment of Ulcerative Colitis in IBD

537
Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory condition primarily affecting the colon and rectum. The primary drugs used in the treatment of ulcerative colitis are aminosalicylates. They exhibit anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties. They modulate inflammatory mediators and inhibit the activity of nuclear factor κB (NF-κB). Aminosalicylates also reduce inflammation by inhibiting prostaglandin and leukotriene production and decreasing neutrophil chemotaxis and superoxide...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis01:27

Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis

1.1K
Introduction
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...

Acute Pharyngitis

4.4K
Introduction
Acute pharyngitis is the inflammation of the back of the throat (pharynx), commonly resulting in a sore throat. It is a frequently encountered condition that prompts individuals to seek medical advice.
Classification
Acute pharyngitis can be categorized based on its underlying cause:

Acute Pancreatitis I: Introduction01:27

Acute Pancreatitis I: Introduction

1.3K
Pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreas, an organ located behind the stomach. It can be either acute or chronic.
Acute pancreatitis is characterized by rapid inflammation of the pancreas, often caused by factors like gallstone blockage or excessive alcohol consumption. Chronic pancreatitis, on the other hand, is a slow, progressive inflammation that may result from long-term alcohol abuse, obstructions in the pancreatic duct, or genetic factors.
The causes of acute pancreatitis include:

Acute Pyelonephritis I: Introduction01:27

Acute Pyelonephritis I: Introduction

719
Pyelonephritis is a bacterial infection that primarily affects the renal parenchyma and collecting system, including the renal pelvis, tubules, and interstitial tissue of one or both kidneys. It can be classified as either acute—a sudden, severe infection—or chronic, which refers to long-term or recurrent kidney infections.The primary cause of acute pyelonephritis (APN) is bacterial infection, with Escherichia coli accounting for approximately 70-80% of cases. Other bacteria, such...

Acute Respiratory Failure-I01:21

Acute Respiratory Failure-I

1.1K
Acute respiratory failure is a condition characterized by the inability of the lungs to perform their primary function: gas exchange. This failure leads to insufficient oxygen levels (hypoxemia) in the blood, elevated carbon dioxide levels (hypercapnia), or both, causing critical impairment in organ function.
Definition: It is defined by specific criteria based on blood gas measurements. Hypoxemia happens when the partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) falls below 60 mmHg. At the same time,...

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Internal Medicine
  • Coloproctology

Background:

  • Acute severe colitis is a critical condition necessitating hospitalization and close observation.
  • Diagnosis relies on established clinical and biological indicators.
  • Surgical intervention (colectomy) is a consideration throughout management, especially for complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the diagnostic criteria and management strategies for acute severe colitis.
  • To emphasize the importance of thromboembolic prevention.

  • Clinical assessment and biological markers for diagnosis.
  • Intravenous corticosteroids (0.8mg/kg/day prednisone equivalent) as first-line therapy.
  • Thromboembolic prevention using low molecular weight heparin.

Main Results:

  • Colectomy is indicated for immediate management of complications.
  • First-line treatment involves intravenous corticosteroids.
  • Infliximab and cyclosporine are viable second-line options for refractory cases without complications.

Conclusions:

  • Effective management of acute severe colitis involves a multi-faceted approach including medical therapy and surgical consideration.
  • Prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment escalation are crucial for patient outcomes.
  • Thromboembolic prophylaxis is a critical component of care for these high-risk patients.
