Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease01:30

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease

1.1K
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...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis

1.0K
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...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease V: Surgical Management01:21

Inflammatory Bowel Disease V: Surgical Management

577
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:

Inflammatory Bowel Disease IV: Pharmacological Management

663
Upon diagnosis, managing Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) involves addressing several crucial aspects. The primary goals include resting the bowel, correcting malnutrition, and providing symptomatic relief. Resting the bowel may consist of medications to reduce inflammation and promote healing. Correcting malnutrition is essential, often requiring dietary adjustments and nutritional supplements. Symptomatic relief aims to ease pain, diarrhea, and other discomforts in IBD.

Esophageal Strictures-I: Introduction01:30

Esophageal Strictures-I: Introduction

893
Esophageal strictures involve abnormal narrowing or tightening of the esophagus. They vary in length and severity, ranging from mild constriction to complete obstruction, and are classified as benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous).
Etiology
The primary cause of esophageal strictures is long-standing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), accounting for about 70 to 80% of adult cases. Chronic acid reflux can lead to injury and scarring of the esophageal lining, culminating in...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease III: Diagnostic Studies and Management I-Nutritional Therapy

786
Various diagnostic tests are employed in the diagnostic process for Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), particularly to differentiate between Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
Diagnostic studies
A colonoscopy is the definitive screening test, distinguishing ulcerative colitis from other colon diseases with similar symptoms. During a colonoscopy test, inflamed mucosa with exudate ulcerations can be observed, and biopsies are taken to determine the histologic characteristics of the...

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Internal Medicine
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used for pain and inflammation.
  • NSAID use is an under-recognized risk factor for gastrointestinal complications.
  • Small bowel strictures and obstructions are potential adverse effects of chronic NSAID use.

Observation:

  • A 63-year-old female presented with chronic abdominal pain and occult anemia.
  • Diagnostic evaluation revealed a diaphragmatic stricture in the small bowel.

Findings:

  • The patient's symptoms and stricture were attributed to chronic nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use.
  • Diaphragmatic strictures represent a specific type of NSAID-induced small bowel injury.

Implications:

  • Clinicians should consider NSAID-induced small bowel strictures in patients with unexplained abdominal pain and anemia.
  • Awareness of this association can lead to earlier diagnosis and appropriate management.
  • Discontinuation of NSAIDs may be crucial for resolving symptoms and preventing further complications.
