Irritable Bowel Syndrome I: Introduction

947
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is characterized by functional disturbances in the gastrointestinal system, presenting a cluster of symptoms without evident structural or biochemical abnormalities. It primarily affects the large intestine and may cause abdominal pain, bloating, excessive gas, diarrhea, constipation, or both.
IBS is a chronic condition that can persist over a long period or recur frequently.
The pathogenesis of IBS involves a complex interplay of the following factors:
Altered...

Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction01:17

Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction

764
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 II: Crohn's Disease

992
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

941
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 Management

479
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:

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease01:22

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

2.4K
COPD is defined as a heterogeneous lung condition marked by persistent respiratory symptoms such as dyspnea, cough, and sputum production, caused by abnormalities in the airways that cause airflow obstruction.
Smoking is a primary risk factor for COPD, with over 80% of patients having a history of it. Patients typically experience progressive dyspnea or labored breathing, frequent coughing, and recurrent pulmonary infections. Many eventually succumb to respiratory failure, characterized by...

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Gastroenterology
  • Abdominal Imaging

Background:

  • Small bowel obstruction (SBO) is a common surgical emergency requiring prompt diagnosis and management.
  • Accurate imaging is crucial for guiding clinical decisions in SBO patients.
  • Current diagnostic and management protocols for SBO are evolving.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current recommendations and protocols for the imaging evaluation of SBO.
  • To discuss a comprehensive method for SBO assessment using imaging.
  • To highlight key imaging findings for diagnosis, etiology, and complication identification.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature and clinical guidelines on SBO imaging.
  • Discussion of imaging techniques and interpretation criteria for SBO.
  • Emphasis on identifying the transition point, cause, and signs of ischemia.

Main Results:

  • Established imaging protocols aid in the diagnosis of SBO.
  • Specific imaging features help differentiate causes of SBO.
  • Imaging can identify the presence and extent of bowel ischemia, a critical factor in management.

Conclusions:

  • Standardized imaging protocols improve the evaluation of SBO.
  • A systematic approach to imaging assessment facilitates diagnosis, etiology determination, and ischemia detection.
  • Effective imaging evaluation is paramount for optimal SBO patient treatment.
