Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction01:17

Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction

663
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...

Glucose Transporters01:27

Glucose Transporters

26.9K
Glucose transporters facilitate the transport of glucose across the cell membrane. In addition to glucose, some glucose transporters can also aid the movement of other hexoses such as fructose, mannose, and galactose.
Facilitated diffusion-glucose transporters (GLUTs) are encoded by the solute-linked carrier (SLC) family 2, subfamily A gene family, or SLC2A. The 14 GLUT protein members are distributed into three classes:

Irritable Bowel Syndrome II: Clinical Features and Diagnostic Evaluation
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is classified into subtypes based on the predominant bowel habits as determined by the Bristol Stool Form Scale (BSFS). The subtypes are:

Proteoglycans01:05

Proteoglycans

4.4K
Glycans, a class of complex heterogeneous molecules, can be covalently attached to proteins to form glycosylated proteins that regulate various physiological and pathological processes. Glycosylated proteins or glycoproteins comprise N-linked and O-linked oligosaccharides. O-glycosylation is the most common type of protein glycosylation. Here, glycans attach to the oxygen atom of the hydroxyl groups of Serine or Threonine residues. O-linked glycosylation occurs later in protein processing,...

Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology

963
Gastritis is marked by disruption of the mucosal barrier that usually protects the stomach tissue from digestive juices and manifests in acute and chronic forms.
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...

Other Disorders of Digestive System01:30

Other Disorders of Digestive System

1.3K
The gastrointestinal tract is susceptible to various disorders. If the lower esophageal sphincter is damaged, stomach acid can flow back into the esophagus, causing irritation and inflammation of the lining. This condition is called gastroesophageal reflux disease (known as heartburn) and may cause chest pain and difficulty swallowing. In the stomach, prolonged use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like aspirin, chronic alcohol consumption, bacterial infections such as Helicobacter...

Summary

Chilaiditi's sign, a rare condition where the colon interposes between the liver and diaphragm, was successfully managed with laparoscopic cholecystectomy. This case highlights a minimally invasive approach for this anatomical variation.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Radiology
  • Surgical Case Study

Background:

  • Chilaiditi's sign involves colonic interposition between the liver and right diaphragm.
  • First described in 1910 by Demetrius Chilaiditi.
  • Incidence varies: 0.025–0.28% in plain imaging, 1.18–2.40% in CT scans.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a case of Chilaiditi's sign in a 73-year-old male.
  • To discuss the management of this condition.
  • To review the incidence and radiological findings of Chilaiditi's sign.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of a 73-year-old male presenting with epigastric pain.
  • Radiological diagnosis of Chilaiditi's sign.
  • Surgical management via laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Main Results:

  • The patient experienced epigastric pain, ectopic cholecystitis, and segmental hepatic hypoplasia.
  • Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed with an uneventful outcome.
  • Confirms Chilaiditi's sign as a radiological finding with potential clinical correlation.

Conclusions:

  • Chilaiditi's sign can be associated with abdominal symptoms.
  • Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a viable treatment option.
  • Understanding the incidence and presentation is crucial for diagnosis.
