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

433
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...

Overview of Protein Metabolism01:21

Overview of Protein Metabolism

1.9K
Proteins are broken down into amino acids during digestion. Unlike fats and carbohydrates, which are stored for later use, proteins are not. Instead, amino acids are either used to produce ATP through oxidation or contribute to the creation of new proteins for the growth and repair of the body. Any surplus amino acids from the diet are converted into glucose or triglycerides rather than excreted.
Amino acids play various roles in the body once they are absorbed into cells. They are restructured...

Glucose Transporters01:27

Glucose Transporters

24.3K
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:

Other Disorders of Digestive System

1.0K
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...

Factors Influencing Drug Absorption: Disease States and Pharmacology

846
Multiple disease states can significantly influence the oral drug absorption process by affecting blood flow and the functionality of the gastrointestinal (GI) system. Various GI diseases, including conditions that alter GI motility, such as diarrhea, decreased acid secretions (achlorhydria), and infections, have been associated with reduced drug absorption.
Substances such as alcohol and specific drugs, including antineoplastics, can also negatively impact drug absorption. For instance,...

Irritable Bowel Syndrome I: Introduction01:17

Irritable Bowel Syndrome I: Introduction

403
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...

Area of Science:

  • Neonatology
  • Pediatric Gastroenterology
  • Nutritional Science

Background:

  • Feeding intolerance is a frequent issue in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), affecting both preterm and term infants.
  • Optimizing nutritional support is critical for infant growth and development in the NICU setting.
  • Identifying the root cause of feeding intolerance is essential for effective clinical management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the significance of malabsorption and food intolerance in neonatal nutrition difficulties.
  • To highlight the diagnostic considerations for feeding intolerance in newborns.
  • To discuss the impact of these conditions on nutritional interventions.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on neonatal feeding intolerance.
  • Analysis of the role of malabsorption in infant nutrition.
  • Examination of food intolerance as a cause of feeding issues.

Main Results:

  • Malabsorption and food intolerance are significant contributors to feeding intolerance in neonates.
  • These conditions present with diverse signs and symptoms, complicating diagnosis.
  • Early identification and tailored nutritional strategies are crucial.

Conclusions:

  • Malabsorption and food intolerance represent key differential diagnoses for feeding intolerance in newborns.
  • Understanding these mechanisms aids in optimizing nutritional care for vulnerable infants.
  • Further research into specific diagnostic markers and targeted therapies is warranted.
