Gastritis III: Clinical Manifestations and Management01:23

Gastritis III: Clinical Manifestations and Management

451
The clinical manifestations of gastritis can vary depending on the cause and type of gastritis, but some common symptoms may include the following.
Clinical manifestations of acute gastritis
The patient with acute gastritis may have a rapid onset of symptoms, such as epigastric pain or discomfort, dyspepsia, anorexia, hiccups, or nausea and vomiting, which can last from a few hours to a few days. Erosive or hemorrhagic gastritis may cause bleeding, which may manifest as blood in vomit or as...

Skin Diseases and Disorders

4.1K
Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease

370
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...

Peptic Ulcer Disease I: Introduction01:30

Peptic Ulcer Disease I: Introduction

279
Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD) is characterized by mucosal excavation in the esophagus, stomach, pylorus, or duodenum. It can manifest as acute or chronic based on the extent and duration of mucosal involvement.
An acute ulcer, marked by superficial erosion and minimal inflammation, swiftly resolves upon identifying and addressing the underlying cause. In contrast, a chronic ulcer persists, potentially eroding through the muscular wall and forming fibrous tissue.
Peptic ulcers can also be...

Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology

523
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...

Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction01:24

Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction

146
The pancreas, an elongated and flat gland situated behind the stomach, serves a vital function in digesting food and managing blood sugar levels.
Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas, which occurs when the immune system becomes active and causes swelling, pain, and disruptions in organ function. Pancreatitis can manifest as either an acute or chronic condition.
Acute pancreatitis arises suddenly and lasts for a brief duration, while chronic pancreatitis is a long-term affliction...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Immunodermatology

Background:

  • Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a rare neutrophilic dermatosis.
  • It can be idiopathic or associated with systemic conditions like IBD or neoplasms.
  • PG classically presents as painful skin lesions.

Observation:

  • A 54-year-old woman developed a non-healing wound post-synovial cyst removal, progressing to a painful necrotic ulcer.
  • Histopathology and clinical presentation suggested PG.
  • The patient experienced multiple relapsing episodes of scattered lesions.

Findings:

  • Initial treatment with wound care, topical tacrolimus, and oral corticosteroids showed a good response.
  • Extensive etiological workup for secondary causes was negative.
  • An idiopathic relapsing pyoderma gangrenosum diagnosis was established.

Implications:

  • Pyoderma gangrenosum is often underdiagnosed and challenging to treat.
  • Prompt diagnosis and management are crucial for minimizing complications.
  • Effective treatment strategies are vital for improving patients' quality of life.
