Other Disorders of Digestive System01:30

Other Disorders of Digestive System

749
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...

Sexually Transmitted Infections

292
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are diseases transmitted primarily through unsafe sexual interactions. Bacteria, viruses, or parasites cause them and can result in severe health complications if untreated.ChlamydiaThe bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis is responsible for the disease Chlamydia, the most common STI in the United States. This peculiar pathogen requires human cells to reproduce, residing intracellularly. The initial infection often goes unnoticed because it typically does not...

Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology

296
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...

Gastritis-I: Introduction and Types

328
Gastritis, defined by the inflammation or irritation of the stomach lining or gastric mucosa, manifests in several distinct forms: acute, chronic, reactive, and a specific subtype known as autoimmune metaplastic atrophic gastritis.
Acute gastritis presents as a sudden inflammation triggered by various stressors to the stomach lining, such as exposure to corrosive agents, local irritants like aspirin and other NSAIDs, alcohol consumption, radiation therapy, physical trauma, severe burns, sepsis,...

Skin Diseases and Disorders

3.7K
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

206
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...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Immunology

Background:

  • A 34-year-old African-American woman with a history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hypertension presented with recurrent facial blisters.
  • The patient reported monthly occurrences of blisters on her nose or cheeks over an 8-month period.

Observation:

  • The blisters were occasionally pruritic and resolved spontaneously.
  • Upon presentation, only post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation was noted on the nasal dorsum.
  • Photographic evidence documented the initial appearance of the blisters.

Findings:

  • The case describes a rare presentation of recurrent blistering in an immunocompromised patient.
  • Differential diagnoses for such lesions in HIV-positive individuals are considered.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering dermatological conditions in the management of HIV.
  • Prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment are crucial for managing such presentations and preventing complications.
