Inflammatory Bowel Disease V: Surgical Management

455
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:

Ostomy Care01:24

Ostomy Care

1.8K
Introduction
An ostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening from the intestines to the outside of the body, allowing for the rerouting of effluent. This opening is known as a stoma. A stoma usually protrudes above the skin surface, appearing pink or red, moist, and round, and it lacks nerve sensations.
There are different types of ostomies, including colostomies, ileostomies, and urostomies:

Imaging Studies III: Gastrointestinal Motility Studies and Virtual Colonoscopy

379
This lesson explores three gastrointestinal imaging techniques: radionuclide testing, colonic transit studies, and virtual colonoscopy.
Radionuclide Testing
Radionuclide testing is a sophisticated medical technique for assessing gastrointestinal motility. It focuses on gastric emptying and colonic transit time. Radioactive markers track the movement of food through the digestive system, providing insights into gastrointestinal disorders.
In gastric emptying studies, a meal's liquid and...

Assessment of the Rectum and Anus01:25

Assessment of the Rectum and Anus

1.1K
Evaluating the rectum and anus plays a crucial role in conducting a thorough physical examination of the gastrointestinal system. Although it may be uncomfortable and often embarrassing for the patient, it holds immense diagnostic value, particularly in detecting gastrointestinal diseases and abnormalities. This guide will explain how to perform this assessment using inspection and palpation methods.
Rectal Inspection
Begin by inspecting the perianal and anal areas for color, texture, rashes,...

Assessment of the Gastrointestinal System II: Health Perception Pattern01:29

Assessment of the Gastrointestinal System II: Health Perception Pattern

456
Assessing the gastrointestinal (GI) system is a complex process that begins with collecting subjective data. This data, collected through patient interviews, provides crucial insights into the patient's health history, perception patterns, and lifestyle habits, all contributing significantly to GI health.
Health Perception Patterns
Health perception patterns offer valuable insights into a patient's lifestyle habits and how they may impact their GI health. These patterns include:

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Digital Health
  • Ostomy Care

Background:

  • Individuals with fecal intestinal stomas require ongoing support for self-care and management.
  • Mobile health (mHealth) applications offer a potential avenue for delivering this support.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically map existing mobile applications designed for health care support of individuals with fecal intestinal stomas.
  • To review both scientific literature and mobile app stores for relevant applications.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature search across multiple databases (MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science, LILACS, Capes, RCAAP, Trove, DIVA).
  • App store analysis involving title/description review, download, and content/functionality assessment.
  • Data extraction included app details, content, functionalities, and study conclusions.

Main Results:

  • A total of 12 studies identified 13 mobile applications for ostomy care.
  • The majority of applications focus on providing self-care information post-hospital discharge.
  • Some applications facilitate communication with healthcare professionals and enable patient monitoring.

Conclusions:

  • The development of mobile technologies for individuals with intestinal stomas presents a promising area.
  • There is a notable scarcity of research evaluating the impact of these mHealth technologies on the target population.
