[The pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of postvagotomy diarrhea]
Abstract:
The article deals with questions of pathogenesis, diagnostics and treatment of postvagotomy diarrhea which was found in 6 (3.5%) of 174 patients with postvagotomy syndromes. The leading place in the development of diarrhea belongs to the disturbed regulatory function of the pyloric sphincter after vagotomy with pyloroplasty. In 3 patients with the II-III degree diarrhea medicamentous treatment was not effective and the patients were operated on. A new original method of surgical treatment of postvagotomy diarrhea is described. For the first time in the world the author has performed plasty of the vagus nerve with the help of epineural sutures in combination with true pyloroplasty with a good outcome.

Drugs for Treatment of Diarrhea-Predominant IBS
Two specific drugs used in the treatment are alosetron (Lotronex) and eluxadoline (Viberzi). Alosetron, a 5-HT3 antagonist, works by slowing the movement of stools in the gut, reducing bowel...
Peptic Ulcer Disease II: Pathophysiology
Damaging agents such as Helicobacter pylori, gastric acid, pepsin, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can weaken the mucosal defense, allowing hydrogen ions to infiltrate back and harm epithelial cells.
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:
Inflammatory Bowel Disease III: Diagnostic Studies and Management I-Nutritional Therapy
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 colonic...
