Appendicitis Stomach and Duodenal Ulcers (Peptic Ulcers) Helicobacter Pylori Crohn's Disease ... Inflammatory and Infectious Disorders : Crohn's Disease E-mail this page Print this page Crohn's Disease What is Crohn's disease? Crohn's disease is an inflammatory bowel disease. It is a chronic condition that may recur at various times over a lifetime. It usually involves the small intestine, most often the lower part called the ileum. However, inflammation may also affect the entire digestive tract, including the mouth, esophagus, stomach, duodenum, appendix or anus. Crohn's disease is also called ileitis or enteritis. What causes Crohn's disease? There are many theories regarding Crohn's disease, but none has yet been proven. One theory suggests that some agent, perhaps a virus or bacteria, affects the body's immune system and triggers an inflammatory reaction in the intestinal wall. Although there is a lot of evidence that patients with this disease have abnormalities of the immune system, it is not known whether the immune problems are a cause or a result of the disease. Physicians believe that there is little proof that Crohn's disease is caused by emotional distress or by an unhappy childhood.

American Journal of Hospital Pharmacy, Vol 34, Issue 2, 171-172 Articles Successful oral anticoagulant therapy in a patient with short bowel syndrome JF Mitchell, LC Maas, RC Barger, and EA Geizayd The case of a 41-year-old male with a history of multiple emboli and short bowel syndrome who was successfully anticoagulated with sodium warfarin is described. The prothrombin times were stabilized in a therapeutic range with warfarin doses of 5.0 mg -7.5 mg daily. The pharmacokinetics of warfarin suggests that absorption is high in the proximal intestine. The successful use of sodium warfarin in the patient substantiates this finding and demonstrates that short bowel does not necessarily preclude the use of warfarin for anticoagulation. It is suggested that patients with short bowel syndrome may be successfully anticoagulated with oral products; however, careful monitoring of each patient's prothrombin time is necessary because of the variability and extent of bowel loss.

Dehydration, short bowel syndrome and ileostomy Follow Ups Post Followup UOA General Discussion 2004 July (a) FAQ Posted by Terry G on July 02, 2004 at 13:48:03: On the Tuesday evening at a church meeting, my pouch suddenly filled. I went to empty it and, on my return, it filled again within a few minutes. I went to empty it again and noted, as previously how much fluid was it it and how little solid. By now I had overall abdominal pain and nausea, nearly throwing up then and there. I waved good-bye to the vicar as I rushed out and home, grabbed phone and went into the bathroom where I alternated between throwing up and emptying my pouch which became progressively just liquid. My urostomy had stopped filling at all. As it appeared to be gastro-enteritis causing the problem, I was shipped to another hospital by ambulance to be put in isolation. Take care.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate if selenium deficiency of patients with short bowel syndrome is caused by selenium malabsorption or by excessive intestinal or renal loss. METHODS: The metabolism of [75Se]selenite was investigated in eight selenium-depleted short bowel patients on HPN and in six control subjects. The isotope was given orally, and in a subsequent study as bolus injection or as 12-hour IV infusion. RESULTS: The fractional intestinal absorption of selenium was significantly reduced in the patients (2% to 58%, median 20%) when compared with the reference group (79% to 91%, median 82%) (p < .001). Within the group of patients we found a positive significant correlation between fractional selenium absorption and the length of the remaining small intestine (r = 0.95, p

Says Serono Serostim requires more study prior to approval for short bowel syndrome, FDA’s Gastrointestinal Drugs Advisory Committee said June 25. "Efficacy has not been shown in a generalizable fashion," Committee Chair Michael Wolfe, MD, Boston University, said. The committee voted six to three that the study submitted by Serono was not sufficient to demonstrate the efficacy of the growth hormone product for short bowel syndrome patients. One of the main concerns of the committee, and FDA, was that in the 41-patient study conducted by Serono, 38 patients were enrolled from one center. The committee voted seven to two that the results were not generalizable to other patients with the condition. The committee did find that the study results, however, were "clinically meaningful" in a six-to-three vote, responding to a question that FDA had posed about study results and primary endpoint.

Diet is the primary treatment for short bowel syndrome. A person must take in at least 2500 calories per day through a diet containing mostly complex carbohydrates and protein . A low- fat diet helps reduce diarrhea. Some medications, such as loperamide, also help control the diarrhea. Vitamin and mineral supplements are often needed, especially vitamin B12 and folate Calcium and iron supplements may be needed. A bile salt-binding medication, such as cholestyramine, is often given to help control symptoms. Some people with this condition produce too much stomach acid. This can further decrease digestion. Medications such as omeprazole or ranitidine can be used to help reduce the amount of stomach acid.

KidsHealth Parents Medical Problems Digestive System The digestive system is a set of organs (including the stomach, large and small intestines, rectum, and others) that convert the foods we eat into nutrients and absorb these nutrients into the bloodstream to fuel our bodies. We seldom notice its workings unless something goes wrong, as in the case of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It's estimated that up to 1 million Americans have inflammatory bowel disease. It occurs most frequently in people ages 15 to 30, but it can also affect younger children and older people. And there are significantly more reported cases in western Europe and North America than in other parts of the world. What Is Inflammatory Bowel Disease? Inflammatory bowel disease (which is not the same thing as irritable bowel syndrome, or IBS) refers to two chronic diseases that cause inflammation of the intestines: ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease . Although the diseases have some features in common, there are some important differences. Ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory disease of the large intestine, also called the colon. In ulcerative colitis, the inner lining - or

What is a Pediatric Surgeon? Finding a Pediatric Surgeon Contact Us APSA Foundation ... Print w/out Graphics Short-Bowel Syndrome There are numerous definitions for short-bowel syndrome (SBS). The simplest definition is that there is inadequate intestine to maintain normal nutrition by eating. Because infants and children require increased calories to grow and develop, SBS can have a more devastating effect in these patients. Before the availability of total parenteral nutrition (TPN, food delivered into the veins), most infants and children with SBS died from malnutrition. The true incidence of SBS is unknown. A Canadian study suggested that it is present in 4.8 per 1 million people. SBS typically is the result of a catastrophic event involving the small intestine and possibly the colon (large intestine). Necrotizing enterocolitis and midgut volvulus from malrotation are the two most common causes of SBS. Other causes are listed in Table 1. Table 1: Course of Short-Bowel Syndrome in Infants and Children Necrotizing enterocolitis Midgut volvulus from malrotation Multiple intestinal atresias Gastroschisis Trauma Inflammatory bowel disease Normal Physiology The intestine has an enormous capacity to absorb secretions and ingested fluids (Figure 1). There is extra intestine normally which is why a major loss of the intestine may not result in SBS. Absorption occurs through the lining (mucosa) of the small intestine. Nutrients, vitamin B12, calcium, iron, and bile acids are absorbed through the cells of this lining. Mucus covers the surface of the mucosa cells and acts as a trap to hold nutrients in contact with the cell surface. Mucus also acts as a bacterial barrier.
