Peptic ulcer

Acid-Base Case study 1 The acid base balance of the body is mainly regulated by respiratory and renal system together with the body ‘buffer system. For the body to function normally, the hydrogen ion (H+) needs to be concentrated within a narrow range, represented as pH, which determines the acidity and alkalinity of a solution. Changes in the bicarbonate (HCO3) concentration causes metabolic acidosis or metabolic alkalosis while changes in the rate of alveolar ventilation and carbon dioxide…

He has obstructive sleep apnea and he is on a CPAP machine. Gastroenterology: No GERD. He has history of peptic ulcer disease with EGD done in December 2012 that showed erosive gastritis with biopsy negative for H Pylori. The biopsy was positive for chronic gastritis. His last colonoscopy was in April 2012 that showed colitis that was not specific with negative…

alternation that we propose is a different route of administration. The development of a nasal solution could be beneficial to many patients. Common side effects we hope to eliminate through the use of a nasal formula are abdomen pain, nausea, heartburn, peptic ulcer bleeds, and vomiting. This is possible because a nasal spray would bypass going into the digestive system by going directly into the circulatory system. This will also increase bioavailability and onset time [1]. Rectal and…

Care of Patients with Spinal Cord Injury Spinal cord injury is an event that changes a person’s life forever. The classifications of spinal cord injuries are concussion, compression, contusion, laceration, and transection. Injury can be complete or incomplete (Nayduch., 2010). The type and location of the spinal cord injury will determine the care and management of the patient and subsequent complications that arise from the injury. The research will focus on evidenced-based medical, surgical…

meal, uncomfortable fullness after a meal. Sometimes people feel a burn or pain in the upper abdomen which is also referred to as indigestion. Indigestion is caused by a lot of factors; such as: lack of friendly bacteria, intestinal obstructions, Peptic ulcers and so on. But one of the most important factors that is related to my topic is drinking too much liquid with meals dilutes the enzymes needed for digestion. The reason behind that is while we eat, our stomachs are producing digestive…

Se and se determines the secretor status. The knowledge of secretor status can be applied for tissue transplantation among other applications [2]. Various studies have been done trying to co-relate the ABO blood groups with diseases eg. Peptic ulcer, duodenal ulcer, pernicious anemia, gallstones, carcinoma of the stomach and Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD)…

Bulimia nervosa is an eating disorder in which binge eating is followed by self-induced vomiting, laxative or diuretic misuse, fasting, or excessive exercise. After this occurs, individuals with bulimia can feel a of loss of control, guilt, or remorse (Le Grange & Schmid, 2005, p. 587). Although eating disorders are an extremely important health issue, funding for research is extremely limited compared to other disorders. “Research dollars spent on Alzheimer 's Disease averaged $88 per…

Since their introduction in 1988, proton pump inhibitors (PPI) have become one of the most prescribed drugs worldwide especially for the treatment of peptic ulcer and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). (1) Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) effectively suppress gastric acid production by inhibiting the function of H+/K+-ATPase in gastric parietal cells. (2) Also, the indications for esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) have significantly increased, including GERD. These patients usually tend to be…

decreased gastric and decreased absorptive capacity of the duodenum. The mechanism for developing osteomalacia is incompletely described, although the duodenum is a major site for calcium absorption (Stenson, 1999). Food items for a patient with Peptic Ulcer Permitted foods-Wheat chapattis, rice, maize, jowar, bajra or ragi, cereal of wheat, rice, oatmeal or maize, rice cooked, pulses and beans, vegetable soups, cooked vegetables, potato, sweet potato, meat, fish, chicken, eggs, milk & milk…

the reason for his altered vision. Weight loss, loss of appetite, low self-esteem, numbness and tingling in extremities, anxiety, missing teeth, and irritability, are only some of the symptoms he has experienced over the years. He developed two peptic ulcers, lesions in the lining of the stomach, in his life that required abdominal surgeries. Can you guess the cause? Cigarettes! My brother, on the other hand, decided to try his first cigarette during junior year of high school but kept it a…
