The anatomy of the rectum The rectosigmoid junction usually lies approximately 6 cm below the level of the sacral promontory. Approached from the distal and anal canal end, however, as when performing a rigid or flexible sigmoid- oscopy, the rectosigmoid junction is seen to be 14e18 cm from Vishy Mahadevan the anal verge, and 18 cm is usually taken as the measurement for audit purposes. The rectum in the adult measures 10e14 cm in length.

  • General Signs and Symptoms of Abdominal Diseases
    General signs and symptoms of abdominal diseases Dr. Förhécz Zsolt Semmelweis University 3rd Department of Internal Medicine Faculty of Medicine, 3rd Year 2018/2019 1st Semester • For descriptive purposes, the abdomen is divided by imaginary lines crossing at the umbilicus, forming the right upper, right lower, left upper, and left lower quadrants. • Another system divides the abdomen into nine sections. Terms for three of them are commonly used: epigastric, umbilical, and hypogastric, or suprapubic Common or Concerning Symptoms • Indigestion or anorexia • Nausea, vomiting, or hematemesis • Abdominal pain • Dysphagia and/or odynophagia • Change in bowel function • Constipation or diarrhea • Jaundice “How is your appetite?” • Anorexia, nausea, vomiting in many gastrointestinal disorders; and – also in pregnancy, – diabetic ketoacidosis, – adrenal insufficiency, – hypercalcemia, – uremia, – liver disease, – emotional states, – adverse drug reactions – Induced but without nausea in anorexia/ bulimia. • Anorexia is a loss or lack of appetite. • Some patients may not actually vomit but raise esophageal or gastric contents in the absence of nausea or retching, called regurgitation. – in esophageal narrowing from stricture or cancer; also with incompetent gastroesophageal sphincter • Ask about any vomitus or regurgitated material and inspect it yourself if possible!!!! – What color is it? – What does the vomitus smell like? – How much has there been? – Ask specifically if it contains any blood and try to determine how much? • Fecal odor – in small bowel obstruction – or gastrocolic fistula • Gastric juice is clear or mucoid. Small amounts of yellowish or greenish bile are common and have no special significance. • Brownish or blackish vomitus with a “coffee- grounds” appearance suggests blood altered by gastric acid.

The cranial orifice was located at 11- 12 clock position whereas the caudal orifice was located at 4-5 clock position. The caudal orifice was selectively cannulated and the injection of the contrast revealed presence of an irregularly dilated main pancreatic duct. The cannula and the guide wire introduced through the caudal orifice selectively entered the pancreatic duct and did not come out through the cranial orifice. During ERCP, bile could be seen coming out of the cranial orifice, confirming it to be the orifice of common bile duct. Following selective cannulation of the main pancreatic duct, a 5-Fr stent was placed into the pancreatic duct. Following this, the patient had complete pain relief and is planned for further sessions of pancreatic endotherapy along with pancreatic sphincterotomy.

  • Vivid Dreams/ Problems Sleeping: Nausea/Upset Stomach: Itching/Rash
    Addressing NRT Barriers • Assess the severity of symptoms (Is it tolerable?). • Assess Hx: onset, duration and any troubleshooting that has already taken place. If indicated, get history of these symptoms when not taking these medications. You may also ask how Pt. would normally treat these symptoms. • If symptoms are tolerable àdevelop troubleshooting plan with Pt. Inform Pt. that many symptoms will go away after a few days. Reassess at next visit, but ask Pt. to call if symptoms persist/worsen or become intolerable before next call/visit. • If symptoms are not tolerableàconsider changing products or dosages as applicable. Consult study physician, as needed. Refer Pt. to their personal physician, if needed (e.g., prescription strength creams). • All potential cardiac symptoms should be promptly reported to study physician. Advise Pt. to discontinue NRT when indicated or instructed by study physician. Vivid Dreams/ Problems Sleeping: - Assess if sleep is being disrupted. Is night waking normal for Pt. – what is Pts.’ normal routine? - May try taking patch off at night, keeping in mind cravings may be stronger in the AM. After a couple of nights, try again to wear patch overnight. If using more than 1 patch, may consider only wearing 1 at night. - May try removing patch at night and putting on 2 hours before waking, especially when early morning waking is part of routine. Otherwise, can set an alarm, put on patch, and go back to sleep. - Regulate eating and sleeping patterns and use sleep hygiene tips (relaxation training, avoid caffeine). - Do not smoke or use short-acting NRT within 1-2 hours of bedtime (especially if sleep initiation is the major complaint.) Nausea/upset stomach: - Ask if nausea is only after using gum/lozenge or also after smoking a cigarette.
