  • Diarrhea After Hours Telephone Triage Protocols | Adult | 2015
    Diarrhea After Hours Telephone Triage Protocols | Adult | 2015 DEFINITION Diarrhea is the sudden increase in the frequency and looseness of BMs (bowel movements, stools). Diarrhea SEVERITY is defined as: Mild: Mild diarrhea is the passage of a few loose or mushy BMs. Severe: Severe diarrhea is the passage of many (e.g., more than 15) watery BMs. INITIAL ASSESSMENT QUESTIONS 1. SEVERITY: "How many diarrhea stools have you had in the past 24 hours?" 2. ONSET: "When did the diarrhea begin?" 3. BM CONSISTENCY: "How loose or watery is the diarrhea?" 4. FLUIDS: "What fluids have you taken today?" 5. VOMITING: "Are you also vomiting?" If so, ask: "How many times in the past 24 hours?" 6. ABDOMINAL PAIN: "Are you having any abdominal pain?" If yes: "What does it feel like?" (e.g., crampy, dull, intermittent, constant) 7. ABDOMINAL PAIN SEVERITY: If present, ask: "How bad is the pain?" (e.g., Scale 1-10; mild, moderate, or severe) - MILD (1-3): doesn't interfere with normal activities, abdomen soft and not tender to touch - MODERATE (4-7): interferes with normal activities or awakens from sleep, tender to touch - SEVERE (8-10): excruciating pain, doubled over, unable to do any normal activities 8. HYDRATION STATUS: "Any sign of dehydration?" (e.g., thirst, dizziness) "When did you last urinate?" 9. EXPOSURE: "Have you traveled to a foreign country recently?" "Have you been exposed to anyone with diarrhea?" "Could you have eaten any food that was spoiled?" 10. OTHER SYMPTOMS: "Do you have any other symptoms?" (e.g., fever, blood in stool) 11.

  • Campylobacterpyloridis in Peptic Ulcer Disease: Microbiology, Pathology, and Scanning Electron Microscopy
    Gut: first published as 10.1136/gut.26.11.1183 on 1 November 1985. Downloaded from Gut, 1985, 26, 1183-1188 Campylobacterpyloridis in peptic ulcer disease: microbiology, pathology, and scanning electron microscopy A B PRICE, J LEVI, JEAN M DOLBY, P L DUNSCOMBE, A SMITH, J CLARK, AND MARY L STEPHENSON From the Departments ofHistopathology and Gastroenterology, North wick Park Hospital and Division of Communicable Diseases, Clinical Research Centre, Harrow, Middlesex SUMMARY After the recent successful isolation of spiral organisms from the stomach this paper presents the bacteriological and pathological correlation of gastric antral biopsies from 51 patients endoscopied for upper gastrointestinal symptoms. Campylobacter pyloridis was cultured from 29 patients and seen by either silver staining of the biopsy or scanning electron microscopy in an additional three. The organism was cultured from 23 of the 33 (69%) patients with peptic ulcer disease and from within this group 17 (80%) of the 21 patients with duodenal ulceration. It was cultured only once from the 12 normal biopsies in the series but from 27 of the 38 (71%) biopsies showing gastritis. C pyloridis was also cultured from five out of seven of the 14 endoscopically normal patients, who despite this had biopsy evidence of gastritis. It was the sole organism cultured from 65% of the positive biopsies and scanning electron microscopy invariably revealed it deep to the surface mucus layer. C pyloridis persisted in the three patients with duodenal ulcers after treatment and healing. The findings support the hypothesis that C pyloridis is aetiologically related to gastritis and peptic ulceration though its precise role still remains to be defined.

They were also seen in four of 20 (20%) of duodenal ulcers, but not in duodenal erosions with duodenitis or normal duodenal biopsy specimens. They were seen in association with 12 of 64 (19%) of cases of Barrett's oesophagus. Moniliasis was seen in nine of78 (12%) ofthe gastric ulcers in which campylobacter-like organisms were found, and the incidence ofmoniliasis was three of 15 (20%) in association with duodenal ulcers when ulcer debris was present in biopsy material, and in association with six of 25 (24%) of cases of Barrett's oesophagus.

  • What Is Peptic Ulcer Disease?
    PEPTIC ULCER DISEASE What Is Peptic Ulcer Disease? Peptic ulcer disease is when painful sores form in the lining of the stomach, duodenum (start of the small intestine) or bowels. An ulcer can cause belly pain and, in some cases, bleeding or even a hole in the stomach or bowel. Stomach The most common causes of ulcers are: Duodenum • An infection of the stomach lining with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), a type of bacteria. • Overuse of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin or ibuprofen. Ulcers often get better with antibiotics, acid- blocking medicines and not using NSAIDs. Ulcers in the stomach and duodenum. Not treating an ulcer can lead to other health issues. About four million Americans have peptic ulcer disease. The information provided by the AGA Institute is not medical advice and should not be considered a replacement for seeing a medical professional. July 2017 Page 1 of 1 © AGA 2017 PEPTIC ULCER DISEASE Symptoms of Peptic Ulcer Disease • The most common symptom of an ulcer is a burning pain in your stomach between your breastbone and your belly button. • You may often feel this pain when your stomach is empty (often between meals), but it can happen at any time — even during the night. • The pain could last from a few minutes to many hours and may sometimes wake you in the middle of the night. • Stomach pain is often reduced by food, fluids or taking antacids. • While not as common as stomach pain, other symptoms could be: - Upset stomach. - Throwing up. - Throwing up blood. - Blood in the stool (black stool).

  • Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage
    ACS/ASE Medical Student Core Curriculum Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage GASTROINTESTINAL HEMORRHAGE Anatomy Bleeding can occur anywhere along the gastrointestinal (GI) tract from the oropharynx to the anus. Bleeding is the initial presentation in 1/3 of patients with gastrointestinal pathology, and the majority of GI bleeding cases stop spontaneously. Knowledge of the GI tract anatomy and blood supply is critical in locating and treating any GI bleed. Upper GI Tract Bleeding from the upper GI tract occurs anywhere between the oropharynx and ligament of Treitz which delineates the transition between the duodenum (foregut) and the jejunum (midgut). This encompasses the oral cavity, esophagus, stomach (fundus, cardia, body, and pyloric region) as well as the entirety of the duodenum. The duodenum is composed of 4 portions: the superior or duodenal bulb, descending, inferior, and ascending, termed 1-4 respectively. The blood supply to the upper GI tract arises from the celiac trunk and includes the left gastric artery which supplies the cardia and lesser curve of the stomach, the splenic artery which has a tortuous course behind the stomach and gives rise to the short gastric arteries, as well as the left gastroepiploic artery on the greater curve of the stomach. The right gastric artery and gastroduodenal artery (GDA) both have their origin from the common hepatic artery which arises from the celiac trunk. The GDA passes just distal to the pylorus and posterior to the duodenum and splits into the anterior and posterior superior pancreaticoduodenal arteries as well as the right gastroepiploic artery along the greater curvature of the stomach. Duodenal ulcers located on the posterior wall are more common than those found on the anterior wall.

  • Gastrointestinal Symptoms in the Iritable Bowel Compared with Peptic Ulcer and Inflammatory Bowel Disease
    Gut: first published as 10.1136/gut.25.10.1089 on 1 October 1984. Downloaded from Gut, 1984, 25, 1089-1092 Gastrointestinal symptoms in the iritable bowel compared with peptic ulcer and inflammatory bowel disease W GRANT THOMPSON From the Division ofGastroenterology, Ottawa Civic Hospital, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Canada SUMMARY Symptoms of 50 patients with the irritable bowel syndrome were compared with those of 49 with endoscopically proven peptic ulcer disease and 49 with radiologically or endoscopically proven inflammatory bowel disease using a questionnaire which was administered after the diagnosis was made. Symptoms of bowel dysfunction including pain related to bowel movements were more likely to occur in the irritable bowel syndrome than peptic ulcer disease. Only abdominal distension, straining at stool and scybala, however, were significantly more likely in the irritable bowel syndrome than inflammatory bowel disease. Four symptoms previously shown to be more common in irritable bowel syndrome than in organic abdominal disease were combined. The more of these symptoms that were present, the more likely were the patients to have the irritable bowel syndrome than peptic ulcer disease. Symptoms of gut dysfunction are highly discriminating between irritable bowel syndrome and peptic ulcer disease but less so between irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease.
