Chronic inflammation that accompanies this disease can lead to the formation of ulcers. Ulcers are open sores that are characterized as deep with defined borders in Crohn’s patients. Again because the disease can affect the entire GI tract, the ulcers can form in the mouth all through to the anus. Fistulas can form from ulcers extending through the intestinal wall. Fistulas are abnormal connections between different parts of the intestine or another organ.
Abdominal pain and abdominal cramping is caused the inflammation of the walls and eventually thickens the walls with scar tissue and leads to cramping. Mild Crohn’s causes moderate intestinal discomfort and in more severe cases, can cause nausea and vomiting. Blood in the stool is caused by food being moved from the digestive tract through the inflamed tissue. The bleeding might be notices as bright red directly in the toilet or darker red blood that is mixed into the stool. Crohn’s also causes small sores or ulcers on the surface of the intestines that eventually penetrate into the intestinal walls.
Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic, chronic and life threatening disease that affects the lung, digestive and reproductive systems. Cystic Fibrosis affects the cells that produce mucus and sweat and digestive juices. These secreted fluids are normally thin and slippery. But in cystic fibrosis, a defective gene causes the secretions to become thick and sticky. Instead of acting as a lubricant, the secretions plug up tubes, ducts and passageways, especially in the lungs and pancreas.
Finally, avoid contact with people who show signs of sore throat. There are a couple of treatments, also; they are surgery that removes infected tissues, antibiotics and intravenous immunoglobulin, treat complications, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. This “flesh-eating bacteria” is something that will ruin patients’ lives if they catch
Diarrhoea, feeling sick and vomiting are the most common side effects. Some people get a fungal infection such as thrush after treatment with antibiotics for a longer period of time. More serious side-effects of antibiotics include kidney problems, blood disorders, increased sensitivity to the sun and deafness. However, these are rare. Antidepressants e.g.
Crohn’s disease is an ongoing inflammation bowel disease of the digestive tract, also referred to as the gastrointestinal (GI) tract that can cause ulcerations which is breaks in the lining of the small and large intestines. Crohn’s disease is named after the physician who described the disease in 1932 (www.gicare.com). Crohn’s disease can affect any area of the GI tract, from the mouth to the anus, but it most commonly affects the lower part of the small intestine, called the ileum. The swelling extends deep into the lining of the affected organ. The swelling can cause pain and can make the intestines empty frequently, resulting in diarrhea.
Ulcerative Proctitis which means the inflammation is just in the rectum; and Proctosigmoiditis which involves the rectum and sigmoid colon which is the lower end of the intestine. There is also Left-sided colitis, which involves the rectum, sigmoid and descending colon; Pancolitis affects the entire colon and Fulminant colitis is a rare and severe form of UC which can be life-threating and affects the entire
STAGE 4 Pressure sores progress, with extensive damage to deeper tissues (muscles, tendons and bones). Serious complications, such as osteomyelitis (infection of the bone) or sepsis (infection carried through the blood) can occur. 1:2 Common places where pressure sores are likely to develop are, back of head and ears, elbows, lower back and sacrum, shoulders, hips, heels and the inner knees. 1:3 Factors that put individuals at risk of skin breakdown and pressure sores are confinement to a bed, chair or wheel chair, Inability to change positions without help, loss of bowel or bladder control, poor nutrition and/or dehydration and decreased mental awareness. 1:4 By using incorrect moving and handling techniques one might put residents at risk.
Yesinia Pesties is gram-negative which means that antibiotics are less effective on the plague because of a lip polysaccharide layer over their walls that add extra protection. The bubonic plague has a major impact on the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is made up of lymph nodes, lymphatic vessels, lymphoid organs and circulating lymphocytes. Plague victims tend to have large bumps on their bodies which are called "buboes". These are actually swollen lymph nodes filled with puss.
This results in inflammation causing swelling, increased blood flow, and ulcerations. In Crohn’s disease, these ulcerations go into the full thickness of the intestinal lining. This may lead to a narrowing of the bowel, which can lead to partial or total blockage of the intestinal flow, called bowel obstruction. Symptoms of intestinal obstruction include cramping around the mid-abdomen, frequently associated with vomiting. The abdomen may also become bloated and distended.
