Case Study 376 Short Bowel Syndrome

The next topic discusses the significant challenges facing the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America today and in the near future. One of the major challenges of the organization is finding ways to help with the insurance and financial burdens for the IBD patients. In 2004, there were 1.1 million hospital and healthcare visits for Crohn’s disease and 716,000 for Ulcerative Colitis, as well as 4 million prescriptions written for both these diseases (Crohn’s and Colitis, 2012). Unfortunately, the annual financial burden of IBD in the United States is more than 31 billion dollars, which demonstrates how expensive the physician visits, hospital stays, and medications are for IBD patients. For example, studies have estimated the annual direct

FODMAP are a group of short-chain carbohydrates and sugar alcohols that are naturally found in foods or food additive and are poorly absorbed within the body. A diet low in FODMAPs, usually known as the “low FODMAPs diet”, is scientifically proven as the most effective dietary therapy for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).(1) Following a low FODMAP diet can reduce symptoms related to IBS including excessive wind, abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, diarrhea and constipation and has also been proven to reduce symptoms of fatigue, lethargy and poor concentration.(2)

Irritable Bowel Syndorme (IBS) and Ulcerative Colitis are not presently included in SSA’s listings of impairments, but you can be approved for benefits if you prove that it disrupts your life enough to keep you from working a full time job.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a functional GI disorder (FGID) characterized by abdominal pain in association with altered bowel habits in the absence of any identifiable structural or biochemical abnormalities. It is a very common disorder that can have a profound negative impact on a patient’s quality of life and constitutes a considerable social and economic burden on society. Extensive research over the last few decades has led to a better understanding of this complex syndrome and improvements in treatment. After a brief review of the clinical manifestations and diagnosis of IBS, the current understanding of the complex physiological mechanisms contributing to the syndrome will be addressed. The remainder of this paper will focus

The 78-year-old female client came into the emergency room (ER) with intractable nausea and vomiting over the previous 24 hours. She also presented with leukocytosis of approximately 14,000 cells/uL, mild hyponatremia and hypokalemia, and mild distention. The client was otherwise asymptomatic. An abdominal X-ray was able to identify and locate an adhesive related obstruction in her small intestine, resulting in a diagnosis of a Small Bowel Obstruction (SBO) (Lewis, Bucher, Heitkemper, & Harding, 2017). A SBO is a disruption in the progression of chyme in the gastrointestinal (GI) system (McCance, Huether, Brashers, & Rote, 2014). When it is an adhesive related SBO, fibrin is what is responsible for attaching a segment

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a chronic gastrointestinal (GI) tract disorder that tends to go into remission and relapse. Pain and/or discomfort in different parts of the abdomen is associated with changes in bowel patterns (1). While the specific cause of IBS is still unknown, some believe that gut-brain axis disorders are

Alleged disability: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), ulcerative colitis, chronic pain and fatigue, anemia, anxiety, depression, and insomnia. Additionally, she had an ulcer and blood loss. She reported that the chronic pain worsened the depression and fatigue and she was unable to finish her daily activities.

The American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy finds that approximately 5-15% of the world population are affected by irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). What is irritable bowel syndrome? It is interpreted as a disorder of the gastrointestinal system that spawns changes in bowel function (chronic diarrhea, constipation, or abdominal pain) (Roberts, 2013). Severity depends upon the cause; food intolerances worsen the clinical presentations (Roberts, 2013). Those who are affected by IBS present with manifestations such as anorexia, abdominal bloating, and nausea with meals or passing stool. The disease is speculated to be a psychosomatic disorder that is aroused by stress, but is identified as an

Irritable Bowel Syndrome, IBS, is a gastrointestinal disease predominant in women that affects approximately thirty-four percent of the population of Europe, with the numbers also drastically rising in the United States. The side effects of IBS can range from mild to severe and the disease does not have a cause, nor a proper solution. Instead, the individual patient must try different medications in order to find the proper medication that will cure his/her specific form of Irritable Bowel Syndrome. IBS has been linked to anxiety disorders and their effects on the digestive system by the form of symptoms and other medical disorders.

The hypothesis I am researching is the correlation between gastrointestinal disorder and children who are diagnosed with autism (ASD). The non-experimental method I would use is the case study process. I selected this particular method due to the fact, it is imperative to understand the history of the autistic child and the first onset of the disorder; meaning when did the parents notice that the child suffers from some type of gastrointestinal disease. Gastrointestinal disorder could include, but not limit to, vomiting, diarrhea, lack of appetite, constipation and adnominal pain. Not all children who are diagnosed with autism suffer from gastrointestinal disorder, but the majority of children who are autistic, displays one or more symptoms

Describe the pathopysiology of the disease you have chosen – What is the spectrum of disease/pathology the disease? Is the disease characterized by inflammation, etc? Is it an infectious and/or chronic disease? If so what is the agent, its reservoir, mode of transmission etc.

This study was conducted because Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is the most common of the functional gastrointestinal disorders (Ljótsson et al., 2010). This problem leaves many people with a debilitating health condition that affects their daily lives, along with their mental health. The goal of this study, conducted by Ljótsson and colleagues, was to use mindfulness and exposure therapy techniques to reduce experiential avoidance because it increases IBS inconveniencies. Mindfulness techniques in this study consisted of having the subject be involved in “in the moment” mental states. Then, exposure techniques are used to have the subject combat the feelings to an aversive stimulus, and to feel the anxiety rather than using avoidance to alleviate

After the Peasant’s Revolt of 1381, chaotic citizens of England looked to the ruling political entities of the British Monarch, Parliament and the Church, for interior political reform. Post-revolt Parliament rolls from November 1381 reaffirmed the King’s ambition to lead a positive kingdom that promotes the ultimate good and protection of rights for its people, in an effort to restore the goals and actions of an exemplary governing body. Geoffrey Chaucer illustrates a similar call to action for pre-reformation Church authority to lead by example, ideally abiding by the practices they teach in The Canterbury Tales. Through the use of bickering ironic characters such as the Friar and the Summoner, Chaucer juxtaposes these hypocritical examples with the loyal and archetypal Parson’s description in the General Prologue. The Parson is concerned with the same governing leadership practices and responsibilities for his parishioners as Richard II’s post-revolution kingdom. Figures of religious authority emphasize the necessity of protecting followers from all hindrances or harm.

“The biggest adventure you can ever take is to live the life of your dreams,” Oprah Winfrey once stated (Bodnick). Oprah started her immense adventure at a young age and is still on it. Even though there were many hills and bumps on her adventure, she has so far succeeded in achieving anything she has ever wanted. By always trying and never giving up, Winfrey is now an icon around the world, and she lives the life that she dreamed about as a child. Oprah is an American legend because she overcame a troublesome childhood, was successful in television shows, movies, and literature, and now influences today’s society in many ways.
