There have been many confounding research trails debating whether there is causation between feeding concentrates and ulceration of the stomach. Nevertheless, there is evidence illustrating gastric pH decreases when large amounts of concentrates are added to the diet (Flores et al., 2011; Frank et al., 2005; Videla and Andrews, 2009). Horses masticate less while consuming concentrates than forages. As mentioned previously, saliva production is stimulated via mastication which is a contributing factor to decreased gastric pH; this may result in a pH low enough to result in ulcers (Elia et al., 2011; Flores et al., 2011). Therefore, concentrate consumption may highly contribute stomach ulceration, especially when adequate amounts of forage …show more content…
Omeprazole is time sensitive and will only work for twenty-four hours before it is excreted in the urine. Length of treatment is dependent upon the severity of the ulcers and dosage of omeprazole (Bell et al., 2007; Videla and Andrew, 2009). Histamine type II receptor antagonists are another frequently utilized treatment for gastric ulcers. These products prevent the interaction between histamine and histamine receptors and thus inhibit HCl secretion from parietal cells in the stomach (Bell et al., 2007; Videla et al., 2009). However, there is conflicting data concerning the efficacy of these products to reduce gastric ulcers and the half-life for these products are very short, requiring more frequent dosing (Bell et.al., 2007). Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID’s) are often administered to alleviate any pain associated with gastric ulcers, or other pain throughout the equine body. Unfortunately, NSAID’s have been linked to increased gastric ulcers, contributing to the issue (Bell et al., 2007, Videla and Andrews, 2009). Nutritionally, there are practices which may promote the healing and prevention of gastric ulcers. Providing a more natural management practice can reduce gastric ulceration by reducing stress and allowing for a more natural feed intake process. Increased grazing through pasture turnout is recommended as the most effective dietary treatment. Grazing will allow for a more continuous saliva
It was a sweltering July day and suddenly I had an incredible pain in my stomach. It felt as if the acidic gases in my stomach were churning up and down, burning the inside of my stomach. My mom frantically dialed 911 and I swiftly arrived at the hospital in an ambulance. Not long after I arrived, the doctor notified me I was having an allergic reaction.
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a human pathogen that is responsible for ulcers and stomach inflammation. The organism had been researched by several scientists around the world since 1875; however none of them was successfully culture it. Until 1982, Dr. Barry Marshall and Dr. Robin Warren succeeded in observing the colonies, and thus became the first scientists to discover this bacterium. By self-testing, Dr. Marshall drank a liquid that contained H. pylori culture. A few days later, he got sick with many symptoms such as vomiting and nausea. After ten days, by undergoing endoscopy, he was able to confirm the role of H. pylori in causing gastritis. Then he and Dr. Warren also demonstrated the effect of
To start the search for evidence within University Hospital, questions were asked in regards to pressure ulcers. Monthly updates are often sent out via email from the wound care team to keep everyone up to date on knowledge. While there was informative numbers within those updates, this information falls short according to Moore, Webster, & Samuriwo (2015). The main limitation of the study is the lack of a control group in pressure ulcer prevention and treatment. There is no clarity in the specific criterion that contributed to improved clinical outcomes. Teams used more than one method in the research project. Also, there is no study that meant the inclusion criteria in the random clinical trials. The lack of standardized

Overpopulation always has been one of the essential problems that China needs to pay attention to. In 1979, Chinese government promulgated a law called ‘one-child policy’ that official name is ‘family planning policy’, which purpose is to slow down the rate of population growth and control the size of the total population. This paper using calibrated general-equilibrium models that compared benchmark with a fertility constraint and counterfactual experiment to study the effects of China’s one-child policy. The results indicate that one-child policy mainly effected six fields of China. First, the one-child policy promoted human capital of China and increased per

A study conducted over seven years by Amir et al (2011) showed a significant decline of pressure ulcer development after three years of the study. This was partly due to strategies being implemented in regards to repositioning along with adequate nutrition, pressure ulcer prevention information leaflets were given to patients and skin assessments (Amir et al., 2011). It must also be considered that different patients will have different comorbidities and the use of a risk assessment tool is vital to assess and implementing a plan for pressure ulcer prevention according to the patient’s score (Tannen et al., 2010).
An interdisciplinary team of professional staff is a necessity to overcome the issue of pressure ulcer development among patients. Relevant stakeholders would include a nurse, nurse aide, dietitian, and a hospitalist. The primary responsibilities of the nurse consist of completing and documenting skin and risk assessments, monitor progress and/or changes in medical/skin conditions, report patient problems to the hospitalist, and work with the wound team
Have you ever heard about ulcerative colitis? For those that have not or might want to know a little more information regarding this disease here are in this essay you will learn the definition, risk factors, symptoms, if there is any treatment to cure and many more important details that many of us should take into consideration.
Colic is one of the most common ailments experienced by horses and is more common in horses than any other animal. It is more common at night and is often connected with irregular feeding. This is because of the horses’ inability to vomit and unload the stomach, the small size of the stomach and the great length of the intestines, puckering of the large intestine allowing food to lodge there, the range of movement the large intestine has within the abdomen and finally, the frequency a horse is affected with internal parasites. Colic can be fatal so it is vitally important that a vet should be called if colic is suspected. Colic is a set of symptoms pointing to severe abdominal pain. True colic relates to conditions arising in the intestines
The stomach is an expandable muscular sac that is capable of holding 2-4 liters of food and liquids and breaks them down with the use of pepsinogen, an inactive form pepsin, a protein-digesting enzyme. If the stomach was damaged or dysfunctional, then it would be harder to gradually release food into the small intestine at a rate suitable for proper digestion and absorption and to digest the food because it is not as small or digested because the stomach also assists in the mechanical and chemical breakdown of the food as well as the killing of harmful bacteria due to the high acidic environment due to the hydrochloric acid.

Many feel today we are losing the war on drugs. When a battle goes to the point where there is no winner, there needs to be a re-evaluation of how to solve the problem. In the case of the war against drugs, years of fighting have caused increased crime, overcrowding of prisons, and the wasted use of money and resources with no results. It is now time to look at alternative methods to solve the nation's drug problem.
