Acute cholecystitis
The document discusses cholelithiasis (gallstones) and acute cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder). It covers the prevalence and types of gallstones, risk factors, potential complications, clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment options. For acute cholecystitis, conservative treatment with antibiotics and fluids is usually attempted first to resolve the inflammation before delayed cholecystectomy once symptoms subside.
Volvulus in git
The document discusses different types of intestinal volvulus including gastric, small bowel, large bowel, and combinations. Gastric volvulus is classified as organoaxial or mesenteroaxial depending on the axis of rotation. Small bowel volvulus often occurs due to midgut malrotation. Large bowel volvulus commonly affects the cecum or sigmoid colon. Sigmoid volvulus is the most common type of large bowel volvulus and presents as an inverted U-shape on imaging. Cecal volvulus results from torsion of the cecum around its own mesentery.
Tumors of small intestine
The document discusses various tumors and conditions of the small intestine. The common benign and malignant tumors of the small intestine are listed. Details are provided about carcinoid tumors, including their classification and characteristics. Megaolon is described as a dilatation of the colon that can be congenital or acquired. Hirschsprung's disease is mentioned as a congenital form. Other topics covered include the carcinoid syndrome, Meckel's diverticulum, volvulus, and intussusception - the telescoping of one segment of intestine into another.
Neonatal intestinal obstruction
This document discusses various congenital anomalies requiring surgery in neonates. It begins by providing statistics on birth rates and the percentage of babies born with conditions needing surgical treatment. Specific conditions discussed include esophageal atresia, gastroschisis, omphalocele, intestinal malrotations, intestinal obstructions, Hirschsprung's disease, congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis, anorectal malformations, and tracheoesophageal fistula. For each condition, the document provides details on incidence, embryology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment approaches. It emphasizes the importance of timely surgical intervention to improve outcomes for babies born with these rare but serious birth defects.
Obstructive jaundice
This document provides information about jaundice and obstruction of the biliary tract. It begins with an overview of the causes of yellow discoloration of the skin and mucous membranes, which is caused by bilirubin accumulation. It then describes the breakdown of red blood cells and how bilirubin is processed and excreted. The document outlines various causes of obstructive jaundice including gallstones, strictures, tumors, and external compression. Investigation methods and treatment approaches for different biliary obstructions are also summarized.
Gastric ulcer by Dr.K.AmrithaAnilkumar
GASTRIC ULCER
AETIOLOGY
It occurs due to imbalance between protective and damaging factors of gastric mucosa.
Atrophic gastritis
duodenogastric bile reflux
gastric stasis
abnormalities in acid and pepsin secretion.
Acid becomes ulcerogenic even to normal gastric mucosa.
Tumors of appendix
This document discusses tumors of the appendix. It outlines different types of appendix tumors including mucocele, primary adenocarcinoma, cystadenocarcinoma, and carcinoid tumors. Mucocele occurs when the appendix lumen becomes blocked, causing a fluid-filled cyst. Ruptured mucocele or adenocarcinoma can lead to pseudomyxoma peritonei, where mucus accumulates in the abdominal cavity. Carcinoid tumors are the most common appendix tumors but are generally not aggressive. Management depends on tumor type but often involves surgical removal of the appendix or part of the colon.
Intestinal obstruction
Intestinal obstruction occurs when the downward movement of intestinal contents is arrested. It can be classified based on its pathological cause, level of obstruction, onset and course. Common causes include adhesions, hernias, tumors and strictures. Symptoms depend on the level and type of obstruction and may include pain, distension, vomiting and constipation. Examination findings can provide clues to whether the obstruction is simple, strangulated or closed loop. Further testing is needed to determine the specific cause and appropriate management.

Inguinal hernia
Inguinal Hernia report 2013, during Surgery rotation of my Post Graduate Internship at the Veterans Memorial Medical Center
Intestinal Obstruction
This document discusses intestinal obstruction, including:
- Types of obstruction include mechanical, functional, dynamic, and adynamic. Mechanical obstruction can be partial or complete.
- Causes include adhesions, hernias, tumors, volvulus, and diverticular disease.
- Pathophysiology involves bowel distension, alterations in motility and absorption, circulatory changes, and bacterial overgrowth.
- Clinical presentation includes colicky abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, obstipation, and distension. Diagnosis involves imaging like abdominal x-rays, ultrasound, and CT scan.
- Management depends on whether it is simple or strangulated, and includes resuscitation, NG decompression
Anorectal abscess
This presentation discusses the diagnosis and management of anorectal abscesses. Key points include:
- Anorectal abscesses typically present with perianal pain, swelling, and drainage and are usually caused by a cryptoglandular infection.
- Differential diagnoses depend on associated symptoms and may include hemorrhoids, fistulas, or Crohn's disease.
- Evaluation involves examination, blood tests, and imaging studies.
- Treatment is early surgical drainage of the abscess to prevent complications like fistula formation or impairment of sphincter function. Postoperative care involves antibiotics, pain relief, and follow-up to monitor for healing or complications.
Acute cholangitis
The document discusses acute cholangitis, including its pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnostic criteria, severity assessment, imaging, and management. Regarding diagnostic criteria, it summarizes that Charcot's triad has low sensitivity for diagnosing acute cholangitis compared to the Tokyo Guidelines 2007 and 2013 criteria. It also notes that the Tokyo Guidelines 2007 criteria for severity assessment were insufficient and have been revised in subsequent guidelines to better distinguish mild from moderate cases in the initial diagnosis.
Peritonitis and intra abdominal abscess
This document discusses peritonitis and intra-abdominal abscesses. It begins with an anatomy section describing the peritoneum. Peritonitis is defined as inflammation of the peritoneum caused by microorganisms, chemicals, irradiation or foreign bodies. The pathophysiology involves an influx of fluid and immune cells into the peritoneal cavity in response to injury or infection. Management involves treating both the infection source and with antibiotics. Localized peritonitis can occur when anatomical or pathological factors limit the spread of infection.
Acute appendicitis
Acute appendicitis is a common condition caused by obstruction of the appendix. It typically presents with abdominal pain that starts around the umbilicus and later localizes to the right lower quadrant, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, or fever. A clinical diagnosis is usually made based on history and physical exam findings like tenderness in the right lower quadrant. Imaging like CT can help when the diagnosis is unclear. Treatment involves antibiotics and surgical removal of the appendix (appendicectomy) which is usually performed laparoscopically. Delayed diagnosis and treatment can lead to complications from infection or perforation of the appendix.
Acute Calculous Cholecystitis
Acute calculous cholecystitis is caused by obstruction of the cystic duct by a gallstone. Symptoms include biliary colic, fever, and right upper quadrant pain. Ultrasound and hepatobiliary scintigraphy can diagnose thickened gallbladder walls and obstruction. Treatment involves early laparoscopic cholecystectomy for mild cases, or initial conservative treatment with antibiotics and potential percutaneous cholecystostomy for severe cases presenting with sepsis, with delayed cholecystectomy once the patient improves. Guidelines recommend early surgery for mild disease and initial medical management for severe acute cholecystitis.
Anorectal abscess & Anal fistulae
This document discusses anorectal abscesses and fistula in ano. It begins by defining anorectal abscesses as infections of soft tissues around the anal canal that form abscess cavities, often coinciding with fistula in ano. The peak incidence is in the third and fourth decades of life, affecting males more often. Causes include infection of anal glands, injury, Crohn's disease, and tuberculosis. Pathophysiology involves infection of anal glands leading to abscess formation in intersphincteric spaces. Abscesses are classified based on their location such as perianal, ischiorectal, or pelvirectal. Treatment involves incision and drainage. Fistula in ano results from
Gallbladder and biliary tract diseases
This document discusses diseases of the gallbladder and bile ducts. It covers topics like cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder), choledocholithiasis (gallstones in the bile ducts), and cholangitis (infection and inflammation of the bile ducts). Signs, symptoms, diagnostic tests, and treatments are described for various conditions. Risk factors for gallstone formation include obesity, pregnancy, and hereditary conditions. Complications can include perforation or fistula formation. Conditions are typically diagnosed using ultrasound, CT, or ERCP and treated with antibiotics, stone dissolution therapies, or cholecystectomy.
Hydrocele
This document discusses hydroceles, which are abnormal collections of serous fluid in the processus vaginalis of the scrotum. There are congenital and acquired types. Congenital hydroceles occur when the processus vaginalis remains patent, while acquired hydroceles develop secondary to conditions like epididymo-orchitis or testicular tumors. Hydroceles are usually painless swellings that surround the testis and epididymis, making them difficult to palpate. Treatment involves surgical excision of the hydrocele sac. Complications can arise if hydroceles are not treated, such as rupture or testicular atrophy.
Post cholecystectomy syndrome
This document discusses post-cholecystectomy syndrome, beginning with case studies of patients who developed symptoms after gallbladder removal surgery. It then defines post-cholecystectomy syndrome as the persistence or development of new symptoms after cholecystectomy. The document outlines that 15% of patients develop symptoms, which can be due to functional disorders, prior surgery complications, or other underlying causes affecting the biliary tract, pancreas, or other organs. Investigation and management depends on identifying the specific cause, which can be found in 95% of cases, through imaging, endoscopy, or surgery to address conditions like sphincter of Oddi dysfunction.
Gastric Outlet Obstruction
Gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) is caused by any disease process that mechanically impedes gastric emptying. Common benign causes include peptic ulcer disease and gastric polyps, while pancreatic cancer is the most common malignant cause. GOO presents with non-bilious vomiting, weight loss, and dehydration. Management involves resuscitation with IV fluids and correcting metabolic abnormalities, then treating the underlying cause surgically if medical management fails or for palliation of malignant obstructions. Diagnosis in resource-limited areas relies on clinical exam findings, while challenges include limited imaging and laboratory resources.
Intra abdominal abscess
This document discusses abdominal abscesses, including:
- Definitions and types of abdominal abscesses
- Pathophysiology, factors that favor abscess formation, and clinical features
- Diagnostic tests including X-ray, CT scan, USG, and MRI
- Management including adequate resuscitation, antimicrobial therapy, and source control through percutaneous or surgical drainage
- Specific discussions of pyogenic liver abscesses, amoebic liver abscesses, prerequisites and complications of percutaneous drainage, and criteria for drain removal
Appendicitis
This document summarizes appendicitis, including the anatomy of the appendix, aetiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment. Key points include:
- The appendix is a tubular structure located in the lower right abdomen that can become inflamed (appendicitis).
- Appendicitis is caused by obstruction of the appendix lumen, often by a fecolith. Common symptoms include abdominal pain that starts around the navel and moves lower.
- Diagnosis is usually clinical but can be supported by blood tests showing leukocytosis and imaging like CT scans. Treatment involves intravenous fluids, antibiotics, and an appendectomy to remove the appendix.
Acute peritonitis
This document discusses acute peritonitis, including:
- Peritonitis is defined as inflammation of the peritoneum and can be localized or generalized. It is usually caused by bacterial infection entering through the gastrointestinal tract or other sources.
- Symptoms depend on whether it is localized or diffuse. Localized peritonitis causes pain specific to the affected organ, while diffuse peritonitis causes generalized abdominal pain and tenderness.
- Treatment involves antibiotics, fluid resuscitation, and sometimes surgery to address the underlying cause and drain any abscesses. Outcomes depend on several factors but mortality is around 10% with prompt treatment. Complications can include shock, bowel obstruction, and residual infections.
Perforated peptic ulcer by Dr.K.AmrithaAnilkumar
PERFORATED PEPTIC ULCER
PERFORATION
DEFINITION
It is the terminology used for perforation of duodenal ulcer or gastric ulcer or stomal ulcer.
Otherwise all clinical features and management are similar.
Perforation is common in duodenal ulcer
Mortality is more in gastric ulcer perforation and perforation in elderly
carcinoma of stomach
Gastric adenocarcinoma is cancer that develops in the lining of the stomach. The document discusses the anatomy of the stomach, risk factors for gastric cancer including H. pylori infection and diet, clinical presentation including symptoms like anemia and weight loss, diagnostic tests like endoscopy and biopsy, and treatment options. Treatment may involve surgery such as radical or subtotal gastrectomy depending on the location of the tumor, as well as chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Prognosis depends on factors like depth of invasion and lymph node involvement.
Cholangitis
Acute cholangitis is an infection of the bile ducts caused by obstruction and bacterial overgrowth. It presents with fever, jaundice, and right upper quadrant pain (Charcot's triad). Obstruction leads to increased pressure and bacterial growth in the bile ducts. Diagnosis involves blood tests, imaging like ultrasound or CT, and testing bile if drained. Treatment is antibiotics, hydration, and relieving obstruction endoscopically or surgically. Antibiotics are continued until obstruction is fully resolved to prevent recurrence.
Anorectal abscess
An anorectal abscess is a collection of pus in the anal or rectal region.
It may be caused by infection of an anal fissure, sexually transmitted infections or blocked anal glands.
An anorectal abscess is a collection of pus that builds up in the rectum and anus.
With prompt treatment, client with this condition usually recover very well.
Complications tend occur when treatment is delayed.
Merkel's diverticulum
Meckel's diverticulum is the most common congenital abnormality of the gastrointestinal tract, affecting approximately 2% of the population. It is a true diverticulum that forms from incomplete closure of the vitelline duct during fetal development. Meckel's diverticulum can contain heterotopic gastric or pancreatic tissue which can lead to ulceration and bleeding. Clinical presentations include hemorrhage, intestinal obstruction, diverticulitis, and intussusception. Diagnosis is often made through scans like a Meckel's scan or CT scan, and treatment involves surgical resection of the diverticulum.
Acute appendicitis
Thank you for the summary. Acute appendicitis is a common surgical emergency that requires timely diagnosis and management to prevent complications. A high index of suspicion is needed given its varied presentations.
Appendicitis and tumors of appendix mbbs
Acute appendicitis is caused by obstruction of the appendix lumen, usually by a fecalith, leading to bacterial overgrowth and inflammation. It most commonly affects adolescents and young adults. Early symptoms include periumbilical pain that moves to the lower right abdomen, nausea, vomiting, and fever. On physical exam, tenderness is found at McBurney's point. Without treatment, complications can arise like perforation or abscess. The most common tumor of the appendix is carcinoid tumor, while other rare tumors can cause appendicitis-like symptoms.

This document provides information about acute appendicitis, including its anatomy, etiology, pathology, clinical diagnosis, signs and symptoms, differential diagnosis, and special considerations for different patient populations like infants, the elderly, pregnant women, and children. Acute appendicitis is caused by obstruction of the appendix lumen, usually by a fecalith, leading to bacterial infection and inflammation. The classic presentation involves initially diffuse abdominal pain that localizes to the lower right abdomen. Diagnosis is based on clinical examination finding localized tenderness at McBurney's point with rebound tenderness. Differential diagnosis varies depending on patient age but includes conditions like diverticulitis, intestinal obstruction, and ovarian cysts.
L acute appendicitis
Acute appendicitis is caused by obstruction of the appendix lumen, usually by a fecalith, which increases intraluminal pressure and compromises blood flow. This leads to ischemic injury and bacterial proliferation, causing inflammation. Clinically, it presents with abdominal pain that starts around the umbilicus and later localizes to the right lower quadrant, along with nausea, fever, and tenderness. Without treatment, complications can include perforation leading to peritonitis or abscess formation. Pathologically, acute appendicitis is characterized by neutrophilic infiltration of the muscularis propria. Rare tumors of the appendix include carcinoid tumors and adenocarcinomas.
Acute appendicitis
The document discusses acute appendicitis, including:
- The anatomy and function of the appendix, which is a tubular structure arising from the cecum that serves an immunologic role.
- The most common causes of appendicitis are obstruction of the lumen by lymphoid hyperplasia, fecaliths, or other factors. This leads to increased intraluminal pressure, bacterial invasion, and eventual perforation in many cases.
- Typical clinical manifestations include shifting pain from the periumbilical region to the right lower quadrant, fever, leukocytosis, and rebound tenderness at McBurney's point. Imaging such as CT scans can help with diagnosis but lap

This document provides an overview of the anatomy, pathology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of acute appendicitis. It discusses the typical location and size of the appendix. It describes the causes, signs, and symptoms of appendicitis, as well as diagnostic tools like the Alvarado score. Treatment involves antibiotics, analgesia, and an appendectomy within 24 hours if indicated. Complications of appendicitis and appendectomy are also reviewed.
Acute appendicitis &lump
1. Acute appendicitis is caused by obstruction of the appendix lumen, leading to increased intraluminal pressure, edema, and bacterial invasion.
2. The classic presentation includes initially vague periumbilical pain that later localizes to the right lower quadrant, accompanied by anorexia, nausea, and low-grade fever.
3. On examination, tenderness is elicited over McBurney's point with guarding and rebound tenderness. Diagnosis is suggested by clinical scoring systems and confirmed by ultrasound or CT scan showing a thick-walled, inflamed appendix.
Appendix
Acute appendicitis is the most common surgical emergency of the abdomen. It occurs when the appendix becomes blocked and inflamed. Without treatment, the appendix can perforate. While mortality from perforated appendicitis was near certain in the past, improved medical care has reduced mortality to 1% or less today. However, rates of unnecessary appendectomies and perforation remain high. Acute appendicitis is diagnosed based on symptoms, signs on examination, and sometimes imaging tests. The standard treatment is appendectomy to remove the inflamed appendix.
Acute appendicitis
Acute appendicitis is inflammation of the appendix that is commonly caused by obstruction. It occurs in about 10% of the population between ages 10-20 but can occur at any age. The obstruction leads to bacterial proliferation, invasion of the appendix wall, and damage from pressure necrosis. Initial pain is periumbilical but shifts to the right lower quadrant as the inflamed appendix touches the peritoneum. Signs include maximum tenderness, guarding, and rebound tenderness in the right iliac fossa. The Alvarado score is used to evaluate the likelihood of appendicitis. Treatment is antibiotic therapy and an appendectomy.
Appendicitis
Acute appendicitis is the most common acute surgical condition of the abdomen. It involves inflammation and infection of the appendix. The appendix arises from the cecum in the right lower quadrant of the abdomen. Clinical diagnosis is based on symptoms of shifting abdominal pain, anorexia, vomiting, and localized tenderness in the right lower quadrant. Treatment involves appendectomy to remove the infected appendix.
Acute Appendicitis
The document discusses acute appendicitis, including its anatomy, function, stages of progression, causes, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment. The appendix arises from the cecum and is typically 6-9 cm long, functioning as an immunologic organ. Acute appendicitis begins with obstruction of the appendix and bacterial infection, which can progress to gangrene or perforation if not treated. Clinical symptoms include abdominal pain shifting to the lower right side. Diagnosis involves blood tests, imaging, and physical exam. Treatment is always surgical removal of the appendix to prevent further complications.
Rif mass
1. The document discusses various potential causes of a mass in the right iliac fossa, including appendicitis, appendicular abscess, carcinoid tumors of the appendix, mucoceles, adenocarcinoma, tuberculosis, Crohn's disease, carcinoma of the caecum, actinomycosis, amoebiasis, mesenteric cysts, intussusception, iliopsoas abscess, retroperitoneal tumors, aneurysms, and more rare causes.
2. Diagnostic tools mentioned include ultrasound, CT, colonoscopy, and biopsy. Treatment depends on the underlying cause but may include antibiotics, surgery, chemotherapy, and ATT.

Acute Appendicitis
The document provides information about acute appendicitis, including:
1) Acute appendicitis is the most common cause of intraabdominal infection and appendicectomy is a common emergency surgery. The clinical presentation can vary due to differences in patient age and degree of inflammation.
2) Signs of acute appendicitis include abdominal pain that starts around the navel and moves to the lower right side, nausea, vomiting, abdominal guarding and tenderness in the lower right quadrant.
3) Diagnosis is based on signs, symptoms, and imaging tests like ultrasound or CT scan. Differential diagnoses depend on patient age but can include conditions like gastroenteritis, mesenteric adenitis,

Acute appendicitis
Acute appendicitis is caused by obstruction of the appendix lumen, which increases intraluminal pressure and leads to vascular compromise and tissue necrosis. Initial symptoms are vague abdominal pain that localizes to the right lower quadrant as inflammation spreads. A physical exam may reveal tenderness at McBurney's point. Imaging studies like CT scans can help diagnose appendicitis, especially in atypical cases. Treatment is an appendectomy along with preoperative antibiotics to prevent infection.
Anatomy of appendix
The document discusses the anatomy and clinical presentation of appendicitis. It describes the location and blood supply of the appendix, noting that it can be in different positions which can affect the pain experienced. It also summarizes that the pain of appendicitis initially occurs centrally in the abdomen but becomes localized as inflammation spreads, and that variations in anatomy can cause atypical presentations of the condition.
Imaging in Appendicitis
Acute appendicitis occurs when the appendiceal lumen is obstructed, leading to inflammation. CT and ultrasound are effective imaging modalities for diagnosis. On CT, findings suggestive of appendicitis include an appendix over 7mm in diameter, wall thickening, enhancement, and periappendiceal fat stranding. Ultrasound findings include an enlarged, non-compressible appendix with increased wall flow on Doppler. Both modalities can detect complications like perforation seen as fluid collections or abscesses. Accurate imaging allows avoiding negative appendectomies.

appendicitis_compress.pdf
Appendicitis is an inflammation of the appendix that requires emergency removal of the inflamed appendix, either through laparotomy or laparoscopy surgery. Left untreated, appendicitis can lead to peritonitis and shock which are life threatening. The main symptoms are pain in the lower right abdomen, diarrhea, and tenderness upon palpation. Diagnosis is based on symptoms and physical exam supported by blood tests. Computed tomography (CT) scan is the most accurate test for diagnosis. Treatment involves surgery to remove the appendix, with most patients recovering fully within 10 to 28 days.
Apendicitis 2
This document provides background information and summarizes key principles regarding acute appendicitis. It begins by discussing the appendix's role in the digestive system and risk factors for appendicitis. The anatomy and pathophysiology of appendicitis are then described, noting that obstruction of the appendix is the underlying cause. Common presenting symptoms are reviewed, emphasizing that the classic presentation is seen in less than 50% of cases, making diagnosis challenging. Differential diagnoses and the role of laboratory tests, imaging, and clinical assessment in evaluation are also summarized. Throughout, it is stressed that diagnosis relies on integrating multiple factors rather than any single finding.
Intestinal obstruction
This document discusses intestinal obstruction, including its causes, classifications, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment. Some key points:
- Intestinal obstruction can be caused by adhesions, hernias, tumors, strictures and more. It is classified by the obstructed site and presence of blood flow issues.
- Symptoms include pain, vomiting, constipation and distension. Signs depend on obstruction location and duration. Strangulated obstructions require urgent surgery to prevent tissue death.
- Diagnosis involves medical history, physical exam, imaging like x-rays and CT scans. Treatment involves resuscitation, nasogastric drainage, and surgery to relieve the obstruction and address the underlying cause. S
Appendicitis
This document discusses appendicitis, including its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. The appendix is a small pouch connected to the cecum in the digestive system. Appendicitis occurs when the appendix becomes blocked and infected, causing swelling. Common symptoms include abdominal pain localized to the lower right side, nausea, loss of appetite, and fever. Doctors use physical exams, blood tests, imaging like CT scans, and ultrasounds to diagnose appendicitis and rule out other potential causes of abdominal pain. Untreated appendicitis can lead to a burst appendix, so surgical removal of the inflamed appendix (appendectomy) is usually required to treat appendicitis.
Renal Tuberculosis - Kidney and tubercular manifestations
The document describes three clinical cases involving renal issues. Case 1 involves a 67-year-old male with abdominal pain and a large retroperitoneal mass seen on CT scan. Case 2 involves a 34-year-old man with urinary symptoms, hematuria, and positive urine culture for M. tuberculosis, indicating renal tuberculosis. Case 3 involves a 53-year-old man admitted for vomiting and weakness, found to have renal dysfunction and biopsy showing tubular changes consistent with drug-induced interstitial nephritis. The remainder of the document provides details on renal tuberculosis, including epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, investigations and management.
Acute appendicitis __
1. Abdominal pain is the primary symptom of acute appendicitis, which typically begins in the lower abdomen and migrates to the right lower quadrant. Diagnosis is based on clinical signs and symptoms, and may be supplemented by imaging or bloodwork.
2. Treatment for acute appendicitis is surgical removal of the appendix, either through open appendectomy or laparoscopic appendectomy. Antibiotic administration before and after surgery can help prevent surgical site infections.
3. The differential diagnosis of right lower quadrant pain includes conditions like mesenteric adenitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, ovarian cysts, and intestinal illnesses. Timely diagnosis and treatment are important to prevent complications from appendiceal rupture
Necrotizing Enterocolitis
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a common gastrointestinal emergency in neonates, especially preterm infants. It involves necrosis of the intestinal mucosa associated with inflammation and infection. Risk factors include prematurity, enteral feeding, and intestinal ischemia. Clinically, NEC presents with abdominal and systemic signs. Diagnosis is based on clinical features and radiographic findings like pneumatosis intestinalis. Treatment involves cessation of feeding, antibiotics, and possible surgery for perforation or failure to improve. Prognosis depends on gestational age and severity of disease. Prevention focuses on exclusive breastfeeding when possible.

The 15-year-old boy presented with gradually worsening lower right abdominal pain for 4 days, along with nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite. On examination, he had tenderness in the right iliac fossa and rebound tenderness. Acute appendicitis should be considered, as the presentation is consistent with the classic progression of abdominal pain from periumbilical to localized right lower quadrant pain, along with common associated symptoms of anorexia, nausea, and vomiting. Laboratory tests such as a CBC can help evaluate for elevated white blood cells, though the diagnosis of appendicitis is primarily based on the history and physical exam findings.

Identification and nursing management of congenital malformations Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

Novas diretrizes da OMS para os cuidados perinatais de mais qualidade
Novas diretrizes da OMS para os cuidados perinatais de mais qualidadeProf. Marcus Renato de Carvalho
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.
