This document provides information about hepatitis. It defines hepatitis as inflammation of the liver and outlines several causes including bacteria, toxins, autoimmune disorders, and viruses. It describes two classifications of hepatitis as acute (lasting 1-4 months) or chronic (for life). The pathophysiology and clinical manifestations of toxic, autoimmune, and viral hepatitis are explained. Management of the different types focuses on identifying and removing toxic agents, using corticosteroids and antiviral drugs, and providing supportive care. Nursing management addresses potential problems like altered nutrition and includes educating patients about their condition. Prevention emphasizes good hygiene, immunizations, and safe sexual practices to avoid contracting viral hepatitis.

Diarrhea is an increased frequency and decreased consistency of fecal discharge as compared with an individual’s normal bowel pattern.
It is often a symptom of a systemic disease.
Acute diarrhea is commonly defined as shorter than 14 days’ duration.
Persistent diarrhea as longer than 14 days’ duration.
Chronic diarrhea as longer than 30 days’ duration.
Most cases of acute diarrhea are caused by infections with viruses, bacteria, or protozoa, and are generally self-limited.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.

immune system may mistake the liver as a
harmful object and begins to attack it.
• Virus - common (viruses include; hepatitis
A(HAV), B(HBV), C(HCV) D(HDV),E(HEV)
7. Toxic Hepatitis
Pathophysiology
• Drugs, poisons, alcohol alters the structure
and function of the liver. These
substances causes necrosis of the liver
cells, impairs secretion of bile and others
lowers serum birilubin.
9. Toxic Hepatitis cont’d
Management
• Attention focuses on identifying toxic agent
and remove it
• Gastric lavage and cleaning of the bowel
is indicated to remove toxins from the GIT
• Provide supportive treatment and focused
on the clinical manifestations

promoting of comfort, maintaining normal
fluid and electrolyte balance, promoting
well balanced diet, promoting rest.
11. Cont’d
Provide patient education on potential
toxic hepatitis from improper home use,
exposure to chemicals in industries
• Nursing management depends on
presenting problems
12. Auto immune
• Exact cause is unknown-the immune
system may mistake the liver as a harmful
object and begins to attack it, hindering
liver function.
Pathophysiology
• For unknown reasons the immune
system may mistake the liver as a harmful
object and begins to attack it.
13. Auto immune cont’d
• The autoimmune response is directed at
liver antigens and causes progressive
necrosis and inflammation of hepatocytes.
• This result in fibrosis and necrosis
Clinical manifestations
• Other patients are asymptomatic
• Ranging from mild to advanced cirrhosis
14. Auto immune cont’d
• NOTE: early diagnosis is needed because
they respond well on corticosteroids

• Hepatitis B-transmitted through perinatally
by mothers, pericutaneously(IV drug use,
accidental needle-stick punctures or
horizontally by mucosal exposure to
infectious blood, blood products or other
body fluids.
• Hepatitis c-transmitted sharing of
contaminated needle
20. Viral hepatitis cont’d
Pathophysiology
• The pathophysiologic changes in the
various types of viral hepatitis are similar.
• The virus causes diffuse inflammatory
infiltration of the hepatic tissue, leads to
necrosis.
21. VIRAL hepatitis cont’d
• The inflammation, degeneration and
regeneration distort the normal lobular
pattern creating pressure within and
around the portal vein areas and
obstructing the bile channels
22. VIRAL hepatitis cont’d
• In early phases of hepatitis, systemic
effects such as fever, malaise, arthritis,
glomerulonephritis occurs due to antigen-
antibody complexes between the virus and
it’s corresponding antibody formed.
23. VIRAL hepatitis cont’d
• Clinical manifestations can be classified as
acute and chronic
Acute
• During incubation period symptoms
include;
Malaise
anorexia,
25. VIRAL hepatitis cont’d
Light or gray coloured stools- due to
obstruction of bile flow
Hepatomegally
• Flue-like symptoms
• Weight loss
• Jaundice-caused by disturbance in
birilubin metabolism
26. VIRAL hepatitis cont’d
• Dark urine- excretion of birilubin in urine
Note: Not all patients with viral hepatitis
have jaundice.
Chronic
• Malaise
• hepatomegally
27. Viral hepatitis cont’d
Management
Acute
• Most patients can be managed at home;
• Encourage rest to reduce metabolic
demand on the liver and promotes cell
regeneration
28. Viral hepatitis cont’d
• Encourage patient to eat a well balanced
diet that he/she can tolerate to promote
healing and liver regeneration
• If liver is not impaired, a well balanced diet
is adequate.
• Proteins and sodium is restricted if liver
function is impaired
29. Viral hepatitis cont’d
• Counseling on; importance of avoiding
alcohol
• Drug therapy; no specific treatment for
acute viral hepatitis however supportive
therapy include antiemetics.
• NOTE: Ensure administration of essential
drugs only because most drugs are
metabolized in liver
30. Viral hepatitis cont’d
• Vitamin K is given if the prothrombin time
is prolonged
• Note: Almost all cases of acute hepatitis A
resolves, although a small number may
have a viral relapse in the first 2 to 3
months later after infection.
• Many HBV result in chronic(life long)
31. Cont’d
Management of Chronic hepatitis
Chronic hepatitis B

the liver is stressed or damaged.
• Liver enzyme test- elevated in Hepatitis A
and B
38. Diagnostic measures cont’d
Ultrasound
• An abdominal ultrasound -test will reveal
fluid in the abdomen, an enlarged liver, or
liver damage.
Blood Tests
• Blood tests used to detect the presence of
hepatitis virus antibodies and antigen in
the blood will indicate or confirm which
virus is the cause of the hepatitis
39. Nursing management
• N.D Altered nutrition less than the body
requirements related vomiting, anorexia
and reduced metabolism of nutrients by
the liver as evidenced by inadequate food
intake, weight loss
• Goal……………….
40. Nursing management cont’d

prevent stress on liver function
• Limit environmental stimuli(noise,light) to
facilitate relaxation
• Monitor patient for evidence of excess
physical and emotional fatigue to prevent
increasing weakness and fatigue

disease process, treatment after 6hours
of nursing interventions
45. Nursing management cont’d
Interventions
• Explain the disease process and
management in simple terms
• Instruct patient on measures to control/
minimize symptoms to enable the liver to
repair itself and prevent relapse
46. Prevention For viral Hepatitis
Hygiene
• Practicing good hygiene is the main way to
avoid catching hepatitis.
- Hand washing after contact with a patient
or removal of gloves
- Use infection control precaution
• If you are travelling to a country with low
sanitary standards, avoid:
47. Prevention cont’d
• drinking local water /ice
• raw fruit and vegetables
• Hepatitis contracted through contaminated
blood can be prevented by:
not sharing drug needles
not sharing razors
not using someone else’s toothbrush
not touching spilled blood
48. Prevention cont’d
• Protected sexual intercourse
• Active immunization- at risk groups
Vaccinations are available to prevent the
development of hepatitis A and B.
Note: Experts are currently developing
vaccines against hepatitis C, D, and E.
49. Complications of Hepatitis
• Chronic hepatitis B or C can often lead to
more serious health problems. Because
the virus primarily affects the liver, people
with chronic hepatitis B or C are at risk for:
• chronic liver disease
• cirrhosis (scarring of the liver)
50. Complication cont’d
• cancer of the liver (in rare cases)
• When the liver stops functioning normally
liver failure can occur. Complications of
liver failure include:
• bleeding disorders
• build-up of fluid in the abdomen (the liver
can no longer rid the body of toxins and
fluids; fluid can become infected)
51. Complication cont’d
• hepatocellular carcinoma, liver cancer
(occurs in 80 percent of patients with
cirrhosis and is commonly seen as a result
of viral hepatitis)
