Ulcerative colitis is a type of inflammatory bowel disease that causes long-lasting inflammation and ulcers in the digestive tract, specifically the inner lining of the large intestine and rectum. It has various types defined by the parts of the colon affected. The causes include genetic and environmental factors such as diet as well as it being an autoimmune disease. Symptoms include bloody diarrhea, abdominal pain, and weight loss. Diagnosis involves medical history, physical exam, blood tests, stool culture, sigmoidoscopy, and biopsies. Treatment consists of medications to reduce inflammation and suppress the immune system, antibiotics, dietary changes, exercise and stress relief. Surgery may be required in severe cases to remove the colon. Nursing care focuses

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
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.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. DEFINITION
“ Ulcerative colitis” or “colitis ulcerosa” is an
inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes long-
lasting inflammation and ulcers (sores) in your digestive
tract.”
It affects the innermost lining of your large intestine
(colon) and rectum. It can be debilitating and can
sometimes lead to life-threatening complications.
3. TYPES
1. Ulcerative proctitis
- Inflammation is confined to the area closest to the anus
(rectum), and rectal bleeding may be the only sign of the
disease.
- This form of ulcerative colitis tends to be the mildest.
4. 2. Proctosigmoiditis
- Inflammation involves the rectum and sigmoid colon
(lower end of the colon).
- Signs and symptoms include bloody diarrhea,
abdominal cramps and pain, and an inability to move
the bowels in spite of the urge to do so (tenesmus).
5. 3. Left-sided colitis
- Inflammation extends from the rectum up through
the sigmoid and descending colon.
- Signs and symptoms include bloody diarrhea,
abdominal cramping and pain on the left side, and
unintended weight loss.
6. 4. Pancolitis
Pancolitis often affects the entire colon and causes bouts of
bloody diarrhea that may be severe, abdominal cramps and
pain, fatigue, and significant weight loss.
5. Acute severe ulcerative colitis
This rare form of colitis affects the entire colon and causes
severe pain, profuse diarrhea, bleeding, fever and inability
to eat.
7.
8. CAUSES
1. Genetic factors
- Aggregation of ulcerative colitis in families.
- Identical twin concordance rate of 10% and dizygotic
twin concordance rate of 3%
2. Environmental factors
Diet:-High intake of unsaturated fat and vitamin B6, Sulfur
restricted diets
3. Autoimmune disease - characterized by T-cells infiltrating
the colon
9. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Due to causes
Inflammation spreads up the rectum, colon and
continuous pattern
Mucosa of colon hyperaemic and oedematous
Multiple abscess and ulceration
Destroy mucosal bleeding epithelium causing bleeding and
diarrhoea
Granulation of tissue develops and mucosa becomes
thickened, shortening in colon
10. CLINICAL MANIFESTATION
The main symptom of ulcerative colitis is
bloody diarrhea There might be some pus in your stools,
too. Other problems include:-
1. Crampy belly pain
2. Sudden urges to empty colon right away
3. Anorexia
4. Weight loss
5. Feeling tired
11. 6. Fever 7. Dehydration
8. Joint pain or soreness 9. Canker sores
10. Eye pain when look at a bright light
11. Too few red blood cells, called anemia
12. Skin sores
13. Feeling like haven’t completely emptied your colon after
use the bathroom
14. Waking up at night to go
15. Not being able to hold your stools in
13. 8. Stool culture :- to rule out parasites and infectious causes.
9. Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate:-
10. C-reactive protein :- can be measured, with an elevated
level being another indication of inflammation.
11. Sigmoidoscopy :- a type of endoscopy which can detect the
presence of ulcers in the large intestine after a trial of an enema.
12. Biopsies of the mucosa
14. COMPLICATIONS
1. Severe bleeding
2. A hole in the colon (perforated colon)
3. Severe dehydration
4. Liver disease (rare)
5. Bone loss (osteoporosis)
6. Inflammation of skin, joints and eyes
7. An increased risk of colon cancer
8. A rapidly swelling colon (toxic megacolon)
9. Increased risk of blood clots in veins and arteries
15. MANAGEMENT
Medical management
1. Anti-inflammatory drugs
- Corticosteroids ex. prednisone and budesonide
2. Immune system suppressors (target your immune
system, which produces the substances that cause
inflammation.)
Ex. Azathioprine (Azasan, Imuran) and mercaptopurine
(Purinethol, Purixan)
16. 3. Antibiotics Ex. ciprofloxacin (Cipro) and metronidazole
(Flagyl).
5. Other medications
Anti-diarrheals :- A fiber supplement, such as psyllium
powder (Metamucil) or methylcellulose (Citrucel)
Pain relievers :- acetaminophen (Tylenol,)
Iron supplements
Vitamin B-12 shots
Calcium and vitamin D supplements
17. SURGICAL MANAGEMENT
1.Proctocolectomy
It means removing your entire colon and rectum
2.Ileal pouch anal anastomosis
This procedure eliminates the need to wear a bag to collect
stool. surgeon constructs a pouch from the end of your small
intestine. The pouch is then attached directly to anus, allowing
to expel waste relatively normally.
18. LIFESTYLE AND HOME REMEDIES
1. Foods to limit or avoid
- Limit dairy products , Limit fibre, if it's a problem food, Avoid
other problem foods. Spicy foods, alcohol and caffeine

- Eat small meals, Drink plenty of liquids, Talk to a dietician
3. Stress
Exercise, Biofeedback, Regular relaxation and breathing
exercises
20. 8. Enhancing coping measure
9. Preventing skin breakdown
10. Monitoring and managing potential complications
11. Promoting home and community based care
12.Providing preoperative/ postoperative care
21. NURSING DIAGNOSIS
1. Diarrhoea R/T the inflammatory process
2. Acute pain R/T increased peristalsis and GI inflammation
3. Deficient fluid volume R/T anorexia, nausea and diarrhoea
4. Imbalance nutrition pattern less than body requirements
R/T dietary restrictions, nausea and malabsorptions
5. Activity intolerance R/T generalized weakness
