Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are chronic inflammatory disorders of the gastrointestinal tract of unknown origin. They result from an abnormal immune response against gut bacteria in genetically susceptible individuals. Crohn's disease causes transmural inflammation that can involve any part of the GI tract, while ulcerative colitis causes superficial inflammation limited to the colon and rectum. Acute appendicitis is caused by obstruction of the appendix leading to bacterial overgrowth and inflammation. It presents with abdominal pain localized to the right lower quadrant and is diagnosed by neutrophil infiltration of the muscularis propria seen on pathology.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an idiopathic disease caused by a dysregulated immune response to host intestinal microflora.
The two major types of inflammatory bowel disease are:
ulcerative colitis (UC), which is limited to the colon.
Crohn disease (CD), which can affect any segment of the gastrointestinal tract from the mouth to the anus, involves skip lesions

Crohn’s disease is a disease that causes inflammation,
or swelling, and irritation of any part of the digestive tract—also called the
gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The part most commonly affected is the end part of
the small intestine, called the ileum.
Crohn’s disease is one of two main forms of
diseases of the GI tract named inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The other
form, called ulcerative colitis, affects the large intestine, which includes the colon and the
rectum—the lower end of the large intestine, leading to the anus.
With Crohn’s disease, chronic—or long
lasting—inflammation may cause scar tissue to form in the lining of the
intestine. When scar tissue builds up, the passage can become narrow, causing
food and stool to move through the GI tract more slowly—which can lead to pain,
cramps, and diarrhea.
Crohn’s Forum is a community that is made entirely of people who are affected in some way by Crohn's Disease. In addition to being a great place for information and support from people who live with this disease, the forum has several special features:
-A support forum where users have the option to post anonymously to get some support or advice from other members
-Meet and communicate with others who are affected by Crohn's Disease all over the world!

REGIONAL ENTERITIS (Crohn’s Disease)
DEFINITION
It is a granulomatous, non-caseating (transmural) inflammatory condition of the ileum commonly and of the colon often.
It is independent of age, sex, socioeconomic status and geographic areas.
Ulcerative colitis explanation, management and therapyYuliaDjatiwardani2
A chronic, inflammatory bowel disease that causes inflammation in the digestive tract.
Ulcerative colitis is usually only in the innermost lining of the large intestine (colon) and rectum. Forms range from mild to severe. Having ulcerative colitis puts a patient at increased risk of developing colon cancer.
Symptoms include rectal bleeding, bloody diarrhoea, abdominal cramps and pain.
Treatment includes medication and surgery.

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.

2. • Crohn disease and ulcerative colitis are
chronic relapsing inflammatory disorders of
unknown orgin, collectively known as
idiopathic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD),
which share many common features.
4. They result from an abnormal local immune response against the
normal flora of the gut, and probably against some self antigens, in
genetically susceptible individuals.
The pathogenesis of IBD involves genetic susceptibility, failure of
immune regulation, and triggering by microbial flora.
7. • When fully developed , Crohn disease is
characterized by:
• Sharply limited transmural involvement of
the bowel by an inflammatory process with
mucosal damage
• Presence of noncaseating granulomas
• Fistula formation
8. Common symptoms of Crohn's disease:
•abdominal pain
•diarrhoea
•weight loss
9. Less common symptoms include:
• poor appetite
• fever,
• night sweats
• rectal pain/rectal bleeding
10. ExtraintEstinal
symptoms
Some patients with Crohn's disease also develop
symptoms outside of the
gastrointestinal tract;these
symptoms include:
• arthritis
• skin rash
• inflammation of the iris of the eye.
12. • Ulcerative Colitis is an ulceroinflammatory
disease affecting the colon, which is
limited to the mucosa and
submucosa, except in the most severe
cases.
13. • It begins in the rectum and extends
proximally in a continuous fashion
sometimes involving the entire colon.
14.
15. Epidemiology
• More common in USA & Western countries.
The incidence has risen in recent decades.
More common among whites. No sex
predilection. A peak incidence between ages
20-25 years. Has a familial association.
16. Morphology
• Gross:
• Rectum & Sigmoid --may involve entire colon.
• The lesions are continuous.
• inflammatory destruction of the mucosa with
macroscopic appearance of :
• Hyperemia, edema, and granularity with
friability and easy bleeding.
17. • With severe active disease:
• Extensive and broad based ulceration in the
distal colon.
• Pseudopolyps
• Toxic megacolon
18. • A diffuse, predominantly mononuclear
inflammatory infiltrate in the lamina propria
and Crypt abscesses.
23. Comparison of CD &UC
• Crohn disease and ulcerative colitis differ in
many respects, including the natural history of
the disease, pathological aspects, and in the
types of therapies and responses to
treatment.

29. Acute Appendicitis
The appendix is a normal true diverticulum of
the cecum that is prone to acute and chronic
inflammation. Acute appendicitis is most
common in adolescents and young adults, but
may occur in any age group. The lifetime risk for
appendicitis is 7%;
males are affected slightly more often than
females.
30. • Despite the prevalence of acute appendicitis,
the diagnosis can be difficult to confirm
preoperatively and may be confused with
mesenteric lymphadenitis, acute salpingitis,
ectopic pregnancy, mittelschmerz (pain
caused by minor pelvic bleeding at the time
of ovulation), and Meckel diverticulitis.
31. Pathogenesis
Acute appendicitis is thought to be initiated by
progressive increases in intraluminal pressure
that compromise venous outflow. In 50% to
80% of cases, acute appendicitis is associated
with overt luminal obstruction,
usually caused by a small stone-like mass of
stool, or fecalith, or, less commonly, a
gallstone, tumor, or mass of worms (oxyuriasis
vermicularis).
32. • Ischemic injury and stasis of luminal
contents, which favor bacterial proliferation,
trigger inflammatory responses
including tissue edema and neutrophilic
infiltration of the lumen, muscular wall, and
periappendiceal soft tissues.
33. Morphology
In early acute appendicitis subserosal vessels are
congested and there is a modest perivascular
neutrophilic infiltrate within all layers of the
wall.
The inflammatory reaction transforms the normal
glistening serosa into a dull, granular,
erythematous surface.
34. • Diagnosis of acute appendicitis requires
neutrophilic infiltration of the muscularis
propria.
35. • In more severe cases a prominent
neutrophilic exudate generates a serosal
fibrinopurulent reaction. As the process
continues, focal abscesses may form within
the wall (acute suppurative appendicitis).
36. • Further appendiceal compromise leads to
large areas of hemorrhagic ulceration and
gangrenous necrosis that extends to the
serosa creating acute gangrenous
appendicitis, which is often followed by
rupture and suppurative peritonitis.
37. Clinical Features
• Typically, early acute appendicitis produces
periumbilical pain that ultimately localizes to
the right lower quadrant, followed by
nausea, vomiting, low-grade fever, and a
mildly elevated peripheral white cell count
39. • Regrettably, these signs and symptoms are
often absent, creating difficulty in clinical
diagnosis. In some cases, a retrocecal
appendix may generate right flank or pelvic
pain, while a malrotated colon may give rise
to appendicitis in the left upper quadrant. In
other cases the peripheral leukocytosis may
be minimal or, alternatively, so great that
other causes are considered.
40. • The diagnosis of acute appendicitis in young
children and the very elderly is particularly
problematic, since other causes of abdominal
emergencies are prevalent in these
populations, and the very young and old are
also more likely to have atypical
clinical presentations.
41. • Given these diagnostic challenges, it should
be no surprise that even highly skilled
surgeons remove normal appendices. This is
preferred to delayed resection of a diseased
appendix, given the significant morbidity and
mortality associated with appendiceal
perforation. Other complications of
appendicitis include pyelophlebitis, portal
venous thrombosis, liver abscess, and
bacteremia.
