Nursing assessment and Management clients with Pancreatic disordersANILKUMAR BR
The pancreas, located in the upper abdomen, has endocrine as well as exocrine functions .
The secretion of pancreatic enzymes into the gastrointestinal tract through the pancreatic duct represents its exocrine function.
The secretion of insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin directly into the bloodstream represents its endocrine function.
Pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) is a serious disorder. The most basic classification system used to describe or categorize the various stages and forms of pancreatitis divides the disorder into acute or chronic forms.
Acute pancreatitis can be a medical emergency associated with a high risk for life-threatening complications and mortality, whereas chronic pancreatitis often goes undetected until 80% to 90% of the exocrine and endocrine tissue is destroyed.
Acute pancreatitis does not usually lead to chronic pancreatitis unless complications develop.
Intestinal obstruction is a significant or mechanical blockage of intestine that occurs when food or stool can not move through the intestine.
These obstruction may be complete or partial.
Nursing assessment and management of patients with hepatic disordersANILKUMAR BR
Liver or Hepatic disorders are common and may result from a virus or exposure to toxic substances such as alcohol.
Another liver disorder is cancer: hepatocellular carcinoma is a highly malignant tumor that is difficult to treat and often fatal.
Liver function is complex, and liver dysfunction affects all body systems.
For this reason, the nurse must understand how the liver functions and must have expert assessment and clinical management skills to care for patients undergoing complex diagnostic and treatment procedures.
The liver plays additional roles in detoxification of chemicals and synthesis and storage of important nutrients and The liver is especially important in the regulation of glucose and protein metabolism .
This PPT contains all necessary detail about cholecystitis and its management and covers all aspects of this disease according to nursing point of view. Helpful for studetns.

Ulcerative colitis (UL-sur-uh-tiv koe-LIE-tis) is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes inflammation and ulcers (sores) in your digestive tract. Ulcerative colitis affects the innermost lining of your large intestine (colon) and rectum. Symptoms usually develop over time, rather than suddenly.
Nausea and vomiting are the most common manifestations of gastrointestinal (GI) diseases. Although nausea and vomiting can occur independently, they are usually closely related and treated as one problem.

Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

Examples of vector-borne diseases include Dengue fever, West Nile Virus, Lyme disease, and malaria.
3. INTRODUCTION:
Pancreatitis (inflammation of the
pancreas) is a serious disorder.
The most basic classification
system used to describe or
categorize the various stages and
forms of pancreatitis divides the
disorder into acute or chronic
forms.
4. Acute pancreatitis can be a medical
emergency associated with a high
risk for life-threatening complications
and mortality, whereas chronic
pancreatitis often goes undetected
until 80% to 90% of the exocrine and
endocrine tissue is destroyed.
5. Acute pancreatitis does not
usually lead to chronic
pancreatitis unless complications
develop. However, chronic
pancreatitis can be characterized
by acute episodes.
6. Typically, patients are men 40 to
45 years of age with a history of
alcoholism or women 50 to 55
years of age with a history of
biliary disease (Hale et al.
2000).
7. ACUTE PANCREATITIS:
Acute pancreatitis ranges
from a mild, self-limiting disorder to
a severe, rapidly fatal disease that
does not respond to any treatment.
Mild acute pancreatitis is
characterized by edema and
inflammation confined to the
pancreas
8. CAUSES
Excessive alcohol consumption of
the most common cause in the
United states
Also commonly used by biliary tract
Disease such as the cholelithiasis,
acute and chronic cholecystitis.
Less common cause of the bacterial
and viral infection
9. CAUSES
• Peptic ulcer diseases
• Ischemic vascular diseases
• Obstruction-
• Choledocholithiasis (bile stone in
duct), Tumors, Sphincter of Oddi
stenosis.
13. Eighty percent of patients with
acute pancreatitis have biliary
tract disease; however, only 5%
of patients with gallstones
develop pancreatitis.
14.
15. Activation of the enzymes can
lead to vasodilation, increased
vascular permeability, necrosis,
erosion, and hemorrhage
16. CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS:
Severe abdominal pain is the major
symptom of pancreatitis that causes the
patient to seek medical care.
Abdominal pain and tenderness and back
pain result from irritation and edema of
the inflamed pancreas that stimulate the
nerve endings.
Typically, the pain occurs in the
midepigastrium.
17.
18. Pain is frequently acute in onset,
occurring 24 to 48 hours after a
very heavy meal or alcohol
ingestion.
It is generally more severe after
meals and is unrelieved by
antacids.
19. Abdominal guarding is present.
Nausea and vomiting are
common in acute pancreatitis.
The emesis is usually gastric in
origin but may also be bile-
stained.
Fever,
jaundice,
20. mental confusion,
Hypotension is typical and reflects
hypovolemia and shock caused by the
loss of large amounts of protein-rich
fluid into the tissues and peritoneal
cavity.
The patient may develop tachycardia,
cyanosis, and cold, clammy skin in
addition to hypotension.
Acute renal failure is common
21. Respiratory distress and hypoxia are
common,
dyspnea,
tachypnea,
and abnormal blood gas values.
Myocardial depression,
hypocalcemia,
hyperglycemia,
and disseminated intravascular
coagulopathy (DIC) may also occur with
acute pancreatitis
22. DIGNOSTIC EVALUATION;
Serum amylase and lipase levels are
used in making the diagnosis of acute
pancreatitis.
In 90% of the cases, serum amylase
and lipase levels usually rise in excess of
three times their normal upper limit
within 24 hours (Tierney, McPhee &
Papadakis, 2001)
23. Serum amylase usually returns
to normal within 48 to 72 hours.
Serum lipase levels may remain
elevated for 7 to 14 days
(Braunwald et al., 2001).
Urinary amylase levels also
become elevated and remain
elevated longer than serum
amylase levels
24. X-ray studies of the abdomen
and chest may be obtained to
differentiate pancreatitis from
other disorders that may
cause similar symptoms and
to detect pleural effusions
25.
26. Ultrasound and contrast-enhanced computed
tomography scans are used to identify an
increase in the diameter of the pancreas and
to detect pancreatic cysts, abscesses.
Hematocrit and hemoglobin levels are used
to monitor the patient for bleeding
The stools of patients with pancreatic
disease are often bulky, pale, and foul-
smelling.
ERCP is rarely used
27.
28.
29. MEDICAL MANAGEMENT:
Depending upon the severity of
episode, management focuses on
alleviation of symptoms and support of
patient to prevent complication.
All oral intake is withheld to inhibit
pancreatic stimulation and secretion of
pancreatic enzymes
34. COMPLICATION
Fluid and electrolyte disturbances
Necrosis of the pancreas
Shock and multiple organ dysfunction
Damage of the surrounding Organ
colon and bowel due to inflammation.
Infected Pancreatic Necrosis
Pancreatic Abscess
36. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY AND
ETIOLOGY
Alcohol abuse is the most common
cause;
less common causes are
hyperparathyroidism, hereditary
pancreatitis, malnutrition, and
trauma to the pancreas.
37. With chronic inflammation,
destruction of the secreting cells of
the pancreas causes maldigestion
and malabsorption of protein and fat
and possibly diabetes mellitus if islet
cells of the pancreas have been
affected.
As cells are replaced by fibrous
tissue, obstruction of the pancreatic
and common bile ducts and
duodenum may result.
38. CLINICAL MANIFESTOTIONS:
Pain is usually located in the
epigastrium or left upper quadrant,
frequently radiating to the back;
similar to that observed in acute
pancreatitis, but more constant
and occurring at unpredictable
interval.
As the disease progresses,
recurring attacks of pain will be
more severe, more frequent, and
of longer duration.
39. Weight loss, nausea, vomiting,
and anorexia.
Malabsorption and steatorrhea
{fatty stool} occur late in the
course often disease.
Diabetes mellitus.
40. DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION:
Serum amylase and lipase may be
normal to low because of decreased
pancreatic exocrine function.
Fecal fat analysis determines need
for pancreatic enzyme replacement.
Bilirubin and alkaline phosphatase
may be elevated biliary obstruction
occurs.
41.
42. Secretin and cholecystokinin stimulatory
test results are abnormal.
Plain abdominal X-ray to determine
diffuse calcification of the pancreas.
CT scan identifies pancreatic structural
changes, such as calcifications, masses,
ductal irregularities, enlargement and
pseudocysts.
ERCP
43.
44. MANAGEMENT
Pain management.
Correction of nutritional
deficiencies,
Pancreatic enzyme replacement.
Treatment of diabetes mellitus.
Endoscopic placement of pancreatic
stent allowing free flow of
pancreatic juices through distorted
and irregular narrowed pancreatic
duct
45.
46. SURGICAL MANAGEMENT
to reduce pain pancreatic secretions,
correct structural Abnormalities
and manage complications.
Pancreaticojejunostomy - side-to-side
anastomosis of pancreatic duct to
jejunum to drain pancreatic secretions
into jejunum
47. Drainage of pancreatic pseudocyst
into nearby structures or by external
drain.
Resection of part of pancreas
(Whipple procedure, distal
pancreatectomy) or removal of
entire pancreas
(total pancreatectomy).
Autotransplantation of islet cells.
51. Nursing Assessment
Assess level of abdominal
pain.
Assess nutritional status.
Assess for signs and
symptoms of diabetes
mellitus
Asess current level of alcohol
intake.
