Perspectives 29 Treating a Patient with an Intestinal Obstruction
Intestinal obstructions account for 20% of all acute surgical admissions. Mortality and morbidity are dependent on the early recognition and correct diagnosis of obstruction. If untreated, strangulated obstructions cause death in 100% of patients; however, the mortality rate decreases to 8% with prompt surgical intervention. Intestinal obstruction is caused by a variety of pathologic processes including postoperative adhesions, malignancy, Crohn's disease, and hernias. Dr. Kent outlines the diagnosis and perioperative treatment of patients with intestinal obstruction. Ms. Lau discusses the advantages of closed enteral feeding systems over open systems, including less bacterial contamination and safer increased hang times, which have the potential to improve patient outcomes and safety.
Organ Transplant Recipients’ Challenges
Organ transplant recipients face several challenges in maintaining a normal life, despite the life-saving benefits of the procedure.
Depending on the type of transplant and health status, recipients will be given a schedule of follow-up exams.

Food safety and hygiene are important for public health. An estimated 600 million people get sick from contaminated food each year resulting in 420,000 deaths. Foodborne illnesses disproportionately impact children and cost $110 billion annually in low and middle income countries. Food safety involves preventing contamination during production, handling, storage and preparation to prevent disease and retain nutrients for a healthy diet. Food hygiene specifically concerns foodborne illness from bacteria, chemicals and physical hazards. Ensuring food safety protects vulnerable populations, prevents economic losses from illness, and complies with regulations to maintain public trust in the food system.
Nutrition in head and neck cancer
1. Malnutrition is common in head and neck cancer patients due to mechanical obstruction, sensory impairment, pain with swallowing, and the effects of cancer treatments like surgery, radiation and chemotherapy.
2. Factors contributing to malnutrition include reduced oral intake, anorexia, nausea, inadequate chewing and swallowing difficulties. Cancer cachexia, where the body breaks down muscle and fat stores, further worsens malnutrition.
3. Malnutrition is associated with increased complications, longer hospital stays, decreased survival, and poorer outcomes for head and neck cancer patients. Early nutritional intervention is important.

We are what we eat - how diet is shaping our health
The document discusses insights from nutrigenomics research on how diet shapes our health. It makes three key points:
1) Our "paleolithic" hunter-gatherer genes interact with modern diets high in processed foods and lack of challenges from varied whole foods. This mismatch may contribute to disease.
2) Components in plant foods like fibers can have anti-inflammatory effects and influence the gut microbiome in ways that promote health. Dietary challenges from varied whole foods that activate genes like PPARg are more beneficial than safe but nutritionally "empty" processed foods.
3) The gut microbiome plays an important role in mediating the effects of diet on health and disease. For example
ERAS : Role of anaesthesiaologist
The document discusses the role of anesthesiologists in Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols, which are multimodal perioperative care pathways designed to achieve early recovery after surgery through interventions in the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative periods to minimize physiological stress and complications. Key anesthesiologist interventions include opioid-sparing anesthesia, regional analgesia, fluid management, prevention of hypothermia and nausea/vomiting, and avoiding unnecessary tubes or lines. ERAS protocols have been shown to reduce complications, hospital stay, and improve quality of life outcomes compared to traditional care.

Managing Mesothelioma Treatment Side Effects
This document discusses managing side effects of mesothelioma treatments through nutrition. It covers common treatments for mesothelioma like chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation, and surgery. Each treatment can cause side effects that impact quality of life. Side effects from chemotherapy include nausea, low blood counts, and neuropathy. Nutrition strategies like eating small, frequent meals can help manage immunotherapy side effects. Radiation side effects include fatigue, and packing portable protein snacks is advised. Surgery side effects involve risks of infection, which nutrition before and after can reduce. Unintended weight loss from treatments can be prevented by meeting calorie and protein needs.
Use of antibiotics
The use of antibiotics is appropriate when a medical condition requires more than healthy eating alone, such as with wound infections, insect/snake bites, acute Lyme disease, or prevention of post-operative infections. Antibiotics are also necessary for life-threatening conditions like tuberculosis, meningitis, sepsis, and some cancers. When antibiotics are needed, a nutritionist should recommend probiotics to avoid conflicts, as well as vitamins, minerals, herbs, and prebiotic foods to support treatment. Dietary guidance is also important to help patients make informed choices about their health while taking antibiotics. The nutritionist's role is to provide correct information to support the patient's condition and eliminate confusion regarding antibiotics and nutrition.
Radiation Diet
The document discusses the importance of nutrition during and after radiation therapy for cancer patients. It notes that malnutrition can result from both the cancer itself and side effects of radiation like mucositis and dysphagia. The European Society on Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism guidelines provide recommendations on energy requirements and interventions. A poem then outlines steps for nutrition management during radiation, including maintaining weight, a high-protein diet, and addressing issues like oral candidiasis and electrolyte imbalances. It emphasizes the importance of nutrition surveillance post-radiation to correct fluid-electrolyte problems and address late effects.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

Storyboard on Acne-Innovative Learning-M. pharm. (2nd sem.) Cosmetics
Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. It typically manifests as pimples, blackheads, or whiteheads, often on the face, chest, shoulders, or back. Acne can range from mild to severe and may cause emotional distress and scarring in some cases.
**Causes:**
1. **Excess Oil Production:** Hormonal changes during adolescence or certain times in adulthood can increase sebum (oil) production, leading to clogged pores.
2. **Clogged Pores:** When dead skin cells and oil block hair follicles, bacteria (usually Propionibacterium acnes) can thrive, causing inflammation and acne lesions.
3. **Hormonal Factors:** Fluctuations in hormone levels, such as during puberty, menstrual cycles, pregnancy, or certain medical conditions, can contribute to acne.
4. **Genetics:** A family history of acne can increase the likelihood of developing the condition.
**Types of Acne:**
- **Whiteheads:** Closed plugged pores.
- **Blackheads:** Open plugged pores with a dark surface.
- **Papules:** Small red, tender bumps.
- **Pustules:** Pimples with pus at their tips.
- **Nodules:** Large, solid, painful lumps beneath the surface.
- **Cysts:** Painful, pus-filled lumps beneath the surface that can cause scarring.
**Treatment:**
Treatment depends on the severity and type of acne but may include:
- **Topical Treatments:** Such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or retinoids to reduce bacteria and unclog pores.
- **Oral Medications:** Antibiotics or oral contraceptives for hormonal acne.
- **Procedures:** Such as chemical peels, extraction of comedones, or light therapy for more severe cases.
**Prevention and Management:**
- **Cleanse:** Regularly wash skin with a gentle cleanser.
- **Moisturize:** Use non-comedogenic moisturizers to keep skin hydrated without clogging pores.
- **Avoid Irritants:** Such as harsh cosmetics or excessive scrubbing.
- **Sun Protection:** Use sunscreen to prevent exacerbation of acne scars and inflammation.
Acne treatment can take time, and consistency in skincare routines and treatments is crucial. Consulting a dermatologist can help tailor a treatment plan that suits individual needs and reduces the risk of scarring or long-term skin damage.
