GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort.

Congestive Heart failure is caused by low cardiac output and high sympathetic discharge. Diuretics reduce preload, ACE inhibitors lower afterload, beta blockers reduce sympathetic activity, and digitalis has inotropic effects. Newer medications target vasodilation and myosin activation to improve heart efficiency while lowering energy requirements. Combination therapy, following an assessment of cardiac function and volume status, is the most effective strategy to heart failure care.
Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapyDr. Sumit KUMAR
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.
This presentation gives information on the pharmacology of Prostaglandins, Thromboxanes and Leukotrienes i.e. Eicosanoids. Eicosanoids are signaling molecules derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids like arachidonic acid. They are involved in complex control over inflammation, immunity, and the central nervous system. Eicosanoids are synthesized through the enzymatic oxidation of fatty acids by cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase enzymes. They have short half-lives and act locally through autocrine and paracrine signaling.
The biomechanics of running involves the study of the mechanical principles underlying running movements. It includes the analysis of the running gait cycle, which consists of the stance phase (foot contact to push-off) and the swing phase (foot lift-off to next contact). Key aspects include kinematics (joint angles and movements, stride length and frequency) and kinetics (forces involved in running, including ground reaction and muscle forces). Understanding these factors helps in improving running performance, optimizing technique, and preventing injuries.

services regionally and internationally. There are some aspects of managing and doing marketing activities in order for
medical tourism to be feasible, in a region called as clustering in a region with main stakeholders groups includes Health
providers, Tourism cluster, etc. There are some related and affecting factors to be considered for the feasibility of medical
tourism within this study such as competitiveness, clustering, Entrepreneurship, SMEs. One of the growth phenomenon
is Health tourism in the city of Izmir and Turkey. The model of five competitive forces of Porter and The Diamond model
that is an economical model that shows the four main factors that affect the competitiveness of a nation and its industries
in this study. The short literature of medical tourism and regional clustering have been mentioned.

10. INFORMATION CODED BIOFEEDBACK
• Complex systems including organisms share information
from within the system as well as from outside the
system.
• All forms of biofeedback are designed to slip into this
ongoing communication.
iOS & Android
10
11. INFORMATION CODED BIOFEEDBACK
iOS & Android
• In one way or another, organisms integrate Information,
Energy and Matter in their ongoing activities.
Biofeedback processes can be designed to communicate
on any one of these levels.
• In Possibility Wave, we work with the Information aspect
of the organism.
11
12. INFORMATION CODED BIOFEEDBACK
• At the heart of Possibility Wave and Information Coded
Biofeedback designs is a fundamental principle or axiom
which is that Awareness is the primary pervasive matrix
of all of creation.
• All of the various aspects of Consciousness are
modulations of this fundamental Awareness.
iOS & Android
12
13. INFORMATION CODED BIOFEEDBACK
• What we perceive and categorize as Information, Energy
and Matter are all expressions of this Awareness.
• Life and Consciousness do not evolve out of lifeless
Matter. It is the other way around – Energy and Matter
evolve out of Life and Consciousness.
iOS & Android
13
14. INFORMATION CODED BIOFEEDBACK
iOS & Android
• The unifying principle of a matrix of Awareness permits an
unbroken field of Conscious Communication within any
and all aspects of a system with the Information level
being the most sensitive and fluid basis for interaction.

• The second fundamental principle of Possibility Wave and
Information Coded Biofeedback is best entitled
POSSIBLE > PROBABLE > CERTAIN.
• This principle is both precious and profound and warrants
a deep and sincere exploration.
15
16. INFORMATION CODED BIOFEEDBACK
• An Information Coded Biofeedback process is capable of
making very exacting complex assessments of Sets of
Possibilities that concentrate and extract highly
Significant Probabilities and present them to the
practitioner
iOS & Android
16
17. INFORMATION CODED BIOFEEDBACK
• Having isolated the Significant Probabilities, the concept
of the Triune Correspondence is set in motion.
• The Triune Correspondence is the merging of: 1) the
Actual Experience of the Client; 2) the Expertise and
Intuition of the Practitioner; and 3) the Information
discovered and present by the Information Coded
Biofeedback process.
iOS & Android
17
18. iOS & Android
INFORMATION CODED BIOFEEDBACK
• The stage of Certainty can be reached only when action is
taken. There is no Certainty until actualization takes
place.
• In fact, as Probabilities begin to coalesce, there are still
multiple choices in the manifestation.
• In Quantum Physics, this condition is known as
Superposition.
18
19. INFORMATION CODED BIOFEEDBACK
• It is NOT that Certainty is hiding itself somehow but
rather that all conditions remain Uncertain as Significant
Probabilities and will manifest as a Certainty depending
on which of the multiple variables succeed in expressing
themselves in the Here and Now.
iOS & Android
19
20. INFORMATION CODED BIOFEEDBACK
• Possibility Wave Information Coded Biofeedback tools
utilize a discovery process known as the I-Field
Assessment. The “I” is short for “Information”.
• This process is a form of stochastic testing which is used
in various forms throughout many areas of science and
industry.
iOS & Android
20
21. INFORMATION CODED BIOFEEDBACK
• A stochastic process is used when there are too many
factors to calculate for a clearly determined outcome.
• The key to a stochastic process is in the algorithms that
are used to search for and extract significant patterns of
behavior in the areas being explored.
iOS & Android

• The Adaptive Capacity is analyzed in two ways: 1) the
Adaptive Potential and 2) the Adaptive Reserve.
• This analysis is presented in easy to comprehend numeric
percentages.
30
31. ADAPT WELLNESS
• Adaptive Potential is the measure of the ability of the
organism to respond to Change and Challenge in the
short term.
iOS & Android
31
32. ADAPT WELLNESS
• Adaptive Reserve is the ability to respond to Change and
Challenge in the long term.
iOS & Android
32
33. ADAPT WELLNESS
• It is reasonable to compare Adaptive Potential to the
concept of Qi in Oriental systems and Adaptive Reserve
to the concept of Jing.
• Although not the same construct, the perspective is close
enough to draw parallels.
iOS & Android
33
34. ADAPT WELLNESS
iOS & Android
• After assessing CORE and ZONE aspects of the subject,
ADAPT then makes finding specific links into a broad range
of Functional Considerations.
• These are all positive action oriented findings that the
practitioner may consider as courses of action to support
and reinforce the Adaptive Capacity of the person.
34
35. ADAPT WELLNESS
iOS & Android
• Regardless of the principle methodology of the
practitioner, the Functional Considerations can be directly
interpreted to apply within the scope of practice.
35
36. ADAPT WELLNESS
• Following a completely rational therapeutic logic, ADAPT
then links the findings of all the exploration processes to
sets of Specific Adaptive Reinforcements.
• These are all Signal based Stimulations that are applied
therapeutically to the client within the structure of the
session.
iOS & Android
36
37. ADAPT WELLNESS
• Version 1.0 of ADAPT delivers the Signal Stimulations as
Sonic Signatures via headphones as well as Vibrational
Signatures via the I-Field of the client.
• Upcoming versions will include other delivery methods
such as Pulsed Magnetics and Pulsed Photonics.
iOS & Android
37
38. ADAPT WELLNESS
• Knowing full well that no single session can provide a full
picture of a client and, importantly, the Adaptation
response is progressive over time, ADAPT Wellness has a
highly efficient Pattern Recognition feature that tracks
the key findings of a client from session to session.
iOS & Android
