This disease is diagnosed by a CT scan, often followd later by colonoscopy

Mild form are Treated with rest, liquid diet, and oral antibiotics.

Severe is hospitalized with IV antiobiotics and sometimes surgery. 

Disease is dx by colonscopy and barium enema X ray. 

treatment high fiber diet and stool bulking agents, sometimes bleeding requires colonoscopy or surgery. 

This disease is diagnosed by an inlammation of the stomach and small and large intestines cause by infection with a microorganism but can be caused by injesion of chemical toxins or drugs.

Gasteroenteritis

(staph food poisioning and travellers diarrhea)

1. this treatment is fluids but they also give nausea and vomiting controlling drugs. may need IV fluids.

2. preventative antibiotics only for people who are susceptible (cipro) and treatment is fluids, drugs such as loperamide to reduce stomach muscle spasms--but these drugs can not be given to people with fever or blood in stool or to children who are under two years of age. also antibiotcs given. 

1. Staphlococcal Food Poisioning

2. Travellers diarrhea. 

This disease is treated with reliving symptoms and reducing inflammation. Some people require surgery. 

this diagnosis is based on examinatio of the large intestine with a flexibe viewing tube (colonoscopy) and barium x ray. 

there is no cure.

This diagnosis is based on examination of the sigmoid colon using a flexible viewing tube (sigmoidoscopy) or examination of the large intestine (colonoscopy).

People who have this for a long time may develop colon cancer. 

Diagnosis is based on the symptoms but performs testes to rule out other problems. 

(ESR test for inflammation)

treatment is a regular diet is often best and drugs to relieve specific symptoms. 

Diagnosis is via a CT or another imaging test can distingush an abscess from other problems. 

Treatment is draining pus and taking antibiotics.

Angiography may be performed. 

severe abdominal pain develops suddenly., gangerene perforation. 

treatment is surgery. 

exploratory surgery or an imaging test, sucha as a computed tomography or ultrasonograpgy is done. 

treatment is surgery and antiboitcs to treat the infection. 

diagnosis is via X ray. 

treatment is this suction tube is passed through the nose and stomach.

diagnosis is by physical examination and x ray. 

surger is often needed.

dx is by colonoscopy. 

treatment is fluids, IV and no food. but some people require surgery. 

X ray or CT scan diagnose this disease

IMMEDIATE SURGERY.

this disease is dx by symptoms occuring after eating dairy products.

treatment is take lactase enzymes or avoid lactose. 

dx based on tissue specimun removed from lining of small intestine.

treatment is gluten free diet. 

dx is via endoscopy and based on patients symptoms. 

tretment is proton pump inhibitors which reduce stomach acid. 

dx is based on symptoms. 

treatment avoid trigger substances and taking drugs that reduce stomach acid. 

dx is based on symptoms of stomach pain and endoscopy.

treatment is antacids, other drugs to reduce acid in the stomach and antiboitics to eliminate H.Pylori.  

peptic ulcers

(duodenal and gastric are under the peptic ulcer heading)

1. gastritis

2. Gerd

3. Peptic ulcers -duodenal and gastric 

maual examination and biopsy.

treatment is surgery alone or with radiation and chemo, or radiationa and surgery. 

screening tests for people over 50 and colonoscopy.

treatment is surgery. 

dx is via endoscopy

and treatment is surgery.

treatment: UC, IBD, Chrons, otitis media, RA, UTI.

Function: antimicrobial, inhibit bacterial folate synthesis causing cell death. 

Sulfonamides

sulfamethoxazole, sulfaisodimidine.

ANTI MICROBIAL

H2 Receptor Angagonists. 

-IDINE

Cimetidine, famotidine, ranitidine

Function: anti-acid, block the effects of histamine at peripheral H2 receptor sites, supressing the normal secretion of acid by parietal cells.

function: analgesis (stop pain), antipyretic, reduce inflammation; block efffects of special enzymes--specifically COX 1 and COX 2 enzymes

By blocking the COX enzymes, these stop your body from making as many prostaglandins. This means less swelling and pain.

NSAIDS
