The best management for 'crescendo biliary colic' is urgent laparoscopic cholecystectomy. (1/187)
Gallbladder disease due to stones is well recognised as falling into two categories, presenting with either chronic symptoms or developing acute cholecystitis or other complications. We describe an intermediate group of 14 patients (11 women, three men, median age 31 years) presenting with 4-14 days of at least daily attacks of resolving biliary colic, who underwent early laparoscopic cholecystectomy within 24 hours of presentation. None had any evidence of acute inflammation, either at laparoscopy or on histology. Their surgery was straightforward with operating times ranging from 35-80 minutes and no complications. Patients with 'crescendo biliary colic' are often young women who can rarely afford invalidity. Rather than the current practice of analgesia for each attack and elective surgery weeks later, they are optimally managed by urgent laparoscopic cholecystectomy, preventing the development of complications and minimising the need for further medical involvement. (+info)What is distinct about infants' "colic" cries? (2/187)
AIMS: To investigate (1) whether colic cries are acoustically distinct from pre-feed "hunger" cries; (2) the role of the acoustic properties of these cries versus their other properties in accounting for parents' concerns about colic. DESIGN: From a community sample, infants were selected who met Wessel colic criteria for amounts of crying and whose mothers identified colic bouts. Using acoustic analyses, the most intense segments of nine colic bouts were compared with matched segments from pre-feed cries presumed to reflect hunger. RESULTS: The colic cries did not have a higher pitch or proportion of dysphonation than the pre-feed cries. They did contain more frequent shorter utterances, but these resembled normal cries investigated in other studies. There is no evidence that colic cries have distinct acoustic features that are reproducible across samples and studies, which identify a discrete clinical condition, and which are identified accurately by parents. CONCLUSIONS: The most reliable finding is that colic cries convey diffuse acoustic and audible information that a baby is highly aroused or distressed. Non-acoustic features, including the prolonged, hard to soothe, and unexplained nature of the cries may be specific to colic cries and more important for parents. These properties might reflect temperament-like dispositions. (+info)Jejunoileal incarceration and strangulation through a splenic defect in a mare. (3/187)
A 6-year-old, standardbred mare was presented for colic of 12 h duration. Transrectal palpation revealed intestinal distension of unknown cause. The mare was euthanized. At necropsy, segmental jejunoileal incarceration and strangulation through an opening in the spleen was observed. This opening was considered to be a congenital defect. (+info)Intestinal adenocarcinoma causing recurrent colic in the horse. (4/187)
An 8-year-old, Thoroughbred-cross mare presented with recurrent colic. Exploratory laparotomy revealed a large mass near the right dorsal colon; white, raised foci on the liver; and enlarged mesenteric lymph nodes. Cytological examination of biopsies revealed neoplastic cells. The diagnosis of adenocarcinoma was confirmed by histological examination. (+info)How do we compare with our colleagues? Quality of general practitioner performance in consultations for non-acute abdominal complaints. (5/187)
OBJECTIVE: To investigate what factors influence the quality of general practitioner performance in consultations for non-acute abdominal complaints and to establish the extent to which performance quality differs between general practitioners (GPs). DESIGN: Explorative study in two parts: (i) detection of variables influencing quality scores of consultations; and (ii) comparison of mean quality scores of the consultations, selected by each GP. SETTING: Sixty-two family practices across The Netherlands. SUBJECTS: Eight-hundred and forty consultations concerning non-acute abdominal complaints, first encounters; 62 GPs. METHOD: Multilevel analysis was carried out to detect factors that influence quality. After correction for the effect of significant factors the mean quality scores of individual GPs were calculated and compared. RESULTS: Eighty-eight per cent of the total variance in quality scores was located at the consultation/patient level, and 12% at the GP level. One consultation characteristic had significant influence on quality: quality scores were higher in consultations of longer than average duration (>15 minutes). Several patient characteristics were of significant influence. Consultation quality scores were higher in consultations for patients with upper abdominal or non-specific abdominal complaints. Quality scores were lower in consultations with female patients and with patients aged >40 years. Together these characteristics explained 20% of the variance at the GP level. None of the GP characteristics investigated in this study appeared to have significant influence on the quality of their performance. After correction of the scores for the effect of significant factors the differences in performance quality between GPs remained significant. CONCLUSIONS: Quality of performance is far more influenced by consultation and patient characteristics than by GP characteristics. After correction for influencing factors, the mean quality scores of GPs still differed considerably and significantly. For many GPs the quality scores varied substantially between different consultations; to a large extent this variation remained unexplained. Consultation quality can be improved by booking more time per patient and by giving more medical/technical attention to female and older patients. (+info)Tansy ragwort poisoning in a horse in southern Ontario. (6/187)
Bizarre behavior, apparent lameness, and colic were noticed in 1 of 3 horses on a pasture overgrown by weeds during a drought. Liver failure and hepatoencephalopathy were diagnosed, caused by pyrrolizidine alkaloid toxicosis associated with consumption of tansy ragwort. The horse made a full recovery when removed from the pasture. (+info)Tyzzer's disease in an 11-day-old foal. (7/187)
An 11-day-old pony became depressed, anorectic, and pyrexic 2 days after the topsoil of its paddock had been turned over. Rapid progression to colic and head pressing occurred, despite intensive therapy for Tyzzer's disease, and the foal died within 7 h of the appearance of central nervous system signs. (+info)Fetal growth and infantile colic. (8/187)
AIM: To describe how fetal growth and gestational age affect infantile colic, while considering other potential risk factors. STUDY DESIGN: A population based follow up study of 2035 healthy singleton infants without any disability born to Danish mothers. Information was collected by self administered questionnaires at 16 and 30 weeks of gestation, at delivery, and 8 months post partum. Infantile colic is defined according to Wessel's criteria, but symptoms are restricted to crying for more than three hours a day, for more than three days a week, and for more than three weeks. RESULTS: The cumulated incidence of infantile colic was 10.9%. Low birth weight babies (< 2500 g) had more than twice the risk (odds ratio = 2.7, 95% confidence interval 1.2 to 6.1) of infantile colic when controlled for gestational age, maternal height, and smoking. CONCLUSION: Low birth weight may be associated with infantile colic, and further research will be aimed to focus on fetal growth and infantile colic. (+info)Causes of Colic:
1. Gas and bloating: Gas and bloating are common causes of colic. This can occur when gas builds up in the digestive tract or when the body has difficulty processing certain types of food.
2. Constipation: Constipation can cause colic, as hard stool can put pressure on the intestines and lead to pain.
3. Diarrhea: Diarrhea can also cause colic, as loose stool can irritate the intestines and lead to pain.
4. Eating certain foods: Some foods, such as dairy or gluten, can be difficult for the body to digest and may cause colic.
5. Medical conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as IBS, GERD, or IBD, can cause colic.
Symptoms of Colic:
1. Abdominal pain or discomfort: This is the most common symptom of colic and can be described as crampy, gnawing, or sharp.
2. Gas and bloating: Patients with colic may experience gas and bloating, which can lead to discomfort and abdominal distension.
3. Diarrhea or constipation: Depending on the underlying cause of colic, patients may experience diarrhea or constipation.
4. Nausea and vomiting: Some patients with colic may experience nausea and vomiting.
5. Abdominal tenderness: The abdomen may be tender to the touch, especially in the lower right quadrant of the abdomen.
Treatment for Colic:
1. Dietary changes: Patients with colic may benefit from making dietary changes such as avoiding trigger foods, eating smaller meals, and increasing fiber intake.
2. Probiotics: Probiotics can help to regulate the gut microbiome and reduce symptoms of colic.
3. Antispasmodics: Antispasmodics, such as dicyclomine, can help to reduce abdominal pain and cramping associated with colic.
4. Simethicone: Simethicone is an antigas medication that can help to reduce bloating and discomfort associated with colic.
5. Antidepressants: Antidepressants, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), have been shown to be effective in reducing symptoms of colic in some patients.
6. Psychological support: Colic can be stressful and emotionally challenging for both patients and their caregivers. Psychological support and counseling may be beneficial in managing the emotional impact of colic.
It is important to note that while these treatments may help to reduce symptoms of colic, there is no cure for this condition. In most cases, colic will resolve on its own within a few months. However, if you suspect that your baby has colic, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider to rule out any other underlying medical conditions and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
Symptoms of fecal impaction may include:
1. Severe constipation or infrequent bowel movements
2. Abdominal pain or discomfort
3. Straining during bowel movements
4. Lack of relief after passing stool
5. Bleeding from the rectum or blood in the stool
6. Fever and chills
7. Nausea and vomiting
8. Diarrhea or loose stools
If left untreated, fecal impaction can lead to more severe complications such as:
1. Rectal prolapse (where the rectum protrudes out of the anus)
2. Intestinal obstruction or blockage (where the stool blocks the intestine)
3. Infection or abscesses in the rectum or colon
4. Fistula (an abnormal connection between two organs or the skin)
5. Sepsis (a potentially life-threatening infection that can spread throughout the body)
Treatment for fecal impaction usually involves a combination of dietary changes, bowel rest, and medications to soften the stool and promote bowel movements. In severe cases, surgery may be necessary to remove the impacted stool or repair any damage to the rectum or colon.
Some common horse diseases include:
1. Equine Influenza (EI): A highly contagious respiratory disease caused by the equine influenza virus. It can cause fever, coughing, and nasal discharge.
2. Strangles: A bacterial infection of the lymph nodes, which can cause swelling of the neck and difficulty breathing.
3. West Nile Virus (WNV): A viral infection that can cause fever, weakness, and loss of coordination. It is transmitted by mosquitoes and can be fatal in some cases.
4. Tetanus: A bacterial infection caused by Clostridium tetani, which can cause muscle stiffness, spasms, and rigidity.
5. Rabies: A viral infection that affects the central nervous system and can be fatal if left untreated. It is transmitted through the saliva of infected animals, usually through a bite.
6. Cushing's Disease: A hormonal disorder caused by an overproduction of cortisol, which can cause weight gain, muscle wasting, and other health issues.
7. Laminitis: An inflammation of the laminae, the tissues that connect the hoof to the bone. It can be caused by obesity, overeating, or excessive exercise.
8. Navicular Syndrome: A condition that affects the navicular bone and surrounding tissue, causing pain and lameness in the foot.
9. Pneumonia: An inflammation of the lungs, which can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi.
10. Colic: A general term for abdominal pain, which can be caused by a variety of factors, including gas, impaction, or twisting of the intestines.
These are just a few examples of the many potential health issues that can affect horses. Regular veterinary care and proper management can help prevent many of these conditions, and early diagnosis and treatment can improve the chances of a successful outcome.
1. Ureteral stones: Small, hard mineral deposits that form in the ureters and can cause pain, bleeding, and blockage of urine flow.
2. Ureteral tumors: Abnormal growths that can be benign or cancerous and can cause symptoms such as blood in the urine, pain, and difficulty urinating.
3. Ureteral strictures: Narrowing of the ureters due to scarring or inflammation, which can cause pain and blockage of urine flow.
4. Ureteral injuries: Trauma to the ureters during surgery or other medical procedures can cause damage and lead to ureteral diseases.
5. Ureteral ectopia: A rare condition in which the ureters do not properly connect to the bladder, leading to urine leakage and other symptoms.
6. Ureteral tuberculosis: A type of bacterial infection that affects the ureters and can cause symptoms such as fever, weight loss, and blood in the urine.
7. Ureteral cancer: Cancer that affects the ureters and can cause symptoms such as blood in the urine, pain, and difficulty urinating.
8. Ureteral calculus: A small, hard deposit that forms in the ureters and can cause pain, bleeding, and blockage of urine flow.
9. Ureteral stenosis: A narrowing of the ureters due to scarring or inflammation, which can cause pain and blockage of urine flow.
10. Ureteral obstruction: A blockage of the ureters that can be caused by a variety of factors, such as tumors, stones, or inflammation.
Ureteral diseases can be diagnosed through a combination of physical examination, imaging studies such as X-rays and CT scans, and endoscopic procedures such as ureteroscopy. Treatment options vary depending on the specific condition and may include antibiotics, surgery, or other interventions to address the underlying cause of the disease. It is important to seek medical attention if symptoms persist or worsen over time, as early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent complications and improve outcomes.
Some common examples of stomatognathic diseases include:
1. Periodontal disease: A bacterial infection that affects the supporting structures of the teeth, including the gums and bone.
2. Dental caries: Tooth decay caused by bacteria that produce acid, which can damage the tooth structure.
3. Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder: Pain or dysfunction in the joint that connects the jawbone to the skull.
4. Oral cancer: Cancer that affects the mouth, tongue, lips, or throat.
5. Malocclusion: A misalignment of the teeth or jaws that can cause difficulty chewing or speaking.
6. Gingivitis: Inflammation of the gums that can lead to periodontal disease if left untreated.
7. Dry mouth (xerostomia): A decrease in saliva production that can increase the risk of dental caries and other oral health problems.
8. Oral thrush: A fungal infection that affects the mouth, causing white patches to form on the tongue, inner cheeks, and gums.
9. Burning mouth syndrome: A condition characterized by a burning sensation in the mouth without any visible signs of injury or infection.
10. Oral lichen planus: An inflammatory condition that affects the mucous membranes in the mouth, causing white patches and pain.
Stomatognathic diseases can be diagnosed through a combination of medical and dental examinations, including X-rays, blood tests, and biopsies. Treatment options vary depending on the specific condition but may include medication, surgery, or lifestyle changes such as dietary modifications and stress management techniques.
Early detection and treatment of stomatognathic diseases are essential to prevent further complications and improve quality of life. Regular dental check-ups and screenings can help identify potential issues before they become more severe, and a multidisciplinary approach involving dentists, oral surgeons, and other healthcare professionals may be necessary for optimal management.
The most common types of urolithiasis are:
1. Kidney stones (nephrolithiasis): These are formed in the kidneys and can be made of various substances such as calcium oxalate, uric acid, or cystine.
2. Bladder stones (cystolithiasis): These are formed in the bladder and are typically made of calcium oxalate or magnesium ammonium phosphate.
3. Ureteral stones (ureterolithiasis): These are formed in the ureters, the narrow tubes that connect the kidneys to the bladder.
4. Urethral stones (urethrolithiasis): These are formed in the urethra, the tube that carries urine out of the body.
Urolithiasis can cause a range of symptoms, including:
1. Pain in the abdomen or back
2. Frequent urination
3. Painful urination
4. Blood in the urine
5. Cloudy or strong-smelling urine
6. Fever and chills
7. Nausea and vomiting
Treatment for urolithiasis depends on the type of stone, its size, and the severity of symptoms. Small stones may pass on their own, while larger stones may require medical intervention such as shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) to break them up or surgery to remove them. Preventive measures include drinking plenty of water, maintaining a healthy diet, and avoiding certain foods that can increase the risk of stone formation.
