After researching for hours and viewing so many different diseases, I came across a disease I am familiar with and have actually learned about during this online course. Crohn’s disease which affects millions of people around the world is a type of disease that has had research done on it for years and with all of the research that has been done, there still has not been a finding on the exact triggers of this disease. First of all, Crohn’s disease usually involves the small intestine and it may lead to nutrient malabsorption. One thing that has been figured out by researchers is, genetic and environmental factors definitely contribute to the development of Crohn’s disease. This disease can really occur in any region of the Gastrointestinal Tract (GI Tract) but, for most cases it will affect the ileum, and the large intestine. Patients who suffer from Crohn’s disease will likely develop Lesions in different areas in the intestine, and eventually normal tissue separating the affected areas. Inflammation of the intestine can extend deeply into intestinal tissue and this usually is caused by ulcerations, fistulas, or fissures. Fistulas are normally the main cause out of those three, this is where abnormal passages between the organs or tissues allow the passage of fluids or secretions. With scar tissue resulting from Fistulas, the tissue eventually thickens, and this narrows the lumen and it sometimes causes strictures and/or obstructions. We know that having Crohn’s disease
Crohn's disease is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It causes inflammation of the lining of your digestive tract, which can lead to abdominal pain, severe diarrhea and even malnutrition. Inflammation caused by Crohn's disease can involve different areas of the digestive tract in different people. The inflammation caused by Crohn's disease often spreads deep into the layers of affected bowel tissue. Like ulcerative colitis, another common IBD, Crohn's disease can be both painful and debilitating, and sometimes may lead to life-threatening complications. Although it may involve any part of the digestive tract from the mouth to the anus, it most commonly affects the last part of the small intestine (ileum) and/or the large
Crohn’s disease is characterized by inflammation of segments of the GI tract. The parts of the tract where Crohn’s disease is most often seen are in the terminal ileum, jejunum, and right side of colon. Involvement of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum is
Human rights and fundamental freedoms are the birthright of all human beings. It is the government’s responsibility to protect these rights. The United Nations Human Rights Center helps regulate and provides information on human rights. However despite the UN’s effort somewhere there is a man or woman being denied of what should be their unquestionable rights. For many years certain rights did not exist in America for slightly under half of the American population. This group of people was made up of every woman living in the United States. In 1972 a law called Title IX was introduced and was crucial in the fight for woman’s rights. In the Universal Declaration of Human rights states in article two “Everyone is entitled to all the
① After the opium wars of the 19th century, countries began to realize just how much power the western territories have over the nation when it comes to advanced military technology. Many decided that it was time to end their isolation and start modernizing in order to catch up with the great power of Europe. By the late nineteenth century, China and Japan began approaching the modernization process in different ways, with one still trying to maintain their traditional values and the other immediately encouraged their change to a modernized country that would be seen as an “equal” to the western countries. China began to realize that they need to build up their country after being defeated by the British during the opium war, so they decided
Drugs that help treat Crohn’s disease include anti-inflammatory drugs, Immune system suppressors, and antibiotics. Some immune system suppressors carry an added risk of developing cancer such as lymphoma.
The Tennessee Department of Corrections is a department that is built on a rank and file model that allows for the flow of leadership to work in two directions from top to bottom and from the bottom to the top (Tornblom, 2017). We can see in this type of organization that the Courageous Follower model can have a significant impact on the day to day operations of this team because of the large number of both followers and leaders and each member of each group having their type of work ethics and work skills (personal communication, October 21, 2017). When each employee can be confident in their working ability and working environment, they can allow those that they work for to place trust in them as well as the leaders being able to place trust
Although people may believe that disease comes from germs and viruses around them, but with Crohn’s disease that is not the case. Crohn’s is an inflammatory bowel disease that affects the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. This disease can form, inflame, anywhere from your stomach to small intestine. Patients who struggle with Crohn’s usually would need a lifetime of care just to contain the disease; there is still not a cure, but it impacts their daily schedule. Crohn’s is a disease doctors are still to find the reasoning for this disease and how they could solve it, but for now patients with Crohn’s will have improvise with their daily routine depending on how it affects them.
Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that is characterized by inflammation of the digestive, or gastrointestinal tract. It can affect any part of the GI tract, including the mouth and anus. However, Crohn’s most often affects the end of the small intestine (Crohn’s & Colitis, 2016). Crohn’s disease does not have a cure and there is no exact cause for the occurring disease. “Since the exact cause of Crohn’s disease is unknown, it has been linked to a combination of environmental factors, immune function and bacterial factors, as well as a patient’s genetic susceptibility to developing the disease” (History Cooperative, 2014).
to as colitis, enteritis, ileitis, and proctitis. When you have this disease your body’s immune system begins attacking healthy cells in your digestive tract, and this is what causes the inflammation. Crohn’s disease is one of the fastest growing intestinal diseases in the United States. Although the condition can affect any part of the gut, the most commonly affected areas are the ileum or the large intestine, the colon. Crohn's disease may be mild, moderate, or severe. Most patients are able to lead full and productive lives when treated properly.
Crohn’s disease is a chronic condition that affects a person’s digestive system with no known cause. When Crohn’s disease strikes, it can affect any part of your digestive system ranging from your mouth, all the way to your anus. Crohn’s disease is chronic and there is no known cure for this condition. So basically, once someone is diagnosed with this condition, they might as well get used to living out the remainder of their life being affected by Crohn’s disease. Crohn’s is not, shall we say, “constant”. The symptoms happen on and off in what are usually called “flare-ups”.
Crohn’s disease is named after Dr. Burrill Bernard Crohn an American gastroenterologist. He first described the illness in 1932 his report, “Regional Ileitis: A Pathological and Clinical Entity”
Patients with Crohn’s disease should avoid nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (Mayo Clinic, 2014). The side effects of NSAIDS are bowel irritation, which can make Crohn’s worse. They should also avoid fruits and vegetables, foods high in fat, dairy products, spicy foods, and carbonated beverages, as these are also very irritating to the bowel (Lippincott, 2011). They should also avoid stress and should practice good hygiene habits. To monitor for impending exacerbations, patients should monitor for blood in their stool, learn to recognize signs of infection, take their temperature daily, and monitor themselves for increased pain. The earlier increased inflammation is caught, the easier it is to
Question, did you know that no one really know where Crohn’s had come from and where it originally had started in the human body? These things come from such as the genetic or hereditary factors environmental triggers such as medications, pollution, excessive antibiotic use, diet, or the infections a wayward immune system that starts attacking its own GI tissue in the lower abdomen. Instead, it’s a result of the immune system attacking a harmless virus, bacteria, or food in the gut that cause irritation to the person and makes the stomach hot. You will also experience trouble eating and gaining weight and height. Studies show ways the disease works and function in the human body but the percentage of the research is very low of 57.8%. People would never know that “YOU CAN NOT CAUSE CROHN’S”, Dr. Matilda Hagan a gastroenterologist at Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore state's “Doctors don’t know what
Crohn's disease, also known as Morbus Crohn's, Granulomatous enteritis, Regional enteritis, or Terminal ileitis, is a chronic Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) that was first reported in 1932 by Dr. Burrill Bernard Crohn. Crohn's disease can attack any part of the gastrointestinal tract - the region of the body responsible for digesting food, absorbing nutrients, and eliminating wastes - despite most commonly affecting the lower portion of the small intestine and colon. According to the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America, abut 1.4 million Americans have an IBD, with 700,000 having Crohn’s disease (Pietrangelo, 2015). Between the years of 1992 and 2004, there was a 74 percent increase in physician office visits due to Crohn’s disease,
In the United States alone, more than 1.4 million citizens have Crohn’s disease, but many do not know what it is (Sklar, 2002), p. 11). Crohn’s disease is an “inflammatory bowel disease … [that] may affect any part of the whole digestion tract” (History Cooperative, 2014). What exactly causes Crohn’s disease? Crohn’s disease has no known causes, but there have been studies showing that the environmental, the immune, and genetics play a factor in it.
