Sicus: A Case Study Summary

REVIEW OF SYSTEMS;;12 point ROS was preformed and is negative except noted in above HIP, PMH and PSH. Careful attention was paid to endocrine, integumentary, pulmonary, renal and neurological exam

A prognostic conclusion is reached according to which hypothesis has the strongest support from data gained which includes, salient clues, clinical inferences and enquiry probes, which lead to a diagnostic conclusion and treatment plan (Nurcombe & Fitzhenry-Coor, 1987). Salient clues are gained from

6. What is a CEA? How does it relate to the diagnosis of colon cancer?

The knowledge base for DXplain contains more than 65,000 relationships between diseases and patient descriptors (or clinical manifestations). The format for these relationships and the data structures are similar to the format and data structures used in the INTERNEST/QMR system except that in DXplain terms cannot only support a given diagnosis, but can also contradict other diagnoses. The relationships in DXplain are concerned with three different elements: 1) term importance, 2) term frequency and 3) term-evoking power. Term importance is used to express how significant the particular term is in indicating the presence of disease. A high term importance is given to findings that can be identified with high reliability or are rarely found

Level 2: The values obtained through RST are promoted for PSO Produces 98% Optimistic Disease

The records have been reviewed. The member is an adult female with a birth date of 05/12/1964. She has a diagnosis of early stage colon carcinoma. Her treating provider, Stephen Grabelsky, MD recommended the Oncotype DX Colon Cancer Assay.

In this essay I will be discussing the current recommendations for large bowel screening, to diagnose bowel cancer, including those categorised as high risk. I will also be discussing the role of imaging in the initial diagnosis and the subsequent follow up.

I like the approach internists have to the patient, attempting to diagnose using a sequence of physiopathology events and been as minimally

For the collection of data, developed and verified NI surveillance was used. The NI surveillance was useful for measuring both the incidence and risk factors of VAP according to Katherason et al (2009). Demographical data, past medical history, medications, nutritional status, laboratory results, diagnosis, history of illness, etc were all included in the surveillance. The Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation III score measured the severity of the illness. The APCHE is comprised of the acute physiological score that entails the major physiological systems and the chronic health evaluation that incorporates the influence of co-morbid conditions on the patient’s current health (O'Keefe-McCarthy, Santiago, & Lau, 2008).

During the small bowel series, the radiologist was not able to determine the exact area of obstruction. The study was terminated after two hours and the patient was returned to her room. Following the small bowel series, the patient complained of abdominal pain and cramping. The patient’s tube was leaking bowel from the side of the tube and onto her abdomen. It was also noted that her parenteral nutrition was not adequate (LWR radiology, 2015).

Aim of the study: the aim is to evaluate the role of MRI and find the most common findings in the early stages of the disease, which could provide the knowledge to help finding a higher quality care or even a cure to the disease.

They accepted the null hypothesis “There is no inflammation in bowel tissues to receipt of MMR” and rejected alternative hypothesis.

This will actually allow doctors to see any abnormalities of the intestines such as narrowing, ulcerations, and sometimes fistulae of the bowel [8] and even how much of the GI tract the disease is affecting [2]. Along, with the many benefits of this imaging test, there are some risks that are associated with this diagnostic such as radiation. Radiation is a large factor in which can affect overall health and with overexposure to radiation can cause mutations in cells developing cancers [2].
