Gallbladder Encyclopedia Entry for Gallstones : Gallstones - discharge. You may have had an infection in your gallbladder. You may have received drugs to reduce the swelling and fight the infection. You may have surgery to remove your gallbladder or to remove a gallstone that is blocking a bile duct. You may continue to have pain and other symptoms if your gallstones return or were not removed. You may be on a liquid diet for some time to give your gallbladder a rest. When you are eating regular food again, avoid overeating. If you are overweight try to lose weight. Take acetaminophen (Tylenol) for pain. Ask your health care provider about stronger pain medicines. Take any medicines you have been given to fight infection the way you were told to. You may be able to take medicines that dissolve gallstones, but they may take 6 months to 2 years to work. Call your provider if you have: Steady, severe pain in your upper belly Pain in your back, between your shoulder blades that does not go away is getting worse Nausea and vomiting Fever or chills Yellow color to your skin and the whites of your eyes (jaundice) Grey or chalky white bowel movements.

Fogel EL, Sherman S. Diseases of the gallbladder and bile ducts. Encyclopedia Entry for Gallstones : Gallstones. The cause of gallstones varies. There are two main types of gallstones: Stones made of cholesterol -- This is the most common type. Cholesterol gallstones are not related to cholesterol level in the blood. In most cases, they are not visible on CT scans. Stones made of bilirubin -- These are called pigment stones. They occur when red blood cells are destroyed and too much bilirubin is in the bile. Gallstones are more common in women, native Americans, Hispanics, people over age 40, and people who are overweight. Gallstones may also run in families. The following factors also make you more likely to develop gallstones: Bone marrow or solid organ transplant Diabetes Failure of the gallbladder to empty bile properly (this is more likely to happen during pregnancy) Liver cirrhosis and biliary tract infections (pigmented stones) Medical conditions that cause too many red blood cells to be destroyed Rapid weight loss from eating a very low-calorie diet, or after weight loss surgery Receiving nutrition through a vein for a long period of time (intravenous feedings) Taking birth control pills. Many people with gallstones do not have any symptoms. The gallstones are often found during a routine x-ray, abdominal surgery, or other medical procedure. However, if a large stone blocks a tube or duct that drains the gallbladder, you may have a cramping pain in the middle to right upper abdomen. This is known as biliary colic. The pain goes away if the stone passes into the first part of the small intestine. Symptoms that may occur include: Pain in the right upper or middle upper abdomen for at least 30 minutes. The pain may be constant or cramping. It can feel sharp or dull. Fever Yellowing of skin and whites of the eyes (jaundice) Other symptoms may include: Clay-colored stools Nausea and vomiting. Tests used to detect gallstones or gallbladder inflammation include: Ultrasound, abdomen CT scan, abdomen Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) Gallbladder radionuclide scan Endoscopic ultrasound Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiogram (PTCA) Your health care provider may order the following blood tests: Bilirubin Liver function tests Pancreatic enzymes. SURGERY Most of the time, surgery is not needed unless symptoms begin. However, people planning weight loss surgery may need to have gallstones removed before undergoing the procedure. In general, people who have symptoms will need surgery right away or soon after the stone is found. A technique called laparoscopic cholecystectomy is most commonly used. This procedure uses small surgical incisions, which allow for a faster recovery. A patient can often go home from the hospital within 1 day of surgery. In the past, open cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal) was most often done. However, this technique is less common now. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and a procedure called a sphincterotomy may be done to find or treat gallstones in the common bile duct. MEDICINES Medicines may be given in pill form to dissolve cholesterol gallstones. However, these drugs may take 2 years or longer to work, and the stones may return after treatment ends. Rarely, chemicals are passed into the gallbladder through a catheter. The chemical rapidly dissolves cholesterol stones. This treatment is hard to perform, so it is not done very often. The chemicals used can be toxic, and the gallstones may return. LITHOTRIPSY Shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) of the gallbladder has also been used for people who cannot have surgery. This treatment is not used as often as it once was because gallstones often come back. You may need to be on a liquid diet or take other steps to give your gallbladder a rest after you are treated. Your health care provider will give you instructions when you leave the hospital. The chance of symptoms or complications from gallstones surgery is low. Nearly all people who have gallbladder surgery do not have their symptoms return. Blockage by gallstones may cause swelling or infection in the: Gallbladder (cholecystitis) Tube that carries bile from the liver to the gallbladder and intestines ( cholangitis ) Pancreas (pancreatitis). Call your provider if you have: Pain in the upper part of your abdomen Yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes. In most people, gallstones can't be prevented. In people who are obese, avoiding rapid weight loss may help prevent gallstones.

Also see Clostridium, Circulatory Stasis, Infections General, and Bacterium Coli programs. Encyclopedia Entry for Gangrene : Gangrene. Gangrene happens when a body part loses its blood supply. This may happen from injury, an infection, or other causes. You have a higher risk for gangrene if you have: A serious injury Blood vessel disease (such as arteriosclerosis, also called hardening of the arteries, in your arms or legs) Diabetes Suppressed immune system (for example, from HIV/AIDS or chemotherapy) Surgery. The symptoms depend on the location and cause of the gangrene. If the skin is involved, or the gangrene is close to the skin, the symptoms may include: Discoloration (blue or black if skin is affected; red or bronze if the affected area is beneath the skin) Foul-smelling discharge Loss of feeling in the area (which may happen after severe pain in the area) If the affected area is inside the body (such as gangrene of the gallbladder or gas gangrene ), the symptoms may include: Confusion Fever Gas in tissues beneath the skin General ill feeling Low blood pressure Persistent or severe pain. The health care provider may diagnose gangrene from a physical examination. In addition, the following tests and procedures may be used to diagnose gangrene: Arteriogram (special x-ray to see any blockages in the blood vessels) to help plan treatment for blood vessel disease Blood tests (white blood cell [WBC] count may be high) CT scan to examine internal organs Culture of the tissue or fluid from wounds to identify bacterial infection Examining tissue under the microscope to look for cell death X-rays. Gangrene requires urgent evaluation and treatment. In general, dead tissue should be removed to allow healing of the surrounding living tissue and prevent further infection. Depending on the area that has the gangrene, the person's overall condition, and the cause of the gangrene, treatment may include: Amputating the body part that has gangrene An emergency operation to find and remove dead tissue An operation to improve blood supply to the area Antibiotics Repeated operations to remove dead tissue (debridement) Treatment in the intensive care unit (for severely ill people) Hyperbaric oxygen therapy to improve the amount of oxygen in the blood. What to expect depends on where the gangrene is in the body, how much gangrene there is, and the person's overall condition. If treatment is delayed, the gangrene is extensive, or the person has other significant medical problems, the person may die. Complications depend on where in the body the gangrene is, how much gangrene there is, the cause of the gangrene, and the person's overall condition. Complications can include: Disability from amputation or removal of dead tissue Prolonged wound healing or the need for reconstructive surgery, such as skin grafting. Call your provider right away if: A wound does not heal or there are frequent sores in an area An area of your skin turns blue or black There is foul-smelling discharge from any wound on your body You have persistent, unexplained pain in an area You have persistent, unexplained fever. Gangrene may be prevented if it is treated before the tissue damage is irreversible. Wounds should be treated properly and watched carefully for signs of infection (such as spreading redness, swelling, or drainage) or failure to heal. People with diabetes or blood vessel disease should routinely examine their feet for any signs of injury, infection, or change in skin color and seek care as needed. Gangrene Gangrene.

Encyclopedia Entry for Gastritis : Gastritis. The most common causes of gastritis are: Certain medicines, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen and other similar drugs Heavy alcohol drinking Infection of the stomach with a bacteria called Helicobacter pylori Less common causes are: Autoimmune disorders (such as pernicious anemia) Backflow of bile into the stomach (bile reflux) Cocaine abuse Eating or drinking caustic or corrosive substances (such as poisons) Extreme stress Viral infection, such as cytomegalovirus and herpes simplex virus (more often occurs in people with a weak immune system) Trauma or a severe, sudden illness such as major surgery, kidney failure, or being placed on a breathing machine may cause gastritis. Many people with gastritis do not have any symptoms. Symptoms you may notice are: Loss of appetite Nausea and vomiting Pain in the upper part of the belly or abdomen If gastritis is causing bleeding from the lining of the stomach, symptoms may include: Black stools Vomiting blood or coffee-ground like material. Tests that may be needed are: Complete blood count (CBC) to check for anemia or low blood count Examination of the stomach with an endoscope (esophagogastroduodenoscopy or EGD ) with biopsy of stomach lining H pylori tests (breath test or stool test) Stool test to check for small amounts of blood in the stools, which may be a sign of bleeding in the stomach. Treatment depends on what is causing the problem. Some of the causes will go away over time. You may need to stop taking aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, or other medicines that may be causing gastritis. Always talk to your health care provider before stopping any medicine. You may use other over-the-counter and prescription drugs that decrease the amount of acid in the stomach, such as: Antacids H2 antagonists: famotidine (Pepsid), cimetidine (Tagamet), ranitidine (Zantac), and nizatidine (Axid) Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs): omeprazole (Prilosec), esomeprazole (Nexium), iansoprazole (Prevacid), rabeprazole (AcipHex), and pantoprazole (Protonix) Antibiotics may be used to treat chronic gastritis caused by infection with Helicobacter pylori bacteria. The outlook depends on the cause, but is often very good. Blood loss and increased risk for gastric cancer can occur. Call your provider if you develop: Pain in the upper part of the belly or abdomen that does not go away Black or tarry stools Vomiting blood or coffee-ground-like material.

Encyclopedia Entry for Gastroesophageal Reflux : Gastroesophageal reflux - discharge. You have gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). This is a condition in which food or liquid travels backwards from the stomach into the esophagus (the tube from the mouth to the stomach). You may have had tests to help diagnose your GERD or complications you have from it. You can make many lifestyle changes to help treat your symptoms. Avoid foods that cause problems for you. DO NOT drink alcohol. Avoid drinks and foods that have caffeine, such as soda, coffee, tea, and chocolate. Avoid decaffeinated coffee. It also increases the level of acid in your stomach. Avoid high-acid fruits and vegetables, such as citrus fruits, pineapple, tomatoes, or tomato-based dishes (pizza, chili, and spaghetti) if you find that they cause heartburn. Avoid items with spearmint or peppermint. Other lifestyle tips that may make your symptoms better are: Eat smaller meals, and eat more often. Lose weight, if you need to. If you smoke or chew tobacco, try to quit. Your health care provider can help. Exercise, but not right after eating. Reduce your stress and watch for stressful, tense times. Stress can bother your reflux problem. Bend at the knees, not your waist, to pick things up. Avoid wearing clothes that put pressure on your waist or stomach. Do not lie down for 3 to 4 hours after eating. Avoid medicines such as aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), or naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn). Take acetaminophen (Tylenol) to relieve pain. Take any of your medicines with plenty of water. When you start a new medicine, remember to ask if it will make your heartburn worse. Try these tips before going to sleep: DO NOT skip meals or eat a large meal for dinner to make up for missed meals. Avoid late night snacks. DO NOT lie down right after you eat. Remain upright for 3 to 4 hours before you go to bed. Raise your bed 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 centimeters) at the head of your bed, using blocks. You can also use a wedge support that raises the top half of your body when you are in bed. (Extra pillows that raise only your head may not help.). Antacids can help neutralize your stomach acid. They do not help to treat the irritation in your esophagus. Common side effects of antacids include diarrhea or constipation. Other over-the-counter drugs and prescription drugs can treat GERD. They work more slowly than antacids but give you longer relief. Your provider can tell you how to take these drugs. There are two different types of these drugs: H2 antagonists: famotidine (Pepcid), cimetidine (Tagamet), ranitidine (Zantac), and nizatidine (Axid) Proton pump inhibitors (PPI): omeprazole (Prilosec or Zegarid), esomeprazole (Nexium), lansoprazole (Prevacid), dexlansoprazole (Dexilant), rabeprazole (AcipHex), and pantoprazole (Protonix). You will have follow-up visits with your provider to check your esophagus. You may also need to have dental check-ups. GERD can cause the enamel on your teeth to wear away. Call your provider if you have: Problems or pain with swallowing Choking A full feeling after eating a small meal portion Weight loss that cannot be explained Vomiting Loss of appetite Chest pain Bleeding, blood in your stools, or dark, tarry looking stools Hoarseness. Peptic esophagitis - discharge; Reflux esophagitis - discharge; GERD - discharge; Heartburn - chronic - discharge. Gastroesophageal reflux disease Gastroesophageal reflux disease. Falk GW, Katzka DA. Diseases of the esophagus. Encyclopedia Entry for Gastroesophageal Reflux : Gastroesophageal reflux disease - children. When we eat, food passes from the throat to the stomach through the esophagus. A ring of muscle fibers in the lower esophagus prevents swallowed food from moving back up. When this ring of muscle does not close all the way, stomach contents can leak back into the esophagus. This is called reflux or gastroesophageal reflux. In infants, this ring of muscles has not fully developed, and this can cause reflux. This is why babies often spit up after feeding. Reflux in infants goes away once this muscle develops, often by age 1 year. When symptoms continue or become worse, it may be a sign of GERD. Certain factors can lead to GERD in children, including: Birth defects, such as hiatal hernia , a condition in which part of the stomach extends through an opening of the diaphragm into the chest. The diaphragm is the muscle that separates the chest from the abdomen. Obesity. Certain medicines, such as some medicines used for asthma. Secondhand smoke. Surgery of the upper abdomen. Brain disorders, such as cerebral palsy. Genetics -- GERD tends to run in families. Common symptoms of GERD in children and teens include: Nausea, bringing food back up (regurgitation), or perhaps vomiting. Reflux and heartburn. Younger children may not be able to pinpoint the pain as well and instead describe widespread belly or chest pain. Choking, chronic cough, or wheezing. Hiccups or burps. Not wanting to eat, eating only a small amount, or avoiding certain foods. Weight loss or not gaining weight. Feeling that food is stuck behind the breastbone or pain with swallowing. Hoarseness or a change in voice. Your child may not need any tests if the symptoms are mild. A test called a barium swallow or upper GI may be performed to confirm the diagnosis. In this test, your child will swallow a chalky substance to highlight the esophagus, stomach, and upper part of his small intestine. It can show if liquid is backing up from the stomach into the esophagus or if anything is blocking or narrowing these areas. If the symptoms do not improve, or they come back after the child has been treated with medicines, the health care provider may perform a test. One test is called an upper endoscopy (EGD). The test: Is done with a small camera (flexible endoscope) that is inserted down the throat Examines the lining of the esophagus, stomach, and first part of the small intestine The provider may also perform tests to: Measure how often stomach acid enters esophagus Measure the pressure inside the lower part of the esophagus. Lifestyle changes can often help treat GERD successfully. They are more likely to work for children with milder symptoms or symptoms that do not occur often. Lifestyle changes mainly include: Losing weight, if overweight Wearing clothes that are loose around the waist Sleeping with the head of the bed slightly raised, for children with nighttime symptoms Not lying down for 3 hours after eating The following diet changes may help if a food appears to be causing symptoms: Avoiding food with too much sugar or foods that are very spicy Avoiding chocolate, peppermint, or drinks with caffeine Avoiding acidic drinks such as colas or orange juice Eating smaller meals more often throughout the day Talk with your child's provider before limiting fats. The benefit of reducing fats in children is not as well proven. It's vital to make sure children have the proper nutrients for healthy growth. Parents or caretakers who smoke should quit smoking. Never smoke around children. Secondhand smoke can cause GERD in children. If your child's provider says it's OK to do so, you can give your child over-the-counter (OTC) acid suppressors. They help reduce the amount of acid produced by the stomach. These medicines work slowly, but relieve the symptoms for a longer period. They include: Proton pump inhibitors H2 blockers Your child's provider may also suggest using antacids along with other medicines. Do not give your child any of these medicines without first checking with the provider. If these treatment methods fail to manage symptoms, anti-reflux surgery may be an option for children with severe symptoms. For example, surgery may be considered in children who develop breathing problems. Talk with your child's provider about what options may be best for your child. Most children respond well to treatment and to lifestyle changes. However, many children need to continue taking medicines to control their symptoms. Children with GERD are more likely to have problems with reflux and heartburn as adults. Complications of GERD in children may include: Asthma that might get worse Damage to the lining of the esophagus, which may cause scarring and narrowing Ulcer in the esophagus (rare). Call your child's provider if symptoms do not improve with lifestyle changes. Also call if the child has these symptoms: Bleeding Choking (coughing, shortness of breath) Feeling full quickly when eating Frequent vomiting Hoarseness Loss of appetite Trouble swallowing or pain with swallowing Weight loss. You can help reduce risk factors for GERD in children by taking these steps: Help your child stay at a healthy weight with a healthy diet and regular exercise. Never smoke around your child. Keep a smoke-free home and car. If you smoke, quit. Peptic esophagitis - children; Reflux esophagitis - children; GERD - children; Heartburn - chronic - children; Dyspepsia - GERD - children. Khan S, Orenstein SR. Gastroesophageal reflux disease. Encyclopedia Entry for Gastroesophageal Reflux : Gastroesophageal reflux disease. When you eat, food passes from the throat to the stomach through the esophagus. A ring of muscle fibers in the lower esophagus prevents swallowed food from moving back up. These muscle fibers are called the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). When this ring of muscle does not close all the way, stomach contents can leak back into the esophagus. This is called reflux or gastroesophageal reflux. Reflux may cause symptoms. Harsh stomach acids can also damage the lining of the esophagus. Gastroesophageal reflux disease The risk factors for reflux include: Use of alcohol (possibly) Hiatal hernia (a condition in which part of the stomach moves above the diaphragm, which is the muscle that separates the chest and abdominal cavities) Obesity Pregnancy Scleroderma Smoking Reclining within 3 hours after eating Heartburn and gastroesophageal reflux can be brought on or made worse by pregnancy. Symptoms can also be caused by certain medicines, such as: Anticholinergics (for example, sea sickness medicine) Bronchodilators for asthma Calcium channel blockers for high blood pressure Dopamine-active drugs for Parkinson disease Progestin for abnormal menstrual bleeding or birth control Sedatives for insomnia or anxiety Tricyclic antidepressants Talk to your health care provider if you think one of your medicines may be causing heartburn. Never change or stop taking a medicine without first talking to your provider. Heartburn Watch this video about: Heartburn. Common symptoms of GERD include: Feeling that food is stuck behind the breastbone Heartburn or a burning pain in the chest Nausea after eating Less common symptoms are: Bringing food back up (regurgitation) Cough or wheezing Difficulty swallowing Hiccups Hoarseness or change in voice Sore throat Symptoms may get worse when you bend over or lie down, or after you eat. Symptoms may also be worse at night. You may not need any tests if your symptoms are mild. If your symptoms are severe or they come back after you have been treated, your doctor may perform a test called an upper endoscopy (EGD). This is a test to examine the lining of the esophagus, stomach, and first part of the small intestine. It is done with a small camera (flexible endoscope) that is inserted down the throat. You may also need one or more of the following tests: A test that measures how often stomach acid enters the tube that leads from the mouth to the stomach (called the esophagus) A test to measure the pressure inside the lower part of the esophagus ( esophageal manometry ) A positive stool occult blood test may diagnose bleeding that is coming from the irritation in the esophagus, stomach, or intestines. You can make many lifestyle changes to help treat your symptoms. Other tips include: If you are overweight or obese, in many cases, losing weight can help. Raise the head of the bed if your symptoms get worse at night. Have your dinner 2 to 3 hours before going to sleep. Avoid drugs such as aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), or naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn). Take acetaminophen (Tylenol) to relieve pain. Take all of your medicines with plenty of water. When your provider gives you a new medicine, ask whether it will make your heartburn worse. You may use over-the-counter antacids after meals and at bedtime, although the relief may not last very long. Common side effects of antacids include diarrhea or constipation. Other over-the-counter and prescription medicines can treat GERD. They work more slowly than antacids, but give you longer relief. Your pharmacist, doctor, or nurse can tell you how to take these medicines. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) decrease the amount of acid produced in your stomach. H2 blockers also lower the amount of acid released in the stomach. Anti-reflux surgery may be an option for people whose symptoms do not go away with lifestyle changes and medicines. Heartburn and other symptoms should improve after surgery. But you may still need to take medicines for your heartburn. There are also new therapies for reflux that can be performed through an endoscope (a flexible tube passed through the mouth into the stomach). Most people respond to lifestyle changes and medicines. However, many people need to continue taking medicines to control their symptoms. Complications may include: Worsening of asthma A change in the lining of the esophagus that can increase the risk of cancer ( Barrett esophagus ) Bronchospasm (irritation and spasm of the airways due to acid) Long-term (chronic) cough or hoarseness Dental problems Ulcer in the esophagus Stricture (a narrowing of the esophagus due to scarring). Call your provider if symptoms do not improve with lifestyle changes or medicine. Also call if you have: Bleeding Choking (coughing, shortness of breath) Feeling filled up quickly when eating Frequent vomiting Hoarseness Loss of appetite Trouble swallowing (dysphagia) or pain with swallowing (odynophagia) Weight loss Feeling like food or pills are sticking behind the breast bone. Avoiding factors that cause heartburn may help prevent symptoms. Obesity is linked to GERD. Maintaining a healthy body weight may help prevent the condition.

PMID: 25863867 www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25863867. Falk GW, Katzka DA. Diseases of the esophagus. Encyclopedia Entry for Gastroesophageal Reflux : Gastroesophageal reflux in infants. When a person eats, food passes from the throat to the stomach through the esophagus. The esophagus is called the food pipe or swallowing tube. A ring of muscle fibers prevents food at the top of the stomach from moving up into the esophagus. These muscle fibers are called the lower esophageal sphincter, or LES. If this muscle does not close well, food can leak back into the esophagus. This is called gastroesophageal reflux. A small amount of gastroesophageal reflux is normal in young infants. However, ongoing reflux with frequent vomiting can irritate the esophagus and make the infant fussy. Severe reflux that causes weight loss or breathing problems is not normal. Symptoms may include: Cough, especially after eating Excessive crying as if in pain Excessive vomiting during the first few weeks of life; worse after eating Extremely forceful vomiting Not feeding well Refusing to eat Slow growth Weight loss Wheezing or other breathing problems. The health care provider can often diagnose the problem by asking about the infant's symptoms and doing a physical exam. Infants who have severe symptoms or are not growing well may need more testing to find the best treatment. Tests that may be done include: Esophageal pH monitoring of stomach contents entering the esophagus X-ray of the esophagus X-ray of the upper gastrointestinal system after the baby has been given a special liquid, called contrast, to drink. Often, no feeding changes are needed for infants who spit up but are growing well and seem otherwise content. Your provider may suggest simple changes to help the symptoms such as: Burp the baby after drinking 1 to 2 ounces (30 to 60 milliliters) of formula, or after feeding on each side if breastfeeding. Add 1 tablespoon (2.5 grams) of rice cereal to 2 ounces (60 milliliters) of formula, milk, or expressed breast milk. If needed, change the nipple size or cut a small x in the nipple. Hold the baby upright for 20 to 30 minutes after feeding. Raise the head of the crib. However, your infant should still sleep on the back, unless your provider suggests otherwise. When the infant begins to eat solid food, feeding thickened foods may help. Medicines can be used to reduce acid or increase the movement of the intestines. Most infants outgrow this condition. Rarely, reflux continues into childhood and causes esophageal damage. Complications may include: Aspiration pneumonia caused by stomach contents passing into the lungs Irritation and swelling of the esophagus Scarring and narrowing of the esophagus. Call your provider if your baby: Is vomiting forcefully and often Has other symptoms of reflux Has problems breathing after vomiting Is refusing food and losing or not gaining weight Is crying often.

Encyclopedia Entry for Gastroparesis : Gastroparesis. The exact cause of gastroparesis is unknown. It may be caused by a disruption of nerve signals to the stomach. The condition is a common complication of diabetes. It can also follow some surgeries. Risk factors for gastroparesis include: Diabetes Gastrectomy (surgery to remove part of the stomach) Systemic sclerosis Use of medicine that blocks certain nerve signals (anticholinergic medicine). Symptoms may include: Abdominal distention Hypoglycemia (in people with diabetes) Nausea Premature abdominal fullness after meals Weight loss without trying Vomiting Abdominal pain. Tests you may need include: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) Gastric emptying study (using isotope labeling) Upper GI series. People with diabetes should always control their blood sugar levels. Better control of blood sugar level may improve symptoms of gastroparesis. Eating small and more frequent meals and soft foods may also help relieve some symptoms. Medicines that may help include: Cholinergic drugs, which act on acetylcholine nerve receptors Erythromycin Metoclopramide, a medicine that helps empty the stomach Serotonin antagonist drugs, which act on serotonin receptors Other treatments may include: Botulinum toxin (Botox) injected into the outlet of the stomach (pylorus) Surgical procedure that creates an opening between the stomach and small intestine to allow food to move through the digestive tract more easily (gastroenterostomy). Many treatments seem to provide only temporary benefit. Ongoing nausea and vomiting may cause: Dehydration Electrolyte imbalances Malnutrition People with diabetes may have serious complications from poor blood sugar control. Changes in your diet may help control symptoms. Call your health care provider if symptoms continue or if you have new symptoms.

| Gastroschisis | ETDF | 160,490,730,950,12690,5260,12710,92500,269710,475470 | Congenital defect with opening in abdominal wall through which organs may protrude. Encyclopedia Entry for Gastroschisis : Gastroschisis repair. The goal of the procedure is to place the organs back into the baby's belly and fix the defect. Repair may be done right after the baby is born. This is called primary repair. Or, the repair is done in stages. This is called staged repair. Surgery for primary repair is done in the following way: If possible, the surgery is performed the day your baby is born. This surgery is done when there is only a small amount of intestine outside the belly and the intestine isn't very swollen. Right after birth, the intestine that is outside the belly is placed in a special bag or is covered with a plastic wrap to protect it. Your baby is then prepared for surgery. Your baby receives general anesthesia. This is medicine that allows your baby to sleep and be pain-free during the operatio The surgeon examines your baby's intestine (bowel) closely for signs of damage or other birth defects. Unhealthy parts are removed. The healthy edges are stitched together. The intestine is placed back into the belly. The opening in the wall of the belly is repaired. Staged repair is done when your baby isn't stable enough for primary repair. It may also be done if the baby's intestine is very swollen or there is a large amount of intestine outside the body. Or, it is done when the baby's belly isn't large enough to contain all of the intestine. The repair is performed the following way: Right after birth, the baby's intestine and any other organs that are outside the belly are placed in a long plastic pouch. This pouch is called a silo. The silo is then attached to the baby's belly. The other end of the silo is hung above the baby. This allows gravity to help the intestine to slip into the belly. Each day, the health care provider also gently tightens the silo to push the intestine into the belly. It may take up to 2 weeks for all of the intestine and any other organs to be back inside the belly. The silo is then removed. The opening in the belly is repaired. More surgery may be needed at a later time to repair the muscles in your baby's belly. Gastroschisis is a life-threatening condition. It needs to be treated soon after birth so that the baby's organs can develop and be protected in the belly. Risks for anesthesia and surgery in general are: Allergic reactions to medicines Breathing problems Bleeding Infection Risks for gastroschisis repair are: Breathing problems if the baby's belly area (abdominal space) is smaller than normal. The baby may need a breathing tube and breathing machine for a few days or weeks after surgery. Inflammation of tissues that line the wall of the abdomen and cover the abdominal organs. Organ injury. Problems with digestion and absorbing nutrients from food, if a baby has a lot of damage to the small bowel. Temporary paralysis (muscles stop moving) of the small bowel. Abdominal wall hernia. Gastroschisis is usually seen on ultrasound before the baby is born. The ultrasound may show loops of bowel freely floating outside the baby's belly. After gastroschisis is found, your baby will be followed very closely to make sure he or she is growing. Your baby should be delivered at a hospital that has a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and a pediatric surgeon. A NICU is set up to handle emergencies that occur at birth. A pediatric surgeon has special training in surgery for babies and children. Most babies who have gastroschisis are delivered by cesarean section. After surgery, your baby will receive care in the NICU. The baby will be placed in a special to keep your baby warm. Your baby may need to be on a breathing machine until organ swelling has decreased and the size of the belly area has increased. Other treatments your baby will probably need after surgery are: A nasogastric (NG) tube placed through the nose to drain the stomach and keep it empty. Antibiotics. Fluids and nutrients given through a vein. Oxygen. Pain medicines. Feedings are started through the NG tube as soon as your baby's bowel starts functioning after surgery. Feedings by mouth will start very slowly. Your baby may eat slowly and may need feeding therapy, lots of encouragement, and time to recover after a feeding. The average stay in the hospital is a few weeks up to a few months. You may be able to take your baby home once he or she is taking all foods by mouth and gaining weight. After you go home, your child may develop a blockage in the intestines ( bowel obstruction ) due to a kink or scar in the intestines. The doctor can tell you how this will be treated. Most of the time, gastroschisis can be corrected with one or two surgeries. How well your baby does will depend on how much damage there was to the intestine. After recovering from surgery, most children with gastroschisis do very well and live normal lives. Most babies who are born with gastroschisis do not have any other birth defects. Abdominal wall defect repair - gastroschisis. Gastroschisis repair - series Gastroschisis repair - series. Chung DH. Pediatric surgery. Encyclopedia Entry for Gastroschisis : Gastroschisis. Babies with gastroschisis are born with a hole in the abdominal wall. The child's intestines often stick out (protrude) through the hole. The condition looks similar to an omphalocele. An omphalocele, however, is a birth defect in which the infant's intestine or other abdominal organs protrude through a hole in the belly button area and are covered with a membrane. With gastroschisis, there is no covering membrane. Abdominal wall defects develop as a baby grows inside the mother's womb. During development, the intestine and other organs (liver, bladder, stomach, and ovaries, or testes) develop outside the body at first and then usually return inside. In babies with gastroschisis, the intestines (and sometimes the stomach) remain outside the abdominal wall, without a membrane covering them. The exact cause of abdominal wall defects is not known. Mothers with the following may be at higher risk of having babies with gastrochisis: Younger age Fewer resources Poor nutrition during pregnancy Use illegal substances Babies with gastroschisis usually do not have other related birth defects. A gastroschisis can be seen when the baby is born. There is a hole in the abdominal wall. The small intestine is often outside the abdomen near the umbilical cord. Other organs that may also be seen are the large intestine, stomach, or gallbladder. If the intestine is damaged, the baby will have problems absorbing food. Prenatal ultrasounds often identify infants with gastroschisis before birth. While pregnant, the mother may have shown signs of too much amniotic fluid ( polyhydramnios ). A prenatal ultrasound often identifies the gastroschisis. If gastroschisis is found before birth, the mother will need special monitoring to make sure her unborn baby remains healthy. Treatment for gastroschisis is surgery to repair the defect. The surgeon will put the bowel back into the abdomen and close the defect, if possible. If the abdominal cavity is too small, a mesh sack is stitched around the borders of the defect and the edges of the defect are pulled up. The sack is called a silo. Over 5 to 7 days, the intestine returns into the abdominal cavity and the defect can be closed. Other treatments for the baby include nutrients by IV and antibiotics to prevent infection. The baby's temperature must be carefully controlled, because the exposed intestine allows a lot of body heat to escape. The baby has a good chance of recovering if there are no other problems and if the abdominal cavity is large enough. A very small abdominal cavity may result in complications that require more surgeries. Plans should be made for careful delivery and immediate management of the problem after birth. The baby should be delivered in a medical center that is skilled at repairing abdominal wall defects. Babies are likely to do better if they do not need to be taken to another center for further treatment. A small number of babies with gastroschisis (about 10%) may have parts of the intestines that did not develop normally in the womb. With these babies, their intestines may not work normally even after the organs are put back inside the abdominal cavity. The increased pressure from the misplaced abdominal contents can decrease blood flow to the intestines and kidneys. It can also make it difficult for the baby to expand the lungs, leading to breathing problems. Another complication is bowel death necrosis. This occurs when intestinal tissue dies due to low blood flow or infection. This condition is apparent at birth and will be detected in the hospital at delivery if it has not already been seen on routine fetal ultrasound exams during pregnancy. If you have given birth at home and your baby appears to have this defect, call the local emergency number (such as 911) right away. This problem is diagnosed and repaired in the hospital at birth. After returning home, call your health care provider if your baby develops any of these symptoms: Decreased bowel movements Feeding problems Fever Green or yellowish green vomit Swollen belly area Vomiting (different than normal baby spit-up) Worrisome behavioral changes.

Encyclopedia Entry for Gaucher Disease : Gaucher disease. Gaucher disease is rare in the general population. People of Eastern and Central European (Ashkenazi) Jewish heritage are more likely to have this disease. It is an autosomal recessive disease. This means that the mother and father must both pass one abnormal copy of the disease gene to their child in order for the child to develop the disease. A parent who carries an abnormal copy of the gene but doesn't have the disease is called a silent carrier. The lack of the glucocerebrosidase enzyme causes harmful substances to build up in the liver, spleen, bones, and bone marrow. These substances prevent cells and organs from working properly. There are 3 main subtypes of Gaucher disease: Type 1 is most common. It involves bone disease, anemia, an enlarged spleen and low platelets (thrombocytopenia). Type I affects both children and adults. It is most common in the Ashkenazi Jewish population. Type 2 usually begins in infancy with severe neurologic involvement. This form can lead to rapid, early death. Type 3 may cause liver, spleen, and brain problems. People with this type may live into adulthood. Bleeding because of low platelet count is the most common symptom seen in Gaucher disease. Other symptoms may include: Bone pain and fractures Cognitive impairment (decreased thinking ability) Easy bruising Enlarged spleen Enlarged liver Fatigue Heart valve problems Lung disease (rare) Seizures Severe swelling at birth Skin changes. The health care provider will perform a physical exam and ask about the symptoms. The following tests may be done: Blood test to look for enzyme activity Bone marrow aspiration Biopsy of your spleen MRI CT X-ray of your skeleton Genetic testing. Gaucher disease can't be cured. But treatments can help control and may improve symptoms. Medicines may be given to: Replace the missing GBA (enzyme replacement therapy) to help reduce spleen size, bone pain, and improve thrombocytopenia. Limit production of fatty chemicals that build up in the body. Other treatments include: Medicines for pain Surgery for bone and joint problems, or to remove the spleen Blood transfusions . For more information contact: Children's Gauchers Disease Research Fund: www.childrensgaucher.org National Gaucher Foundation: www.gaucherdisease.org. How well a person does depends on their subtype of the disease. The infantile form of Gaucher disease (Type 2) may lead to early death. Most affected children die before age 5. Adults with the type 1 form of Gaucher disease can expect normal life expectancy with enzyme replacement therapy. Complications of Gaucher disease may include: Seizures Anemia Thrombocytopenia Bone problems. Genetic counseling is recommended for prospective parents with a family history of Gaucher disease. Testing can determine if parents carry the gene that could pass on the Gaucher disease. A prenatal test can also tell if a baby in the womb has Gaucher syndrome.

Intestines Encyclopedia Entry for Giardia : Giardiasis - Giardia lamblia Encyclopedia Entry for Giardia : Giardia infection. The giardia parasite lives in soil, food, and water. It may also be found on surfaces that have come into contact with animal or human waste. You may become infected if you: Are exposed to a family member with giardiasis Drink water from lakes or streams where animals such as beavers and muskrats, or domestic animals such as sheep, have left their waste Eat raw or undercooked food that has been contaminated with the parasite Have direct person-to-person contact in daycare centers, long-term care homes, or nursing homes with people who are infected with the parasite Have unprotected anal sex Travelers are at risk for giardiasis throughout the world. Campers and hikers are at risk if they drink untreated water from streams and lakes. The time between becoming infected and symptoms is 7 to 14 days. Diarrhea is the main symptom. Other symptoms include: Abdominal gas or bloating Headache Loss of appetite Low-grade fever Nausea Weight loss and loss of body fluids Some people who have had a giardia infection for a long time continue having symptoms, even after the infection is gone. Tests that may be done include: Stool antigen test to check for giardia Stool ova and parasites exam String test (rarely performed). If there are no symptoms or only mild symptoms, no treatment may be needed. Some infections go away on their own within a few weeks. Medicines may be used for: Severe symptoms or symptoms that do not go away People who work in a daycare center or nursing home, to reduce the spread of disease Antibiotic treatment is successful for most people. These include tinidazole, nitazoxanide or metronidazole. A change in the type of antibiotic will be tried if symptoms do not go away. Side effects from some of the medicines used to treat giardia are: Metallic taste in the mouth Nausea Severe reaction to alcohol In most pregnant women, treatment should not start until after delivery. Some drugs used to treat the infection can be harmful to the unborn baby. These complications can occur: Dehydration (loss of water and other fluids in the body) Malabsorption (inadequate absorption of nutrients from the intestinal tract) Weight loss. Call your health care provider if: Diarrhea or other symptoms last for more than 14 days You have blood in your stool You are dehydrated. Purify all stream, pond, river, lake, or well water before drinking it. Use methods such as boiling, filtration, or iodine treatment. Workers in daycare centers or institutions should use good handwashing and hygiene techniques when going from child to child or person to person. Safer sexual practices may decrease the risk for getting or spreading giardiasis. People practicing anal sex should be especially careful. Peel or wash fresh fruits and vegetables before eating them.

Gums Encyclopedia Entry for Gingivitis : Gingivitis- various anaerobic bacteria in the mouth Encyclopedia Entry for Gingivitis : Gingivitis. Gingivitis is an early form of periodontal disease. Periodontal disease is inflammation and infection that destroys the tissues that support the teeth. This can include the gums, the periodontal ligaments, and bone. Gingivitis is due to the short-term effects of plaque deposits on your teeth. Plaque is a sticky material made of bacteria, mucus, and food debris that build up on the exposed parts of the teeth. It is also a major cause of tooth decay. If you do not remove plaque, it turns into a hard deposit called tartar (or calculus) that becomes trapped at the base of the tooth. Plaque and tartar irritate and inflame the gums. Bacteria and the toxins they produce cause the gums to become swollen, and tender. These things raise your risk for gingivitis: Certain infections and body-wide (systemic) diseases Poor dental hygiene Pregnancy (hormonal changes increase the sensitivity of the gums) Uncontrolled diabetes Misaligned teeth , rough edges of fillings, and ill-fitting or unclean mouth appliances (such as braces, dentures, bridges, and crowns) Use of certain medicines, including phenytoin, bismuth, and some birth control pills Many people have some amount of gingivitis. It often develops during puberty or early adulthood because of hormonal changes. It may last a long time or come back often, depending on the health of your teeth and gums. Symptoms of gingivitis include: Bleeding gums (when brushing or flossing) Bright red or reddish-purple gums Gums that are tender when touched, but otherwise painless Mouth sores Swollen gums Shiny appearance to gums. Your dentist will examine your mouth and teeth and look for soft, swollen, reddish-purple gums. The gums are most often painless or mildly tender when gingivitis is present. Plaque and tartar may be seen at the base of the teeth. Your dentist will use a probe to closely examine your gums to determine if you have gingivitis or periodontitis. Periodontitis is an advanced form of gingivitis that involves bone loss. Most of the time, more tests are not needed. However, dental x-rays may be done to see if the disease has spread to the supporting structures of the teeth. The goal of treatment is to reduce inflammation and remove dental plaque or tartar. Your dentist or dental hygienist will clean your teeth. They may use different tools to loosen and remove deposits from your teeth. Careful oral hygiene is necessary after professional teeth cleaning. Your dentist or hygienist will show you how to brush and floss properly. In addition to brushing and flossing at home, your dentist may recommend: Having professional teeth cleaning twice a year, or more often for worse cases of gum disease Using antibacterial mouth rinses or other aids Getting misaligned teeth repaired Replacing dental and orthodontic appliances Having any other related illnesses or conditions treated. Some people have discomfort when plaque and tartar are removed from their teeth. Bleeding and tenderness of the gums should lessen within 1 or 2 weeks after professional cleaning and with good oral care at home. Warm salt water or antibacterial rinses can reduce gum swelling. Over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medicines may also be helpful. You must maintain good oral care throughout your life to keep gum disease from returning. These complications can occur: Gingivitis returns Periodontitis Infection or abscess of the gums or the jaw bones Trench mouth. Call your dentist if you have red, swollen gums, especially if you have not had a routine cleaning and exam in the last 6 months. Good oral hygiene is the best way to prevent gingivitis. Brush your teeth at least twice a day. Floss at least once a day. Your dentist may recommend brushing and flossing after every meal and at bedtime. Ask your dentist or dental hygienist to show you how to properly brush and floss your teeth. Your dentist may suggest devices to help remove plaque deposits. These include special toothpicks, toothbrushes, water irrigation, or other devices. You still must brush and floss your teeth regularly. Antiplaque or antitartar toothpastes or mouth rinses may also be recommended. Many dentists recommend having teeth professionally cleaned at least every 6 months. You may need more frequent cleanings if you are more prone to developing gingivitis. You may not be able to remove all the plaque, even with careful brushing and flossing at home.

There are four major types of glaucoma: Open-angle glaucoma Angle-closure glaucoma, also called closed-angle glaucoma Congenital glaucoma Secondary glaucoma The front part of the eye is filled with a clear fluid called aqueous humor. This fluid is made in an area behind the colored part of the eye (iris). It leaves the eye through channels where the iris and cornea meet. This area is called the anterior chamber angle, or the angle. The cornea is the clear covering on the front of the eye that covers the iris, pupil, and angle. Anything that slows or blocks the flow of this fluid will cause pressure to build up in the eye. In open-angle glaucoma, the increase in pressure is often small and slow. In closed-angle glaucoma, the increase is often high and sudden. Either type can damage the optic nerve. Open-angle glaucoma is the most common type of glaucoma. The cause is unknown. The increase in eye pressure happens slowly over time. You cannot feel it. The increased pressure pushes on the optic nerve. Damage to the optic nerve causes blind spots in your vision. Open-angle glaucoma tends to run in families. Your risk is higher if you have a parent or grandparent with open-angle glaucoma. People of African descent are also at higher risk for this disease. Closed-angle glaucoma occurs when the fluid is suddenly blocked and cannot flow out of the eye. This causes a quick, severe rise in eye pressure. Dilating eye drops and certain medicines may trigger an acute glaucoma attack. Closed-angle glaucoma is an emergency. If you have had acute glaucoma in one eye, you are at risk for it in the second eye. Your health care provider is likely to treat your second eye to prevent a first attack in that eye. Secondary glaucoma occurs due to a known cause. Both open- and closed-angle glaucoma can be secondary when caused by something known. Causes include: Drugs such as corticosteroids Eye diseases such as uveitis (an infection of the middle layer of the eye) Diseases such as diabetes Eye injury Congenital glaucoma occurs in babies. It often runs in families. It is present at birth. It is caused when the eye does not develop normally. OPEN-ANGLE GLAUCOMA Most people have no symptoms. Once you are aware of vision loss, the damage is already severe. Slow loss of side (peripheral) vision (also called tunnel vision). Advanced glaucoma can lead to blindness. ANGLE-CLOSURE GLAUCOMA Symptoms may come and go at first, or steadily become worse. You may notice: Sudden, severe pain in one eye Decreased or cloudy vision, often called 'steamy' vision Nausea and vomiting Rainbow-like halos around lights Red eye Eye feels swollen CONGENITAL GLAUCOMA Symptoms are most often noticed when the child is a few months old. Cloudiness of the front of the eye Enlargement of one eye or both eyes Red eye Sensitivity to light Tearing SECONDARY GLAUCOMA Symptoms are most often related to the underlying problem causing the glaucoma. Depending on the cause, symptoms may either be like open-angle glaucoma or angle-closure glaucoma. The only way to diagnose glaucoma is by having a complete eye exam. You will be given a test to check your eye pressure. This is called tonometry. In most cases, you will be given eye drops to widen (dilate) your pupil. When your pupil is dilated, your eye doctor will look at the inside of your eye and the optic nerve. Slit-lamp exam Eye pressure is different at different times of the day. Eye pressure can even be normal in some people with glaucoma. So you will need other tests to confirm glaucoma. They may include: Using a special lens to look at the angle of the eye (gonioscopy). Photographs or laser scanning images of the inside of your eye (optic nerve imaging). Laser scanning images of the angle of the eye. Checking your retina -- The retina is the light-sensitive tissue at the back of your eye. Checking how your pupil responds to light (pupillary reflex response). 3-D view of your eye ( slit lamp examination ). Testing the clearness of your vision ( visual acuity ). Testing your field of vision ( visual field measurement ). Visual field test. The goal of treatment is to reduce your eye pressure. Treatment depends on the type of glaucoma that you have. OPEN-ANGLE GLAUCOMA If you have open-angle glaucoma, you will probably be given eye drops. You may need more than one type. Most people can be treated with eye drops. Most of the eye drops used today have fewer side effects than those used in the past. You also may be given pills to lower pressure in the eye. If drops alone do not work, you may need other treatment: Laser treatment uses a painless laser to open the channels where fluid flows out. If drops and laser treatment do not work, you may need surgery. The doctor will open a new channel so fluid can escape. This will help lower your pressure. Recently, new implants have been developed that can help treat glaucoma in people having cataract surgery. ACUTE ANGLE GLAUCOMA An acute angle-closure attack is a medical emergency. You can become blind in a few days if you are not treated. You may be given drops, pills, and medicine given through a vein (by IV) to lower your eye pressure. Some people also need an emergency operation, called an iridotomy. The doctor uses a laser to open a new channel in the iris. Sometimes this is done with surgery. The new channel relieves the attack and will prevent another attack. To help prevent an attack in the other eye, the procedure will often be performed on the other eye. This may be done even if it has never had an attack. CONGENITAL GLAUCOMA Congenital glaucoma is almost always treated with surgery. This is done using general anesthesia. This means the child is asleep and feels no pain. SECONDARY GLAUCOMA If you have secondary glaucoma, treating the cause may help your symptoms go away. Other treatments also may be needed. Open-angle glaucoma cannot be cured. You can manage it and keep your sight by following your provider's directions. Closed-angle glaucoma is a medical emergency. You need treatment right away to save your vision. Babies with congenital glaucoma usually do well when surgery is done early. How you do with secondary glaucoma depends on what is causing the condition. If you have severe eye pain or a sudden loss of vision, get immediate medical help. These may be signs of closed-angle glaucoma. You cannot prevent open-angle glaucoma. Most people have no symptoms. But you can help prevent vision loss. A complete eye exam can help find open-angle glaucoma early, when it is easier to treat. All adults should have a complete eye exam by the age of 40. If you are at risk for glaucoma, you should have a complete eye exam sooner than age 40. You should have regular eye exams as recommended by your provider. If you are at risk for closed-angle glaucoma, your provider may recommend treatment before you have an attack to help prevent eye damage and vision loss.

| Gonorrhea | CAFL | 660,600,712 | Sexually transmitted infection caused by Gonococcus bacterium Viral Encyclopedia Entry for Gonorrhea : Gonorrhea - Neisseria gonorrhoeae (G- cocci) Encyclopedia Entry for Gonorrhea : Gonorrhea. Gonorrhea is caused by the bacteria Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Any type of sex can spread gonorrhea. You can get it through contact with the mouth, throat, eyes, urethra, vagina, penis, or anus. Gonorrhea is the second most commonly reported communicable disease. Approximately 330,000 cases occur in the US each year. The bacteria grow in warm, moist areas of the body. This can include the tube that carries urine out of the body (urethra). In women, the bacteria may be found in the reproductive tract (which includes the fallopian tubes, uterus, and cervix). The bacteria can also grow in the eyes. Health care providers are required by law to tell the State Board of Health about all cases of gonorrhea. The goal of this law is make sure the person gets proper follow-up care and treatment. Sexual partners also need to be found and tested. You are more likely to develop this infection if: You have multiple sex partners. You have a partner with a past history of any STI. You do not use a condom during sex. You abuse alcohol or illegal substances. Symptoms of gonorrhea most often appear 2 to 5 days after infection. However, it may take up to a month for symptoms to appear in men. Some people do not have symptoms. They may not know that they have caught the infection, so do not seek treatment. This increases the risk of complications and the chances of passing the infection on to another person. Symptoms in men include: Burning and pain while urinating Need to urinate urgently or more often Discharge from the penis (white, yellow, or green in color) Red or swollen opening of penis (urethra) Tender or swollen testicles Sore throat (gonococcal pharyngitis) Symptoms in women can be very mild. They can be mistaken for another type of infection. They include: Burning and pain while urinating Sore throat Painful sexual intercourse Severe pain in lower abdomen (if the infection spreads to the fallopian tubes and uterus area) Fever (if the infection spreads to the fallopian tubes and uterus area) Abnormal uterine bleeding Bleeding after sex Abnormal vaginal discharge with greenish, yellow or foul smelling discharge If the infection spreads to the bloodstream, symptoms include: Fever Rash Arthritis-like symptoms. Gonorrhea can be quickly detected by looking at a sample of discharge or tissue under the microscope. This is called a gram stain. This method is fast, but it is not the most certain. Gonorrhea is most accurately detected with DNA tests. DNA tests are useful for screening. The ligase chain reaction (LCR) test is one of the tests. DNA tests are quicker than cultures. These tests can be performed on urine samples, which are easier to collect than samples from the genital area. Prior to DNA tests, cultures (cells that grow in a lab dish) were used to provide proof of gonorrhea, but are less commonly used now. Samples for a culture are most often taken from the cervix, vagina, urethra, anus, or throat. Rarely, samples are taken from joint fluid or blood. Cultures can often provide an early diagnosis within 24 hours. A confirmed diagnosis is available within 72 hours. If you have gonorrhea, you should ask to be tested for other sexually transmitted infections, including chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV herpes and hepatitis. A number of different antibiotics may be used for treating this type of infection. You may receive one large dose of oral antibiotics or take a smaller dose for seven days. You may be given an antibiotic injection or shot, and then perhaps be sent home with antibiotic pills. More severe cases of PID (pelvic inflammatory disease) may require you to stay in the hospital. Antibiotics are given intravenously. Never treat yourself without being seen by your doctor first. Your health care provider will determine the best treatment. About half of the women with gonorrhea are also infected with chlamydia. Chlamydia is treated at the same time as a gonorrhea infection. You will need a follow-up visit 7 days after if your symptoms include joint pain, skin rash, or more severe pelvic or abdomen pain. Tests will be done to make sure the infection is gone. Sexual partners must be tested and treated to prevent passing the infection back and forth. You and your partner must finish all of the antibiotics. Use condoms until you both have finished taking your antibiotics. All sexual contacts of the person with gonorrhea should be contacted and tested. This helps prevent further spread of the infection. In some places you may be able to take information and medicines to your sexual partner yourself. In other places, the health department will contact your partner. A gonorrhea infection that has not spread can almost always be cured with antibiotics. Gonorrhea that has spread is a more serious infection. Most of the time, it gets better with treatment. Complications in women may include: Infections that spread to the fallopian tubes can cause scarring. This can cause problems getting pregnant at a later time. It can also lead to chronic pelvic pain, PID, infertility, and ectopic pregnancy. Pregnant women with severe gonorrhea may pass the disease to their baby while in the womb or during delivery. It can also cause complications in pregnancy such as infection and preterm delivery. Abscess in the womb (uterus) and abdomen. Complications in men may include: Scarring or narrowing of the urethra (tube that carries urine out of the body) Abscess (collection of pus around the urethra) Complications in both men and women may include: Joint infections Heart valve infection Infection around the brain (meningitis). Call your health care provider right away if you have symptoms of gonorrhea. Most state-sponsored clinics will diagnose and treat STIs without charge. Avoiding sexual contact is the only sure way to prevent gonorrhea. If you and your partner do not have sex with any other people, this can greatly reduce your chance also. Safe sex means taking steps before and during sex that can prevent you from getting an infection, or from giving one to your partner. Safe sex practices include screening for STIs in all sexual partners, using condoms consistently, having fewer sexual contacts. Ask your provider if you should receive the hepatitis B vaccine-link and the HPV vaccine-link. You may also want to consider the HPV vaccine. Clap; The drip.

Gonorrhea is caused by the bacteria Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Any type of sex can spread gonorrhea. You can get it through contact with the mouth, throat, eyes, urethra, vagina, penis, or anus. Gonorrhea is the second most commonly reported communicable disease. Approximately 330,000 cases occur in the US each year. The bacteria grow in warm, moist areas of the body. This can include the tube that carries urine out of the body (urethra). In women, the bacteria may be found in the reproductive tract (which includes the fallopian tubes, uterus, and cervix). The bacteria can also grow in the eyes. Health care providers are required by law to tell the State Board of Health about all cases of gonorrhea. The goal of this law is make sure the person gets proper follow-up care and treatment. Sexual partners also need to be found and tested. You are more likely to develop this infection if: You have multiple sex partners. You have a partner with a past history of any STI. You do not use a condom during sex. You abuse alcohol or illegal substances. Symptoms of gonorrhea most often appear 2 to 5 days after infection. However, it may take up to a month for symptoms to appear in men. Some people do not have symptoms. They may not know that they have caught the infection, so do not seek treatment. This increases the risk of complications and the chances of passing the infection on to another person. Symptoms in men include: Burning and pain while urinating Need to urinate urgently or more often Discharge from the penis (white, yellow, or green in color) Red or swollen opening of penis (urethra) Tender or swollen testicles Sore throat (gonococcal pharyngitis) Symptoms in women can be very mild. They can be mistaken for another type of infection. They include: Burning and pain while urinating Sore throat Painful sexual intercourse Severe pain in lower abdomen (if the infection spreads to the fallopian tubes and uterus area) Fever (if the infection spreads to the fallopian tubes and uterus area) Abnormal uterine bleeding Bleeding after sex Abnormal vaginal discharge with greenish, yellow or foul smelling discharge If the infection spreads to the bloodstream, symptoms include: Fever Rash Arthritis-like symptoms. Gonorrhea can be quickly detected by looking at a sample of discharge or tissue under the microscope. This is called a gram stain. This method is fast, but it is not the most certain. Gonorrhea is most accurately detected with DNA tests. DNA tests are useful for screening. The ligase chain reaction (LCR) test is one of the tests. DNA tests are quicker than cultures. These tests can be performed on urine samples, which are easier to collect than samples from the genital area. Prior to DNA tests, cultures (cells that grow in a lab dish) were used to provide proof of gonorrhea, but are less commonly used now. Samples for a culture are most often taken from the cervix, vagina, urethra, anus, or throat. Rarely, samples are taken from joint fluid or blood. Cultures can often provide an early diagnosis within 24 hours. A confirmed diagnosis is available within 72 hours. If you have gonorrhea, you should ask to be tested for other sexually transmitted infections, including chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV herpes and hepatitis. A number of different antibiotics may be used for treating this type of infection. You may receive one large dose of oral antibiotics or take a smaller dose for seven days. You may be given an antibiotic injection or shot, and then perhaps be sent home with antibiotic pills. More severe cases of PID (pelvic inflammatory disease) may require you to stay in the hospital. Antibiotics are given intravenously. Never treat yourself without being seen by your doctor first. Your health care provider will determine the best treatment. About half of the women with gonorrhea are also infected with chlamydia. Chlamydia is treated at the same time as a gonorrhea infection. You will need a follow-up visit 7 days after if your symptoms include joint pain, skin rash, or more severe pelvic or abdomen pain. Tests will be done to make sure the infection is gone. Sexual partners must be tested and treated to prevent passing the infection back and forth. You and your partner must finish all of the antibiotics. Use condoms until you both have finished taking your antibiotics. All sexual contacts of the person with gonorrhea should be contacted and tested. This helps prevent further spread of the infection. In some places you may be able to take information and medicines to your sexual partner yourself. In other places, the health department will contact your partner. A gonorrhea infection that has not spread can almost always be cured with antibiotics. Gonorrhea that has spread is a more serious infection. Most of the time, it gets better with treatment. Complications in women may include: Infections that spread to the fallopian tubes can cause scarring. This can cause problems getting pregnant at a later time. It can also lead to chronic pelvic pain, PID, infertility, and ectopic pregnancy. Pregnant women with severe gonorrhea may pass the disease to their baby while in the womb or during delivery. It can also cause complications in pregnancy such as infection and preterm delivery. Abscess in the womb (uterus) and abdomen. Complications in men may include: Scarring or narrowing of the urethra (tube that carries urine out of the body) Abscess (collection of pus around the urethra) Complications in both men and women may include: Joint infections Heart valve infection Infection around the brain (meningitis). Call your health care provider right away if you have symptoms of gonorrhea. Most state-sponsored clinics will diagnose and treat STIs without charge. Avoiding sexual contact is the only sure way to prevent gonorrhea. If you and your partner do not have sex with any other people, this can greatly reduce your chance also. Safe sex means taking steps before and during sex that can prevent you from getting an infection, or from giving one to your partner. Safe sex practices include screening for STIs in all sexual partners, using condoms consistently, having fewer sexual contacts. Ask your provider if you should receive the hepatitis B vaccine-link and the HPV vaccine-link. You may also want to consider the HPV vaccine. Clap; The drip.

Also use Kidney Insufficiency. Joints Encyclopedia Entry for Gout : Gout. Gout is caused by having higher-than-normal level of uric acid in your body. This may occur if: Your body makes too much uric acid Your body has a hard time getting rid of uric acid When uric acid builds up in the fluid around the joints (synovial fluid), uric acid crystals form. These crystals cause the joint to become inflamed, causing pain, swelling and warmth. The exact cause is unknown. Gout may run in families. The problem is more common in men, in women after menopause, and people who drink alcohol. As people become older, gout becomes more common. The condition may also develop in people with: Diabetes Kidney disease Obesity Sickle cell anemia and other anemias Leukemia and other blood cancers Gout may occur after taking medicines that interfere with the removal of uric acid from the body. People who take certain medicines, such as hydrochlorothiazide and other water pills, may have a higher level of uric acid in the blood. Symptoms of acute gout: Only one or a few joints are affected. The big toe, knee, or ankle joints are most often affected. The pain starts suddenly, often during the night. Pain is often severe, described as throbbing, crushing, or excruciating. The joint appears warm and red. It is usually very tender and swollen (it hurts to put a sheet or blanket over it). There may be a fever. The attack may go away in a few days, but may return from time to time. Additional attacks often last longer. People will have no symptoms after a first gout attack. Many people will have another attack in the next 6 to12 months. Some people may develop chronic gout. This is also called gouty arthritis. This condition can lead to joint damage and loss of motion in the joints. People with chronic gout will have joint pain and other symptoms most of the time. Deposits of uric acid can form lumps below the skin around joints or other places such as the elbows, fingertips, and ears. The lump is called a tophus, from Latin, meaning a type of stone. Tophi (multiple lumps) can develop after a person has had gout for many years. These lumps may drain chalky material. Tests that may be done include: Synovial fluid analysis (shows uric acid crystals) Uric acid -- blood Joint x-rays (may be normal) Synovial biopsy Uric acid -- urine A uric acid level in the blood over 7 mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter) is high. But, not everyone with a high uric acid level has gout. Take medicines for gout as soon as you can if you have a sudden attack. Take nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen or indomethacin when symptoms begin. Talk to your health care provider about the correct dose. You will need stronger doses for a few days. A prescription medicine called colchicine helps reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation. Corticosteroids (such as prednisone) can also be very effective. Your provider may inject the inflamed joint with steroids to relieve the pain. The pain often goes away within 12 hours of starting treatment. Most of the time, all pain is gone within 48 hours. You may need to take daily medicines such as allopurinol (Zyloprim), febuxostat (Uloric) or probenecid (Benemid) to decrease the uric acid level in your blood. You may need these medicines if: You have several attacks during the same year or your attacks are quite severe. You have damage to joints. You have tophi. You have kidney disease or kidney stones. Diet and lifestyle changes may help prevent gouty attacks: Decrease alcohol, especially beer (some wine may be helpful). Lose weight. Exercise daily. Limit your intake of red meat and sugary beverages. Choose healthy foods, such as dairy products, vegetables, nuts, legumes, fruits (less sugary ones), and whole grains. Coffee and vitamin C supplements (may help some people). Proper treatment of acute attacks and lowering uric acid to a level less than 6 mg/dL allows people to live a normal life. However, the acute form of the disease may progress to chronic gout if not treated adequately. Complications may include: Chronic gouty arthritis. Kidney stones. Deposits in the kidneys, leading to chronic kidney failure. High levels of uric acid in the blood are associated with increased risk of kidney disease. Studies are being done to find out whether lowering uric acid reduces the risk of kidney disease. Call your provider if you have symptoms of acute gouty arthritis. You may not be able to prevent gout, but you may be able to avoid things that trigger symptoms. Taking medicines to lower uric acid can prevent progression of gout.

The condition may also develop in people with: Diabetes Kidney disease Obesity Sickle cell anemia and other anemias Leukemia and other blood cancers Gout may occur after taking medicines that interfere with the removal of uric acid from the body. People who take certain medicines, such as hydrochlorothiazide and other water pills, may have a higher level of uric acid in the blood. Symptoms of acute gout: Only one or a few joints are affected. The big toe, knee, or ankle joints are most often affected. The pain starts suddenly, often during the night. Pain is often severe, described as throbbing, crushing, or excruciating. The joint appears warm and red. It is usually very tender and swollen (it hurts to put a sheet or blanket over it). There may be a fever. The attack may go away in a few days, but may return from time to time. Additional attacks often last longer. People will have no symptoms after a first gout attack. Many people will have another attack in the next 6 to12 months. Some people may develop chronic gout. This is also called gouty arthritis. This condition can lead to joint damage and loss of motion in the joints. People with chronic gout will have joint pain and other symptoms most of the time. Deposits of uric acid can form lumps below the skin around joints or other places such as the elbows, fingertips, and ears. The lump is called a tophus, from Latin, meaning a type of stone. Tophi (multiple lumps) can develop after a person has had gout for many years. These lumps may drain chalky material. Tests that may be done include: Synovial fluid analysis (shows uric acid crystals) Uric acid -- blood Joint x-rays (may be normal) Synovial biopsy Uric acid -- urine A uric acid level in the blood over 7 mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter) is high. But, not everyone with a high uric acid level has gout. Take medicines for gout as soon as you can if you have a sudden attack. Take nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen or indomethacin when symptoms begin. Talk to your health care provider about the correct dose. You will need stronger doses for a few days. A prescription medicine called colchicine helps reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation. Corticosteroids (such as prednisone) can also be very effective. Your provider may inject the inflamed joint with steroids to relieve the pain. The pain often goes away within 12 hours of starting treatment. Most of the time, all pain is gone within 48 hours. You may need to take daily medicines such as allopurinol (Zyloprim), febuxostat (Uloric) or probenecid (Benemid) to decrease the uric acid level in your blood. You may need these medicines if: You have several attacks during the same year or your attacks are quite severe. You have damage to joints. You have tophi. You have kidney disease or kidney stones. Diet and lifestyle changes may help prevent gouty attacks: Decrease alcohol, especially beer (some wine may be helpful). Lose weight. Exercise daily. Limit your intake of red meat and sugary beverages. Choose healthy foods, such as dairy products, vegetables, nuts, legumes, fruits (less sugary ones), and whole grains. Coffee and vitamin C supplements (may help some people). Proper treatment of acute attacks and lowering uric acid to a level less than 6 mg/dL allows people to live a normal life. However, the acute form of the disease may progress to chronic gout if not treated adequately. Complications may include: Chronic gouty arthritis. Kidney stones. Deposits in the kidneys, leading to chronic kidney failure. High levels of uric acid in the blood are associated with increased risk of kidney disease. Studies are being done to find out whether lowering uric acid reduces the risk of kidney disease. Call your provider if you have symptoms of acute gouty arthritis. You may not be able to prevent gout, but you may be able to avoid things that trigger symptoms. Taking medicines to lower uric acid can prevent progression of gout.

GA most often affects children and young adults. It is slightly more common in females. The condition is usually seen in otherwise healthy people. Sometimes, it may be associated with diabetes or thyroid disease. The exact cause of GA is unknown. GA usually causes no other symptoms, but the rash may be slightly itchy. People usually notice a ring of small, firm bumps (papules) over the backs of the forearms, hands, or feet. Occasionally, they may find a number of rings. In rare cases, GA appears as a firm nodule under the skin of the arms or legs. In some cases, the rash spreads all over the body. Your health care provider may think you have a fungal infection when looking at your skin as the ring shape may look like ringworm. A skin scraping and KOH test can be used to tell the difference between GA and a fungal infection. You may also need a skin punch biopsy to confirm the diagnosis of GA. GA can resolve on its own. You may not need treatment for GA, except for cosmetic reasons. Very strong steroid creams or ointments are sometimes used to clear up the rash more quickly. Injections of steroids directly into the rings may also be effective. Some providers may choose to freeze the bumps with liquid nitrogen. People with severe or widespread cases may need medicines that suppress the immune system. Laser and ultraviolet light therapy (phototherapy) may also help. In most cases, GA disappears without treatment within 2 years. But, the rings can remain for many years. The appearance of new rings years later is not uncommon. Call your provider if you notice a ring-like bumps anywhere on your skin that do not go away within a few weeks. Pseudorheumatoid nodule - subcutaneous granuloma annulare; GA.

GPA mainly affects blood vessels in the lungs, kidneys, nose, sinuses, and ears. Other areas may also be affected in some cases. The disease can be severe and prompt treatment is important. The exact cause is unknown, but it is an autoimmune disorder. GPA is most common in middle-aged adults of northern European descent. It is rare in children, but has been seen in infants as young as 3 months old. Frequent sinusitis and bloody nose are the most common symptoms. Other early symptoms include a fever that has no clear cause, night sweats, fatigue , and a general ill feeling ( malaise ). Other common symptoms may include: Chronic ear infections Pain, and sores around the opening of the nose Cough with or without blood in the sputum Chest pain and shortness of breath as the disease progresses Loss of appetite and weight loss Skin changes such as bruises and ulcers of the skin Kidney problems Bloody urine Eye problems ranging from mild conjunctivitis to severe swelling of the eye. Less common symptoms include: Joint pain Weakness Abdominal pain. You may have a blood test that looks for proteins called antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA). These are often found in people with active GPA. However, this test is sometimes negative, even in people with the condition. A chest x-ray will be done to look for signs of lung disease. Urinalysis is done to look for signs of kidney disease such as protein and blood in the urine. Sometimes urine is collected over 24 hours to check how the kidneys are working. Blood tests may be done to exclude other illnesses. These may include: Antinuclear antibodies Anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) antibodies C3 and C4, cryoglobulins, hepatitis serologies, HIV Liver function tests Tuberculosis screen and blood cultures A biopsy is sometimes needed to confirm the diagnosis and determine how severe the disease is. A kidney biopsy is most commonly done. You may have one of the following: Nasal mucosal biopsy Open lung biopsy Skin biopsy Upper airway biopsy Other tests that may be done include: Sinus CT scan Chest CT scan. You will probably be treated glucocorticoids (such as prednisone). These are given along with other medicines that slow down the immune response. Medicines used with prednisone to treat GPA include: Rituximab (Rituxan) Cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) Methotrexate Azathioprine (Imuran) Mycophenolate These medicines are effective in severe disease, but they may cause serious side effects. Talk to your health care provider about your treatment plan. Other medicines used for the condition include: Medicines to prevent bone loss caused by prednisone Folic acid or folinic acid, if you are taking methotrexate Antibiotics to prevent lung infections. Support groups with others who suffer from similar diseases may help people with the condition and their families learn about the diseases and adjust to the changes associated with the treatment. Without treatment, people with severe forms of this disease can die within a few months. With treatment, the outlook for most patients is good. Most people who receive corticosteroids and other medicines that slow the immune response get much better. The disease may return about half the time. It often comes back within 2 years of stopping treatment, so ongoing follow-up and possibly treatment are needed. Complications most often occur when the disease is not treated. People with GPA develop tissue damage in the lungs, airways, and the kidneys. Kidney involvement may result in blood in the urine and kidney failure. Kidney disease can quickly get worse. Kidney function may not improve even when the condition is controlled by medicines. If untreated, kidney failure and possibly death occur in most cases. Other complications may include: Eye swelling Lung failure Coughing up blood Nasal septum perforation (hole inside the nose) Side effects from medicines used to treat the disease. Call your provider if: You develop chest pain and shortness of breath. You cough up blood. You have blood in your urine. You have other symptoms of this disorder. There is no known prevention.

Also see Hyperthyroid programs. Encyclopedia Entry for Graves Disease : Graves disease. The thyroid gland is an important organ of the endocrine system. The gland is located at the front of the neck above where the collarbones meet. This gland releases the hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), which control body metabolism. Controlling metabolism is important for regulating mood, weight, and mental and physical energy levels. When the body makes too much thyroid hormone, the condition is called hyperthyroidism. (An underactive thyroid leads to hypothyroidism.) Graves disease is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism. It is due to an abnormal immune system response that causes the thyroid gland to produce too much thyroid hormone. Graves disease is most common in women over age 20. But the disorder can occur at any age and can affect men as well. Younger people may have these symptoms: Anxiety or nervousness, as well as problems sleeping Breast enlargement in men (possible) Problems concentrating Fatigue Frequent bowel movements Hair loss Heat intolerance and increased sweating Increased appetite , despite having weight loss Irregular menstrual periods in women Muscle weakness of the hips and shoulders Moodiness, including irritability and anger Palpitations (sensation of a strong or unusual heartbeat) Rapid or irregular heartbeat Shortness of breath with activity Tremor (shakiness of the hands) Many people with Graves disease have problems with their eyes: The eyeballs may seem to be bulging out and may be painful. Eyes can feel irritated, itchy or be tearing more frequently. Double vision may be present. Severe symptoms such as decreased vision and damage to the cornea can also occur. Older people may have these symptoms: Rapid or irregular heartbeat Chest pain Memory loss or decreased concentration Weakness and fatigue. The health care provider will do a physical exam and may find that you have an increased heart rate. An exam of your neck may find that your thyroid gland is enlarged (goiter). Other tests include: Blood tests to measure levels of TSH, T3, and free T4 Radioactive iodine uptake and scan This disease may also affect the following test results: Orbit CT scan or ultrasound Thyroid stimulating immunoglobulin ( TSI ) Thyroid peroxidase (TPO) antibody Anti-TSH receptor antibody (TRAb). Treatment is aimed at controlling your overactive thyroid. Medicines called beta-blockers are often used to treat symptoms of rapid heart rate, sweating, and anxiety until the hyperthyroidism is controlled. Hyperthyroidism is treated with one or more of the following: Antithyroid drugs can block or change how the thyroid gland uses iodine. These drugs may be used to control the overactive thyroid gland before surgery or radioiodine therapy or as a long-term treatment. Radioiodine therapy in which radioactive iodine is given by mouth. It then concentrates in the overactive thyroid tissue and causes damage. Surgery may be done to remove the thyroid. If you have had radioactive iodine treatment or surgery, you will need to take replacement thyroid hormones for the rest of your life. This is because these treatments destroy or remove the gland. TREATMENT OF THE EYES Some of the eye problems related to Graves disease often improve after treatment with medicines, radiation, or surgery to treat the overactive thyroid. Radioiodine therapy can sometimes make eye problems worse. Eye problems are worse in people who smoke, even after the hyperthyroidism is treated. Sometimes, prednisone (a steroid medication that suppresses the immune system) is needed to reduce eye irritation and swelling. You may need to tape your eyes closed at night to prevent drying. Sunglasses and eye drops may reduce eye irritation. In rare cases, surgery or radiation therapy (different from radioactive iodine) may be needed to prevent further damage to the eye and loss of vision. Graves disease often responds well to treatment. Thyroid surgery or radioactive iodine often will cause an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism). Without getting the correct dosage of thyroid hormone replacement, hypothyroidism can lead to: Depression Mental and physical sluggishness Weight gain Dry skin Constipation Cold intolerance Abnormal menstrual periods in women. Call your provider if you have symptoms of Graves disease. Also call if your eye problems or other symptoms get worse or do not improve with treatment. Go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911) if you have symptoms of hyperthyroidism with: Decrease in consciousness Fever Rapid, irregular heartbeat Sudden shortness of breath.
