			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Constipation is one of the most common problems suffered today. It is characterized by an insufficient evacuation of feces in the intestine and causes severe pain and discomfort in the body. If not treated early on it can become a chronic disorder that degenerates in other diseases of the digestive system. The most common causes are a poor diet low in fiber and fluids, sedentary lifestyle, stress, age and overweight.</p>
<p><a href="http://nationalnursingreview.com/2011/10/how-to-avoid-constipation/"><img src="http://nationalnursingreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/how-to-avoid-constipation-300x200.jpg" alt="how to avoid constipation" title="how to avoid constipation" width="300" height="200" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2987" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Treatment</strong></p>
<p>To avoid constipation is to start by changing habits:</p>
<p><strong>Diet</strong>: Diet is one of the keys to treating this condition. It is advisable to include foods high in fiber and whole grains like wheat bran, oats, prunes because they help promote digestion and metabolism. It is important to eat a good portion of fruits and vegetables during the three daily meals accompanied by protein and drink lots of water throughout the day.</p>
<p><strong>Exercise</strong>: Key to eliminate toxins and counteract the effects of a sedentary lifestyle. Sports need at least three times a week and at least thirty minutes. In addition to improved cardiorespiratory system, stimulates and strengthens the digestive system especially the stomach area.<span id="more-2984"></span></p>

<p><strong>Bathing routine</strong>: Keep a schedule of entrance to the bathroom; helps accustom the intestine to take a regular habit for evacuation. You need to spend unhurried time and go because otherwise the reflection is suppressed and there is another episode of constipation.</p>

<p><strong>Laxatives</strong>: If possible avoid taking laxatives unless prescribed by a doctor. To the extent that the body adjusts to external factors to induce the evacuation, the syndrome may suffer sluggish bowel and limit the functions of the digestive system.</p>

<p>Good digestion is the basic condition necessary for good health, a nice slim line and a constant. And digestion which allows to food properly fulfills their function, the regular renewal of cell tissue, good quality blood to circulate in the blood vessels, regulate the metabolism of glands.</p>
<p>Poor digestion is the cause of an endless list of ailments and diseases, stomach pain, bloating, gas, constipation, ulcers, diarrhea, etc.. Good digestion is given first and foremost a well balanced healthy diet, good habits and the pace of the meal. A sick animal refuses food and rest; we should learn to imitate him too.<span id="more-2709"></span><br />

</script></p>
<p>Instead we usually just do the opposite. To digest well before meals can relax walking, listening to music and do some breathing exercises. Put most of the food on the table, so as not having to get up ten times during the meal. First of all, sit down, there&#8217;s nothing more to digest a meal done quickly standing in the kitchen.<br />

<p>You must dedicate the necessary time to eat, whether you are at home or in the company of your friends. Leave aside the concerns, and have pleasant conversations and calming, without discussions or nervousness. Keep straight and you have a table at the right height so as not to compress the stomach with poor posture.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The stomach has become a widespread and common disease, and this mainly because of bad eating habits and habits of life blundered. Unfortunately, many people are victims, but how to experience to prevent an upset stomach with a few simple good habits?</p>
<p><a href="http://nationalnursingreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/stomach-problem.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2474" title="stomach-problem" src="http://nationalnursingreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/stomach-problem.jpg" alt="stomach problem" width="300" height="250" /></a></p>
<p>If you are also often suffering stomach pains, then the first thing to do is understand the cause: be careful and marked on a calendar when the pain hits you.  And state after a stressful day and nerve-wracking? This is the first way to tell if this is incorrect behavior or a pathological problem.<span id="more-2472"></span><br />

<p>Checked that, it changes style of life if is this your problem. First, avoid eating foods with high fat or fried frequency: stomach ache and also on the line! Try to relegate these lavish meals at weekends at best, and follow giving the week a rich diet of fruit and vegetables: your stomach will thank you!<br />

<p>Quit smoking and reduce the amount of alcohol with meals (and between meals).  After dinner not to throw you immediately to bed, but let spend couple of hours to help digestion. If you are overweight, it&#8217;s time to seriously think about a diet: the kilos of too much stretch out to &#8220;to suffocate&#8221; the stomach and that provokes yourself the well-known heartburn.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The duodenal or gastric ulcer is characterized by a localized defect in the mucosa, more or less profound. The edge is sharp, covered with a false membrane usually surrounded by a yellowish bead edematous and congestive.</p>
<p>The ulcer is caused by an imbalance between aggressive factors and the mechanisms of mucosal defense.</p>
<p><strong>Epidemiology</strong><br />
Common chronic disease, but decreasing. Duodenal ulcer is 4 times more common than gastric. He reached the subjects of all ages. The incidence of these ulcers appears to be declining, this is related to the progressive eradication of Helicobacter pylori, the main factor for the recurrence of ulcer disease.</p>
<p><strong>Risk factors.</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Heredity</li>
<li>Smoking increases the risk by two because it increases acid secretion.</li>
<li>Aspirin and NSAIDs because they decrease the mucosal defense.</li>
<li>Alcohol</li>
<li>Stress its psychological role</li>
<li>The food (chewing gum).</li>
</ul>

<li>Respect sleep</li>
<li>Meals at fixed times, quietly, avoiding overeating and too fat</li>
<li>Eat slowly</li>
<li>Learn to relax and unwind</li>
<li>Avoid (unless prescription) medications irritants (aspirin, NSAIDs), or prefer the anti-selective cox.</li>
<li>Avoid stimulants (coffee, alcohol, tobacco, tea), carbonated drinks, which dilate the stomach, chewing gum and eating food irritating the stomach lining (boiled sweets, fermented milk, meat, spices, spicy or acidic condiments like vinegar, acidic fruit juices).</li>
<li>Thoroughness in taking medication: the disappearance of ulcer pain by the treatment does not necessarily mean cure (often 4 to 6 weeks of treatment are required)</li>

<p><strong>Diagnosis:</strong><br />
Guided by the clinic, it is confirmed by conducting a gastroscopy. H. pylori is found in 85% of gastric ulcers and 95% of duodenal ulcers.</p>
<p><strong>Treatment and course:</strong><br />
Using gastric bandages, generally based on alumina gel (Maalox), and / or antisecretory / anti-acid pump inhibitors proton (IPP). If H. Pylori confirmed, antibiotic therapy is established. The ulcer may be complicated, especially heavy bleeding causing anemia or perforation requiring emergency surgery. The ulcer may develop into gastric cancer patients, but not duodenal ulcer that never develops into cancer. In some cases, surgical treatment of the ulcer may be proposed to reduce the acid attack by vagotomy. </p>

Let the patient have received in the last 8 days of vitamin B12<br />
The test is simple, but less and less used. It involves the ingestion and injection of cobalamin:<br />

<p><strong>Acute gastritis</strong><br />
This acute inflammation of the gastric wall with inflammatory lesions and endoscopic atrophic, there are:</p>
<ul>
<li>gastritis drug are the most common: they are ulcerative and hemorrhagic</li>
<li>gastritis Stress during severe surgical diseases (acute renal failure, &#8230;), serious infections and severe burns,</li>
<li>gastritis, herpes virus CMV frequent since the advent of AIDS,</li>
<li>gastritis by ingestion of caustic accompanied by ulceration and hemorrhagic necrosis.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Clinique</strong><br />
Gastritis are very different and may be a characteristic ulcer syndrome, atypical epigastric pain or gastrointestinal bleeding revealing.<br />
<strong><br />
Treatment</strong><br />
It is based on the decision of the causative agent and the use of antacids and PPIs (the proton pump)<span id="more-597"></span><br />

<p><strong>Chronic gastritis</strong><br />
<strong>1. Atrophic gastritis disease Bierne</strong><br />
It is an autoimmune disease, resulting in a achlorydie a lack of secretion of intrinsic factor, essential for the absorption of vitamin B12 (at the ileum). This disease causes anemia associated with neurological disorders.<br />
Diagnosis: macrocytic anemia (large GR), the casing achlorydie gastric fundic atrophy on biopsy and fall of vitamin B12 in the blood.<br />
The Schilling test is diagnostic.<br />
Treatment is based on injection of vitamin B12 for life.</p>
<p><strong>2. Hypertrophic gastritis of Menetrier</strong><br />
It is a rare condition revealing atypical epigastric pain. Endoscopy revealed large folds diffuse congestion and epithelial hyperplasia mucosecretante.<br />
Biopsy of the snare allows the diagnosis.<br />
The medical treatment is initially (PPI), then surgery because of the high risk of cancer.<br />

<p><strong>3. Radiation gastritis</strong><br />
It develops after radiotherapy for loco-regional malignancy.</p>
<p><strong>4. Gastritis toxic</strong><br />
It is due to alcohol, tobacco and drugs. It is a bile reflux gastritis, developed by the Helicobacter pylori. Treatment is with antibiotics, but there may be recurrences. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is a malignant tumor that is to say, tumors formed by the uncontrolled proliferation of abnormal cells that invade surrounding structures and which tend to produce secondary tumors remotely (metastasis).

<p>The colon is a terminal portion of the digestive tract, large diameter (hence its name from the large intestine) which ensures the continuity of the digestive tract between the intestine and the anus through the rectum. It forms a framework that surrounds the abdominal cavity and small bowel loops. Its length is 1m to 1.50m and its size decreases the cecum (8cm) to the rectum (4 cm).<span id="more-578"></span><br />

<li>2nd killer of both sexes confused.</li>
<li>2nd cancer in women after breast cancer and 2nd in men after lung cancer.</li>
<li>16,000 deaths per year including 52% among men.</li>
<li>33,000 new cases each year.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Risk Factors.</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Age: rare before 40 years, incidence and mortality increase after.</li>
<li>Inheritance: genetic factor that induces a story on a vulnerability, ATCD family.</li>
<li>Feeding Behavior: cancer typical of rich countries where diets are high in fat and animal protein and especially low in fiber. Excessive cooking food at high temperature, barbecues, are important factors.</li>

<li>Advanced digestive diseases:<br />
Crohn&#8217;s disease;<br />
ulcerative colitis;<br />
polypoid lesions and to a lesser extent, diverticula ..</li>
<li>The effects of physical inactivity, tobacco, alcohol, coffee, obesity must be taken into account.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><br />
Population at risk:</strong><br />
people with call signs (gastrointestinal disorders, blood in stool, weight loss, change in transit);<br />
people with personal ATCD polyps or inflammatory diseases;<br />
people with family ATCD polyps and cancers: from 45 years should consult a specialist who will make an endoscopy and / or radiological examination and regular examinations, which will be renewed at regular intervals.<br />
<strong>asymptomatic population:</strong> it is the majority of people is from 45 years to be vigilant.<br />
The benchmark treatment is surgical excision of the tumor, possibly associated with chemotherapy and / or radiotherapy.</p>
