In this video-Mentor Ray A. Gapuz, your Fact Check Buddy shares his innovative and simple way of understanding Crohn's disease, Thromboangiitis Obliterans (Buerger's Disease) and Aprepitant. A sample NCLEX RN- Style question is integrated in the discussion. Watch, listen and learn with Mentor Ray.
What is Crohn's disease ?
Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) characterized by inflammation of the digestive tract, leading to various gastrointestinal symptoms and potential complications. This video provides a comprehensive overview of Crohn's disease, exploring its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options. Learn about the underlying factors contributing to Crohn's disease, including genetic predisposition, immune system dysfunction, environmental triggers, and alterations in the gut microbiome, and the interplay between these factors in the development of intestinal inflammation. Discover the potential symptoms of Crohn's disease, such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, rectal bleeding, weight loss, fatigue, and malnutrition, and the importance of early recognition and medical evaluation for appropriate management. Explore various diagnostic tests for Crohn's disease, including blood tests, stool studies, imaging studies (such as colonoscopy and CT scan), and endoscopic procedures, and the challenges associated with confirming the diagnosis and assessing disease severity. Learn about various treatment modalities for Crohn's disease, including medications to reduce inflammation and suppress the immune response (such as corticosteroids, immunomodulators, and biologic therapies), nutritional support, and surgical interventions (such as bowel resection) for severe cases or complications.
What is Thromboangiitis Obliterans ?
Thromboangiitis obliterans, also known as Buerger's disease, is a rare inflammatory condition that affects the blood vessels in the arms and legs, leading to reduced blood flow and tissue damage. This video offers a comprehensive overview of thromboangiitis obliterans, exploring its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options. Learn about the risk factors associated with thromboangiitis obliterans, including tobacco use, genetic predisposition, and immune system dysfunction, and the role of inflammation and vasculitis in the pathogenesis of the disease. Discover the potential symptoms of thromboangiitis obliterans, such as pain, numbness, tingling, and skin discoloration in the hands and feet, and the importance of early recognition and cessation of tobacco use for symptom management and disease progression. Explore various diagnostic tests for thromboangiitis obliterans, including vascular imaging studies (such as angiography and ultrasound), blood tests, and skin biopsies, and the challenges associated with confirming the diagnosis and distinguishing thromboangiitis obliterans from other vascular conditions. Learn about various treatment modalities for thromboangiitis obliterans, including smoking cessation programs, medications to improve blood flow and relieve symptoms (such as vasodilators and antiplatelet agents), and surgical interventions (such as sympathectomy) for severe cases or complications.
What is Aprepitant ?
Aprepitant is a medication used to prevent nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy and certain other medical treatments. This video provides a comprehensive overview of aprepitant, exploring its uses, mechanism of action, side effects, and safety information. Learn about the role of aprepitant in managing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV), including its effectiveness in preventing acute and delayed nausea and vomiting associated with highly emetogenic chemotherapy regimens.
