Introduction The term “gastrointestinal disorders,” or “GI disorders,” refers to a broad range of medical conditions affecting the digestive system, which is a complex system made up of organs like the esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas, all of which work together to process food, absorb nutrients, and eliminate waste. Abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, nausea, vomiting, and unintended weight loss are just a few of the symptoms that these disorders frequently present with. They may have a significant negative effect on a person’s everyday life and general health. In order to lessen the effects of…

Introduction The Ebola virus, a powerful pathogen from the family Filoviridae, is well-known for being the pathogenic agent that causes Ebola Virus Disease (EVD). The Ebola River, which is close to the outbreak’s beginning, inspired the name of the disease, which was first discovered in 1976 amid outbreaks in Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The fast and sometimes deadly course of EVD, which is characterized by symptoms including fever, muscular discomfort, vomiting, and bleeding, is what makes it distinctive. It is thought that this zoonotic virus spreads to people when they come into contact with infected animals,…

INTRODUCTION Eczema, commonly referred to as “atopic dermatitis,” is an inflammatory skin disease that is not communicable and is characterized by intense itching, redness, oozing, and scaly rashes. These symptoms may be uncomfortable, and they may also result in skin color changes and blisters. Eczema is caused by allergies in certain people. Eczema fluctuates throughout time. It causes very sensitive and dry skin, and it can be exacerbated by being exposed to allergens like dust mites or pet dander. Cosmetics, soaps, detergents, and lotions with strong smells are additional popular triggers. Eczema can also get inflamed when exposed to cleaning…

INtroduction Diphtheria is a bacterial illness that has traditionally been a major public health concern, producing severe respiratory and systemic consequences. This extremely infectious disease, caused by Corynebacterium diphtheria, predominantly affects the respiratory tract and can result in the production of a thick grayish-white membrane in the throat, restricting breathing and swallowing. Diphtheria has been the target of extensive medical research and public health initiatives, which have resulted in the development of effective vaccinations that have significantly decreased its prevalence and impact in many areas of the world. Diphtheria’s history is linked with the evolution of vaccination methods. Diphtheria was…

Introduction: Diarrhea is defined as the passage of three or more loose or liquid stools per day. Diarrhea is having more than 4 stools per day that are watery. This case is due to bacteria, viruses, or parasites. This digestive disorder can also cause chronic diarrhea, which is life-threatening. Chronic diarrhea makes people dehydrated due to its high range of motion and frequency. If a person frequently passes stools but they are of normal consistency, this is not diarrhea. Similarly, breastfed babies often pass loose, sticky stools. This is normal. If a person has had loose stools for more than…

Introduction: Diabetes is a chronic disease characterized by the pancreas’s insufficient insulin production. Insulin, a hormone, regulates blood sugar levels. Uncontrolled diabetes frequently results in hyperglycemia, also known as high blood glucose or elevated blood sugar, which can affect a variety of body systems, including neurons and blood vessels, over time. A glucose metabolic disorder characterized by the body’s impaired ability to produce or respond to insulin. As a result, keep healthy levels of sugar (glucose) in your blood. People with this disease typically have a high level of glucose in their blood, which can lead to a variety of…

Introduction: The genetic condition cystic fibrosis (CF) affects the lungs, digestive system, and other organs. This disorder has no cure, which means that people with a history of this disorder must take care of their loved ones. In this disorder, the body creates thick, viscous mucus that can cause organ damage or obstruction. CF occurs when the protein that makes mucus fails to function normally. This is the source of the mucous. Treatments can assist in managing the illness, relieving symptoms, and lowering the risk of consequences. This increases life expectancy and quality of life. CF is a hereditary disease…

Introduction: Crohn’s disease is an inflammatory bowel illness that causes chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. Several reasons behind this, including a dysregulated immune system, altered microbiota, genetic vulnerability, and environmental factors, have been linked to the origin of Crohn’s disease. The cause of the disease remains unexplained. In most cases, the disease’s development at a young age demands immediate but long-term treatment to prevent disease flares and disease progression with intestinal consequences. Thus, early treatment with medicines or innovative small molecules could significantly alter the disease’s natural history, reducing complications and the need for hospitalization and surgery. Crohn’s disease…

INTRODUCTION: People usually feel abdominal pain and acidity and take over-the-counter medications to suppress the symptoms. Do they do it right? The inflammatory disease that affects the rectum and colon can be called colitis. Colitis patients have mucosal inflammation that starts in the rectum and can extend to other areas of the gut, like the colon. The symptoms of this deadly disease are diarrhea, which can be diagnosed by colonoscopy. This disease affects those who have a family history of colitis, which means that genetics plays a role here, but along with this, some environmental factors can also cause it.…

INTRODUCTION: Celiac disease, also known as gluten-sensitive enteropathy, is an autoimmune illness in which the protein gluten causes damage to the small intestine and makes it difficult for the body to absorb critical nutrients. Gluten is a binding protein derived from grains such as wheat, rye, and barley; it is found in a wide range of products. Gluten acts as a toxin in celiac disease because the body is unable to digest it, and people with this disease show allergic symptoms as a defensive mechanism. While the gluten-free diet has risen in popularity in recent years, for some people with…
