Download or read book Epidemiology Diagnosis and Management of Functional Abdominal Pain in Children written by and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Chronic abdominal pain represents a common problem in children. In almost 90% of children presenting with chronic abdominal pain, no organic cause is found and a diagnosis of functional abdominal pain is made. Initially this condition was referred to as 'recurrent abdominal pain' by Apley and Naish and it is currently defined as abdominal pain-related functional gastrointestinal disorders (AP-FGIDs); divided into functional dyspepsia (FD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), abdominal migraine (AM), functional abdominal pain (FAP) and functional abdominal pain syndrome (FAPS) according to the Rome III criteria. Children with AP-FGIDs report impaired health-related quality of life in relation to physical complaints and AP-FGIDs are ranked as second in causing school absence. The underlying pathophysiology of AP-FGIDs is considered to be multifactorial, but needs further elucidation. This lack of understanding often leads to extensive investigations, non-effective therapeutic modalities and staggering healthcare costs. This thesis elucidates current and new knowledge regarding epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnostic workup and treatment of functional abdominal pain to improve the understanding and to maximize the quality of care for children suffering from this condition. The focus of this thesis is to identify risk factors for developing pediatric AP-FGIDs and to evaluate diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. This thesis ends with the evaluation of a new complementary treatment option."--Samenvatting auteur.

Download or read book Management of Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders in Children written by David R. Fleisher and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-08-06 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A substantial body of literature exists on functional gastrointestinal disorders in children and on the bio-psycho-social model of clinical practice. However, the integration of these concepts into the management of children with functional disorders remains poorly defined. A satisfactory clinical outcome often depends on the clinician's ability to discern not only the biological factors in illness, but also the unique cognitive and emotional needs that pediatric patients bring to the task of healing. This book further defines bio-psycho-social theory with respect to six groups of functional disorders and illustrates, through clinical examples, concepts of management developed during 45 years of practice. This book is aimed at pediatricians, family practitioners, pediatric mental health practitioners, pediatric nurse practitioners and pediatric gastroenterologists.
Download or read book Pediatric Health Conditions in Schools written by Allison G. Dempsey and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2019-11-25 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the rates of chronic health conditions in childhood increase, school-based professionals regularly encounter children with chronic health conditions in the school setting. Students with chronic health conditions often require accommodations, assessment, intervention, and close collaboration with medical providers and families. However, most school-based clinicians (school psychologists, counselors, social workers) responsible for addressing the special needs of these children have no prior experience and have never taken coursework related to common pediatric conditions. Pediatric Health Conditions in Schools is a practical guide for school-based clinicians working with children with chronic health issues. Section I provides a broad overview of school-related issues for working with children with long-term health problems. This includes a review of common medical conditions and terminology and cross-cutting issues related to social, emotional, and academic functioning, as well as the role of the school-based professional in collaborating across systems of care. This section also reviews legal and policy issues, as well as alternative educational settings for students with chronic health needs. Section II focuses on prevention, assessment, intervention, and consultations strategies for both individual students and entire school systems. Finally, Section III includes chapters for common groups of medical conditions. Each chapter provides an overview of the condition(s), common school-related concerns, risk and protective factors and cultural considerations, and includes practical strategies, resources, and handouts for the school-based professional. Case examples are used throughout the book to illustrate key concepts and implications for the school setting.

Download or read book Functional Dyspepsia and Irritable Bowel Syndrome written by H. Goebell and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1998-03-31 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years functional gastrointestinal disorders have attracted much interest. These disorders are extremely common. They are characterized by symptoms and the lack of structural lesions that can be identified with clinically available routine diagnostic tests. Several functional abnormalities are now believed to play a role in the development of the symptoms. This book summarizes the presentations at the International Falk Symposium No. 99 `Functional Dyspepsia and Irritable Bowel Syndrome: Concepts and Controversies' that took place on May 27-28, 1997. This symposium brought together clinical and basic researchers and clinicians to improve interdisciplinary communication. The meeting comprehensively covered basic and clinical aspects of these disorders, and it not only summarized the current knowledge, but also identified scientific questions that need to be addressed in the future.
Download or read book Studies on Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders in Children and Adults written by Daniël Robin Hoekman and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part I: In analysis of costs for children with functional abdominal pain who participated in a randomized controlled trial (RCT), the annual costs per patient were approximately €2500. A systematic review of RCTs showed that approximately 41% of children with functional abdominal pain respond to placebo. Despite the widespread use of laxatives for childhood constipation, no firm recommendations can be made on which laxative to prefer. In a head-to-head-RCT, Transipeg® and Forlax® appeared equally effective and safe. Part II: In a cross-sectional study, we've shown that infliximab serum concentration correlates with disease activity in children. Furthermore, in adult quiescent Crohn's disease, determination of intermediate infliximab concentrations can facilitate timely dose adjustment. In analysis of long-term outcomes of an RCT in Crohn's disease, early combined immunosuppression was associated with fewer relapses and a lower use of anti-TNF-agents and corticosteroids, compared to conventional management. In a cohort of pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients, we found a strong discrepancy between inflammatory biomarkers and symptoms. Nonetheless, biomarkers were predictive of the risk of inflammation in asymptomatic patients. Part III: Ongoing (irritable bowel syndrome-type) gastrointestinal symptoms in quiescent IBD are much less common in children compared to adults. These symptoms appear to be unrelated to inflammation, both in children and in adults. Hypnotherapy is not superior to standard medical treatment in the management of IBD patients with irritable bowel syndrome-type symptoms.

Download or read book Integrative Gastroenterology written by Gerard E. Mullin and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-09-27 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Digestive complaints have become increasingly common. Recent statistics show that gastrointestinal complaints account for nearly a third of all visits to primary care doctors and that nearly one in two Americans suffer from digestive disease. Millions more suffer from conditions such as migraine headaches, arthritis, mood disorders, chronic fatigue, asthma, allergies, and menstrual dysfunction, which are all related to a disorder in digestive health. Despite the evidence in support of integrative approaches to treatment and prevention of digestive symptoms, these approaches are largely overlooked in treating gastrointestinal disorders. Rather, treatment plans tend to be exclusively pharmacologically based and have appreciable toxicity. Integrative Gastroenterology, Second edition, is a comprehensive guide to helping health care practitioners understand and appreciate how to manage patients with gastrointestinal conditions integrating conventional and complimentary approaches. This text reviews the latest advances in science and research with regards to the gut microbiome, physiology, and interconnections between the gut and other organ systems. Coverage includes a diverse range of treatment methods, such as probiotics, meditation, massage, yoga, supplements, special diets, energy medicine, homeopathy, and acupuncture, as well as a special section devoted to mind-body medicine in digestive health and disease. In discussing unconventional treatments, the authors address many of the controversies that surround the remedies.
