Each year, millions of Americans are impacted by digestive issues. The digestive system, sometimes referred to as the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, is affected by certain disorders. The small and large intestines, liver, stomach, gallbladder, and pancreas are all parts of the gastrointestinal tract. A wide range of illnesses, from mild to severe, are included under digestive disorders. Irritable bowel syndrome, cancer, lactose intolerance, gastric reflux disease, and hiatal hernia are among the common digestive problems. Bleeding, bloating, constipation, diarrhoea, heartburn, discomfort, nausea, and vomiting are among the most typical signs of digestive diseases.

• Abdominal Adhesions
• Appendicitis
• Gastritis

Track 03: Pancreatic Diseases

Inflammation of the pancreas is known as pancreatitis. Pain and edoema are results of inflammation. Pancreatitis can cause pain that radiates from your stomach to your back.One organ in your belly is the pancreas. It is positioned between your back and your stomach. Your pancreas is about that size and shape if you put your right hand over your stomach. The pancreas is responsible for controlling blood sugar levels and aiding in digestion. It produces hormones (like insulin) and digestive enzymes (like amylase). The pancreatic duct transports digestive enzymes to your small intestine.

• Pancreatic cancer
• Pancreas infection
• Acute pancreatitis

Track 04: Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are two subtypes of the chronic inflammatory gastrointestinal tract disease known as "inflammatory bowel disease" (IBD). When a typical stimulus, such food or intestinal flora, triggers an overly heightened immune response in genetically predisposed individuals, it happens. This exercise goes over the diagnosis, treatment, and oversight of inflammatory bowel disease. It also highlights the importance of the interprofessional team in enhancing patient outcomes.

inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are divided into two categories:

Track 05: Gallbladder and Biliary Disease

Gallbladder stones are a very frequent condition that typically show no symptoms. Some patients have biliary colic, which is a condition where a gallstone causes temporary blockage of the cystic duct, resulting in sporadic, often intense pain in the right upper quadrant or epigastrium, and occasionally between the scapula. Cholecystitis, an acute inflammation and infection of the gallbladder, develops in the patient if the obstruction of the cystic duct continues.

• Right upper quadrant abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting
• Ultrasound reveals
• Thickened gallbladder wall

Track 06: Chronic Liver Disease

The steady decline in liver function is known as chronic liver disease. The liver's activities include excreting bile, detoxifying toxic metabolic products, and producing clotting factors and other proteins. Fibrosis and cirrhosis are the results of an ongoing process that involves the inflammation, destruction, and regeneration of the liver parenchyma. The last stage of chronic liver disease, known as cirrhosis, is characterised by disturbance of the architecture of the liver, creation of extensive nodules, vascular reorganisation, neo-angiogenesis, and extracellular matrix deposition. The majority of chronic liver diseases are

• Alcoholic Liver Disease
• Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Track 07: Gastrointestinal Disorders

Gastro intestinal which runs from your mouth to your anus, is affected by gastrointestinal illnesses. Function-based and structural are the two types. When a GI tract is checked, it may appear normal, but the disease is impaired in its ability to move. The GI tract is impacted by these most frequently. During an inspection, your colon may appear odd or malfunction; these conditions are known as structural gastrointestinal illnesses. Surgical intervention may be required to remove the structural abnormalities.Common gastrointestinal disorders include:

• Celiac disease
• Constipation
