Podcasts about megacolon

Does every constipated patient just need a bit more lactulose?! Not really. There are a TON of different causes of constipation - and actually, it can lead to pretty significant consequences for our patients, like obstipation, megacolon, abdominal pain, vomiting, dehydration, electrolyte abnormalities and much more. Giving great care to these patients includes providing appropriate nutritional support, maintaining hydration, performing enemas where needed, careful monitoring and supportive +/- postoperative care, and client support - all skills we're great at and ones you'll feel confident using after this podcast episode. ---

It's our 45th episode of Broken Records and we're looking into the curious case of Fischerspooner, the electroclash duo and performance troupe formed in 1998 in Chicago after Warner Fischer and Casey Spooner met at school. #1 is the first full-length album by electroclash duo Fischerspooner released in 2001. It originally received a limited run on International DeeJay Gigolo Records, and contained "The 15th", a cover of a Wire song from their album 154. #1 has been re-pressed several times with a different track listing. The title "Fucker" was also censored on subsequent releases, either as "!@*$%#", "*#!@¥¿", or "*#!@Y?". "Sweetness", "L.A. Song" and "Megacolon", all from the re-issue were originally released together on an EP titled #1 Supplement that was discontinued in time for the first re-issue. A limited edition pressing from 2003 also included a DVD with several remixes, a documentary, as well as four videos—"Sweetness", "The 15th" and two versions of "Emerge". The album itself is … ok!?? Certainly not your usual Broken Records fare, so why oh why is #1 (working title ‘Best Album Ever') in our hatful of shit?

Sherri Tutkus is the founder and CEO of GreenNurse Group, Nursing Director at Irie Bliss Wellness and host of GreenNurse on the Go Radio Show. Sherri is a cannabis nurse, patient and advocate. She earned her Bachelors in Science and Nursing from Boston College. She is highly skilled Registered Nurse with 30 years’ practical experience in various departments within the hospital and home setting. She is utilizing her expert nursing skills as a medical center specialist, clinical nurse liaison and educator to bridge the gap between patients and the cannabis community. Sherri has been educating and implementing holistic integrative healing modalities within her practice for over 20 years. She educates on the endocannabinoid system and the safe utilization of cannabis at dispensaries, hospitals, clinics, patients homes and she regularly does pop up events, seminars and expos. Sherri is an international speaker and she has contributed to the writing of the first cannabis nursing textbook with her cannabis nurse colleagues that will be available in nursing schools across the country. Sherri is a member of the American Cannabis Nurses Association and founding member of The Cannabis Nurses Network and was nominated as one of two nurses for “Health Professional of the Year” for the 2020 New England Cannabis Convention. Sherri brings passion and purpose to her work teaching bio-psycho-social-spiritual healing using cannabis as a tool. In this episode, Sherri shares from the annals of intensely personal experience detailing how her entire life went from one of a busy full time nurse, working in hospitals in Boston, single mother of three to becoming completely bedridden, dependent on others for care. She states, "I'm going to be a little bit transparent today. I think it'll be really helpful to talk from my own personal perspective in working with cannabinoid therapeutics and mental health in regards to my own mental health. So before I got sick in 2012 I had a history of migraines and ADHD-attention deficit disorder. Both of those were managed very well with medications, working full time as a nurse in the big teaching hospitals in Boston, three kids. I was highly functioning. When I took a hit from eating a bacteria while I was working I ended up in the intensive care unit, with a mega colon, an infectious disease, and it was really bad. So I got sick in 2012, took a hit to my gut. I went from high functioning to not functioning at all" From here Sherri lays out the journey back and how a fellow nurse at a particularly low point after she'd been put on 16 pharmaceuticals and was "circling the drain of despair", encouraged her to try cannabis as medicine. "I was on the other side of the bed, like in a really big bad way, all of a sudden I'm the patient and having to advocate for myself. So not only was it the physical issues that I had, but I also had to deal with the system, the system that I worked in, how is that going to affect my mental health and how are they going to take care of me? The trauma that I experienced from this illness is so overwhelming high functioning to not functioning, home- bed bound in the hospital- couldn't take care of my kids -could barely eat. I'm just gonna say it like it is explosive diarrhea, and nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, pooping your pants in public. So you can see how literally I can talk about anything. From running around the block naked to talking about poop and stuff that comes out your bum. I was so mortified, horrified that I had this gastrointestinal illness that was debilitating, complete loss of control, it was horrible. And then the issues with eating and being able to take in food. So that spiraled into, mental health issues, the developing anxiety and the depression. And over time, I wasn't getting better. I had agoraphobia, I was afraid to leave." And I'm going to tell you too, and this is the part of trauma that I'm really trying to help patients with now, when I'm working with them because I've been there. You know, I've been there. I call it medical trauma. And Pharmaceutical trauma. It was cannabinoid therapeutics that came into my life that really made the significant impactful change, that allowed everything that wasn't working to start working again and actually allowed me to start processing information from a different place because I was pulled out of the story of the sickness, the story or the trajectory of sickness. an illness. You know, it was the cannabinoids that actually opened the door that allowed everything that wasn't working to start working again." I was utilizing all of the other tools that existed. The traditional system, the holistic system, the functional integrative system, acupuncture, chiropractor, essential oils, homeopathy, you name it, and none of it worked. Why? Because my endocannabinoid system was completely 100% deficient. I was not making enough of my own internal endogenous cannabinoids to keep my system regulated including my brain" "And so what it took was it was one of my nursing colleagues who had just retired. She was one of my patients because I do energy healing work. I do Reiki and Reconnective Healing and she was one of my clients from energy healing. She had been trying to get in touch with me and she had just turned 70 and I kept blowing her off. So she came to my house with a big giant, big fat joint. And she walked into my bedroom and I looked at her and I go, are you kidding me? I mean, is this a joke? Seriously, you're bringing me weed? Like, how is this gonna help me?" There's much more within this episode as Sherri goes into a lot of detail on various aspects of cannabis as medicine and how it works to restore homeostasis, what this means for so many conceivably impossible to treat conditions, how this has profound implications, for ushering in a new paradigm of modern medicine, bridging the gaps between traditional and alternative medicine with results, research and centuries of "anecdotal experience" evidencing profound efficacy and facilitating personal autonomy and decreased dependence on a broken healthcare system. For Sherri, these brutal series of experiences were the launching pad for what is now her business, Green Nurse Group and has led to her work as Medical Director of Irie Bliss Wellness. She has the opportunity to help others on their journey with cannabis. She discusses the personal stigma she had to overcome as well as challenges within her own family who were not initially supportive of her foray into the cannabis industry among other potential roadblocks so many of us experience as we advocate for what we know to be true about cannabis. It is a life saving plant that has the power to transform one's entire state of being. Sherri and Green Nurse Group as well as many other Cannabis Nurses, Doctors who are slowly starting to embrace cannabis and other professionals with whom Sherri inspires sit at the crossroads of this exciting yet also frustrating time in traditional medicine as the systems we have depended on for so long to help keep us alive and having quality of life are not leading to overall improved quality of life for more than not. One final quote from Sherri and then be sure to check out her links: "I honestly see this (cannabis as medicine) being integrated into mainstream medicine, but it's going to happen in the community first. So in other words, as healthcare professionals, a lot of cannabis nurses, including myself, the traditional healthcare system has failed us in multiple ways. Not only were surgeries denied, medications were denied. I had to fight for my for surgical procedures, the mental health system-completely broken. Bottom line is that a lot of systems that we medical professionals, especially cannabis nurses have come from, we've come from broken systems, and so we want to make it better. And how do we make it better? We start in our communities by educating and then there's going to be a critical mass eventually. It's going to happen and I've already seen it ...now I'm getting phone calls from more doctors asking, "Hey, what's the green nurse?"

The awesome Dr. Stan Marks explains how important diseases of the hindgut are for cats and how you can deal with them. He is an amazing guest and wealth of knowledge on many different cat topics. We laughed a lot, but no D-words :-( for us to cash in on

Are you pooping often enough? When you poop, do you take enough time? This week, we discuss the things we believe about poop that may not actually be true. Did you know that John Wayne died with 40 pounds of impacted poop in his colon? Good because that's totally false. But did Elvis? Listen in to find out. Also, hear about Mike's wet and wild week in which he used a bidet for the first time. Sorry about the clicking noise in the middle. We're still working on perfecting our new podcasting equipment.

This week we had a new game by our good buddy Esper, and even Turdhat jumped in to play. Sober September also started this week, and we’ll go over the score card of who is in and who is out….and who cheated.  Also, a couple of deputy sheriffs got caught saying some pretty “unique” stuff […]

This podcast contains all you need to know about the medical management of severe ulcerative colitis, from definitions, treatments, toxic megacolon, when to call the surgeon and many other things you will find useful to know whether a medical student, trainee in medicine or trainee in surgery. It is longer than many other podcasts from School of Surgery, but well worth the time, so make yourself a cup of tea and settle down to listen to Jon Lund talk to Bod Goddard about severe ulcerative colitis. Andrew "Bod" Goddard is a consultant gastroenterologist and Jon Lund a consultant colorectal surgeon, both working at the Royal Derby Hospital, UK

Die cGMP-abhängige Proteinkinase (cGKI) vermittelt den relaxierenden Effekt der NO/cGMP Signalkaskade im glatten Muskel. Die Phosphorylierung des IP3-Rezeptor assoziierten cGMP-Kinase Substrats (IRAG) ist ein Prozess, der in diesem Mechanismus involviert ist. Um dieses Modell genauer zu verifizieren, wurde die cGMP-abhängige Relaxation in Mäusen, die ein modifiziertes IRAG expremieren, untersucht. Bei der IRAGD12/D12 Maus handelt es sich um eine Deletionsmutante, bei der die Interaktionsstelle von IRAG mit dem IP3-Rezeptor Typ I zerstört wurde, was dazu führt, dass IRAG nicht mit dem IP3-Rezeptor Typ I interagieren kann. Diese Mäuse zeigen eine normale Futteraufnahme, der Kotabsatz ist aber signifikant geringer als bei Wildtypmäusen. Eine Röntgenkontrastuntersuchung mit Hilfe von Bariumsulfat offenbarte eine deutliche Verlängerung der Darmpassagezeit, einen Megaoesophagus sowie ein Megacolon. In situ-Erhebungen an der eröffneten Bauchhöhle bestätigen diese Befunde. Gründe für diese Veränderungen könnten Funktionsstörungen in der glatten Muskulatur sein. Zur Stützung dieser Vermutung wurden die cGMP-abhängigen Effekte an der glatten Muskulatur des Darmtraktes untersucht. Die Untersuchung des Hormon induzierten Tonus im Jejunum ergab keinen signifikanten Unterschied in der cGMP-Wirkung zwischen den Wildtyp- und den IRAGD12/D12 Mäusen. Der CCh induzierte Tonus im Colon der Wildtypmäuse wird im Gegensatz zu den IRAGD12/D12 Mäusen durch 8 Br- cGMP um ca. 90% reduziert. Bei den IRAGD12/D12 Mäusen bewirkt 8 Br cGMP nur eine sehr geringe Relaxation (16%) des Hormon induzierten Tonus am Längsmuskel des Colons. Eine Vorinkubation mit dem Phosphatase-Hemmstoff Calyculin A in Präparaten von Wildtypmäusen hebt den relaxierenden Effekt von 8-Br-cGMP im glatten Muskel des Dünndarms auf, im glatten Muskel des Colons findet dagegen keine Aufhebung statt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass IRAG eine entscheidende Bedeutung für die cGMP/cGKI-vermittelte Relaxation im Colon, aber nicht im Jejunum hat. Eine cGMP/cGKI-vermittelte Aktivierung einer Phosphatase kann als möglicher Mechanismus der cGMP abhängigen Relaxation im Jejunum in Frage kommen. Eine mögliche Phosphatase könnte hierbei die Myosin leichte Ketten Phosphatase (MLCP) sein. Es ist aber nach wie vor unklar, ob diese Ergebnisse Grund für die geringe Lebenserwartung der IRAGD12/D12 Mäuse sind. Um die Ursachen dafür zweifelsfrei feststellen zu können, bedarf es weiterführender Untersuchungen.
