vomiting/diarrhea

We present a case of twin Hispanic male infants fed with cow's milk formula who presented at 3 weeks of life with nonbilious, nonbloody vomiting and diarrhea. Laboratory evaluation revealed leukocytosis, acidosis, and methemoglobinemia. Sepsis evaluation was negative. Although they recovered quickly

The case of a young woman who presented with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea is outlined; the etiology turned out to be a first attack of multiple sclerosis. Plausible mechanisms are discussed.

UNASSIGNED Data on norovirus epidemiology among all ages in community settings are scarce, especially from tropical settings. UNASSIGNED We implemented active surveillance in 297 households in Peru from October 2012 to August 2015 to assess the burden of diarrhea and acute gastroenteritis (AGE) due

The role of individual case characteristics, such as symptoms or demographics, in norovirus transmissibility is poorly understood. Six nursing home norovirus outbreaks occurring in South Carolina, U.S. from 2014 to 2016 were examined. We aimed to quantify the contribution of symptoms and other case

A 51-year-old woman complaining of weakness in the limbs was diagnosed as having a duodenal gastrinoma on performing a further evaluation. Surgical resection was performed with selective arterial calcium injection for localization. During preoperative hospitalization, she experienced recurrent

Diseases that cause vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and gastroenteritis are major problems for populations worldwide. Patients, particularly infants, elderly, and immunocompromised individuals, may present at any point in a wide spectrum of disease states, underscoring the need for the clinician

OBJECTIVE We determine whether single-dose oral ondansetron administration to children with vomiting as a result of acute gastroenteritis without dehydration reduces administration of intravenous fluid rehydration. METHODS In this 2-hospital, double-blind, placebo-controlled, emergency

BACKGROUND Strongyloidiasis hyperinfection and disseminated disease have high mortality rates due to several complications and early detection of Strongyloides infection is therefore prudent. UNASSIGNED A 37-year-old male patient came with chronic diarrhea, intractable vomiting and was found to have

Fluid therapy is generally the most life saving and important therapeutic measure in a critical pet suffering from dehydration due to gastrointestinal losses (vomiting and/or diarrhea). Fluid therapy should be personalized to the patient's history, complaint, physical examination and laboratory

Fluid therapy in the patient with vomiting and diarrhea is essential to correct hypovolemia, dehydration, acid-base imbalance, and serum electrolyte abnormalities. Prediction of acid-base or electrolyte disturbances is difficult; therefore, point of care testing is beneficial to optimize therapy.

Diarrhea and vomiting in infancy are not common complaints in the life of a busy Canadian family practitioner, but when they do occur the person caring for the infant is usually apprehensive, frustrated and concerned, deserving one's immediate attention. Although the condition is usually acute and

Dehydration is responsible for the morbidity and, rarely, mortality secondary to vomiting and diarrhea from acute gastroenteritis. Despite the abundance of literature in the last 20 to 30 years focused on the treatment of dehydration with oral rehydration therapy, few studies have focused on the

BACKGROUND Viral gastroenteritis with dehydration is one of the most frequent reasons for visits to pediatric emergency departments (ED). Parental intervention before presentation to the ED can make a significant difference in the course of a child's illness. There is a discrepancy between medical

A 2-year-old Dachshund was presented for vomiting and diarrhea. Abdominal ultrasound revealed Dirofilaria immitis in the abdominal aorta and an avascular segment of small intestine. The dog was euthanized. Necropsy revealed D. immitis in the abdominal aorta and widespread necrotizing arteriolitis.

Symptoms are subjective patient experiences that may negatively impact the patient's hospitalization, treatment plan, and quality of life. Critically ill patients frequently experience nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea related to underlying disease, procedures, and medical interventions (eg,
