Treatment of intestinal diverticulosis is aimed at improving the quality of life of patients with diverticular disease, for this it is necessary to relieve symptoms.
In uncomplicated diverticulosis, laboratory testing is performed when establishing a diagnosis to exclude other diseases. Suspicion of complications dictates the need for a detailed laboratory examination.
Diverticulosis of the intestine may be the cause of non-specific complaints from the intestine - abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, flatulence. To establish a diagnosis and exclude other causes of non-specific complaints, visualization of the diverticulum (diverticula) is necessary using colonoscopy or irrigoscopy with barium enema, CT.
Diverticulosis is a condition characterized by multiple diverticula in the colon, likely due to long-term consumption of a low-fiber diet. Most diverticula are asymptomatic, but some become inflamed or bleed. Treatment for diverticulosis depends on the symptoms.
The first reports of side effects of drugs on the pancreas concerned corticosteroids prescribed for various, rather severe and painful diseases: bronchial asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, pemphigus, thrombocytopenic purpura, aplastic anemia, etc.
During the period of exacerbation of chronic pancreatitis, the main treatment measures are aimed at relieving the severity of the inflammatory process and inactivating pancreatic enzymes. During the period of remission, treatment is mainly reduced to symptomatic and replacement therapy.
The symptoms of chronic pancreatitis are highly variable: they differ during periods of remission and exacerbation of the disease, and depend on the characteristics of the clinical course (clinical form) of the disease, its stage, and a number of other factors.
Chronic pancreatitis is a persistent inflammation of the pancreas that results in permanent structural damage with fibrosis and duct strictures, accompanied by decreased exocrine and endocrine function.
Somatostatin-producing pancreatic tumors were first described in 1977 by L. J. Larsson et al. The tumors, mostly carcinomas, originate from somatostatin-producing D cells. Metastasis occurs primarily to the liver.
