Disease relevance of Abdominal Pain

  • Variegate porphyria (VP), a low-penetrant autosomal dominant inherited disorder of haem metabolism, is characterised by photosensitivity (Fig. 1) and a propensity to develop acute neuropsychiatric attacks with abdominal pain, vomiting, constipation, tachycardia, hypertension, psychiatric symptoms and, in the worst cases, quadriplegia [1].
  • Ingestion of a large dose of the milk sugar lactose--for example, the 50-g load in 1 liter of milk--causes symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, bloating, and flatulence in the majority of people with lactose malabsorption [2].
  • The patients in the nicotine group had greater improvement in the global clinical grade of colitis (P < 0.001) and the histologic grade (P = 0.03), lower stool frequency (a difference of 1.6 stools daily; P = 0.008), less abdominal pain (P = 0.05), and less fecal urgency (P = 0.009) [3].
  • Resistance to ceftriaxone and the fluoroquinolones, which are used to treat invasive salmonella infections, is rare in the United States. We analyzed the molecular characteristics of a ceftriaxone-resistant strain of Salmonella enterica serotype typhimurium isolated from a 12-year-old boy with fever, abdominal pain, and diarrhea [4].
  • Corpus luteum hemorrhage. Cause of acute abdominal pain in patients receiving anticoagulant therapy [5].
 

Psychiatry related information on Abdominal Pain

  • Penicillin was shown to reduce fever and relieve sore throat, dysphagia, headache, abdominal pain, lethargy and anorexia significantly beyond that achieved with aspirin or acetaminophen alone [6].
  • By the second visit, the T group reported taking medications to achieve regularity less often (P = 0.0269), straining less often (P = 0.0210), having pain with bowel movement (BM) less often (P = 0.0116), and having crampy abdominal pain less often (P = 0.123) than the C group [7].
  • The clinical features are numerous and include headache, fatigue, dizziness, confusion, memory loss, paraesthesia, chest pain, abdominal pain, nausea, and diarrhoea as well as coma, convulsions and death [8].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Abdominal Pain

  • Bleeding from corpus luteum should be considered in differential diagnosis of low abdominal pain in women of reproductive age receiving anticoagulant therapy [5].
  • In 1983, 949 cases of acute non-fatal illness consisting of headache, dizziness, blurred vision, abdominal pain, myalgia, and fainting occurred in the West Bank. Physical examination and biochemical tests were otherwise normal [34].
  • METHODS: Enzyme immunoassay was applied to determine I-FABP levels in the sera of 96 subjects: 13 preoperative patients with ischemic bowel diseases (5 cases of mesenteric infarction and 8 cases of strangulated obstruction of the small bowel), 35 healthy subjects, and 48 hospitalized patients with acute abdominal pain [35].
  • The diagnostic triad of multiple episodes of abdominal pain with elevated serum amylase and identification of the anomaly by ERCP was present uniformly [36].
  • To model a process of functional abdominal pain in females we studied the time course and estrogen dependency of a hyperalgesic state induced by ovariectomy in adult mice [37].
