Welcome to the first Mediccom Event! This is going to be digestion, here are all the topics we have selected that we think are important to cover, in order to give you a deeper understanding into different digestive diseases that will be covered in medical school. We hope that each student will learn something new from this event to contribute to their Wider Reading.
Each title is broad and can be explored however you would like.
We have created a few topics that your PBL presentation should cover:
Pathophysiology - How does this condition come about, which biochemical systems does it involve, what physics are involved and exactly why does it happen?
Diagnosis - How does a Medical Expert diagnose this?
Current Treatment - How does one currently treat this disease?
Complications - Lacks in current treatment
Analytics, Need to Raise Awareness and Any Innovative ideas to further treatment?
Ethical Concerns - How can you implement the 4 pillars of medical Ethics in a scenario. Are there any notable cases?
Make sure to reference each article used (Put your bibliography on the last slide). We hope you have fun researching!

Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Gallstones
Gallstones
Gallstones may form if bile contains too much cholesterol, too much bilirubin, or not enough bile salts. Researchers do not fully understand why these changes in bile occur. Gallstones also may form if the gallbladder does not empty completely or often enough. NHS

Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder that affects the large intestine. Signs and symptoms include cramping, abdominal pain, bloating, gas, and diarrhoea or constipation, or both. IBS is a chronic condition that you'll need to manage long term. Mayo Clinic

Hirschsprung's Disease
Hirschsprung's Disease
Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) is a birth defect. This disorder is characterized by the absence of particular nerve cells (ganglions) in a segment of the bowel in an infant. The absence of ganglion cells causes the muscles in the bowels to lose their ability to move stool through the intestine (peristalsis). NORD

Mesenteric Adenitis
Mesenteric Adenitis
Mesenteric adenitis is a mild condition which causes temporary pain in the abdomen, mainly in children. Mesenteric adenitis means inflamed (swollen) lymph glands in the abdomen, which cause abdominal pain. Tameside Hospital NHS

Hiatal Hernia
Hiatal Hernia
A hiatal hernia is when your stomach bulges up into your chest through an opening in your diaphragm, the muscle that separates the two areas. The opening is called the hiatus, so this condition is also called a hiatus hernia.
There are two main types of hiatal hernias: sliding and paraesophageal. WebMD

Diverticulitis
Diverticulitis
Diverticula are small bulges or pockets that can develop in the lining of the intestine as you get older. Most people with diverticula do not get any symptoms and only know they have them after having a scan for another reason. When there are no symptoms, it is called diverticulosis. NHS
