Esophagus Diseases And Disorders

-
In this article we will see what would be the causes of intestinal cancer, especially, gastrointestinal cancer.  As a medical transcriptionist trainee, we should all know about small intestinal cancer symptoms and gastic intestinal cancer symptoms. The long food tube, anatomically known as gastrointestinal tract is placed behind the heart. This is a long tube like structure that connects mouth with gastric tube or food tube where the food is settled from the mouth for digestion. This tube is called esophagus, which sized approximately of 25 cm to 30 cm and which has a capability of contraction and extension. There are two valves present at the junction where the mouth and esophagus meets. These valves will open only at the instant of swallowing of food materials or at the instance of vomiting.  Esophagus has the ability to push the food material that enters into the mouth to the small intestines. Even if we take from the head upside down, it has the ability to push the food from the mouth to the esophagus. The fraction of time to do this action is just 6 to 7 seconds. This time is common for any kind of food materials that may be liquid or solid food.

There are three kinds of diseases that will occur in the esophagus. The first one is inflammation happened due to the acid regurgitation from the intestines to the esophagus. The second one is called achalasia, which is a change in the esophagus’s extension and contractions due to a disease condition. The third abnormal condition occurs when there is any cancer or any abnormal masses present in the esophagus. The acidity is the common condition occurs in all people.

The reason for the above abnormal conditions in the esophagus like acidity, achalasia or any cancer is due to the change in food habits. We should avoid oil foods or junk foods and should encourage us to have natural foods like fresh vegetables and fruits to avoid any abnormal conditions. Due to the over consumption of oil foods is the primary reason for secretion of more acid in the intestines and then that acid regurgitates into the esophagus. We should avoid all kinds of fast foods, as these things contain more fat. All should try to do any kind of exercises, particularly the persons follow sedentary lifestyle. More fat accumulation not only disfigures the appearance and also affects the normal function of heart. Consumption more tea or coffee also affects the general wellbeing of the intestines.

In the next post, we will see the symptoms of esophagus abnormalities and its treatments. Okay. Come on.

Abdominopelvic quadrants and regions are divided into 9 regions as per the division of the abdominal and pelvic cavities to explain the regions in which internal organs are found. They are as follows: Hypochondriac, epigastric, lumbar, umbilical, inguinal, and hypogastric. Now we will see about all abdominopelvic quadrants and regions one by one now. 1. Hypochondriac regions (2): The two upper right and left regions below the cartilage (chondr/o) of the ribs that extend over the abdomen. 2. Epigastric regions (2): This is the region above the stomach. 3. Lumbar regions (2): The two right and left regions near the waist part of the body. 4. Umbilical regions (1): The region of the umbilicus or navel portion of the body. 5. Inguinal regions (2): The two lower right and left regions of the body, inguin/o means groin that is the area where the two legs join together with the trunk of the body. This region is also called iliac regions because they are near the ilium part

Grammar is very crucial in any language.  A medical transcriptionist must be well-versed in his language skills i.e. writing skills.  This unavoidable skill needs specialized knowledge in English grammar apart from strong listening skills and medical language skills, computer operating skills, and fast typing skills are of having secondary importance to be a successful medical transcription professional. In this post, we will see about basic parts of speech in English, such as, 1.  NOUN. 2.  PRONOUN. 3.  VERB. 4.  ADVERB.  We will see about one by one now. 1.  Noun - A noun is used to denote a name of a person, animal, place, of a inhuman thing in the universe.  For example, 1.  John is a name that denotes a boy.  2.  Dog is a name that specifies an animal. 3.  San Diego is mentioned to denote a place. 4.  Stone is denoted to specify an inhuman thing.

Body Cells and Differentiation-Lesson 1

Body cells are different types. We often may read about stem cell types. Like in a movie there are many actors to do their different roles to establish a story, in our body there are different kinds of cells to do different roles to keep the body stable and active. The cells in our body are of two types: 1. Somatic cells. Our body contains Muscle cells, Nerve cells, Skin cells, and Fat cells. These kind of cells performing mainly body related functions and so they are called Somatic cells. There are varieties of cells inside the body. Every cell is different or specially created to do their special role inside the body throughout. Fat Cell: For example in body cells a FAT CELL has in it empty and large spaces for fat storage, and a muscle is slender and long and has in it fiber material that help in relaxing and contracting, as well as a skin cell is square in shape and also flat in structure to give protection to our body and a nerve cell which is long in struct
