Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Differentiation and Treatment: Irritable bowel syndrome is one of the most common diagnoses seen in primary care, as well as gastroenterology specialty practices. Irritable bowel syndrome is a benign, but life-altering, condition that is commonly confused with inflammatory bowel disease, which can lead to potentially life-threatening complications such as malignancy. The pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of both conditions will be explored, as well as how to differentiate between the two pathologies and potential complications. Primary Care Management of Patients Post-Weight-Reduction Surgery: Paralleling the obesity epidemic, gastric bypass and sleeve surgeries are being performed with increasing frequency in the United States. Often, chronic management of patients after weight-reduction surgery falls to the primary care provider. Routine management, as well as potential complications of weight-reduction surgery in this population, will be discussed. In addition, in light of the fact that weight-reduction surgery is ineffective if proper diet and exercise patterns are not developed, these topics will also be discussed. Abdominal Pain: Differential Diagnosis: Abdominal pain is a common presenting complaint. A systematic approach to breaking down symptoms of abdominal pain and arriving at a diagnosis will be explored. Appropriate diagnostic testing will also be discussed.
