ConsultantLive.com Launches a New Quiz Series on GI Disorders for Primary Clinicians
NORWALK, Conn., Aug. 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- UBM Medica US announces that Consultant Live has launched a new quiz series to help primary care clinicians hone their GI diagnostic and therapeutic skills, skills they can put to good use in daily practice. Clinicians read a question, choose from several possible answers, and then read a succinct discussion of why their answer is — or isn't — the best option.
Abdominal pain; heartburn; constipation; nausea -- these and other symptoms related to gastrointestinal (GI) disease are extraordinarily common. Every year, an estimated 60 and 70 million Americans are diagnosed with GI disorders that range from GERD to inflammatory bowel disease to hepatitis.
Among the quizzes presented:
- A 31-year-old woman had intermittent abdominal cramping for years. Which test should be ordered next to rule out celiac disease?
- A 58-year-old man with GERD of 20 years duration now uses as-needed PPI doses for breakthrough symptoms. How would you proceed and why?
- Is consumption of nuts and seeds a relative contraindication in patients with diverticulosis?
